A hacking rollerblade courier named Chet goes down the streets of San Francisco with lethal speed, just to earn those extra bucks. One day he gets a pay-raise and a package to deliver within a near-impossible timeframe. When these unusual packages becomes more frequent, Chet wonders what the packages might contain. His screen name was Snake_byte.



No! It means this...... :roll:

Haha um...so mine is essentially my name, all mashed together. Well, it's the name I go by, that started out as my 'wiccan name' ('cause why not?) and then just kind of...took over. There's a lot of reasoning why I chose that as my name, but as for my username, I just chose it 'cause it was my name. Easy. Simple. Almost guaranteed never to be taken.
I used to like to be 'creative' and 'inventive' in choosing usernames, but that was a lot of work, and I always ended up looking back and getting embarassed by them.
One of my early ones was 'darkangelzbleed'. I thought it was so clever. :roll:
my previous one on here, 'queenofblades' wasn't too bad. I think I had just finished Fable 1 or Fable 2 or was playing it through again or something, and I really liked Jack of Blades (and his super cool mask), who's name was obviously a play on 'Jack of Spades', so -Jack, +Queen, boom. My username.
No, I have never played Starcraft, nor do I ever intend to.

Maybe... if it was spelled that way. But notice bite is spelled BYTE like a unit of measurement to do with computers...

HA! Yes, SB, we are going to gang up on you and pointedly ignore Misa's comment in order to get our own way and receive self-affirmation.

Exactly! I guess some people just don't get it... So these must all mean the same too?

pear (fruit), pair (couple); see (with your eye), sea (the ocean).

I lol'd so hard.

My username is my first name, backwards. It was actually a highschool inside joke with my friend and I. We would talk about cute boys and girls by saying their names backwards, and our own names too.
