I'm not Rorshach anymore

Kevin_Johnstone

No real drama, just wanted to drop the nickname.

I held onto the name for a decade, a couple years ago I planned to drop it when we shipped UT3 as that had a nice
sense of closure for me.

Mostly because due to Id making Quake a decade back, I got the chance to make UT3 now and with that behind me, I don't see any need to hold onto the nickname anymore.

So, hello!

I'm Kevin.

Rick Stirling

Well done mate!

pliang

Hello Kevin.

I guess everyone must come out eventually.

And awesome work on the UT3.

Forget the model database, we need a database of all the people who's changed their names over the years. Too many to keep track of who's who. Bah! At least you're starting at 1 post. Too often there's some new name that I've never seen before and somehow they already have a few hundred posts. So confusing.

rooster

well! congrats- and I personally would like to take this oportunity to say thanks for those several times you have helped me out, and even inspired me to take this whole career path. You were one of my main influences to take on this profession, and I'm happy to see you kicking arse . (I miss reading the journal though!)
(edit: drunken sentimenal ramble )

nacire

Hey Kevin! Yeah I've thought of dropping the whole handle thing as well. My real name is Forrest Crump though, so it tends to have more staying power than anything I could think of. Anywho, nice work on UT3 man.

"Kevin Johnstone's Journal" just doesn't have a ring to it :P

ElysiumGX

Nice to meet you Kevin. Welcome to Polycount. The kid in kindergarten yet?

I'll use my real name someday. I haven't grown into it yet.

Emil Mujanovic

Congrats on UT3, Kevin. I guess you'll always still be Rorshach to me in one way or another.

Kevin Albers

Grats on the cool new nickname!

JOHNNNNSTONNEEEEE

hey dude

Rob Galanakis

Here's to the soon to be renamed Johnstone inkblot test.

sonic

I think everyone is moving towards this. This is the only place I still have my "sonic" name because it has been that way on here since I was a wee lad. Now that I actually work and try to maintain a semi-professional image I go by Lee Harris everywhere.

bounchfx

yeah, totally. for me it just feels odd using my real name online. I guess I feel that once I get a job it will be different, at least at sites like these.

adam

Kevin, good to see you've done this. Been talking about it for some time now.

So - what's next?

Emil Mujanovic

Not to de-rail the thread, but I've always wondered why your surname is missing the two l's at the end, Adam.
I'd use my real name if it didn't suck so much balls!

sonic

Fuck it. I'm changing my real name and forum name to "The Sauce."

real names are for wussies.

Not the only one here...

Spark

Congrats on going with your real name which is at least easy to remember Kenneth....doh!:P Haha, congrats on the resent release of UT3 Kevin, and looking forward to what you guy's are working on next. But yeah, it's going to take a bit to see posts from you and put you to Rorshach to figure it out, a change name database is sounding like a great idea!

Renaud Galand

hehe, I feel less lonely now

MoP

Nice move Kevin

Might accidentally still call you Ror though...

Slainean

I would love to ditch my nick but I can't think of a new one I like. I don't like this one anymore, either.

My real name on the other hand is almost as unremarkable as John Smith, otherwise I'd use it.

hawken

I have a wallet by paul smith, make your name famous by posting good art and great crits, then you will be THE john smith

Joshua Stubbles

You are da man, stone of john.

cholden

Rorshach will always have a place in my heart

Long live Johnstone

Xenobond

omg memories! I am so cunfrused!

skankerzero

you should have just had a mod change your name on your old account.

okkun

wow, that image does bring back some memories. I even remember the match we played on DM6..

Gmanx

Damn - you should have waited until the Watchmen movie is released! Still - Nicely done Mr.Johnstone.

EarthQuake

You're just a noob to me now, mister 2 posts. Let that be a lesson to anyone who thinks they can just up and change their name after 10 years.

RazorBladder

What the... This is gonna take some getting used to, I've referred to you as Ror for like 7 years

A Milestone! Now what? Pimp some work baby!

pliang

Request title change for Kevin: (Null-QuakeLord).

gauss

like skanker said, if you want to hold on to your old account and do the name change that way, i'd be happy to oblige. but you'd still log in with your old l/p, so that might just be too traumatic for you

Dukester

Welcome to the real world, Kevin Johnstone.

Kevin_Johnstone

Gauss: Sure, go ahead

Cthogua

Thats interesting, I work with a guy whose first name is Johnstone.

Lee3dee

I prefer Macnulty

done and done, also updated your new email to the old account as well.
just log in with your old l/p and it'll display as Kevin Johnstone--this second account i gave an underscore since it won't allow duplicate names. cheers

alpha: another bites the dust, i know

TheHonorableHonky

I've changed too!

I've decided that jimmies_the_squirrel was getting really old, so i've changed.
Again.

also requesting a change on old account, if at all possible;
However i'd rather it be WholesaleHonky, as i've been using that lately

Jonas Ronnegard

i choosed to do so from the start, guessed i would grow out of my childish nicknames someday, and spare you all the change of name confusion, when im all popular here on polycount and so :P

Slum

oh god, jimmies, go away.

and you think your new nick is somehow an improvement over your sixth grade one?

HonkyPunch

Not really, but it doesn't have anything to do with squirrels and that's a step forward in my opinion.

Bah, nevermind.
