Do you name your consoles?

[Dangy]

Oh yeah, I name all my consoles. I also named my fridge Frosty. He really likes it.

PC: Computdrian
Wii: Wiidrian
SNES: SNESdrian
Neo Geo Pocket Colour: Neo Geo Pocket Colourdrian
Etc: Etcdrian

You get the picture, I'm running it into the ground :yaypspdrian:.

ADRIAN.

What...?

My DS might have a name, but since it's the adopted child of my Wii, only he/she had the right to name it.

Rocky quotes FTW?

WTF?

Ontopic: No, I don't give names to my consoles, although I did change the name of my PSP to Nintendo DSi, for the lulz.

 

[The Catboy]

My DS is named Kyle. So whenever something goes wrong I can yell "Damn it Kyle!"

 

[ToiletDS]

No, Just no.

I can't say that I give my consoles names other than you worthless piece of shit when I'm in one of my moods.

But I named every computer I have ever built for my self, so far i have had ;

Holly - Ahh he was a 486 with a whopping 12mb of ram and a 500 mb hard drive but it had a long life didnt fully retire him until 2000.

Hilly - Wasnt all that memorable i remember her being a complete pain in the ass but thats about it, i sold her to a friend of mine that was just starting out in computing.

Queeg - Good old Queeg now he was a work horse sadly gone before his time when we had a thunderstorm and my girlfriend had just moved the bedroom round and she plugged him into the no surge protected socket...

Asch - My current computer an AND Phenom II X4 805 2.50 GHz processor, 8 gb ram 2Tb hard drive, Geforce GT130, 9 USB ports ( moving up to 13 next week ) and of course the wifi card

I also had an amiga 1200 at one point too probably around the same time as Holly which was just called barry for some strange reason

 

[Depravo]

No. I let the console's manufacturer do that for me.

 

[CannonFoddr]

I'm just glad no-one mentioned they're gonna play with their 'wiinkie'

 

[Leo Cantus]

No, its just weird

 

[Hardkaare]

Red Dwarf fan eh?

As a joke I did, here's the story

I'd just built a computer for my room ( It's great ) when my friend asked what I was doing, she didn't understand anything I told her and then when I tried to turn the PC on it wouldn't power up so I called it stupid in anger

then she said ''just like me then'' and that's how my computer got the name '' Hannah ''

Now when my other friend found out my PC was named after Hannah she felt jealous ( like you do

) A few days later she saw me playing Mass Effect 2 before we went out to subway and she said ( as a joke ) ''I wish you played with me like that'' and then like the PC the Xbox 360 was called '' Lauren ''

Final machine is again a PC. I was on msn to both Hannah and Lauren and I'd just done a clean install of W7 on my cousins PC and they said what you going to call that, then my cousin and his girlfriend came round to pick it up and it gained the name of his GF '' Kayler ''

So there's my story, I don't actually use the names but at least they have them. Now what to call my Wii

 

[xist]

Unless it asks for a name no....although my PC is called Innocent for some reason.

Red Dwarf fan eh?

Yeah used to be a big RD fan before they made back to earth *shudders* I cant believe they screwed that up so badly ...

As for amigas, I've been playing with the idea of trying to get another 1200 some where down the line but I dont really have the space for it ... or the time to really appreciate it anymore people generally amazed at the amount of consoles/computers/arcade machines I actually own yet I don't own an amiga anymore ... mind you 99% of my little collection is in storage in my home town in the west midlands ... sad but true.

Actually my first car was called starbug ... it was a green piece of shit that kept braking down but I will always remember her * sigh *

 

[Ace Gunman]

I sure do. I have cute little pet names for all of my consoles. They're pretty original too, I might add. I call them, get this, this will knock your socks off... Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, and PlayStation 2.

My friend Amelia insists on giving nicknames to everything, so my DS is nicknamed ADA after the battle AI in Zone of the Enders. Now it says 'good morning' with ADA's voice whenever I boot up Moonshell. Is there any way to get that sound file to play when I boot up my Evo as opposed to just moonshell, by the way?

The other consoles:

- My SNES is nicknamed Homer 'cause it's turning yellow.
- My N64 is referred to as 'Captain Scarlet' because it's been painted metallic red over the years and has survived two semi serious fires and being thrown out of the window with hardly a scratch to show for it. it has danced in the blue flame, it is immortal.
- The Xbox 360 has got a rather unfair reputation as 'The Suicide Brick' thanks to my nephew blowing up no less than SEVEN of them. He constantly gives them Red Ring and various other problems.
- The PS3 is simply referred to as Chaos 'cause it looks like Chaos 2 from Robot Wars. It's also called 'you worthless piece of crap' a lot at the moment, we're having problems with everything going fuzzy for some reason.
- The Wii isn't dignified with a nickname, it's not been used enough in the last twelve months to justify any sort of identity.
- The PSP is referred to as 'Pointless' because the analogue stick is damaged and we're just too lazy to fix it, so we sold all the games and now it's just kind of a backup web browser for me when my brother is using the laptop.
- My PS2 is referred to my my youngest nephew as 'the monkey game' because he doesnt seem to understand that I have games other than Super Monkey Ball Deluxe. He's only 6.
- The laptop has earned the nickname 'The Data Thief'. I'm posting on a board linked with piracy, draw your own conclusions.

QUOTE(Satangel @ Feb 27 2010, 05:13 PM) Yeah, it's DS and Wii.

I was just going to post something like this

But you know you're certifiably pwnt when even Ace pwns you

 

[Splych]

LOL. they aren't pets.
