superchunk on 03 April 2017

Love seeing this thread get re-birthed every few years. I've been on this site too long.


Chunk is one of my favorite characters in Goonies. He gains a close friendship with Sloth in the movie and there is a scene where they act like pirates and Sloth rips his shirt open to become "super sloth" by showing a superman shirt underneath. From that, I started using the name "superchunk" in all online gaming around the time I first began playing online games on PC with Battlefield 1942.

Funny tidbit, it wasn't until many years later (from something I was doing on this site) I realized there is also a rock band with the same name.

COKTOE on 11 April 2017

Cocktoe or Cock-Toe is the name of the pet snake, of character "Himmel", from the movie The Pest. The main character, when confronted with Himmel and his snake, is told that name of the snake is Cocktoe, which causes The Pest to ask if the snake is named for the French playwright Jean Cocteau, to which Himmel answers " Nien, after my two favorite body parts." On the Dreamcast, with games the allowed names, it was COCKTOE. Starting with the original Xbox, it became COKTOE, because Microsoft and later Sony, did not like that extra C. Only watch this movie after huffing a garbage bag full of gasoline.

Back in the day when we were having our first child, and my wife was visiting message boards where moms go talk about babies, they used "bdbdbd" as thumbs up, so that's where I got the idea.

Platina said:

Platina is basically the direct translation of Platinum to Japanese: プラチナ (purachina), with the proper translation as 白金 (shirogane)

So Pura-chi-na -> Pla-ti-na is basically how I got the name. I first heard this name from Pokemon Adventures Platinum where the name is translated to Platina rather than Platinum. That volume itself is sub par, but the name stuck ever since and coincedentally is also my favourite Pokemon game :p

Platina is also platinum in Finnish, FYI.



Ei Kiinasti.

Eikä Japanisti.

Vaan pannaan jalalla koreasti.

Self-branding purposes. Not really as in to sell something to someone else, but to motivate me to continue 4 of my overall goals. Kind of like a self mantra I guess. If anyone one succeeds or fails, I'll probably explain in depth.

Mine is because my father´s name is Wagner and mom last name is Paiva...



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

History of my username is:

Icelandic band Skalmold translates as 'Age of Swords' in English
and the OV is for something fancy, instead of a dull of.



The age of kings and kingdoms

Mine is self explanatory, though the sos is from an anime. :)

Targaryen is from the ancestor clan I am rooting for in Game of Thrones

Vers is.... something NSFW, you can message me about it if you're curious

2 is because I used the username in another app but I got a new phone and couldn't recover my old account. But the number stuck anyway
