"Where does your name come from?"

I won't spoil anything for the person in question by saying how I found out where the name 'Armatige Shanks' comes from but I found out over the weekend and it's quite funny. I'm sure some of you will also know but that's not the point of this post.

My name,
Why it came from a game.

But which one?

Is it from the game... meka_dragon, the computer game?
