How'd you get your game ID?
« on: November 24, 2009, 10:36:12 PM »
This may make for an interesting topic, there's alot of game id's out there, share your stories!


I remember when I was real young, 3 or 4 would be my guess...We (father, mother and I) visited my grandparents. One afternoon while my parents were out, I was left alone with my grandfather and grandmother. I was bored, so I went looking for them, as they had stepped out of the room for a few minutes. I heard voices and followed them until I was at the doorway to their bedroom (not a nasty story, I promise). They were arguing about something, and my grandmother was really giving it to my grandfather, calling him every bad name in the book. He just shrugged it off. She then called him "Buster", and that really set him off. Any swear word and bad name you could think of he didn't mind, but as soon as she called him "Buster" he got really upset. I then left their room and went back in the living room. Since then the name has stuck with me.

When I came over from warbirds I tried to keep my ID Addman but apperantly it was taken, as I looked at the ground in dispair, my cat, Phatzo, was sitting there looking at me, so, this is what I have.

BTW this cat bears a remarkable resemblance

When I started playing (3 years ago, I was 15 then) I thought that there would be no way to change my name once I picked one, so I wanted a good one (now I know you can just call up HTC and ask for a new one). I couldn't think of any names since every one I tried was taken: Hotshot, Ace, Maverick, etc etc (I was 15 I thought they were cool names  :D ). Sitting there thinking I noticed my dads Beer bottle sitting on the table (betcha you can't guess what kind it was!  :P ), and saw a name on the back. Never thought once about changing it.  :salute

I started flying warbirds, and they only allowed 6 digits in a name.


Then I took a guess as to how good of a virtual pilot I would be  :D

Used to be 5PointOh after this...


Then after my account was "accidentally" deleted (I won't go into the details) I became Coprhead. Not because I like snakes, but because I am a redhead. Though about going back to 5PointOh, but was geting tired of hearing "are you from Five Points Ohio?" :rolleyes:

Have had lots and lots of questions about my name.  I fly out of the sun and bite these.
