[esupin]

Hey- I happen to still play my Dreamcast. I plan on getting GBA SP soon once it dips under $99.99.

[Spazzbite]

Um.. I THINK it was because a good friend of mine called me a spazz when I was in a bad mood, and I guess I took offense to it, so I bit him. Then I thought "spazz.. bite.. spazzbite... oh cool!"

Then I saw CKY2K =\ Luckily my nickname uses two Z's

[GuidoHunter]

Dude. GuidoHunter has won the thread.

Hooray! But for which reference?

Either way, I think esupin has truly won the thread by getting his name from a Jet Set Radio tag. I am very impressed. Or jewpin with "Felix J. Awesome".

Regardless, zajac lost hardcore with his Dreamcast comment...

Actually, it was Jet Grind. I have never played Jet Set, as the newest hardware I have is a Dreamcast.

[RobbyZero]

Robby (my name) Zero (sounded cool)

[Afrobean]

My username has loads of importance. Back in fifth grade we thought it would be a good idea to form a gang. This gang however was fighting on the side of good... but still using gang tactics. The name of the gang was Lethal Beans and everyone in the gang had a bean name of some kind. I got AfroBean, because my hair used to fluff out and people thought it looked like an afro. Back to the gang thing: it didn't last long; within a few months of inception, we were forced to disband by the administrators of the school. About a year and a half ago, I decided to recreate the Lethal Beans as a skate team, but that fell apart quickly. That is when I started using Afrobean as my internet handle.

On a side note, I thought of making this same exact thread, but I was just plain too lazy to do it.

[Tsuguri]

A looooong time ago, when I started playing Frequency, I made the name Sword, because I have a scar on my left shin that is shaped like a small sword. Then, before I went online with Freq, I decided to add DJ in front of it, hence making it DJ Sword. Since I was (am) rather good at playing AND mixing, the name quickly became recognized and heard of. Well, when I was online, people often just called me Sword if they knew me at all, because internet people are like that. Then, I got into DDR. I wanted to keep my name, but DJ Sword didn't sound right on a game that had absolutely nothing to do with making music, so it became just "Sword".

When I cam to FFR, I tried registering the name Sword, but it said it was already taken, which looking now, it's not. o_O Anyways, I had recently asked my asian friend what "Sword" was in japanese. He told me it was Tsuguri. I now know of the sword-play arcade game Tsurugi, which I'm guessing is the actual translation, but I'm not really sure. If Tsuguri is the real one, then cool. If Tsurugi is, then I have my own little twist on it. Anyways, it actually stuck, and I've used that more often for registering nowadays.

I also made up the name Pasta when I purchased my first Initial D liscense, because that's what my hand smelled like at the time. I've also used that for various things online.

On a side note, I've had the same AIM name, OnyxSnow44, since I had old AOL 3.0 on a Windows 3.1 system, all those years ago.

[Kefit]

Five or six years ago I needed a name for a quickling on Lensmoor (a MUD). So I closed my eyes, typed five random keys, and rearranged what I got to form Kefit. I really liked the name, so it kind of stuck. Now I use if for all social things I do online, from message boards to online gaming.

I use the name geoff42 (first name + 42, the best number ever) for everything I do online that isn't social in nature (accounts for ordering stuff, etc.).

The only other name I have used is Silaria (my stock female character name), which just popped into my head when I was naming a female wood elf in Everquest back in 1999.

My aim name is just Kefit + 42, since some bastard had already stolen Kefit ;_;

Jet Set Radio is the Japanese version of Jet Grind Radio (no Future in either). I thought Jet Set sounded better than Jet Grind, so that's what I call it.
