CaptainChainsaw Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hi all,Someone requested that I share my story. I used to use a chat room pretty heavily years ago and when I first registered I found that, in part anyway, the username I picked seemed to determine how people treated me. After a few changes in username I selected CaptainChainsaw as I felt I needed something authoritative while also a bit menacing lol I found that some were a bit scared to talk to me, others thought it was funny. It's kinda stuck as I can't think of anything else, I even used it as the name of my first php project www.captainchainsaw.com...... sacfree pants anyone? lol see the clothing section!Cheers,CC :) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/19258-the-story-behind-your-username/page/8/#findComment-626961 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, I prefer fantasy over sci-fi in general.[/quote]Definitely have to agree here. I had thankfully read all the LoTR books a second time shortly before [i]The Fellowship of the Ring[/i] came out, so I was once again reminded of the creative license that movie makers are (sadly) able to take in some cases. I mean, I've never really understood how a movie maker could completely change a character from a book or just decide to leave them out of the story completely (Tom Bombadil, for example). I still must say that, as a movie, the LoTR trilogy is one of my favorites.As for other fantasy writing in general, I've enjoyed reading Robert Jordan's [i]Wheel of Time[/i] series (although there are a couple duds in there) as well as reading Terry Goodkind's [i]Sword of Truth[/i] books. I would like to see someone get license to do a couple of the better stories in either of those series, too.
