Your user name?

[captain_nintendo]

What does your user name represent? Did you make it up or earn it?

Basically, whats the deal with it?


Mine is captain nintendo.
When I was younger, I remember watching the Nintendo power hour and they had a "Captain N".

That kind of stuck with me and since I like the NES, I just changed the N to Nintendo. That's pretty much the story there.

[m3talst0rm]

Well mine is from the NES Irem game Metal Storm.  I Realy like this game.  

When I was a kid I had more NES games than anyone else that I knew.  Although, it wasn't very many I kept up with what games were good and what sucked etc.

So, eventhough I thought I knew what all was out there that was good back in the day, I've realized that there are so many awesome games out there that I have never heard of during the NES' (or any other system's) heyday.    

Metal Storm was the first game that I found that was good shockingly awesome that I had never heard of.  

[Mezmoron]

My username....Well, it's not really a good story.  I had this name for my AOL IM when I was young.  Someone told me once (it's cheezy, be careful), that my singing voice was mezmerizing.  My brother on the otherhand, always called me a moron.  So, when choosing a username for AOL, I was getting frustrated with all the chosen names that I wanted, and thus was born Mezmoron.

Your story is funny Ken

[Jagdiesel]

Jagdiesel was the name I chose over at AtariAge back when I joined.  
I was collecting the Atari Jaguar, so thats where the Jag came from.  
Diesel was my nickname when I was a firefighter "damn, Mote hit that guy like a Mack truck.  That guy's a fucking diesel."

[atari_wizard]

I chose "atari_" because I grew up with the atari 2600. It was and still is my favorite system to play. I chose "_wizard" because, I used to watch The Masters of the Universe (He-man) religously. Orko was definitely my favorite character as he was a whacko magician/wizard that could never get his tricks right. So, I registered onto atari age as  "atari_wizard" & haven't looked back since.

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

Well when I joined, I joined as The Other Leon, which was kind of a running joke in the Leon family, and then I turned Maligned and then I got on a Godfather binge and was a Cor-Leon-e then I got on a Dirty Harry binge and here I am.

[Tynstar]

Tynstar was the evil character from this book.

I used that as my screen name on AIM almost 10 years ago and have used it ever since.

[Pop Culture Portal]

My name comes from an idea I had when I first heard about the internet way, way back when it was just starting to develop.  I thought, wouldn't it be great if there was a place that you could go on the internet for information on any topic you could think of?  Like a "portal" to a different area...kinda arranged like an encyclopedia...type in a topic name, hit enter, and you could get a list of different places (portals) you could go on the internet to get the information you needed.

Unfortunately, the people who invented Yahoo! and Google beat me to it.  My name is my albatros I wear around my neck, to remind me of what almost was...sigh.

Oh well...somebody pass me a smoke...

[NES-a-holic]

I did not come up with the name myself.We have game nights with colllegues no and then and they mostly like new gen stuff.
Corse i cant stop talking about my NES and games and so and one of them started calling me a nesaholic.
Always making jokes like '8 bit is the future bro', hehehe.Enfin i got used to the name and started using it as my nickname on forums.

[shaggy]

I got the nickname  way back in high school.  Everyone said I looked like Shaggy from Scooby-Doo.  Well the rest is history!!

[Cham Zord]

My head. Although, upon later discovery, I found out that a Zord was something from Power Rangers (ugh) and cham is a combination of ham and cheese. So it's like a ham and cheese robot, or something...

[Zimbacca]

In highschool everyone thought I was a freak (which I'm quite proud of) so I just kind of went with it.
