What's the story behind your username?

[Waffles]

Mine was given to me by a friend, after yet another round of back-and-forth, lighthearted trolling. She kinda just threw it in there and then convinced everyone to call me that, so I just adopted it and rolled with it.

A bit later I realized that I could score mad points with it on Scrabble, and that sorta sealed the deal XD

What about you?

 

[moonbits]

I have gone by many names but I stuck with smilebits as a reference to the SEGA team responsible for JSRF/GunValkyrie. After that I changed it to moonbits since it sounded nicer.

 

[gerorisuto]

Gerorisuto is the title of my favorite Shozin Fukui short film. I won't link it because I think it is against the forum rules but you can look it up on YouTube if you are interested.

 

[dejiko]

dejiko is dejiko because dejiko is dejiko, nyo! >:3

 

[Inkingsama]

I had to make an account in a psp homebrew forum to access some files and around that time i was into splatoon so when it was time to choose a username i wrote "inklingsama" at first, but then thought that it sounded kinda dumb so the L was deleted and here i am, using the same name for everything. The "sama" at the end was to add that extra weebiness to seal the deal.

 

[It's Thinking 2]

It's my idea for a slogan if Sega ever made a Dreamcast 2. It's got a double meaning. It's the sequel console and it's using the 2 as also the word "too" meaning also. Like this is also thinking. When you consider how much AI has evolved and improved over the years since the original Dreamcast was a thing, it makes even more sense today. You could say "It's still thinking", but that to me would be referring to the original Dreamcast and not the Dreamcast 2, like it's a mini console or something. My profile picture was made by someone online a while back, can't remember who made it, but i liked it. It's the classic Swirl with a big 2 in it. I remember brainstorming back in the 2000s and the 2010s about what the console would look like too. Basically a big flat box that would double as a DVD player with 4 USB ports for 4 controllers to be plugged into it at once for 4-player games. It would have had a menu like Gen 7 consoles with an online store and a pay to play arcade service. PSO (whatever version) would come pre installed on every unit and the first year you signed up would always be free. Sonic Adventure 3 would be the launch title for it and the pack in title as well.

 

[Shadowruls]

I was using the lego website when I was 13, and they changed their password format, and told everyone to make a new one. However the new format didn't allow for spaces, and my old one had a space, which couldn't be accepted to change the password. So I had to make a whole new account.

I accidentally misspelled my username and missed the "e" in "rules". Turns out it was for the best, as the username isn't ever taken anywhere, its all mine everywhere I go

 

[DunkeyKong]

Just like he said
"And I'm a goddammn donkey, for crying out loud."

 

[stealthRUSH]

Inspired by Japanese 'Engrish by blending two words together that are nonsensical. I first used it back in 2005 as my username on the PC game Rakion.

 

[TerquitelDes]

Just thought that "Terquitel" sound good, and then I add the "Des" cause i felt that was a little short.
Have no a meaning, I just like sonority.

 

[Velucian]

I've cycled through a few different usernames but I eventually settled on this one becuase I thought it sounded lyrical.

 

[Yukyon]

I was in the mexican equivalent of 7th grade, and my brother's bff recommended us an anime called "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" my brother didn't think much of it, but I was obsessed for a good while.
My favourite characters were Yuki Nagato and Kyon, so I became Yukyon online.

-I did use snaketrainer before that one online for a few years

 

[VampireLord1024]

VampireLord comes from the vampire lord characters in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim's Dawnguard DLC and the 1024 are some random numbers. I thought maybe I should use some kind of spookyish name online, since I wasn't sure what else to go with. I guess I could've always used Vampire Lord1024 with a space between the Vampire and Lord part. Ah well, maybe next time.

 

[Adrastia]

I've used it since 2000. I got it from mythology. There's also an asteroid with an alternate spelling. This spelling just seemed to flow better.

Sounds like an oldschool NES game too!

 

[Sayo]

I borrowed my name from Sayo-chan, one of two playable characters from the Kiki KaiKai series of

games, which is known as Pocky & Rocky in the west.

 

[Waffles]

I looove Pocky & Rocky.

Nice!

Ever play the GBA one with Becky?

Ever play the GBA one with Becky?

Yes that one is so cute! It's perfectly suited for playing on the go. A bit on the shorter side sure, but fun.

 

[Castiel]

Pretty clear if you know Supernatural, if not, well he's one of the main character from the show and my second favorite one.

 

[RetroLaw]

Add to come up with something for joining RGT, I was thinking "retro" since I was visiting Cdromance => RetroLo => RetroLaw.

I'm lazy.

 

[Shigeru_Miyamoto]

It's my actual name :^)

[Gorse]

Gorse, scientifically known as the Ulex flora family, is a variety of flowering plants common across Western Europe (mostly in the UK) and the Northeastern United States. It doesn't have any actual uses, but it's commonly used as a garnish in certain rustic dishes and little decorations.

...But, secretly, my username comes from the combination of Goose and Horse, made up on a whim when I was about 12 years old. Me and my friend were making accounts for something (I can't remember what), I thought up the name on the spot, and have been using it as a a nom de plume online since then. At the time, uncommon proper nouns were very popular as usernames on forums, so I was very happy with it. It's also generic enough that it doesn't lead back to me in any way, so nobody will ever know who I am behind the screen.
