When I had first gotten my Xbox 360, I made my gamer tag Rayman56 because its a combination of of my first name (RAYce), and the fact that I was bigger than my mom, hence man. I added 56 because that's what channel Comedy Central is in my area.

I'm.. actually not sure. All my usernames are some variant of Cyanide Sandwich, and this was the first account that I made with the name. I wanted something that would be relatively safe, in that there's a very low chance that someone else would have it, so this popped into my head (originally it was going to be Cyanide Burger, but I like alliteration).

I used to be EmileeElectro because I thought it sounded cool after seeing some girl call herself EvieElectric or something. The girl in question was a bit of a twat which is a shame but never mind.

I'd be happy if I could change the 'Electro' to 'Hearts' which is Username I use all the time now. (EeveeHearts)
That name is just a play on my actual name (Emilee Victoria Hartley - see if you can work out how I came to using EeveeHearts, haha!) but I love it because I love Eevee and a few people have said I remind them of an Eevee.

Well, I was (and still am) a big Death Note fan at the time, and I was playing Devil May Cry, so I thought I'd just put the two together.

The brackets are just to make it look cooler : P

Years ago I used it a random name for a character I was playing on a game (I forget what it was) and just ended up using for everything. I later googled it along with all my mates online names and found that no-one was using mine in anyway aside from me so I stuck with it.

Elate, because I'm so damn elated, or I elate people.

At the time though it was ironic, since then I was a miserable ass hat. OH HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED. Now I'm just an ass hat, and the name is no longer ironic, more appropriate.

'Cause I swing my axe at you?

It's a character that was made up by Jesse Cox during his Terraria Lets Play with Totalbiscuit. I checked to see if the name was still available at the escapist, and when I saw that it was I just thought 'fuck it'.

The rest of my many online handles have just been names that I thought were cool.

I just found the idea of unzipping a bear suit and expecting some guy playing a practical joke then finding a large wolf which mauls you and runs away with your foot to be amusing. In truth I wanted Two Bears High Fiving but it was too long. I got that one from a Wild Wasteland encounter from Fallout New Vegas which I found rather amusing

The 'D' is the first letter of my first name, and the Slatch is most of my surname.

BONUS ROUND: Avatar from a shirt of mine... I'm a master of the art.

Nothing complicated, just a modern, half l33t version for Casanova. Also, during my younger days I used to kill-steal(KS) a lot in multi-player and online games.

At first it was Fat Angus, which I got from Worms Armageddon as a randomly generated name.

Then it got cut down to F'Angus because Fat Angus was taken. But also fits with The Brutal Ballad of Fangus Klot, which was a cancelled Oddworld game.

Well, it's my name. Kind of. Joel Lars Magne Ljungberg. So yea. Go figure.

If that one sounds boring, then how about my avatar? I was sitting alone in my room late in the evening fiddling around with some stuff in Apophysis 7x, when suddenly I added a variable that changed everything. It created a creature of some kind. So I rendered it. Started using this "creature" as my avatar around the intrawebz, though it was hard to see it clearly in the beginning (it's actually a lot larger than in this image, you see), and I had to cut down on the file size for this site, anyway. . . so I kind of just cut out the "face" or whatever of it and used that.
Bit more interesting, right? ^_^

Ha, I'm the same. Short story: I misspelled "Doom" by hitting the p between the two o's, and eded up with "Dopo". I thought it was awesome and it wasn't attached to any meaning[footnote]Although, since I've learned that there is a word "dopo" in Italian but whatever[/foootnote], so I capitalised the P kept it. The long story is, well, longer and more boring. But I've been consistently using this handle since 2004-ish. And the somewhat awesome part is that it's quite hard to track me through the Internet, since "dopo" spews a bunch of pages in Italian.
