Calling your character a stupid name to change the tone of NPC dialogue
- Thread starter oni-link
- Start date
Putting your name as Daddy in any RPG just makes the whole game so much saucier than usual
I literally did this on purpose as a kid just for this scene. Same with calling link Darunia. Played way too much OoT as a kidFor anyone out there who ever made the mistake of thinking the main character was called "Zelda"...
When the game lets you name your favorite food and you name it "cum"
These posts, this thread.. lmao
Thanks OP for the laugh. :P
Haha, same for me, but I named every character Batman.
Every time Cloud had his Disc 1 dramatic pauses before introducing himself just made me giggle like a little girl.
"Who are you?"
"..."
"I'm Batman."
Is there an opposite to this? Where you study up on the game's lore before you ever start playing so your name can be as appropriate and in-universe as possible? Because that's what I struggle with.
Been doing this in RPGs since Zelda 2. Who needs immersion when every character can call you a dick or an ass!?
Perfection.
Lmaooooo
And yes, I love doing it specially with grindy games it can provide a bit of comedy relief the least you expect it
I used to do something similar, but probably worse in the arcades in the 90s. Fighting games were the most frequently played, or at least setup to be the most visible (and generally this attracted more people to them). I played them so much even when the only one available was the AI that most of the screens were covered in that three letter word when it would show the top scores.
We are all terrible people.
Lmao I remember seeing this. This one's very good too.
There was a fellow on my server called Boyardee with the Chef title. XD
On topic; I believe KotOR and KotOR II had a few moments like this.
Guilty of that one, too. And also Mama Luigi.
I chose similar names for my Dream Eaters in Kingdom Hearts 3D.
I can't even explain this one but it makes me laugh.
Always a classic
Didnt actually expect to enjoy Mystery Dungeon so my team name ended up being called Team Chungus
I remember that the eldest child of a babysitter I had when I was younger would name Red and Blue from Pokemon "Butt" and "Nugget," respectively.
Someone in FFXIV named themselves Iol Imao.
The results are great.

Oh my. I can't stop laughing. I lost it at "lol?!"
Can't find it now, but I saw this cool fan art of Earthbound where the player named entered their own name (not the protagonist) as Pokey. Then during the final battle with Giygas, when the heroes are getting hopelessly beat down, the game says, "Pokey prayed for their success", and the art shows a crying Pokey who is secretly hoping Ness and friends can stop the horror he's unleashed.
Always a classic
Well, we've certainly reached peak something, but dammed if I know quite what it is.

This made me bust out laughing at work.
Always a classic
I don't quite know why it is so funny but it is.
This is my biggest pet peeve. I can remember when I was younger my friend would do this ALL the time. I hated it then, I hate it now. It just rubs me the wrong way. That being said, to each their own.
Having read over my post, maybe I should consider naming my next character "Takes Games Too Seriously"... we will have to see if there is an RPG that will support that many characters. *sigh*
