Quite often people confuse my username for deriving from the Delphine Software game Flashback / Flashback: The Quest for Identity.

I'm assuming no one knows, so I'll say it. Metal Gear Solid for PS1. The photo is of Solid Snake during a codec call and "MrFOXHOUND" is what Meryl calls Snake while she's under Psycho Mantis' mind control right before fighting Mantis in the office.

Mine is an amalgamation of two of my favorite things - Atari and the Toronto Maple Leafs

On a high school trip to Washington, D.C. I won an Abe Lincoln hat in some trivia thing we did. I wore it a lot during the trip and one of the teachers started calling me Abe. The summer after that was when I discovered VGCollect from r/gamecollecting. I think I tried Darkadia or something like that too, but I liked VGC better, which is why I'm still here.

Wow, for the longest time I was pronouncing your user name like the last name of the current Prime Minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe.

I think I've been studying too much.

An interesting topic! My username doesn't have a really interesting origin story, though. I just heard an association of Telly and Westside together and thought it sounded pretty neat! I first used it as my PSN gamertag, and also use it on XBL and a few other places.

I shortened it to Telly on VGC just to make things easier. Funnily enough there's a video game called Telly Turtle for the Atari 400 800/ Colecovision, so that's the origin of my avatar as well. 

I also go by TeaWest on some other online spaces as another way to shorten it, and on Bulbagarden Forums I go as Pory gone? (A reference to Porygon, my favorite Pokemon of all time)

Never could come up with a clever internet alias, so at some point, during a phase when I was listening to a lot of electronic music, I picked a random Apparat song that I liked and stuck with it.

Have to use this user name cause the forum didn't allowed me to use my original one which is Dead or Alive Fan, started to use this one years ago when I saw the bOObs I mean the girls of this franchise also at that same time started to messing around in a lot of forums even the bad ones so if you see somebody using this one and that person claim that doesn't like porn or hentai is not me

I catch myself doing that with words too sometimes.

One of my many hobbies is I love bicycles. I don't collect them like I do games and other things, but I love to ride them. I mostly ride road and commuter bikes, but I used to really be into XC Mountain biking.

The second part of my user name is named after the orbital frame in Zone of the Enders known as Jehuty. Funny enough, i've always spelled it with an "a" and not an "e" It was a mistake I made for years and wasn't until several years ago that I realized I was misspelling it. I just decided to run with the incorrect spelling :p

[gf78]

My username started out as Gamer From 78 wayyy back in 1997 when I started posting on consumerreview.com.  I was born in 1974, but "Gamer Since 1978" (when I started gaming) didn't have the same ring to it.  I've kept that username for nearly 20 years now, using it on everything from forums, websites, an email address, Xbox Live and PlayStation Network.  I just shorted it to "gf78" for this site.  One, because it is shorter and easier and two, because when I initially registered for this site I screwed it up and had to re-register with a new username.

So I noticed most of us have gaming related avatars but if anyone wants to know what mine is..

One day I wanted to go out hiking through the woods. so I drove probably 20 miles from home till I found a relatively large (for the area) forrest and started to wander through it. I probably spent about 4 hours getting lost in their. eventually I came across a creek (its actually a small river but to me creeks are anything you can easily and safely walk across) and decided to follow it. eventually I found this railroad bridge structure that had only half the bridge their.

I could immediately tell that I am one of the only people to know this thing exists because their was absolutely no graphitti on it (which their usually is on any remote man made structure people know about)

the thing that was the weirdest about this abandoned bridge though was that looking through historical maps their was no sign that any railroad had ever traveled through that forest and I could find no plans to ever have a track go through it. so it is my little piece of personal knowledge that very few people if anyone else knows about.

Mine is simple as it gets, it just the first 3 letters from my first and last name.
