[MrMixelPixel]

When I was a weee little lad and watched the superman cartoon... I couldn't pronounce a certain gents name. A fine man by the name of Mxyzptlk.

Spoiler: This guy.

I pronounced it as Mixelpixel. Then, I decided to call myself that on the interwebs,when I found out that wasn't his name. I thought it sounded original...

 

[bigfatcarp93]

Mine emerges from my Youtube username: my original username on YT was carp(numbers I forget), due to my last name being Carpenter. Later, I had to create a new profile, and wanted to go with a similar name. Due to assosciation with the fish, I thought the name "Big fat carp" would be funny. 93 is my birth year. When I set up my Escapist profile, I just decided to reuse the same name.

 

[neoontime]

I wanted neontime but that sounded cheesy. Then I realized I could put neo in the name to spell neo on time. Not cheesy at all.

 

[ScaryAlmond]

Okay Username origin
Xbox live came up Merciless Almond Seemed okay changed a couple of times the current iteration is Almondy but due to the no username change i'm stuck on ScaryAlmond

 

[Scarecrow]

My names comes from the Batman villian of the same name. Since then I've made it my own through...means.

As for my avatar, it's the vampire clan symbol from "Legacy of Khan: Soul Reaver", a great PS1 game.

 

[MeChaNiZ3D]

I had a lot of usernames, then I decided "I'm going to think of something that sounds cool and spell it so that people have trouble pronouncing it". Add that to my fondness for robots/machines/mecha, and you have MeChaNiZ3D. So no real significance.

 

[MiriaJiyuu]

Miria -> Name of my favorite Anime character at the time and a recurring joke that my play styles often matched up with the characters fighting style.

Jiyuu -> Japanese for freedom, something I believe in.

If any of my friends want to find me, this is the name they search for.

 

[Wolf-AUS]

It's my real name. No real origins there, but it does have a lot of sentimental value to me as a result.

You're back! XD

 

[CoL0sS]

Hmm, oh God it was so long ago...story is long, silly and very immature, but then, so were we.

My friend once broke his finger while punching me in a shoulder. It was just a friendly punch, but he hit the bone and hurt himself. Being kids, we enjoyed watching X-men re-runs on Cartoon Network and that, coupled with the fact that I was the tallest kid in school probably made him yell "You're a freaking Colossus, man". When we started playing Half Life deathmatch and Team Fortress, I had to pick a name, so I went with Colossus.
In my high school days, when we started learning more about computers I found out that Colossus was the world's first digital, programmable computer. It was also used to break encrypted German messages during WWII, and I always liked learning about that period.
When I started playing online multiplayer (CoD 2 had just come out) I learned to my dismay that there are a lot of players with that nick, so I changed it to ClearScreen (we were studying basic console commands at the time), but I was missing the story behind my old name so I just shortened it and used uppercase CLS (CLS = ClearScreen). And so CoLosS came to be. Honestly, I have no idea why I put that zero in there.

Some people find the name awkwardly difficult to spell with all those uppercase letters and a zero, but I don't care. I like pissing people off in any small way. Also, it looks and sounds very silly.

 

[cojo965]

Cojo965, okay the first part of that has a depressing story behind it. Cojo was the name of a leopard gecko that was given to me by a friend. He had to be put down because of a prolapse (tried to poop so hard his innards came out). 965? That's just the last three digits of my Xbox Live gamertag HunterSlayer965.

 

[AzrealMaximillion]

Areal Maximillion was the name of my second D&D 3.5 character.

That name itself actual was influenced by my interest at the time with Azreal, the angel of death and Maximillion, a secondary moniker for one of my favourite rappers, The Genius/GZA of the Wu Tang Clan.

 

[Coffeejack]

I came to the realisation a while back that my actions may likely be more significant after I'm gone than I ever could be on my own. Years of mistakes have led me to believe that humans are like pebbles dropped onto the glassy surface of a lake. Each action we take is a ripple that moves out and affects those around us. Our decisions, whether considerate or selfish, great or small, are what we will be remembered for. This is not a religion (as far as I know).
