I'll go first! FireBush03. This is a combination of the names Fire Fiesta & Alpha Ambush, which were the names of my YouTube channel from June 2015 -> June 2016 & June 2016 -> present. The '03' is in reference to the year I was born...yes, I am a baby lol. (If you rlly wanna feel old, I was in middle school when Nintendo Switch launched.)

My initials + the year I was born.

Its my "placeholder" name for every site I join, thinking id change it a bit later once I decide for something more meaningul - but surprise surprise, VGC doesnt allow that. Now im stuck with it.

Changing you username is a very simple feature VGC, its time you add it.



Had to make a username for a poker site once and wanted to call myself Kløver, which is norwegian for Clubs(as the suit in a deck of cards like Spades, Hearts and Diamonds)
Theres no Ø in the english language, so it was just automatically changed to Klxver.



Mine's taken from the name of a Smashing Pumpkins album, which for a long time was my favourite album, although I doubt I'd put it in my top 10 anymore (still great though!); I stuck with the name out of habit.

I was running a Skylanders channel, and Activision had strongly suggested that Skylanders may not be returning for 2017 during the Feburary press conference. This combined with the release of Breath of the Wild one month later -- which (i) was the first non-Skylaners game I had played since 2011, and (ii) was so much fun that it made me lose all interest in Skylanders -- convinced me to move on from YouTube. I did try starting up a Nintendo channel (Cappy64 during January 2018), but the YT burnout made me really unmotivated to keep on going.



I like animals and the picture of a shaven ferret that wants a comfy sweater seems (and still is) downright amusing.



Norion is a planet from the Metroid series and since I'm a fan of that and like how it sounds I decided I'd make it my username on whatever sites I use. Just Norion by itself is usually taken though so I typically have to add a couple numbers to the end but thankfully not here.
