My little tribute / nod to a man called Skiz. Ran one of the coolest, forward looking, wigged out Dub / Hip-Hop record labels around, which unfortunately went out of business earlier this year. Also makes music as Spectre.
 

Dyne

Member
There's a few game characters with the name. Dyne from FFVII comes to mind, as well as the Lunar Dyne. Also Datadyne from Perfect Dark. I don't know, I just thought it sounded neat.

I eventually added on to it, making "Dynendal." Dyne's a common name, apparently. So Dyne's first priority, and if I have to, Dynendal. No Dyne was taken here, though.

i never knew of any of the other Dynes, but it was the currency in Panzer Dragoon Saga, named after one of the people in the localization team IIRC.

Cool! I learn something new every day.
 

AniHawk

Tobias is a character from the book series, Animorphs. He's a guy who gets trapped in the form of a red-tailed hawk. Hence, AniHawk.
 
Red = colour of hair plus last 3 letters of my first name
Dolphin = Development name for GameCube.

Wanted to change my name several times but decided not to as it shows how long I've been posting on forums! My first forum was Nintendo Next which was later named Nintendo Nation. I think...

I remember you at NN. Damn, that was a long time ago.

Did you guy by the same nickname?

I only remember a handful of ppl from there.

NGAMER
Fei
Reno
MASB
WindyMan00

I think Reno posts here and I know I've seen MASB.

WindyMan works at PlanetGameCube. I remember how proud he was that he updated the Letters/Q+A section every day for a year or something! And NGAMER. He was the ultimate in annoying fanboys.
 
Completely made up by me one night. Loved it, no one else I've ever seen on the net uses it. 'Cept for this one time I saw someone using it, but I think they ripped it from me.
 
Despite what everybody on XBox Live and the internet thinks, my nickname has nothing to do with my work ethic. Mike is obviously my first name, but the 'Works' aspect of the moniker subscribes to the same category as 'Entertainment', 'Productions', 'Studios', etc. There are few businesses that end in Works. You see MGM Entertainment, not MGM Works. But there are a few.

When I was considering what I would name my business one day a year or two ago, I was browsing through the aforementioned titles, saw 'Works', considered 'Orlando Works'. I used that as my nickname on Something Awful for a year or so. Then I typed 'Mike Works' one day, and it just looked better.

So yeah. I have jobs, but it has nothing to do with that. And now you know.

Haha, man, that brings back memories. My name at NN was Enlimn, I think. I always used to argue with Fei and Reno about Square and Final Final Fantasy.
 

Memles

Member
Childhood friend took my real first name, took out "y", added "em", and then used it constantly. Then, it became "Mlems" we he got tired of two syllables. And then, others began to use "Mizzle", which then caught on fairly widely.

I keep Memles for some things, use the others for others.
 
A female acquaintance said I "looked like an Alex." I created the last name to complete the pseudonym. I'll spare you why I think it's slightly amusing.
 

DCX

DCX
DCX= Dreamcast Extreme. Used to be a DC site back in the day, the site folded but a forum was put up as a tribute. The forum spawned a clan and the rest is history. Before DCX i had DC Prophet which was a name i used at an early DC site called Dreamden.

Used to play a MUD called Sojourn, later became Duris. Had a few chartacters, but my favorite was a halfing thief named Teflar. Been using that name online since.

Halfing thieves rock :D

Scoot, pictured at left was a character in my town in Animal Crossing, he was the first character I taught "what's going down my DELETED?" or "Hey, what's going down XXXboy?" too.

Then he left and moved into my friend's town. The fucker.

Darrien, for years I assumed that was just your name.

My world is now upside-down.

EDIT: Unless, um, that's what you meant. :/

It is my name, and the first initial of my last name. ;)
