Sneaky Pie Brown.

Who is that you ask? Well he's an author, who also happens to be a cat. Really.

When I found out about this, I thought it to be ridiculously ridiculous and immediately adopted it.

Later on I shortened it to just Sneaky-Pie.

It all started with KOTOR asking for a character name. I wanted something that sounded like it was from the star wars universe so I chose eko. As time went on I thought it sounded cooler with an s. Later when I used to use it as my steam name, everyone pronounced it as ecos (think Jak eco). So I added an H to give it the pronunciation that I wanted. It's in capitals because most characters I use the name on are supposed to be very powerful. Plus it looks unbalanced the other way.

I always use griffin with ph's, Griffin is my last name and replacing the f's with ph's means that in online games it's never taken.

It stemmed from that fact that I'm not a fan of Eminem (aka Slim "Shady"). I put an "8" in there because I once saw a license plate that said "CRE8IVE" and I thought that that was mind-numbingly awesome.

I'm not sure, I believe it was when I was like 12 or 13, and AOL wanted a username. I wanted something easy and smooth. I still like it ^_^

Jark is my go-to character when writing short stories, and 212 is my lucky/sacred number...

It's the name of a character in a series of short stories I'm writing. I originally came up with the name for my Death Knight in WoW, and it evolved from there. My default name used to be Jiles for everything, but then it changed to what it is now.

I was playing "Destroy All Humans 2" when visiting the Escapist & figured the Great God Of The Sacred Crotch would be a unique enough name to get by.

I sat down and created it when I was making my first character in Guild Wars. It's not a reference to anything, just a name I made up and then subsequently adopted as my online handle - to the best of my knowledge I am in fact the one and only Gildan Bladeborn anywhere online, or at least all the Google search results that turn up are me at any rate.

It's actually harder to find results that are me and not just some stranger with the same name if you employ my real name when searching, such is the pervasive nature of the Gildan persona I have created.

I got my username from this fun little tale: when I used to play CS and Halo, I got most of my kills with grenades. I became known as 'the combuster'. I went by that name for a little while until someone mistakedly called me 'Super Combuster', thats when I came up with 'SuperCombustion'.

Its the name of my favorite song in the Gears of War 2 soundtrack.

I was listening to the song while I was registering and decided to call myself that.
