Beowulf - oldest written story in the English language.

Beowulf (/ˈbeɪəwʊlf/; Old English: [ˈbeːo̯wulf]) is an Old English epic story consisting of 3,182 alliterative lines. ... Victorious, Beowulf goes home to Geatland (Götaland in modern Sweden) and later becomes king of the Geats.

Hwæt. We Gardena in geardagum,
þeodcyninga, þrym gefrunon,
hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon.
Oft Scyld Scefing sceaþena þreatum,
monegum mægþum, meodosetla ofteah,
egsode eorlas. Syððan ærest wearð
feasceaft funden, he þæs frofre gebad,
weox under wolcnum, weorðmyndum þah,
oðþæt him æghwylc þara ymbsittendra
ofer hronrade hyran scolde,
gomban gyldan. þæt wæs god cyning.
ðæm eafera wæs æfter cenned,
geong in geardum, þone god sende
folce to frofre; fyrenðearfe ongeat
þe hie ær drugon aldorlease
lange hwile. Him þæs liffrea,
wuldres wealdend, woroldare forgeaf;
Beowulf wæs breme blæd wide sprang,
Scyldes eafera Scedelandum in.

 

[Belial]

Belial is a demon when I was a kid me and my buddies used to play Counter-Strike a lot and we all decided to pick a common theme for nicknames so we can form some sort of team/ clan, and demons it was.

I've been using it ever since...

 

[peate]

Toene a la couenne dure.

 

[Asamu]

Asamu are the middle letters from mASAMUne the most important sword in the Final Fantasy series. It was also the name (Masamune Okazaki) of best weaponsmith who crafted katanas and other blades in Japan in the medieval era.

Ever played against Kill Bill on CSCZ?

Nah, dude, this was way back in the time and it was mostly local, no worldwide fame, I could barely afford 30 minutes of gameplay a week at that time FFS!

[Le Barron de HF]

E-fed wrestling. My character was named Chris and had the diamond cutter as hid finisher. My name is actually Antoine...lol

 

[MrNasty]

I am actually a pretty nice guy.
The name for whatever reason has stuck since the mid-90's when I was playing a WWF wrestling game on Nintendo or PlayStation. You could design your own wrestler and I had one badass looking guy and a friend said he looked nasty. I named in MrNasty and I wasn't even a wrestling fan- just a completely random moment that stuck forever.

Funny that Cutter above has a similar story.​

 

[Bring Bak Damphousse]

I got my hotmail so early, that I only needed an underscore between the two names I wanted. No numbers!

I've had that email for about 23/24 years.

Same here, it’s the one we had to open in my highschool computer class in the late 90s, and like my hf name it seemed like too much of a hassle to change it

What's means your username (login name)

I wonder if anybody can guess mine?

 

[Captain Mountain]

Captain + Nickname of the Captain (was previously Captain Smurf).

 

[Stive Morgan]

Reference to a rogueamp video. Coding, viruses, malware, etc. was a big hobby of mine in high school and the name was an inside joke among my friend group.

 

[OldCraig71]

The year I was born.

 

[The Great Weal]

The year I was born.

2071?

 

[OldCraig71]

2071?

You've figured me out, damn it, things will be different now. Should I tell you about cup number 35?

I wonder if anybody can guess mine?

Longshot guess ... does it have anything to do with the band Spooky Tooth, they were around in the 70s and their signature song was this:



OK, I googled it, it's in reference to a NY jazz ensemble. Right?

 

[LaP]

The year I was born.

So you're not really old

 

[LaP]

My username started as LaPoune on RDS.ca and SRP Racing Pro. It was in honor of this "beautiful young" lady Rose Ouellette - Wikipedia. When RDS.ca forum died i moved to english boards and kept the same user name. People would keep asking me about the signification of it so without thinking about it i decided to change it to LaP. Was not really better as most people though i was a woman because of it (obviously no man would take lap as his username right?). Anyway i changed it to something else on all the other sites i'm active on. It's the only site where i'm still using it. It says i joined in 2012 but pretty sure i joined before that.

 

[OldCraig71]

So you're not really old

If you are over 50 I guess not but if you are 25 then I am ancient.

Good guess....wrong on both. I dabble in physics. It was a saying Einstein had on studying of the very small. He hated QM because they didn't always behave the law of physics. He called their behavior "spooky actions from a distant!"
