I used Sheik in Smash Bros a lot. I was trying random numbers for where I first used this, 123 was taken, so I did 124....

From the movie Catch 22 and later Full Metal Jacket. A Section 8 refers to someone in the military who is mentally unfit for service. However, if you refer to yourself as a Section 8 you cannot be crazy and are therefore fit for duty. Alternatively, if you want to go into battle you are nuts and if you want to avoid it you are sane. Thus the Catch 22. I have used this handle since the early days of FPS. I kind of like the "Leroy Jenkins" approach.

I still need to watch that one of these years... I've only read the book.

I've noticed that. Kinda cool having several meanings. I forgot the most famous Section 8, Klinger from MASH.

The movie is very disappointing after reading the completely awesome book.

 

[ConstipatedVigilante]

After seeing Falling Down, I thought "vigilante" sounded cool. So I put "Constipated" before it to make it funny. My nickname online is Brat_Boy. My brothers called me a brat as a kid, so I used it online. Because nobody likes seeing "Brat Boy" at the top of the rankings in CoD4.

Usually is, but that doesn't mean the movies don't have their own merit

 

[TheVrolok]

"... got my polyglot dictionary from my bag and looked them out. I must say they were not cheering to me, for amongst them were "Ordog"--Satan, "Pokol"--hell, "stregoica"--witch, "vrolok" and "vlkoslak"--both mean the same thing, one being Slovak and the other Servian for something that is either werewolf or vampire." - Bram Stoker's Dracula.

 

[Gothgar]

I used this name in a MUD called Dragonrealms, been using it in every game since.
