    Yeah Illmatic and Stillmatic are my favorites for sure. Lyrically he is one of the best and he is still consistent with his music. Nas is a beast!

    Child of the Lord which we all are as far as i can see at least for those who believe.

    I chose Outkast1 as my AOL screen name years and years ago because I liked the rap/hip hop group Outkast. I was kind of a mischievous teenager and I was constantly "punting" people off AOL :D You guys remember "punters"? Anyhow I eventually got permanently banned from AOL for doing this crap and though it wasn't intended, I started thinking of my screen name in the context of 'outcast one'... I thought it was kind of amusing so I kept it. That must have been over 10 years ago now, I should check if I'm still banned.... :rolleyes:

    My friends named me Caboose because of the character from Red Vs Blue.
    The 1408 was my freshman year locker number.

    when I was very young I made my first email and my password was: spiderman. I then proceded to make my first online account so I made my password spiderman and decided to make my username interesting and make it spidey. Then I wanted to make a second account so I could trade between them but I didn't understand that they both couldn't have the same username. When I tried registering it it said "Username already in use" and gave a list of suggestions, one of which being: spidey146.

    It's an amalgamation of phagocyte and psychotic. I just liked the way it came together. Maybe a touch of my personality as I love to eat and I can be a bit wonky in the head.

    Well, my online name for basically everything is U1, but of course U1 can't be used due to the fact that it's only 2 characters long, so I decided to just make it Yewwon. and after a while i got tired of U1 because for some odd reason there were actually quite a lot of people who use U1 as their usernames, not really sure why...but I decided to make my offical online name to Yewwon, because seriously, no one is going to have this name.

    anyone who's played mario and luigi superstar saga would know of all those different bean types...there was like Hoo Bean and Hee Bean and something else...so yea my mind jumped to that when I made my username.

    This is the only place i'm using the name though, everywhere else it's usually Giygas (last boss in Earthbound <3) or Flake (Rammstein's keyboarder)

    I stole the name Midian from the CoF album but also like that it's a biblical/historical/possibly-mythical reference too. I just liked the sound and first went by "DDR Midian" (which didn't stand for Dance Dance Revolution, but it's so long ago I've forgotten what it does stand for) and got my friends to use "DDR" as well, as a way to let people know we're friends during online games but without us actually being involved in a clan or anything... then I changed to MidianGTX when I bought GRID, cause the GTX makes it sound like a racing team. They're cool looking letters so I kept 'em.

    I use it a lot cause it seems to work in most circumstances, it sounds both futuristic and historical at the same time so it fits in nicely with almost any RPG I play.

    Your username sounds like something one year-old kid would say with a mouth full of oatmeal.
