The Story behind the Name

[outphase]

The combination of TaQ and dj TAKA from Beatmania IIDX

 

[Opium]

From my Wiki page:

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)

Especially for RAM (as he's an avid Boro supporter

):

BORO PAT!




Edit: Nooooo Why are my videos not showing

 

[nintendofreak]

I collect Nintendo stuff. Mostly old stuff. NES, SNES, N64... Powergloves, powerpads, light guns, NES wireless remotes, Super Scope, Super Gameboy...

Sooo my friends would call me the "nintendofreak"... Vua-la! (just like its spelled

)

 

[Shinji]

The combination of TaQ and dj TAKA from Beatmania IIDX

And for tha sir, I love you

Shinji....from N.G.E. woulda used my other online names ("magicalsleeper" or "d7" [lower case always]) but I felt it was time for a change.

BTW outphase, if you ever hang out around anything to do with ddr, look for d7 or my buddy neovanglist (I dont remember his other alias)

 

[Mace]

Back when I was like 10 (some 9 years ago) I thought Mace would be a cool name, and it's decent enough that I've stuck with it.

 

[FAST6191]

Originally it was a password, no idea where FAST came from but 6191 is what you get if you could round the letters on your fingers (minus the last 0 as it was an 8 letter deal).

 

[xenon]

The concept of foreign, alien.

By the way, what's the story behind this site's name? Why temp?

[shaunj66]

By the way, what's the story behind this site's name? Why temp?

http://wiki.gbatemp.net/index.php/The_Name_of_GBAtemp

As for my name; it ain't rocket science. My original web name was different, and was generated using one of those Hotmail/Yahoo username creators which slapped the 66 on the end. Years later I changed the first portion of my username but kept the "66" on the end for some reason.

I've kept it ever since... No need to change IMO.

 

[xalphax]

back when i was even younger, alpha was taken on almost every site i went, so i framed it in x

and xalphax was created, was never taken on sites or in irc so i stuck with it

 

[ZAFDeltaForce]

ZAF is basically a name of some military ogranization I randomly created when I was young, moronic and addicted to war. Delta Force is like a branch of the ZAF, so there we have it. I've been using it for forum nicks and stuff ever since.

Of course, for stuff like the DS where ZAFDeltaForce is too long, I use the alternative ZAFMarine.

EDIT: Added 'is' between Force and Like.

 

[Issac]

Kudos for the one who can say mine

 

[Intruder]

I thought that this name was writtent Isaac so I'm a bit confused now....
Maybe you wrote it wrong somewere and you liked it?

 

[Issac]

You're close Intruder... But it was a question in the "know your temps" session

so it's answered there... and I'll post it here too:

first it was LSSSCRULES as in Lunar silver star story complete rules.... then IRC shortened my name to lsssc.. and some dude asked if i spelt it wrong, cause he thought the l was a capital i... and said "isn't your name issac?".. there it is.. i know it's spelled isaac.. but.... it's more fun this way

 

[Tdon]

I don't like the story behind my name, only that it features diablo.

I once called myself donut, just because food nicknames rock, don't know why, chalupa would agree. Then a friend of me asked if I wanted to play some diablo (1 mind you) over the internet. He told me I needed a more terrifying nickname, but I didn't want to get rid of 'donut'. Anyway, I slapped a terrible and an underscore in front of it and it has been like that ever since, although I mainly use abbreviations like: Terudon (wich I thought up doing WoW) Tdon, Teru or simply T.

So basically, I thank my nick to blizzard games

 

[roadbusta]

Back around the time when "the fast and the furious"(movie) and "need for speed underground"(ps2) came out, I went through this phase where I thought anything to do with cars was cool. SO, i created the name roadbusta. Road, because cars drive on roads; busta, because it sounded cool (back then).
I found that it was quite a unique name, so now I use it everywhere, as my online alias. (like Clarke Kent uses the name Superman... sort of)

 

[haohmaru6]

Back in the mid 90's, I purchased a used Neo Geo console and 6 games with it, for a bit more money than was a good idea :/. The reason was that at the time I was absolutely OBSESSED with Samurai Shodown II.
I played that game (level 8 only, trying to win on one credit every time,) for hours upon days upon weeks upon... well you get the idea. My favorite character was, you guessed it, Haohmaru.
It got to the point where my best friend bought me for my birthday a really stylish shirt with Haohmaru emblazoned on it.
I eventually came to the idea that because I played it so much I was the best Samurai Shodown II player in the world, and would like to prove it, but had no one to play with.
Then years later along comes Kaillera and suddenly I had people to play with, and found there were others as obsessed as me, although I still think I'm the most obsessed

.
Several "good" players depend on running at you and throwing, not weapon and move interaction which is what I obsessed with.
So with all this obsession being thrown around you would think the "6" has some special meaning right? Right?!?! RIGHT?!?!?! WRONG! Someone on GBATemp had taken Haohmaru, so I had to pick a random number to add to it!
I don't know how many people on here play on Kaillera, but the first person to figure out what name I play under on Kaillera wins a prize

.
(It'll never happen...)
