On the original Nintendo, some of the games allowed you to enter your own names, up to 5 characters in length. I used Blade, Edge, Flame, Deth, etc but was never completely satisfied with any of them.
Then one day, a depressing long time ago, I was listening to the song 'Ram It Down' from the same titled Judas Priest tape ( <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> ... but at least I'm not talking about an 8 track). One of the lines in the chorus is "Razing the place to the ground". From the context I could figure out what 'razing' was, but looked it up in the dictionary anyway. The definition was something like 'to completely and utterly obliterate, to destroy down to the foundation'. I thought that was so cool I started using that as my primary nick for games, and have ever since.

I still have a few Judas Priest tapes (no CDs), but don't really listen to them anymore (I posted some of what I do listen to in the
My Fav Lyrics topic).
