CS Darkstar?

Post by thecreech »

I was playing counter strike just last night when a guy named Darkstar joined the server. I tried to question him on who he was but he never answered me. I don't think that there could be another guy with that name. Anyone ever run into him on CS.

It is highly unlikely that its the same person. FYI there was a rather popular fan made mod called USS Darkstar for Half-Life.

It was kind of funny... a n00b posted on a message board with the username "Dark Star" and I said, "You wouldn't happen to be Robert Scott Anderson, would you?" and somebody said "OMFG, why are you spying on him!". :P

It's a give and take - the name is hardly trademarked by the guy (although I wouldn't put it past him to yell that everyone who uses it is trying to defame him in some way).

Myself, I've come across dozens of 'Darkstar' and Darkstar-related screen names in my time.

I'm sure someone said to me that "DarkStar" was a brand name for some skater related stuff or something....

Didn't someone, (Likely Einhander with OMFG and many explanation points in the title) post a link to a forum filled with people using the name Darkstar and variations of it once?
