Niku and Vili. Now I have a third dog called Nanna.
I live in Finland if you wonder about the names.

Shit, I thought your name spawned from One Piece. Anyone that watches it (NOT English version) knows Luffy always craves niku (meat). So I thought it was meat villain.

D. Gibb - Gibbatizer nothing special. But apparently there's this weird cartoon where the main character claims "stop gibbatizing me" whatever that means. Was weird to find that out though after already creating the name...

Speed is the key.

I´m kind of a predator addict and "Yautja" is Predator in their own language.

I love YaBB 1G - SP1!

It came from my middle name Bartholamue, and a little from FF5.

Isn't it cute?

Too many variations on the name "Metroid" were taken on the first online game I played (Dark Forces 2 I believe.), so I picked this.

Wouldn't that be more like "It came from FF5, and a little from my middle name Bartholamue"? Wink

I suppose, but I started using Bartholamue on the forum before this one. It's just a shorter variation.

I came up with this nick about 5 years ago. I didn't really think too much on it since I was just using it to post on a forum maybe a couple times to get some info. I thought Snowball sounded.. meh.. so I went with ballofsnow. Yeah not that much better. Somehow the nick stuck with me.

Lol. Lots of people look directly at my name, and still spell it "Missle". It seems as though "i"s are invisible if a word sounds good without it :-/

Recently I tried to find a new nickname since i got a bit unhappy with -think.circle-
It's just not really a name

But anyway I can tell you how I got to that. One day I just had the (stupid?) idea that it would be cool to use a geometric shape as name. And circle sounded best. So thats where that part comes from.
But I wanted a seccond part.
The first thing that came to my mind was: think
A friend of mine has a blackboard in his room where he sometimes paints strange stuff when drunk Smiley

He once marked one corner as "Denkeck" which is german for think-corner
I thought -think.circle- was cool because of the ... thinking in circles...

Oh well
I decided to go back to my nickname I used before.
Radon
Thats actually a radioactive gas. That fits better to my alltime favorite game half-life (I later discovered that the name actually appears on the background of the main menu). And it suits better as a name. And its short (=good)

EDIT: I always wondered if the nick Radix has anything to do with the Radix-Sort-algorithm Smiley

Probably just a coincidence

OxIN

2006-01-29 02:01:07 pm

NO I WILL NOT MAKE OUT WITH YOU!

OxIN holds a funny story from my stupid years. I was nicknamed "Ox" because I'm one of the most stubborn people ever, and according to people I have a very ox-like behavior. (whatever that is) Anyways, I'm at a friend's house with a few other guys, and most everyone is bored out of their minds. So we get the bright idea of playing with lighter fluid. Everyone's having fun, but me, never having even played with lighter fluid before, sprayed a bit too much. And I then lit my shirt on fire. Not a small flame, but a full on fireBLAST. Everyone in the room panicked to hell, and one of the guys ran outside of the room yelling downstairs OX IS ON FIRE, OX IS ON FIRE? OH SHIT! Of course, as soon as the lighter fluid burned out, the fire pretty much went out as well, not to mention I was droppin' and rollin' like a madman fearing for my life. OxIN just came from OX IS ON FIRE! but shorthanded. In the RARE occasion OxIN is taken, I go by Oxman.

a girl i knew in 8th grade started calling me nate, and i couldn't tell her to stop (her being zomg a girl and all), but it did prove useful on irc, where a short nick is a blessing, and that's probably why it stuck.

If I remember right, Radix -name is based to some game he played. And at some Quake-video his name is "Lord Of Radix". Correct me If I'm wrong.

My name, Acxy500 (aint that the stupidest and most annoying name ever?) comes simply from Halo 2.
In first halo, I used name |Map-X|, (which is better for my opinion) and I was pretty happy with that name. Actually I'm recistered to High speed halo with it (not anymore! Now I'm '|MythiC|' (cool hugh?).

When I got Halo 2, I tought that It'd be nice to have a name with numbers in it. First number that came into my mind was 500 (don't know why). I was so tired after thinking the other part of my name for like 15 minutes, so I decided to shut my eyes and make something random up.

First it was '500acxy', but I tought that was just stupid, so I turned it around. Acxy500 it is.

Wow, it's been awhile since this one came up. Well my name went through a few variations before I settled (and I'm still suprised I didn't get yelled at for that). But I got it off a box actually. A Christmas decoration box. I just thought it would make a cool name for a band (that or Bad Mayonaise (I don't know why)).

My name came from school. People used to make fun of me by calling me Lambchop, but, eventually it stuck and now even some of my teachers call me that. (Hell, a lot of people know me as Lambchop and don't even know my first name.)

go the mighty swans

Deleted my last post as I discovered i could change my name.

Beanshaker is just something my friend made up. We were out shopping and we were looking for a parking space, and some clownshoes was just strolling through the middle of the carpark. He then proceded to walk in front of our car real slow. My friend wasn't too impressed so he rolled down the window and yelled, "Get out of the f****** way, you beanshaker!!" This was hilarious at the time, but then my friend decided it would be great if he started calling me a beanshaker. It stuck.

I was into hex editing THPS2 to edit trick names and animations (for the PC), that's the first part. The second was just my addiction to rap (a temporary one, mind you). I've since grown into other habits; I no longer use a hex editor for anything, really, and I don't much like rap. But I used it so much in the past that it kinda just 'became' me. And it's better than Baily51 IMO, which was my old username before that >_>
