I use this name for everything, and its simple enough. My name's Tom, and I like the Red Sox. Although many people seem to think its a misspelling of "redsoxphantom"

Mine was randomly invented when I signed up to something else, and I was silly enough to think I'm geeky. Now I've met guys from here, I realise that I'm not at all geeky...

I modified it after stealing it from a random at a internet cafe who I was playing CS:S against because he was being a dick, and I thought that it was a cool name. It was originally SlyMoose.

Since birth I have been trained to lead the pickle race, in peace and war, in good times and bad, to lead with a just hand, striking down our enemies with the pure unrelenting power of pickles. Could also be a CoD2 thing I picked up...

I like cars. My favourite brand that I can't afford is Ferrari, who's creator was Enzo Ferrari. My favourite that I can afford is Honda, who's creator was Soichiro Honda. Thus, I combined them in to Dat da da daaaa: EnzoHonda. I also like that, when shortened, it's E. Honda from Streetfighter.
Coincidentally I got mine from the game that your avatar displays, and NOT from freaking Resistance 2 (no matter what you retards on PSN think, arrogant ****).
I liked the name. It was going to be either this, or Helios, I went with the first one.
Starting to wish I had gone with Helios, just so i'd avoid the annoying assumptions.
As for the 1942. I used to play way too much Battlfield 1942.
Mystery solved.

I'm a girl, favourite animal is a wolf and I reversed my age at the time I made up the username. (I was 15 at the time)

Thus how I got the username "shewolf51".

Well I st started here on the escapist so it's my first forum. I've really gotten into old episodes of red dwarf and I love Simon Pegg movies. And if you don't know about red dwarf they always call each other smeghead as an insult. But on my xbox live it's more interesting, my names MONTYZUMA and I had it even on the original xbox, it's a mix of my dog Monty and a very nice mexican restaurant near where I live called Montezumas. I was really annoyed when I found someone had taken it here.

Mine is a old standing name of mine, I have had it before spaces where even allowed in names. This is why I often still underscore the space, as a sign of great respect to a name that is older then most modern naming systems! Of course I've had people pick on this but I still like my underscore and nothing will change that.

As for how I got it... ummm, bad luck?

Actually that is exactly how I got it, I have the WORSE luck when it comes to games with any amount of chance in them... I kid you not, I once ran a D&D game where a single battle went on for HOURS without anyone being able to hit the bad guys or vice versa. All where rolling below five and missing completely! Worse is they where WEAKENED creatures as I wanted the battles to be done quick and neat so we can get back to story and not lose any of the players to... of all things... bad luck.

Maybe why I like playing ultra realistic FPS games and the like. These are ones where luck is less likely to factor into the equation as all guns shoot straight, as they damn well should! Sooo many bad games where I can line up a chest, I shoot centre of mass, and have it miss completely cause of some stupid random number generator or do minimal damage cause everyone knows a high calibre round can't penetrate a rib cage and everyone walks around like nothing happened after getting shot! /sarcasm

The only game immune to this is TF2, for some strange reason the cartoon graphics and pathetically weak fire-power make me no longer care I can't hit something cause of this bad luck effect or have them sprint off afterwards. This is a game I play not for skill, but cause of the damn cartoony nature of it mixed with levels of gore and violence only now being accepted in computer games.

Fun as hell that little addictive game.

The dragon part, well I can not honestly say here as it is a private matter. Lets just put it down to an... unhealthy obsession.

The english pronounciation of CMon (you pronounce it "Sea-Mon", not "K'Mon") is the exact same as the Norwegian pronounciation of my real name, which happens to be Simon. Am I brilliant or what?

It's a bit of a play on my usual playing style in FPS games.
While I'm usually one of the people on the middle or front lines, I'm still trying more to get the accurate, deadly shots and conserving ammo [and getting them, fyi. ;) ]

As opposed to my name.
:p

Azura means blue (which is my favorite color) and my favorite animal is wolf. Simple as that.
Your avatar is fucking amazing.

My name is the name of my favorite Tanker in City of Heroes. Mace/Willpower on virtue for you CoH players out there. If you look at my profile you can see my XBL gamertag as well and see where THAT comes from as well.........

Okay, in high school I hated the show the OC so my friend started to call me O.B.(My Initials - Oskar Borough) and well then it stuck with everyone in my social circle, the rest came when I had just started up a Myspace account and a friend of mine commented and said she saw a mini with the licence plate OBE001 and thought it was me and followed it to see if it was me. I use it when I cant think of something original.

Ow yeah and the E is for Extreme, the 001 is cause I am no.1! or at least that is what I tell people
