I used to go by Ragnarok back in the day in shooters, I got really sick so my friends played a bit without me and renamed my character Snotnarok. And apparently there's an unwritten rule that you can't make your own nickname so I guess that wins out then.

I wasn't in the mood to think of something good and I just wanted a new identity. I pretend the old me never existed on this site.

Mine is an invented word I made up way back in 1995 when I was still in high school.

A "cool" name I made waaaaaaaaay back for Warcraft 3 for battlenet. After that I started getting into gaming more and it stuck.

The other handle I use is Ax1007. Which I made up for Unreal Tournament3 since I was using a robot model. That one also stuck, I use it when websites/games dont let me have the "-" in DOom-Slayer.

My choices on Xbox Live were PandoraThrust, something about toast and MissionYeti. I chose MissionYeti.
My escapist name however I cant remember why I chose Cobbs.

When I was about 12 or 13 a few friends and I thought about starting a band. Someone thought of the name 'SyAnYdE'. Naturally, being the unoriginal person I am, I took this name and tried to use it for everything online but for some reason 'SyAnYdE' was taken so I changed it to 'UbEr SyAnYdE' (Probably 'uber' because of the game SSX). A few years later I realised that alternating caps are obnoxious and difficult to read so it finally transformed in to 'ubersyanyde'.

Also my YouTube username is 'EvilBunnyOfDarkness' which I chose only because I thought it sounded cool. No idea why.

My name is the name of an evil crow with white tipped wings whom, if you said his name, he would hear you wherever he was and send you into a world of nightmares. However, to this day, I still don't know exactly how to pronounce it. It was from a book I bought from my primary school fete called "The Thunder Egg".

Olas is the nickname I usually go by. It's the last half of my real name: Nicholas.
The rest ought to be self explanatory.
I know my username might sound a little boastful but it's just the one I use for almost every account I create, starting when I made an EA account to play Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth over half a decade ago.

I was trying to think up an XBL gamertag that didn't contain any "Snipes", "Majiiks", "CoD", "Alucards", "Boi", real name, birth date, foreign accented characters, arbitrary numbers, X's, I's, random spaces, l33t typing, alternating caps or doubled letters; but was short, snappy, reflected how I play, stood out and made literal sense.

That was 5 years ago. I try to keep my username the same but sometimes I fancy something different. Like a second character on a game or something: I now have a pool of epic username, some are quite original and roll off of the tongue and could pass as an actual name, but Bvenged was the first that sparked my innovative streak. It's one of the worst but the one I'm attached to and most associated with.

My Youtube channel is "Bvenged505" because I made the Bvenged channel, it bugged up, so I deleted it and remade it but apparently the "name is still taken" despite nobody on youtube having the account. That's the only time I have fallen out of line with usernames.

I'd rather not share the others out until I've become more established online with them. :D the last thing I want is to see a "new" member with the name of one of them stealin' my persona.

I started playing Runescape seriously when I was twelve years old. Fourteen-year-old me got rid of it. But, for some reason, I decided to bring it back here instead of my more common nom de net.

[sub]it was originally 'x13x37x'[/sub]

I love puns and wordplay, and a play on words is just that, so I decided to be insufferably clever (or so I imagined), and chose that as a name. That way, if people ask, I can say my name is a play on words.

Nothing but a somewhat childish play on good old saxton hale.
Its a shame I could never find a more explicit picture to use as an avatar.
