"the Jim" may look alright, but only in that format.

Maybe I used the wrong word, but I meant as "the Jim" - not "The Jim" or "the jim"

El Dango wrote:You'll never guess where i got my username. It's named after the game we're all waiting for: Rayman 4. And about the 121? Well, back at RZ (where i picked this name) i couldn't just call myself Rayman4, so i called myself Rayman4_121, because i had to "pick a number". And then i had the most unoriginal username in username history. When i joined PC, i called myself R4_121, to make it sound cooler. But sadly, it's still lame. I think i'm gonna change it.
I think R4_121 souns better than El Dango.

Well. I'm a Mr. Dark crazy. Always have been. Ever since I saw that very first image of him in "Rayman Mr. Dark no Wana" he's been one of my most favorite video game characters/villains. So, I named myself "Mr. Dark" and why I didn't add numbers or whatever to the name is because no one even had the name yet, and I'll be known as the very first Mr. Dark on PC/RZ ever. (I'm the first Mr. Dark on PC, right? Cause I am on RZ.)

For most of you who've been here for a while, you know I called myself gojaromeiginla, or GJI. Some of you still refer to me as such, lol. Anyway, I chose that because at the time, I was an insane fan of the Calgary Flames. I still am, but not to that extent anyway. Jarome Iginla is the Flames' top player, and I worked his name into my user name. It became what I used all over the internet. However, after a while, the novelty of the name wore off, and I needed something different. I chose "Feanaro Surion" simply because it's actually my real name in Elvish. I think it looks awesome and sounds awesome, so I just decided to use it as my internet name. There you have the story of my usernames.

Actually you're not the first Mr. Dark on RZ, when did you assume that? We had one in the old forums.

Anyway, I find it weird for someone to have just a character's name as a nickname, and even if I was a huge Mr Dark fan, I'd use a different name :wink:

Rly.

I was going to go with "Mr. Dark_279", but, eh, it doesn't look right.
