Mass effect is my favorite game
Black hawk down is my favorite movie and blackhawk super 64 was the second one to be shot down. Her pilot, Mike Durant was taken prisoner and delta snipers Gordon and Shuggart died protecting him.

Username: My username dates back to when I restarted playing Runescape back in 6th grade. At the time I was in karate lessons, and I considered my self a kid so karatekid. I tried that name in the registration and it said it was already taken (At the time I didn't realize there was a movie called Karate Kid) and karatekid19 was the first "karatekid" with numbers after it that the registration showed. From that point on, I've been attempting to get karatekid19 for all of my usernames. Thus karatekid19.

Avatar: It was just a picture that I found on Bob's House of Video Games. I liked it and it had my favorite TF2 character in it.

My username used to be "Nightshadow"; which I got when I was in middle school and watched too much X-Men: Evolution. My two favorite characters were Shadow Cat and Nightcrawler. Being 13 years old, I combined the two into something only a 13-year-old would think is cool. But the more sites I registered for, the more I found that Nightshadow was taken; so I swapped some synonyms and got Noxshade. I use variants like "Noxshadow" and "Nyxshade" occasionally.
My avatar is the main antagonist of the BlazBlue series, Terumi. The man spends most of the story viciously mocking the other characters, so I opened photoshop and made an Obama "Hope" parody with him.

Haha yes. Terumi FTW.

If any of you are wondering, people call him the "King of Trolls" because in the main story of Continuum Shift, he succeeds at trolling just about every character at one point, never dies and when he's "defeated" he just taunts them before proceeding to kill them. In many instances, he just appears, trolls someone, then leaves before they can do anything. Always has something troll-ish to say.

I am Dapper Chap because I just made it up and didn't think it through much...

My avatar is from a desktop imaged of Big Boss from MGS3. Because he is cool. I shop'd it and came up with what it is now.

Username - Shadu is sort of my "internet persona." It's my default choice for anything requiring a username. I've been using it since I got my DA account 6 years ago.

Avatar - It's Conrad from Hanna is Not a Boy's Name, but as a kid. The actual story takes place when he's like...twenty four, but this is a picture from his past. The title is "Nothing was wrong originally." He didn't start out to be a nervous wreck, but after his mom took him to doctor after doctor because she thought he was destined to be a pyscho killer, he began to believe it.

DevTrek is my first email address from when I was totally into Star Trek. Dev is part of my first name, and while I'm not that into Star Trek anymore I've decided the Trek is a neat little expression of my journey through life or whatever and kept the name.

Avatar is a picture from the very find webcomic Crimson Dark.

Username- 'Fiz' is a nickname I got from this bar/restaurant that I frequent. The bartender and the bar manager gave it to me that started as a play on my name, and then condensed down. 'Toaster' is an inside joke between me and a couple of my friends, and one of them actually made a cloth toaster figure for me. I thought it was hilarious that you can kill an enemy with a toaster if the game lets you use anything.

Avatar- It's Heather and Alessa. I love SH3 and I just liked the pic.

I think America's gun laws a silly and I love Anthrax.

That's pretty much the gist of it. Although it used to be 'wasder' because it's so easy to type.

Username: I genuinely have no idea which corner of my mind Serenegoose comes from - I think, basically, I like geese, and they have a reputation for being angry - a serene one was an amusing mental image, and from there, Serenegoose.

Avatar: I'm writing a book about Faeries. They're one of my favourite fantasy races, so I cropped an image from the rulebook of Changeling: The Dreaming which fit 'me' really well. :)

Avatar: I found it one day randomly surfing google and I thought it was funny so it became my avatar.

It was a random name I choose years ago when I had to create a name for Steam.

My avatar is from Gurren Lagann, and I uploaded it just a couple of weeks ago, because that was when I had finished the series, and found out that I love it to death.

Before this avatar I used to have one from Pan's Labyrinth. The scene when the pale man puts the eyes in his palms, and puts his hands in front of his face. I think I had that avatar for almost half a year.
