    Er cause I like Jam and Tech? I don't know, a random word which popped in my mind at sign up. I sort of wish I called myself Arle at least that way Yakumo might spell it properly. :p

    The z in my nickname is from my last name (Zanolli), you don't have to think a lot about the killemall origin (...Metallica?)
    Also, the nickname I put on most of the games and some websites (GorTd Wääld Von Dààg) it's a little more complicated. GorTd is from a NES hack called Crappy Mario, where instead of World appears GorTd (the G and the T in a different font); Wääld has a similar origin. Where's Dààg from? It's from an extremely cheap drink called Dààg Cola.

    My last name. Simple and easy. Went by Cecil before that, from FFIV, needed help on the game back in the day and it stuck. Switched to Borman around FFXI time (online that is), and its just better.

    A random name that others have since either stolen or randomly created too, on other forum sites. I don't believe it has a meaning though.

    Mine comes from high school and an ex-girlfriend, she met my younger cousin who could only pronounce my name (Timothy) as Timfy. My girlfriend started calling me that to wind me up and at some point it adopted a 'w'.

    A year or so after that, MSN messenger was invented and I signed up to hotmail. Stumped for ideas I took the nickname and ran with it. It's been my online identity ever since and registered in countless forums, websites and services.

    I made my name here Mr. Casual because when I first joined here I didn't really consider myself "Hardcore", not as hardcore as some of the collectors here anyway, and it was such a small community back then I was probably one of the few people here who didn't really collect Dev Hardware and stuff, so I called myself that, and I use that name on several other sites ever since.

    Before that, my names were:

    Dhaos (main bad guy from Tales of Phantasia)
    Lunarex (Some evil monster I named for my dream game or whatever)
    Ghaleon (From Lunar)
    Eva01 (Evangelion)
    And I'm pretty sure I named myself Mog somewhere, too.

    I don't quite remember all of my screen names, but I was on a few forums before joining this site. A few of them are gone now.

    My screen name is in connection with my car.
    I drive a 2003 Sonic Blue Mustang GT and to connect my car hobby with my video game hobby I find something that is represent both. It is also fitting that Sonic R is the "racing" Sonic game.

    Mine is pretty obvious, but not for those who haven't beaten MGS2. If you haven't beaten it, there are spoilers ahead:

    la-li-lu-le-lo is the name of the shadow organization in that game that secretly controls the American government and, in general, seeks to dominate the world. I was greatly enamoured of MGS2 at the time that I joined this site. I still am, actually.

    My Xbox Live account name is Ghostmonkey. I really like the Jim Jarmusch movie, Ghost Dog, and monkey is my favorite word in the English language as well as the most amusing animal. Thus a hybrid was born.

    All of what I said was true, too!:lol:

    I haven't been playing on Live as much lately, but since one of my friends is on break, I've been playing Halo 3 a lot more.:thumbsup:

    SubZero was my favorite MK character. Thus since subzero was used on AOL (yes LOL) I went with Subice. Later in the years of Gba dev subice became subby and thanks to Joat of the GBA scene kept calling me subbie insted I swapped to it.

    I think someone told me that subbie means bitch/slut or something like that in some language. ROFL.

    Well my case is kinda curious: I used the alias The50th since 1998, but then that fucker 50cent became famous and everybody started thinking I was a 50cent fan, which was a real pain in the ass since I came up with the name first.

    I had a friend who had the same problem and even worst: his real hame is John Thomas, so since elementary we used to call him JT (mostly becos he hated his full name) and then some years ago that douche justin timberlake started being famous and ruined my pal's life, since those were his real initials.

    Anyway, the origins of "Shadowlayer" are unknown, I just came up with the name and then looked around into the 'net to see if it was taken.
