Long story, I guess.

I went to Japan last summer to participate in a summer university course. When I bought a cell phone, in order to easily keep in contact with friends and send free mails home, I got to choose a mail address. I originally wanted "doggedawg" as a pun on my name, but the store clerk heard me wrong and put in "daggedawg" instead. Since then, I have started to use that as a username for various online accounts.

From two rather infamous vessels, also as a reference to great evil, darkness and the void.

Harbinger from Mass Effect 2, and of course Harbinger comes from the void.

Harbinger from Knights Of The Old Republic II, a vessel of corpses that brings darkness.

Hence: [user]AvsJoe[/user].

[sup][sup]The fact that the most famous and successful player in the history of the franchise is also named Joe (Joe Sakic) is just a coincidence.[/sup][/sup]
Hahaha, Joe Sakic is a relative of mine by marriage! It's a ways away and I've never met him personally, but he's actually on my family tree now.

I got sick of the name I had been using for CS:S so I decided to come up with a new one. I've always loved space so I decided to use that somehow.

Eventually I settled on SpAc3man. The caps S and A being the initials of my first and surnames. The 3 was there because it was cool to have a bit of l33t when I came up with it. I tend to use SpAceman more than SpAc3man these days.

I'm female, apparently a dork, and I was born in '90. Therefore I am dorkette1990 (usually someone has stolen plain Dorkette).
My handle when on steam is usually the WOMBAT, because the word wombat looks and sounds amazing (unlike the animal - stupid wombats).

My name comes from a struggle from within, conquering crushing depression and coming out the other side. By this I mean that this was the name of my first D&D character. The half red dragon half drow that kicked everyones asses.

The d is a surname that is actually not pronounced (so its not da-kyros its just kyros). The surname is a mysterious word that starts with d. Kyros was a mix between my real name and the word zero. (10 virtual dollars to the first person to guess my real name).

It's the name of the 13th Stellazio coin in Final Fantasy 9. Or it's that obscure zodiac sign that everyone started going on about a few months ago. Take your pick.

A play on the debut album of the melodic thrash death metal band Darkane.

The album was titled Rusted Angel so I slaved away for months before coming up with Custard Angel as an alternative.

I laughed like a mad man for about 2 seconds then just decided to go with it.

Thing is, I don't actually like the album, nor the band, that much. The band has some real high points, and I definitely don't hate them, but I probably wouldn't rate them on a list of my 10 favourite bands. Probably not top 20 either.

Definitely top 50 though. I'll give them that at least.
