From my Wiki page:

GBAtemp Wiki said:

Despite popular belief Opium didn't choose his nickname based on a love for the drug opium but rather love for the word itself. This was inspired by memories of his childhood hero Tin Tin; a gun wielding, dog loving, drug busting reporter. The idea that every reporter carried a gun and rid the world of opium shipments didn't stick long as Opium is now a published journalist himself.

Warning, vulgar (yet hillarious) language. May appeal only to Brits.

TEESIDE TINTIN FTW!

(Note, may only appeal to Brits)

):

WeaponXxX · Jun 8, 2007

The origin of WeaponXxX

In the early 80's their was a huge race to create what is known as super solders. Canada had been working on their own project code naming their best success "WeaponX". The country of Greece had stolen these blueprints to make their own super soilders not knowing that the success of the project was due to DNA of the original test subject. When Greece injected their own test subject to the super serum the results were similar but at the same time very very different. When Greece's new super solder had exhumed all his energy he had an amazing recovery time of only 10 minutes before he was prepared to go back into battle. Canada's secret weapon had the ability to grow 6 individual weapons of destruction meanwhile Greece's secret weapon could only grow one nine inch weapon to defend himself. Greece's test subject seemed to also have somewhat of a high healing factor with the ability to smoke several cigars a day but still maintain high heart rate activity for several hours without stop. The healing factor also stopped the test subject from breaking bones or catching on fire...well rather...not be hurt when catching on fire. Canada's definitely had a weapon on their hands but Greece felt their test subject was a bit more "extreme" and code named their subject "WeaponXxX". Ironically both WeaponX and WeaponXxX have encountered the same NEGATIVE effects from undergoing the project which is inherit memory loss. To counter this negative effect WeaponXxX has chosen to use todays technology of camcorders to document his missions logs.

That about covers the origin of WeaponXxX

What I didn't tell anyone (see-cretssss):
I am balding, white middle-aged sexual deviant that visits Thailand frequently, irrationally attracted thighs. The country has a booming sex trade, and so, I am the ThaiGrocer. Oh yeah, I'm disgustingly overweight. Now don't tell anyone!

Don't lie to us Taylor!!!!

Edit:
Now to my origin.
I realy never had any Nicknames when I was at school, I mean 'Walter' is pretty generic, and in Spanish it is difficult for people to call you 'Walt'. But I actually adopted 'Walt' as a nickname and added 2097 (from playing GPolice) so I was Walt2097.

Then I saw the Matrix movie, and I realized really wanted a cool unique name, so I took my name and actually tried to swap the letter so my last name (Sandi, I came upwith Snaid, Sanid, blah).

Since I was in love with the letter W, I though it was cool to make a cool sound name, I added two Vs at the beginning and a z at the end (for coolness).

Then VVoltz was born (one funny thing is that at the beginning, I was pronouncing it as Woltz, like Wolf, then a friend of mine corrected me, ahh, those were the times where we played Unreal Tournament).
Most of my friends know me as VVoltz because, I use as my Internet name, I mean, I AM VVoltz!

Sorry, if it was too long.

Salamantis · Jun 8, 2007

In 5th grade, my favorite Pokemon was Salamence, and my class number was 502.

salamence + 502 = salamence502

Now it's the username I use everywhere.

sonicstorm · Jun 8, 2007

Genius! I would never have thought!

@RAM: You did get to see the videos though right? If you didn't just search youtube for 'Boro Pat' and 'Teeside TinTin' well worth watching.

Youkai · Jun 8, 2007

I allways used Majin and Demon and such cuz i liked demons long time ... than i watched Inu Yasha and saw that Youkai is also Demon ... i liked Youkai better than Majin and Bakemono and Demon ............

so i stuck to Youkai / XYoukaiX

Mewgia · Jun 9, 2007

Mew for Mewtwo, the rocksome Pokeman
gia for Lugia, another rocksome pokeman

I came up with it years ago when signing up for a My Nintendo account, and I've just used it ever since.

And, like Darkforce, I am absolutely vile at thinking up names V_V

skullstatue · Jun 9, 2007

Skullstatue is my brother's alias, .:Immoral::Eclipse:. is mine, but I don't use it unless I really need to.

Infinitus · Jun 9, 2007

Infinity ^ -1 = Infinitus
Infinity X -1 = Infinitus

It boggles the mind!

But on a more serious note, I have used "Infinity" as long as I could remember.
I was happy, since that user name was hardly ever taken.
Well, I became more involved with the internet, and I thought that I needed some binomial nomenclature* for a species name.
After much brainstorming, I had thought up of "Infinitus Algorithmae." Since that in itself is a wee long, I simply shortened it to a single, "given name" of Infinitus and a surname of "Algorithmae". Hence my current name on Tempnet, and many other places, "Infinitus".

*Yes, I have spelled that correctly on the first try. Don't ask how.
