Username: I’ve used this on everything for years. Don’t remember exactly how I thought of it, but it was probably something dumb.

Avatar: Currently Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures album, just because I’ve listened to it a lot lately.

Signature: Line from “New Dawn Fades,” a song on the aforementioned album.

Username: Randomly chosen non-pronounceable sequence of letters.

Avatar: I needed an avatar, so I chose a picture of a bobblehead. It’s fine. I have one with lasers.

Title: I undo enjoyment.

Signature: A little article I wrote about being skeptical. / An article somebody else wrote about being critical. / I was the first person somebody called a MiniFrink. / A pixel art drawing of the original Macintosh.

Well researched and​ annotated, I liked it ☺️

Hey there ESF!

Hola!

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

Username: Randomly decided to use it for the forums of a game called Spore, ended up being my go-to for most of my endeavours (unless for some reason I don’t want it attached to me)

Avatar: That picture is basically summing up my life up to this point. The circular avatar means that the joke’s cropped, so I’ll append the original here.

Signature: I found it in the Random Star Wars pics & gifs thread. If you don’t get, why are you on this forum, as you’ve clearly never seen the series.

Username: Religious epithet Simpsons reference and inside joke I had with my friends a long time ago. I’ve tried in the past to shed the name, but it’s attached to so many things I use that I just gave up and embraced it.

Avatar: At the moment it’s Vader. I thought it looked cool.

Signature: “It’s difficult to physically measure disappointment, but I’m going to have to say lifelong”

It was a response I read somewhere else to the question “without using physical measurements, describe the length of your member.” Thought it was funny and just self-deprecating enough so I shamelessly stole it.

USERNAME: When I was younger I would often use Dak Ralter as a character name in video games. Sometime four-ish years ago one of my older brothers misspoke it jokingly as Dek Rollins, so I subsequently began using that instead. When I joined OT after a year of lurking I decided to use it.

PASSWORD: * **** **** **** *** ** * ****** *** **** ***** *** ***** ** ******

AVATAR: I’ve been using pictures of Donald Sutherland as Hawkeye Pierce because when I watched MASH (1970) for the first time, I really liked the hat he wore throughout the film. A couple years ago, I found an ebay listing for a 1960s era hat of identical style, and my Mom ended up buying it for me as a Christmas gift. So I wear it all the time now, and I thought it would be fun to show what I look like all the time without a picture of myself. 😛

SIGNATURE: Since my current signature is just my project thread links, I’ll explain my old sig that I had for a long time. It was just the paragraph on the original cover to Sonic & Knuckles.

Actually, I think I’m gonna add that back in. I like it.

Username: A slightly ironic misspelling of Nerevar (+ the word Great) from The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, which was carried over from the Elder Scrolls forums. Not super applicable here, but it serves.

Avatar: At the moment, it is a strangely happy stormtrooper from a Japanese artwork.

Signature: The quote by Duracell is from when he was commenting on ATMachine’s bizarre posts, and I liked it so much that it’s been there ever since.
Also self-promotion, of course. 😃

You probably don’t recognize me because of the red arm.

Well, my username is supposed to be hanshotfirst1138. I’m not quite sure how I fucked up and used the wrong name when I created my account.

USERNAME: “Duracell” and “Energizer” fused. In retrospect, I wish I had gone with “Duragizer” instead.

Have you asked Jay to change it?

I assumed it was a mashup of Never Are or something…which still made no sense.

I read it as never rar, as if you had something against the RAR compression format.
