I've never posted this here that I know of.... now you'll all know the (stupid) secret to my screen name
While back I was testing out a Playstation that was supposed to be busted, I had played just about all the demo games I had, but one... Tony Hawk... so I put the bad boy in and gave it a shot (testing a controller, the one that I had with it was less than perfect), anyway, the game never interested me before that point... I was hooked pretty fast.
A while later I rented the N64 Version and setup a name for myself... I was looking for something "hip" sounding, and I took a lead from some of the joke names that me and friends of mine had come up with at times, kinda rapish type names.... took my first name (short version) and my last initial... the "mad" in "madphilb" is from something along the lines of having "mad skillz" or some nonsense like that (this all sounded alot better at 3am sitting alone in my bedroom).
Anyway...
I started using the "madphilb" more for some logins and such since the screen name I used to like to use (Mr3D) was far too often taken other places (the Mr3D thing came from my attachment to doing stuff in 3D years ago with AutoCAD, some really old DOS verions)....
So... that's the long sorted story of what my screen name is all about (ever notice I can't give a short answer to anything?)
