Ok, surfing the forums and I see this topic. Very interesting, shame no one's posted to it since '03! :shocked!:
So, source of my usename. Yeah, you're probably thinking "pfff... pokemon..."
Well, isn't that cute.... BUT IT'S WRONG!!! ((lil 2 stupid dogs reference there :P ))
This name actually came to me recently from playing Left 4 Dead... which incidentally is where I met my current gf. Who knew the power of a Zombie Apocalypse could have on love! :heartbeat:
SO. I changed my Steam identity from another to Lickitung due to the fact that when I first started L4D, I sucked. It had been forever since I played a first person shooter and L4D has a learning curve despite it's simple play mechanics. Add to the fact I'm introducing myself to a normally anti-social and condescending community (gamers), I had quickly garnered the anti-newb treatment of getting booted from public games almost as soon as I entered, simply cause someone didn't like my skill level. But I got better!
My favorite character to play as is the Smoker and I've pulled off some amazing sniper/ninja stuff with a zombie that normally moves slow and awkwardly and is extremely weak offensively. One of my best was a mid-air snatch against a person that was commiting suicide simply to deny my team the chance to play as the infected. The person jumped out into a elevator shaft where I was camped, planning to snatch one with my tongue and drag him off into the elevator shaft anyways. The guy dangled there in the middle of the shaft for a good 2minutes like a pinata while the smoker's tongue hold slowly killed him. :ninja: I began to start saying "Fear the tongue!!" as I was getting to be someone hated playing against as a Smoker, because of my skill >:3
So I wanted to change the name and after various tongue themed names came and went, "Lickitung" held and I've even gone further with some Pokemon/L4D hybrid pics!!
