lol. well personally i didnt think gdiddy would be that young, but i didnt expect him to be that old

@ Gdiddy - I like your story. Your name goes beyond the screen. It's cool that your son would give you an original nickname for achieving Grand Fatherhood. Did your grandchild pick it up and continue the moniker?

- "You play video games Gdiddy!?"
~ "That's right. I was playing video games before your Dad was born."
- "They had video games in the olden days!?"
~{laughs} "That's right, I was playing pacman with cavemen when it first came out."
- "What is pacman?"
{Gdiddy googles up a pacman clone and spends the next 45 minutes trying to beat his grandson at it. Out of sheer frustration that he can't beat a 4 year old at pacman he convinces the child that he has an even better game named Quake.}
- "There are an awful lot of buttons in this one Gdiddy."
~"Yeah, well, your old Grandpa is relying on the fact that your little hands aren't developed enough to play."

Nah, my grandson just calls me old man..............in a good way..

[MadGypsy]

Nah, my grandson just calls me old man

There's a good way to be called "old man"? If I called my Grandfather "old man" I would have got my ass whooped by 2 people - my Father and Grandfather, with the potential of my Mother hanging around waiting for a piece.

I guess it's a cultural thing. My family was a bunch of Nazi's about everything. Which as an aside I would like to say that all that does is breed children that go above and beyond for breaking every damn rule.

[gdiddy62]

Sure there is a good way. It is more of a nickname than trying to be insulting. No worries as I was raised with a pet name from my grandparents and had one for both of them as well. It was all good!

I used the GL as my weapon of choice,so all my kills printed out ....was blunted by tagnbagm....so everyone called me Bluntz.There is another player that I ran into around 98 using it on the west coast and since I was an east coast DM player and he was west coast CA it never was a big deal with over 5000 servers I did not give a shit.I think there were some others as well but they were all nooobs, Patbot is the other white meat and a better player than me even if I am older.

I held season tickets to NASCAR races at Bristol Motor Speedway for years. I was on a waiting list for 6 years to get my tickets... but that's another story from back in the day... anyways... We were there for the night race in '86 or '87 I can't recall exactly... and a friend of a friend had a brother who had a souvenir trailer that he followed the race circuit with... There was this black t-shirt with a skull and crossbones on the front pocket and a larger version on the back... with DILLIFAF where the name goes... you know across the top back... Me, in my drunken state of mind asked, what the word stood for, my friend responded but I didn't hear him... I asked again what It said/meant... He said "Does It Look I Give A [email protected]*$"... And I said... I know you don't give a F*$&" but what does that stand for? He said it again... a little louder and a little S L O W E R and I finally got it! And my Quake name was born.

[foq]

ha, clever

[talisa]

yeah indeed clever, wouldve never thought your username had an actual meaning dilligaf

[wicked_lord]

Dilligaf, my dad's quake name was similar to yours rofl.. His was FUJIMO... Fuck U Jack Im Moving On... lol.. he uses freefrag now day's but once in awhile he'll use fujimo.

[Solecord]

The name I used originally was BioVirus... that was back in 98ish? I switched up names quite a bit... Godsmack, steve, recoil, and some others I can't think of right now. Then I came up with Solecord. I was playing America's Army and someone was using that name and I thought it was cool so I "stole" it for use in Quake
