I was at a beach, and some dudes & chicks needed more people for vollyball, so I volunteered myself and my best friend to play, even though we had just got done with mile repeats on a hard XC day.
So some of the dudes started calling me Johnny All Star constantly and I didn't mind, so after we crush the other team (hint: Bump, set, spike.) he asks me what my name is because I played ok enough for him, and well, yeah it's John, so /win, and /stuck.

Used the name on the first forum I joined up on in my life, VGMusic, a site that made MIDI versions of game music pieces. I needed a name that was to do with games but sounded kinda badass since I couldn't pick a single obscure gaming-related name to go with, somehow end up at FinalGamer because UltraGamer or UltimateGamer sounds too smug.
After a while I came upon the forum of a furry webcomic and after a while decided to make FinalGamer something more than some cyborg ripoff of the Omar from Deus Ex: Invisible War. So now he's a gaming anthro velociraptor, and always will be.

This is a long story.
It started back when Halo first came out. Me and a bunch of friends would get together every Sunday with 4 tvs, 4 boxes, 4 copies of the game, 16 controls, 3 pizzas and a lot of soda. My name started off as my name, but seeing things like "TopTen" "Mr.Domino" "Feather" "Saucey" and then my name, made me decide I needed a good tag. At the time I was playing horribly, and usually ranking in the bottom 5 of every game, so liking Japan a lot I got a Japanese to English dictionary and looked up the words "Dead Meat" and thus my first tag of "Deddo Niku" was born. Lots of practice later and I start being in the top 3 of all the games we play and I decide I'm no longer dead meat so I need to change it. At the time I had just finished the anime Serial Experiment Lain, and at the end the main char becomes(as far as I can tell) God of the Internet. So I made my name Lain, but I felt like such a rip-off so I took my other favorite anime character "Nicholas D. Wolfwood" and tried to fuse the two. After about half an hour I randomly typed "Lainwood" and upon saying it out loud went "Hey...that has a nice ring to it." and thus my name for everything ever since was born.

It was a nickname I've had since high school, but always pronounced with some approximation of a black accent, hence "Mogan Freeman"
Arcade machines were my first touch to gaming, and you always had to give your 3 initials when you got to the top 10 list. And I often did 
In computer wonder world where you have OVER 3 characters to type, I felt I should conserve characters but in my excessiveness I wanted to use 4(!), just because I could. And the end with my first 2 initials was a good match those letters that made the string to be my nickname used in real world.
In case anyone is intrested how to read it, its not how english would usually read "late", its more like how you'd say "latte" with short t.

though I do sometimes use my pen-name, or my Hamyo I've received from various masters such as Azumi, or Mue

I got mine from two places one from Fullmetal Alchemist the character pride was one of my favorites in the series, so I stole his name. The 42 I picked it because it is the answer to life the universe and everything. Nothing to special but random things I like.
