Title: NAAAAME TAAAAAG
Post by: TEM on December 04, 2010, 01:17:16 PM

I got a randomly dropped nametag in TF2, what should I name, and what should I name it? I'm particularly keen to rename the Medi Gun, Sandvich, or Shotgun. Cool pop culture references a plus, but original material is okay too if you don't mind me using it.

Here are some that I thought of:

Homewrecker - Oh Baby! (Fallout: New Vegas), Tim "The Toolman" Taylor (Home Improvement)
Medi Gun - Moral Support, Jesus Loves You
Sandvich - Some real sandwich name.
Shotgun - The Terrible Shotgun (Fallout 3), Gunshot, 12 Gauge Gus
Wrench - Mr. Fix-It

Let me know of any ideas or if you think I should use any of the names already listed by myself or anyone else. I'll add any good suggestions to the above list.

P.S.: 40 characters are allowed, try to keep it at least reasonably SFW so I don't get banned or something, but I'm not afraid of a some sauciness.

I'm pretty sure the Shotgun is the same Shotgun that can be used by everybody.

Everybody being Engineer, Heavy, and Pyro.

And the Soldier.

And if I remember correctly you can name each shotgun individually. I haven't played in a while so I'm not 100% sure on that.

Are you naming this for yourself or for everyone who plays the game?

The name will display to everyone playing, for example killcam shots.

But it's only your weapon that's being named?

I don't play these games, but I thought of a couple..

Sandvich: The Sauerkraut and Toadstool (with Arsenic Sauce), or the Hero

Wrench: Rocky Wrench  (Mario reference yo)

Named the Medi Gun "Moral Support". I figured it was the best because no one will ever see it since it doesn't kill people.

People see the name of the Medigun as you're healing them, you know.

I wish I could get a screen shot of me using this thing.

What's stopping you? Does TF2 not have a screenshot key? Use a program like FRAPS.

Can't take a shot of myself healing someone else with the name displaying. But I'm getting lots of yucks from the people I heal so that's good enough.
