Stupid names and silly pictures.

[Ebrahim]

I have over the past 16 bajillion years spent much time thinking about peoples strange names and avatars. I have decided therefore to ask everyone to chip in and say what they're name represents if anything and why they chose that picture. Really the only reason I want to do this is because What the fuck does wilbefast mean?

I mean yes Its Will Be Fast. But thats a kind of catchphrase not a username. And the blue devil thing Waddafuckizdatshiz?!

Just realised how rude that sounds. sorry Will

Anyway feel free to pitch in. I'll go first

Ebrahim :
Username : Well, its my name...
Picture : it was originally a Ninja for my username Ninjaface which I use on Steam. However being this a website mainly devoted to ninja rabbits I thought thought the ears were a given.

As for the avatar, mine portraits the main character from an Anime called Midori no Hibi (Days of Green, Green Days)

[Grayswandir]

name: Grayswandir - Its a sword. A magical sword. From a book.

avatar(s):
- Its a girl. From a game in development.
- Its another girl. From the same game as above.
- Headphones are awesome.
- This is my expression when I read what most of you write.
- Its a mouth. Of a girl.
- Its Red Riding Hood. Holding her head.
- Red RIding Hood is awesome.
- This one never actually fit in the proper avatar size. But I tried to get it to work multiple times.
- Honestly, one of my favorites. Stare at it intently.


I've used more avatars than this over the years I've been here, but I can't find them all anymore.

It's not an interesting story, but what the hell, here goes...

When using the multiplayer function of a certain open source, turn-based strategy game, I was prompted to enter a screen name. Given the nature of the game, I decided to name myself after a general. The obvious choice was something like Alexander or Napoleon, but they were a bit too obvious. So I used the name of a successful Russian WWII commander instead, one Field Marshal Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov. And thus the online me was born.

Incidentally, naming myself after a successful general did not make me any better at strategy games. Pity.

As for the avatar, it's a severely cropped version of this:

It's an orc. I feel that it accurately represents my appearance and personality. That is to say, it is ugly and grumpy.

My name is my name for a reason...Learn the reason, and heed my warning, respect him, or he shall castrate you!

My image is the current image due to my still ongoing obsession with Mass Effect.

I did change my image for a very short time to a weeping angel, but I just didn't think it looked right, so I changed it back to the Salarian within the hour.

[Zhukov]

Oh, by the way, I'm 90% sure that Wilbefast's avatar is the Cheshire Cat character from a game called American McGee's Alice.

[zoidberg rules]

I've seen videos of that game...Terrifying...

Guu eats people...
but actually, its Sakura, from Card Captor Sakura...a very deranged version. Go read more Clone-Manga.

Well, then I have news for you.

(Be sure to watch the trailer. You'll like it.)

[Freshbite]

That trailer is really cute. Alice seems to be an adorable little girl.

I found my pic on another forum. It was a weird pics thread. Then I drew a pink beard on it.

[Ebrahim]

Really? Cause I totally thought that Washing machine had grown a pink fungal infection.

I made my name up back in 2001 ... I was about 14, needless to say I regret the name >_> ...
