Why did you choose your Nickname?

You know, I spent the better part of an afternoon at work trying to do just that, without any success. I'm largely ignorant modifying pictures for internet use. If anyone has some tips, I'll give it another go.

Here you go Prince Planet.

Sweet. Thanks, K3V.

Well, a few years ago, I was thinking of that episode of The Simpsons where Homer becomes friends with Flanders. Flanders gives Homer a Nacho Hat at a football game and I had that in my mind for a while for some reason. I signed up for Yahoo Messenger a few days later and decided to make nacho_hat42 my name, instead of my usual UnknownBlade(which is really pretty lame sounding, looking back on it. Hence why I don't use it anymore.) I used UnknownBlade on the GameGo! board and for a while here. Eventually, I just decided to change to NachoHat and that's that.

[Lordmrw]

It was a nickname that a friend of mine came up with back when I started playing Diablo in 1996. The lord part came from numerous rpgs and books we read, and the Mr.W part came from the fact that most teachers in school call you MR.______, your last name. So he combined the two and that's all she wrote. I either go by this or my real name, Sayewonn, when registering on message boards.

The Cynical Sphere is the name of a song, and other than my obvious cynicism there's no real significance to the name.

Don't know why, but for some reason I thought the name came from the Marvel Comics character. Silly me.

I think we know where the blood part of the name came from now.

Many years ago (must be about 7 by now), I was really into Dragon Ball and so it was a no-brainer. More recently, I've thought about changing it a few times, but since most people online know me by the name, I just kinda stuck by it.
