GMRyujin is dead! Long live Doomtrain!

Since I grew weary of explaining how to pronounce my old name (“I dunno! I didn’t make it up for speaking!”) and since it has no purpose anymore, I’ve changed my name. And my new name rocks.

I like it. Nice Final Fantasy reference. It has a beat and you can dance to it. I give it a 9.

Nice ominous ring to it. Now I will hear (deep bass voice) DOOMtrain whenever I read your name. I always heard your old name as “grumjun”, sounding like ‘dungeon’. (Yeah, I know I switched the letters around, but it sounded better than saying it “gehmehrrrrihyougen” - hurt my brain everytime I said or read it, although that did have a nice German ring to it.)

Nooooooooooooooo …

I’ll never adapt! I insist your return to GMRoo uh GMRyoo er GM Ridg mmm GM uhhh…

Oh. I guess I see your point. Never mind!

Gee-Em ree-YOU-gin.

Duh.

Hell why couldn’t you have done the LAST WEEK!?!

Enjoy the move!

Hey! I paid to write here, not to have to think about what I am writing!

That didn’t come out right…

:smiley:

Much better…my brain always saw the old name as “GermUrine”.

I always imagined GMRyujin to start with a low growling sound GRRRRRRRMMMMMM and then end in a high-pitched yuuuuu-jinnnnn!!! sort of like the noise karate people make when they break bricks and stuff. Very japanese.

Doomtrain is much more quietly dangerous-sounding. Stealth ninja. Also good for threatening your nemesises:

Watch out, Mr. Bond/Spiderman/silly rabbit/Lex Luthor/insert threatenee of choice, because the Doomtrain will be coming to get you!!!

Everyone jump on the Doomtrain
Come on now Doomtrain

Damn. Thought I’d be the only one to pick up on the FFVI reference.

Love the new name! Powerful, and just a little creepy.
Will your posts be more filled with DOOM now? :smiley:

And, if so, how much more doom? Perhaps you should make your sig “Now with 30% more DOOM!”

I don’t care what you call yourself. You and your pretty lady will always be friends of mine. As I write this, y’all are on the way to your future, and I would just like to say that it has been a pleasure knowing you and I wish you all the happiness this beautiful world has to offer.

Love y"all!

:Christ, he could have called himself Blaine The Mono! Guess we should be thankful he chose Doomtrain: :wink:

I’m a bit sad since I’d come to associate GMRyujin with funny, good-humoured and insightful posts. With this fancy rebranding I’ll have to recalibrate my associations again. DoomTrain still sounds too slick for me. But since you’re happy with it, I’ll be happy for you. Congratulations! :slight_smile:

Doomtrain also makes an appearance in FFVIII.

The More You Know

Are you sure you were reading MY posts? :wink:

In my case, this is a FF8 reference, because I always enjoyed summoning Doomtrain both for his awesome powers of ass-kicking and because an evil runaway train is beyond cool.

Quasi-DO YOU LIKE RIDDLES, PARDNER?
