      My username is the main protagonist from the Samurai X series, my all-time favorite anime. I saw it several years ago and I've used it ever since for my gaming handles.

      For graphic work, though, I go by Retribution. It's easier to pronounce, plus, I don't get weird messages in japanese from others!

        CarbonFire is an amalgamation of several different screen names I've had in the past.

        My original screen name when I started playing MP games was Firetree. Fire being both cool and related to how my play would often come in bursts, and tree, well, because my last name is related to trees.

        Fast forward to more recently, I had stopped playing games for a while, thus I became Carbontree, as in the remnants of a tree once on fire, and for the area I lived in at the time (Carbon Canyon) (and Ashtree just didn't sound very appealing ). I dropped this as well because it's too close phonetically to "carpentry", which seemed to confuse people for some reason.

        Recently I've returned to gaming, thus that which was once just carbon has been lit anew. Plus, when I do go on a bit of a streak, Carb ON Fire seems appropriate

              The_Needle. Not my first name I've used in gaming. The Needle stands for my addiction to the games. The almost narcotic effect. Just one more round. Just one more level. Just one more map.

              The_Needle. It's just a little prick but you can never put it down...

                hmm let me see......*takes a deeeeeeeeeep breath*

                started off early years as Biohazard (dont know why i was like 8 or somthing and it sounded cool lol) used it on CB radio talking to my friend who lived just down the block. moved to chat rooms and games on the internet changed it to Biohaz, that started to get used by others in chat rooms and games. so i decided to use Kovu (the lion in lion king 2 that falls in love with Kiara, Simbas daughter) but as per usual that got used by others so i changed it to Kovie which i used for years and years and still do (also still use Xenitius or Xeni which came from a random name generator that i used back in the days of Diablo).

                anyway i had a soldier in 2142 called Kovie on Sirexs account before i got it and joined the lair and of course i forgot to get Sirex to delete Kovie so i could use it so i was thinking what could i use that is unique. i had just been watching Visionaries (a great cartoon from 1987) and i remembered one of the characters was called Cryotek (he was cool he turned into a bear lol) so i took that and changed Cryo to Krio to give it that little bit of a twist.

                and that is the long winded story of how i came up with my user name lol.

                little added note Pokemon rocks its such a cool game me and my friends still play it (yes yes you are all thinking how sad 21 year olds playing Pokemon how sad lol) and we have been playing it since the first game came out.

                  Mine kinda speaks for itself. I played football all through high school, and I was an offensive lineman. The coaches could never decide where they needed me to play, so they just had me learn everything. I figured this would qualify me as a stud, thus my name.

                      I am a cyclist. I had a bike about 5 years ago that I did alot of customizing to. I bought it plain jane and upgraded the component group the wheels the crank set and the handle bars. I upgraded the front fork from aluminium to Carbon-Fiber. My first ride out on the new fork we were practicing drafting and I didnt see a pot hole so along with about 5 others that were riding with us all hit it and went over the handle bars onto the road.....I cracked my brand new carbon fork....its was a $500 mistake that I really wish I had never made

                            Now we have had a lot of flooding in this area and there are still a lot of houses that have not been repaired. Must be the apocalypse.
