Meh, don't feel bad. Mine is a psychotic bovine from space. It just stands out is all.

I've been reading your name as Psychospacecrow this entire time, and probably would have continued to do so.

I recently rewatched The Prestige, one of my all time favorite movies. After watching, I wanted to learn more about Tesla. So I did some research and found out how awesome this guy was. Wardenclyffe was the name of a tower he built that was supposed to supply the world with free energy.

But he wasn't allowed to actually use it. DAMN YOU, EDISON!

In the past I used the same username wherever I went, but I decided to mix it up whenever I joined forums after someone decided to be a creeper and track me down using my previous username because it actually was pretty unique.

Around the time when I joined the old forums Reboot had finally come out on DVD and so I had it on my mind. Heck, I even named my guinea pig Scuzzy because of it! So, it seemed only natural to pick Hexadecimal because she's the best character on that show (shut up, yes she is).

Unfortunately, I'm forgetting that I'm getting old and now the cartoons I watched as a kid are becoming obscure, so most folks are clueless about Reboot.

If you have time, here's one of my favorite Hex episodes:

I would say I loved Reboot, but I did watch on it Toonami/CNX. Along with those other CGI shows like Max Steel(which blew my mind with the graphics(PS1 era)) and Beast Wars.

A bracket was out of place. It's good now.

I don't know why, but in case anyone's interested, it's not a random series of letters. Have an amazing diagram that I promise I edited in Photoshop and not Paint:

Many years ago, during the PS2 era, a game called Ratchet: Deadlocked (Gladiator in UK, I think). This game had online capabilities. Somewhere in Wisconsin a young boy wanted to take advantage of said online capabilities. "What should I call myself?" the young boy asked himself.
He sat for what seemed like MINUTES! Eventually, he said to himself "I like xylophones." So this young boy took xylophone, changed the spelling and pronunciation a bit, and Zaliphone was born.

Minifig comes from the fact that back when World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King came out, I was looking for a name for my Gnome Death Knight. I couldn't find anything that really fit me as a personality. I saw a LEGO Minifig sitting on my desk, and had a serious nostalgia fit about how happy LEGO made me as a kid (and still do as an adult, because I collect them).. I tried Minifig. It stuck, and worked. Needless to say, I've been using variants of Minifig for the past five years. I really don't think I'll ever stop using it either because I'm credited in several games as my full name with Minifig as my nick name.. :) plus, it just fits me.

Dude is that SFxT, am just wondering?

It's actually a pretty funny story. The first time I ever registered a username, on ANY website, was on Nick.com back in 2002 or so. The rules said that my username had to consist of at least 3 characters, and since I didn't know what "characters" meant at the time, I assumed that I had to use the names of Nickelodeon characters. So I called myself Tim (= Timmy Turner) nold (= Hey Arnold) zim (= Invader Zim).

I quickly realized my mistake and never went by that username again until I got a PS3. I was going to call myself "SergeantLuke", like I usually did, but I was suddenly struck with the thought that that name was boring. So, conjuring up old memories, I went with Timnoldzim instead. This time, it stuck!

I'm half Mexican.

I like anime.

Boom.

have three users
PixelXenoKing- got that because the username i choose was already used and they offered this one
Deadlygunner18- i was into shooters at the time, Lucky number is 18
Darth Vekzel- Random

but these are names that are just there i have been 4 years thinking of a user that i will stick with
