Actually discovered Samus and the world of Metroid via the original Super Smash Bros., She was my main and got me looking into Metroid games(omg Super is godly!). Anyway I discovered the world first smash bros. community, Smash World, and decided that Samus02j and all the other usernames like that were boring names and decided on Metroid Killer. Used the name ever since.

My name is David and I smoke. A lot.

My XBL and PSN name is SmokiestDave and I originally tried to register that on GAF but it was taken (likely by me after a forgotten application). Now I wish I could change the others to SmokyDave.

I got mine from a Metal Gear name generator. It's down now but the way it works is that you enter your real name and then it gives you your MGS codename.

Oh shit, so I am!

Do you fancy a job as my short term memory? I told you I smoked a lot!

Raziel: My brother, Melchiah, was made last, and therefore received the poorest portion of Kain’s gift. Although immortal, his soul could not sustain the flesh, which retained much of its previous human frailty. This weakness, it seemed, was passed on to his offspring. Their fragile skins barely contained the underlying decay.

Crystal Dynamics. Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. (Eidos Interactive). PlayStation. (August 16, 1999)

My favorite character from my favorite game.

The three character score table short of my forename - Bruce.

It also happens to be what close friends and family have come to know me by :D
 

Stahsky

A passionate embrace, a beautiful memory lingers.
I don't remember why I picked Eva, but it felt too short, so I just randomly tossed in plus and minus.

Wish I could change my name to fit the screenname I use everywhere. "Stahsky" (pronounced like Starsky. Stah-skee.)

That or my fake myspace account I made years ago under the rapper name "Burgersthehand."

I don't even use this name for anything anymore
 
From Norse mythology.

A winter so long and cold it kills off all mortal beings in the world.

Ragnarok occurs right after it.
 

dgenx

Made an agreement with another GAF member, refused to honor it because he was broke, but then had no problem continuing to buy video games.
back in 98 when Internet was new in Peru I came up with this nickname, cause I loved WWF's Dgeneration X

so the evolution was


DgenereXXX (I also liked porn) ----- DgenereX ------- Dgxxx----- Dgx----Dgenxxx---Dgenx----dgenx (fuck capitals)

My name is Nick, when I was younger I was a massive Nintendo fanboy so I thought Nicktendo was clever
it wasn't
. I tried to set up a hotmail account but the name was already taken to I added the year I was born at the end and there you go. It's stupid but I've had the same email since I was 13 so I've just kept it and use it for my Xbox live profile, PSN, everything. Just used to typing it in I suppose.

It's dircula spelled backwards!

No, it really isn't. I wasn't even thinking of Castlevania at the time. I just wanted something that wasn't 1 XX 3liteSnipez XX 1 and was just a plain ol' one word name.
 

Squeak

Member
Before I called myself Smalltalk-80 because it's my programming language of choice, because I was borne in 80, because most of what happens on forums is smalltalk and finally for the same reason the PL is called Smalltalk; IE. you can only pleasantly surprise with such as name.
So well, Squeak is the most current version of Smalltalk. And to that name applies the same reasons, apart from the 80 thing.
 

Sacha

Member
It's my first name. Occasionally people do lame jokes about it because Sacha is the name of Ash from Pokémon in France.
 
Well generally my stupidity knows no limits hmm. And some other things I guess.
As for the second part, no sorry I'm not nazi, just my initials.
 

eLGee

Member
My original username was Looking_Glass
Which turned into LG.
And then someone called me eLGee.

I though it looked nice.

It was night time when I made my account. I looked at a katana in my room, then added 88 for HH

I went through a phase where I was fascinated by cryptids and weird animals (still am, in a way, though not as much). So I chose Cryptozoologist.

These nuts spelled backwards without the space.
I really wanted to use "thesenuts", but I wasn't sure if that would have been acceptable here :lol :lol So I decided to spell it backwards :D
