Why did you choose your Nickname?

Well... then you're a weirdo.

bbobb: You weren't a Bubble Bobble addict when you came up with your nick, were you?

Black Arts Viper is the villain in Metal Gear: Ghost Babel for the GBC. I'm a big fan of Metal Gear, and thought the nick sounded somewhat bad-ass. 'Nuff said.

What if


Was a

Surely, radness would ensue!! (Mine was another "Hey, I need a Diablo name" thing back in '96.)

Mine doesn't really have a great story behind it. Some odd years ago I found that the first two letters of my first name, my middle initial, and first two letters of my last name spelled Gecco. It's your typical self-appointed nickname. This was just before the Geico commercials and for a while it was cool but anytime I hear that joke I want to beat someone with a lead pipe.

IronPlant was a nickname for a charcter in a story I was writing. It was set in the future and electronics had become plant like. The character was a boy who in his youth had been fused with the stuff. this was like 6th or 7th grade

Ive kept it as its come to mean different things to me over time.

Well, imagine a chinese guy with downs syndrome trying to say "Andrew". I used this nick for a great deal of time, and I thought it would just be easier to keep it here. Currently, and for about a year or so, my usual nick is "Cracker" for some reason. I have absolutely no idea where that came from though.

This is a random badass name I came up with when I started playing Quake or some shit. I've outgrown it and I think its kinda dumb, but I didnt when I signed up for GG! in 2001... so Im still using it today. The one thing is that I prefer the capitalization I have now... Diffusionx looks cheesy to me, I much prefer it with all lower-cases.

Hey, we do agree on something.

"cigsthecat" comes from Cigarettes the Cat, a Spumco character of Weekend Pussy Hunt fame. I shortened it to avoid the obvious hell of typing "cigarettesthecat" in every time, and it just works better overall this way. I always thought that was a great fucking name for a cat character.

I'm a big fan of the Transformers.
