Someone on Kongregate gave me this nickname. Don't know why :P But it sort of stuck.

I've been playing as 300#Samoan for over 5 years now. It comes from the movie/book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas when Raoul Duke describes his traveling companion and attorney Dr. Gonzo as a 300-pound Samoan.

Messing about to an instrumental with a mate:

"Kicking lyrical miracles/
man, this absurd gift/
Master of my craft/
so you can call me a 'word smith'"

Wordsmith sorta stuck, I use it everywhere now. In the past I was Chimpyacee, I needed an account to play Yahoo pool, my nickname was Chimp. It started as a variant of"chimp-you-see?", which someone later pointed out was also chimpyACEe.

My original handle was 'WhiteFlagofWar' after a 'Branniganism' from Futurama I thought sounded good. While I have used that on virtually every message board or online game I can since about 2003, I got bored with it by the time I signed up for this so changed Flag to Fang. Also something to do with the fact that I like wolves and moonlight motifs.

Neznajko is the main character in a russian children's book "Priklyucheniya Neznajki i ego druzej" (The Adventures of Neznaika and His Friends) by Nikolay Nosov. His name is Neznaika, but he is called Neznajko in my language.

Mine is the combination of two things:
The first, "Skywolf", is something that came out of a stupid discussion with a friend about Star Fox, and became something I use very commonly as a name in video games today.
The "09" comes from when I was an active member of an online squadron/clan for a freeware flight sim, with my plane's tail-number being "09". However, I only add "09" to "Skywolf" if the website/forum/etc. I'm signing up for won't simply accept "Skywolf" (as in the case of this place and Steam).

I wanted a word related to electricity with a good sounding set of numbers to take place of a last name. March 30th is my B-day and three thirty has a nice ring to it.

Well I like Flap Jacks, and I thought it would be kinda boring, so I added numbers to spice it up.
Sorry no interesting fable that involves dragon fighting and midget wrestling.

I've heard a lot of people always ask who did something, then someone always says" It was That Guy. " and points to who did it.

I thought that my user name would be kind of funny.

I just made it up one day after messing around with words. Then I added the "777" because I like the number 7. It is a good number.

Yeah, for my username I had a few choices in mind (Havok, Reaper, Black Death,etc.) but when I checked their availibility I realized that I did not what to have a ton of numbers at the end of my name so instead I racked my brain for other more "unique" possibilities and I came upp with my mutant abberation aka book characters (misspelled book characters that is)

Favorite Sonic the Hedgehog character: Knuckles

Knux = short for Knuckles

But I don't want to be Knuckles, I want to be the new improved sequel to Knuckles. Thus: Knux2.

At least, that was my original thought when I came up with this username back when I was 13. lol. I just decided to stick with the username since so many of my highschool and college buddies still know me as Knux2.

I'm a big Resident Evil fan...Tyrants are awesome, Ganados are awesome...hence the name.

Besides, TyrantNemesis didn't flow too well and TyrantAlexia made me seem like a woman. Which I am not, for clarification.

"The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T.S. Eliot. A great poem by a great man, and it deserves to be honored in some way. Plus, it brings a touch of class to the forums, as opposed to "fanboi91" or "StillAlive123".

a few of my friends found a picture of Vladimir Lennin as a teenager, and he looks a lot like me, hence Vlad. Vlad Tepes was the cooler Vlad in history. Tepes means "the impaler", hence vladtehimpaler.

I was playing Warcraft III with some friends when I was still in high school and tried to type "THEMANWHOISGOINGTOKILLYOUALL." But it didn't fit. And from that, THEMANWHOIS was born.

Funny part is I've been using the Dark part of my name since I started to use the computer, Dark-this, dark-that. Panda came recently when I had a friend jokingly said that I was like a Panda, gentle and the like for the most pasert. the XIII came just because DarkPanda was being used on the Xbox live, and I figured it was a fun enough Roman numeral :3

When I tried out my friends Pokémon Mystery Dungeon-game I noticed that his home-base was called Zizzolo.
My name is Simon and I couldn't help but feel a little similarity with my name to that name.
So i changed it a bit and I've used this name for every forum or place that requires a username.

Something that I found out later was that the game wasn't my friend's. It belonged to another guy also named Simon, so I kinda got why it sounded to similar to my name to be a coincidence.

Well mine actually is an animal (Phycodurus eques) and once a good friend of mine back in the prehistoric times when i was in school pointed at a picture and said "Thats you!" (well i dont really look like that ;) its more the name "Rag-Fish" which was fitting to my punk clothes back then)it was a boring biology class and we had nothing better to do then comparing the people around us wiht the pictures in the book. Kinda lame story but it stuck.
