Your Pseudonym, how did you come up with it?

[Kouta Cles]

My ex used to call me Kouta after we watched all of Elfen Lied.

Then we saw The Simpsons ep 9F11 ("Selma's Choice") where Homer says "Homercles cares not for beans!"

Fusion ensued.

 

[SonofaJohannes]

My surname is Johannesson.
Johannes son.
Son of Johannes.
Son of a Johannes
SonofaJohannes.

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

Because I was wearing socks and shoes when I made my profile, and yes, I'm that unimaginative.

It may be unimaginative, but it was original enough to not have been used.

OT: I forget the origins of my name. It started when I was signing up to sites here there and everywhere trying to use the name 'The Gentleman' but that was always taken. So, I figured that the best thing to do would be to add in an extra word and unworthy came up, nobody wants to call themselves unworthy. The only problem is that it often has more characters than a site will allow a username to have.

 

[StellarViking]

I dig astronomy and cosmology (that's COSMOlogy, not COSMETology), hence Stellar (havin' to do with stars, for those of you who don't know) and I am of Scandinavian descent, hence Viking. It also works because I like space games and exploration stuff, so StellarViking works as a sort of "star explorer" sort of thing.

 

[The Apothecarry]

My favorite playable hero in Dawn of War II with an accidental second "r." That's what I get for not checking my spelling.

 

[Rhade Adama]

Rhade is from Telemachus Rhade from the Andromeda tv series and Adama after Admiral Adama from the reimage of Battlestar Galactica.

Unfortuately while I originally intended Rhade to be pronounced raw-day as it is in Andromeda, all my guild mates in Guild Wars pronounced it raid.

 

[bulbasaur765]

I tried to go for something that had something in common with me.

 

[Flailing Escapist]

Flailing ______ is always my psydonyymmmmmmmnnmmmrr. Flailing just sounds BA and the _______ usually has to do with whatever its refering to.

 

[Corialos]

Corialos was originally the name of a character from a book that I started writing about two years ago, and never got finished. So I guess this is my testament to the dead soul also occupying the body of the main character.

 

[zerobudgetgamer]

Since graduating High School, I've alternated between brief attempts at dead-end jobs and lazing about college. Thus, I've never had any expendable income for video games, hence being a "Zero Budget Gamer"

 

[Infernostrider]

there's this set of boots in diablo 2, called the infernostrider. it has a chance when getting hit to cast blaze, which leaves a trail of fire where you walk

come on, how can you get much cooler then leaving fire in ones path?

 

[Inconspicuous Trenchcoat]

There was a bot mod for the original Counter-Strike called, PodBot. One of the possible bot names was fuzzy logic. I stole it from there, one day, when I couldn't think up something better while registering on some website... I can't remember what I first started using it for, but now I use it on most games and websites.

I'm vaguely aware that it's also some kind of obscure statistics term? Or possibly an obscure programming term?

Anyway, it works as an excuse for when I do something dumb in a game

Put them on your assassin, then lay out a whole mana orb's worth of inferno traps?

It makes the rouge plains look like the inferno...

 

[Mad Scientist]

I'm a mad scientist.

There's a long story there about secretly joining a forum under the name instead of my normal handle and then basing a facebook account on that forum and then... trust me, it's boring.

 

[Yeager942]

I first got onto the internet around the same time I began reading the Ender's Game series so my pseudonym is always Ender Arkanian. If for some reason I'm bored or I don't want to put that, I like the classic Simpson's gag, Guy Incognito.

 

[Sparrow]

It's a cool bird.

...yeah, I've got nothing.

 

[iamthe1]

It's an old cheat code from Unreal Tournament when we used to play during class in high school. Ah, the memories!

 

[platinawolf]

Always been fascinated by wolves ^^* Went from Vampiric_Wolf to WiccanWolf to platinawolf Yes, I'm a furry

 

[mbulsht]

A while ago, when I was reading the Count of Monte Cristo, I noticed that the translator often shortened "Monsieur" to just the letter "M." That became the first letter of my pseudonym. The "bulsht" part is obviously a shortened/censored version of the word "Bullshit." The word "Bullshit" is often abbreviated "B.S." which also happens to be my initials. thus my pseudonym was born: Mbulsht.

 

[IndigoAkyre]

Favorite color's indigo blue and Akira from Rival Schools was my favorite character to play when I first started actively playing video games.
