[quote="Flobee";p="207532"]I feel like we've done this thread before. Oh well, what's the harm in doing it again?

My first real foray into the world of the intertubes was about 5 years ago when, as a bright eyed and bushy tailed young Invader Zim fanatic, a related search had me come across a forum belonging to a team of people attempting to bring Zim back from the dead. They planned to do this not by whinging and organising mass signings of "BRING BACK INVADER ZIM!!!!11" internet petitions, but by actually producing the show themselves in Flash. "That sounds awesome!", I thought, "I want in on this!"

So I joined up to the site. And because, at the time, Invader Zim was my life, my everything, I wanted to have an Invader Zim related name. So I picked the name belonging to a particular, one shot character from a scene in one episode where Zim decides to spy on the other invaders. He tells the telescope to locate Invader Flobee. We then witness a brief shot of an invader sitting atop a throne, wearing a bunch of rocks tied to his body. Apparently this was enough to fool and win over the rock-people inhabitants of whatever nameless planet he's on, as he is being worshipped by them.

Image

Zim comments "Flobee seems to be doing all right!", and moves on to spy on other invaders. Flobee is never seen or mentioned in any episode ever again.

So yeah, I went with that name. It was eventually shortened to just Flobee, and it's been my internet nickname ever since. A few of my real life friends have told me it suits me, somehow, and have even gone so far as calling me Flobee in person on a couple of occasions. I don't know. But there you go!

Oh, and if you're wondering, the "Invader Zim Fan Animated Series" project failed. One short test episode was produced after like 2 years of getting our act together. It was horrible.

On the very bright side, it introduced me to a lot of great, new online friendships, almost all of which are still going strong to this day. So that's awesome.

Fun fact: Buzzy Beetle is one of those aforementioned friendships. Hi Buzzy! We're friends ! And have been for over 4 years now![/quote] I didn't remember him saying Flobee, but then I went and watched the episode (Invader Zim complete DVD collection comes in handy) and he does in fact call him Flobee.

Re: Explain your username/tag/handle

I've been gaming online since about 1990, using pre-WWW services to access shared content and such. I've had numerous handles over the years, though I tend to be fanatical about keeping them within any given game. Changing my name in a game, even just to add a tag, is something I don't take lightly. Since putting on my <eVa> tag, I have changed my name only once, for about an hour, for a special event.

Alizée Fan is related to the fact that I am a big fan of the French songstress Alizée. At the time I started playing TF2, I was at the peak of my fandom. I have (or at least had) what the fan club thinks is North America's largest collection of Alizée related merchandise, over 300 items ranging from limited edition LPs and internal industry samplers to original PAL K7's of her music videos that were distributed to TV stations, and in-store publicity items. I flew to Paris and met and talked with her at an album release event, and have several personalized autographs. My car packs ALIZEE1 on the plates, and there is nothing on my iPod that isn't by her. Ironically, while I remain a huge fan, my interest in collecting stuff and hanging out on the fan club site is almost nill since meeting her. Getting to talk with her in person blew all other possible experiences out of the water, and I find minimal fulfillment in simply talking about her or collecting any more :-P

A name that pops up frequently in my gaming is Keplar, or its long form, Keplar the Storyteller. This was the name I picked for myself as a guide in EverQuest. I volunteered with them as a guide/senior guide for 5 years under that name, running quests of all sizes, and coordinating major public events on one of the top servers. I've coordinated up to around 300 people at a time for single events, and have been in charge of combat tournaments peaking at around 150 participants. Keplar was not a particular reference to Johannes Kepler, though many people thought it was. It was simply a sound I liked. The addition of "the Storyteller" to the end was a result of my love of history and plot lines. I knew and could tell the story of every historical quest, every plot twist, and every persistent character the game had ever had. This was especially valuable later in my service there, when new players were around who had no concept of what things meant, why certain symbols existed, or the importance that certain areas held.

I played CS:S competitively with the Wooden Nickel (Wdn^5) clan, using the handle Wdn^5|ECooney. ECooney is simply based on my name in real life. I felt I had outgrown the attempts at being scary or hardcore of my youth, but hadn't yet pinned down my identity, so I went with the simple identity that was myself.

Kridgerkanthar Exubitorsylvae, later changed to Kridgerkanthar Edrilus, was my primary playing handle in EverQuest. Kridgerkanthar was the name of the super villain in the Palladium Fantasy RPG game I ran in 8th grade. It sounded evil and intimidating (so I thought), and satisfied my need for bizareness. I played a ranger in the game, and RP'd that aspect intensely. I never once in 6 years of playing killed a wolf or a bear. Exubitorsylvae is rough latin for Guardian of the Woods, which is what I fancied myself as. The later shift to Edrilus stemmed from my push, as a player, to make my fellow players aware of the game's plot history. Edril was a major character, and I portrayed myself as the son of Edril in order to garner attention for my cause.

RigorMortis is the name I used in FPS's back in the day, at least as far back as original Quake. I thought it was cool and sinister. Rigor Mortis, of course, is the stiffening that occurs in a body after death.

Jeremiah Lionheart, frequently abbreviated J. Lionheart or JL, is the name I use in association with pen and paper RPGs. It is the name of a character I made in 6th grade for a Palladium Fantasy game, and is the name I still use to this day with Palladium. I don't feel like it's very creative, but I later explained it as simply being the "humanization" of his real name, which is unpronouncable to most (the character is a Wolfen - a bipedal wolf-man with Roman Empire affiliations)

Iluvcheese goes waaaaay back, representing the name assigned to me on AOL 1.0 by my father in 1993, at the age of 11. He wouldn't let me have any of the handles I wanted, and proposed Ilovecheese to me, as I do have a passion for the stuff. Since I wanted to get online and was fed up with his refusals, I agreed. Names had a 10 character limit at the time, as we soon discovered, and it became Iluvcheese.

Prior to that, I was online using Prodigy, from the time we got our 486SX/25 in 1989. I played an early RPG and some puzzle games and such, though I believe I just used my own name anywhere it asked for a handle. The concept of using an alias didn't really strike me at the age of 7.

No disrespect taken. I lol @ this! I have a hard time not staring at Plinko's & Agent X's avatars. In Plinko's case, it's just slightly spooky to have large hands coming at you in such a bizaare fashion. It's like an easter bunny gone awry. In Agent X's case, it's scary to me because I feel like jello jigglers are about to attack me. LOL! Just can't help but stare at either, it's just like a wreck waiting to happen.

Thats cool Rigges. My name comes from my favourite series of books by David Eddings, The Belgariad and The Malloreon. I've been using the name since about 99, and since I dropped Private from my ingame name I'm more commonly refered to as Bel. :)

Were offstage workers shooting the targets and that's how you shot the smiley face target? Also, he fired seven bullets, while there are eight holes in the paper.

The "nose" of the bullet hole smiley face was already there. It's the hole Danny Glover's character shoots at the start of the clip.

The two eye holes, and the 5 holes of the mouth make up the seven shots fired by Mel Gibson's character.

[/quote] That is correct Flobee also if you measure the Nose hole though you will find that it is slightly moved between the Danny Glover Murtaugh target scene and the Mel Gibson Riggs smiley target scene.

That is because the final Smiley face target that I shot was shot with 8 rounds, 1 for the Murtaugh nose shot and 7 for the Riggs Eyes and Mouth Shot.


Also arfy read my earlier post [gotopost=207667,RiggesPost]Rigges Post[/gotopost] well its on that page

Prez is what everyone calls me on campus.

Name came about as a result of being male, cool, on the drumline and a poli sci major.
