Ahhh I always wondered what that was. I was scratching my head so hard I reached brain.

Actually my name is Richard, short for that is, Rick and everyone always called me Rick. I decided when I was 4 years old that since there is no 'K' in Richard I would not use it to spell 'Rick' so I adopted 'Ric' as my name. So there is the story of why I spell it that way. I wish I could have copyrighted it, now lots of people spell it that way, influenced solely by me, I am the origional inventor of this way of spelling my name, damn theives. I could not think of anything better when I origionally signed up at N'dose before coming to GT all those years ago.

We get a lot of "Rich" and "Dicks" shortened from Richard here in the States. I wonder if the Rick thing is more common in Europe because I haven't heard of that much over here.

Haha oh man I remember when Weezer was good...middle school. Those were the days.

I have also used as a screen name for forums and online in the past:

Kamaro - The dancing guy from Zelda MM.
Gabora - The giant blacksmith in MM.
Cojiro - The blue cuccoo (chicken) in Zelda OOT. I still have this account registered on GT, I was gonna change my name once but decided not to.

And the one I have often thought about changing my GT name to, the one I use as what I call my 'computer game name' is Asmodeus.
I use Asmodeus a lot. I pretty much will forever now too.

So when you are online and/or playing games look out for 'Asmodeus' it could be me

There are lots of sources which this name could have come from. There are also lots of different things that say what Asmodeus means. The demon king - The God of Wrath and Vengence etc but I got it from an old book from the Redwall series. It was the name of an evil king, adder snake, that lived in a cave.

EDIT: I just remembered I used to use 'Kamaro' for playing Runescape, I used 'SlayingBlade' for this too.

What Ric said.

Yeah!

Hmm, honestly I don't know what exactly what inspired the name Germanator. I Like the word "germination" as a word and at the time "German" was stuck in my mind as well. And then it kind of sounds like "Terminator" but I only saw that movie a week ago, so that might have only had subtle influences. Anyway, it works in a few ways.

Cool story early bird! Mine is just my first name. That's how you spell it... Sorry that I don't have a cool story like early bird.

[Fyacin]

Fyacin is based off of some word for archer in norse or something, I took the word and changed some of the letters so it sound more like I wanted, and now I have no idea what the original word was.
I have also gone by Excelsior (was doing latin and liked it, though it's too generic) Mistidon (Cool enemy in FF9) Bloodred (It's a color, and sounds kind of like blood dread), and Fymbulvitur (My magey name if I need one, I like the way it sounds, plus it's great winter or something in Norse).

I love Mario.

[Soviet Stinger]

Well, back when I played Starcraft, I was in a top-end Diplo clan, Clan Soviet. Soviet was the prefix to all our names. I always kept it as a reminder of the first clan I ever seriously participated in.

Stinger draws from a lot of things really. Probably the biggest is back when I was playing Planetside in Darkskies, we flew formation and called quick names over vent. I was 'Stinger' since I would always bust in there, fire a salvo, and draw back out, then hit the same spot again. Stinger also stems from the fact that I spend most of my time snipan' in the vidja. And yes, the Hornet in my avatar is a direct reference.

PUT IT TOGETHER AND ITS SOVIET STINGER WOOO

[BlueFire]

Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The upper case L is my attempt to be cool back when I first made the screen name in the fifth grade. It just stuck when I signed up at NDose.

[Swan]

deejzguy - Old GT name, deejz was an old nickname in elementary school. And I have a penis.


Swan - Awesome character from the Warriors and I was pretty into it when I changed it.


Wooden Pint - When trying to figure out a Gamertag tried a bunch of stuff, Mr. Krinkle(which I fucking love), Korpiklaani and other random stuff...then remembered awesome song by Korpiklaani and went with that

What is wrong with "Flan"? (spelled that way) It is delicious.

I have been a big fan of Farscape for years and am a gamer so I combined my love of farscape and games into a username. (Dargo is a farscape character)
