He's not in this thread so I'm going to embarrass him personally but....

@Thing on a Spring

Because I use to have and love that game as a kid. I never could beat it and it was your traditional impossible-to-complete Commodore 64 games.

Thing On a Spring brings back so many memories of my childhood.

However, because of its originality and it's repetitive but good music, it should be considered for a remake along with the likes of Cauldron, Black Magic and The Last Ninja.

I mean Trolls and Tribulations got a remake so why not?

You rang?

Cryptek knows what's up. A classic from the days of having to load a cassette tape for 10 minutes before the game started. Thing on a Spring had the added bonus of having to load every single screen. But that Rob Hubbard, boy. Made some of the finest music to be found on the C64.

My avatar is from one of my favourite mangas, Goodnight Punpun. Punpun and his family are all portrayed as crudely drawn cartoon birds. It's a slice of life manga that follows a young boy called Punpun from elementary school to around 22 years old. It goes places and gets pretty dark. It also has fantastic artwork made from photos taken by the mangaka, Inio Asano which he then digitally manipulates and illustrates over to make the images appear hand drawn. I recommend it.

Its so funny there is a city that is the rival of my hometown. Ghetto ass city called Wilmington. As soon as Nationals were created people in Wilmington started wearing that W hat lol. Whenever Id see someone wearing it id say " you a nationals fan?" Always with a response "fuck nationals, wilmington homie" or something like that lol. I just always assumed that W was just ripped off from Walgreens haha.

How can I hate you for everyone assuming that a W is for the winners of the 2019 World Series... The Washington Nationals. I appreciate the masses first thought of being about the team.

I like Whitesnake. Both the stand from JJBA and the IRL band it's named after.

My current PFP is from JJBA, it is main character Jotaro Kujo under the effects of Whitesnake (CDs coming out of his face).

I chose it randomly because I needed a new username; The username I often used to use was difficult to pronounce and contained a hint to my IRL identity.

Zog is one of the final bosses in the first Breath of Fire game. This game blew my mind when I played it back in the early 90's. It just did everything right, the graphics, the battle system and even the grinding were all done right IMO.

Most people like the second one better but they really nerfed the dragon powers in that game.

I've been using the "kreen" username on basically every forum I've been on since the dawn of the Internet, way back in 1996 or something, It comes from an obscure Paul McCartney song, "Kreen-Akrore". I guess I was listening to that particular song when I was first asked, on some Geocities site, to come up with a username in order to join the discussion.

I like to destroy things :ROFLMAO:
I used to do demolition work for a little while and it just stuck.
Avatar is just a reminder of my Greek heritage, was born and grew up there and in our very small poor little village all the old timers used to tell us stories about how we are decedents of Alexander the Great ( yeah BS but a fun little story )
Just combined the two.

Excuse me, did you just say that you're proud of your European heritage?

I have used this username online for over 20 years. I was just a kid playing Red Alert 2 and had to pick a username to play online. (We just got internet in the house for the first time, I was so stoked) My nickname in real life is 'Tilly' (got it playing on a football team, it makes no sense but stuck) and bot because..well I was online. The 8 was an accident. Dunno? It just got entered and I couldnt go back :p

My avatar is a character from an N64 game I loved called 'Mace the Dark Age' ( its not a very well known or well rated game but ...nostalgia.. you know yourself) the character is creatively called 'The Executioner' no other meaning behind it other then I think he looks cool.

Many, many years ago. In a discussion with a very, very hardcore Catholic dude, I asked some questions he didn't like. He went on and kept calling me godless. But always said it in a really dumb way that sounded like "gaaawdless".

This led to regawdless.

On GAF I noticed the the reactions list seemed to feature a list of names, with the coveted "and 3 others", as in 3 more people have reacted that wasn't shown, and it was more often then not, 3 extra. So being the troll I am, when GAF finally allowed open emails, it's what I picked to end my almost decade long lurker status. It's led to some funny private messages, like "damn, I thought 12 people liked my post until I clicked on it and it was just 9 plus you!" My profile picture is of DarkSydePhil, a prolific video game streamer and an eternal lolcow e-begging scammer that I've hate followed for the last 5 years. More specifically, the picture is of him masterbating on livestream when he thought his camera was turned off.

Beaten by a magnificent bastard.

What's your origin story? Explain your username and avatar.

My first car was a 1995 Ford EF Falcon (It's an Australian car for those going "wtf is that?"). For a while my online alias was "Falcon". But I found that was too common, so I shortened it to just "Falcs". As for my Mario avatar.. I think most people don't realise but it's actually Mario with 3...
