265203 2004-08-26 02:53:00 Mine comes from the first 3 letter if my real name (and a lot of people when I was at school also called me stu as well :), so I used that for my ID on the internet)

& the numbers at the end is the date a rejoined Press F1, after my first ID hit 2999 posts.

265205 2004-08-26 05:34:00 Used to play one of those air ace games. Started of with the name "Hotshot" then managed to work my way through promotion to Captain. Then I retired from the game, got bored and moved to forums like this. :D Cptn Hotshot (3904)
265206 2004-08-26 08:47:00 Well I am a real Captain(ret.),and the Hook part came from my ability to administer a general anesthetic with a left hook,thereby ending any disputes rapidly,but this was a long time before I was a captain.Funny how things stick sometimes.

265207 2004-08-26 16:29:00 True Story

I was playing Counter Strike (an early version) and was trying the different guns and as I used them I changed my name to the name of the guns .
Full 6 vs 6 server, and playing from a fast net café (ADSL speed when every one had dial up)
~Console “Name Scout”
I killed 8 people with 8 bullets from my Scout (6 were headshots) in just under two round .
What happens? I get kicked from the server for being too good :(
~Console “Retry”
Kicked again
~Console “Name SC0UT” spelt with a zero
~Console “Retry”
They couldn’t spell my name so I didn’t get kicked again . . . . . and the name stuck
