I went to see the new Star Trek movie.
The movie was being shown at an Empire Theatre location.
I figured the name 'Empireth' was friggen sweet.
I used it as the name of a character in my text adventure I'm struggling to write.
I now use it as an alias in everything.
Steal it and I kill you.

I named myself Slayer_2 after the Slayer game mode in Halo 2 back when it first came out. The name has stuck for almost everything since.

My friend came up with with that name for a game character of mine, and it just stuck with me.

I would always just ramble on and contently talk. One of my friends said it would be like a radio talk show.
The 1314 was just a random number that stuck with me.

Mine is pretty self explanatory. I am a communist, and I am a idealist. Makes sense.

Sure it makes sense. To you.

What do you mean by that?

Well it does make sense to you right?

I am just fooling with you Commi. Comrade, amigo.

Magnatek

A variation of an old Adventure Quest account I had (and still have (I think), yet only played for about an hour), Magmatek. I just decided to change one simple letter in the name to change it from "Magma" to "Magna". Simple as that. I've been wanting a place to use this name for quite some time.

As for the avatar, it mainly changes depending on the game/movie/book that I'm currently interested in at the time. As you can see, my avatar is currently Zero, from the Mega Man X series, so you can probably guess what I've been playing.

Lol, i actually am not entirley sure where my name came from, no long story here, just thought that Red Dragon was good, but i dfecided to change it up and make it more noticable, so i swapped the word around to make Dragon_Of_Red.

I have used this ever since I had my first Xbox game profile name.
It was...a moment of bliss when I found this name.
Up until that point, I was always trying to find something funny and to use.
And then BAM!
I made this combo.
And I've used it for everything since.

I really don't know... I just decided to cross my favourite acid (H2CO3) with my sometime favourite animal... better than all my other previous names - wow7053 (made before world of warcraft...it's just wow) Mr.D and Mvestery Mr.X ( When I somehow mistook the V for a Y in geometry wars).

It is a combination of a word that produces a funny image in my head and a horrible attempt at abbreviating "association".
I just threw it together because I wanted to make something special for the Escapist.
I sorta wish I could change it.

It's what I came up with when I was idly wondering what a Canadian Transformer would be like.
It case you're wondering, he's a snowmobile.

In my teen years, I was once tasked with coming up with a name for Draconis Combine character in a Battletech MUX.

Geldon Yetichsky dripped off my fingers, my brain cells lit up as though providence itself was on board with the idea, and the name has stuck in various variations ever since.

It's been a long time since my late teens/early 20s, perhaps it's time for another metamorphosis. I'm tired of people calling me "Golden."

Years ago a friend of mine ran into me as I was walking home in a blizzard. I have really shaggy hair and I'm a pretty big guy and he said from a distance I "looked like a Yeti or something" that kind of stuck and I tweaked it a little bit for username purposes.

Also my name is Dan.

Mine originated from Dawn of war Winter assault and my love of basilisks. In general I usually bombard everything into dust whenever I can. Heck I remember building enough big berthas in total annihilation to reliably shoot down aircraft. Now I use it pretty much everywhere.

I think it was something I yelled out once when my friend and I were watching Shark Week on the Discovery channel. It was a few years ago and we thought it was hilarious, now I'm not the big of a fan.

Mine came from an idea I had for RPG Maker.

I bought a copy of the game on Ebay and then I saw Kingdom Hearts come out on PS2 after awhile. I then wrote an entire idea for an RPG Called shogun Blade.

My name is from om-nom-noms and lies!

I don't even remember...Maybe if I check those other "Why did you choose your username?".

Mmmm maybe because I can throw some decent arguments once in a while. Although, The idea of random is probably 100% random. However, ever since I've put that name a lot of people got "Random" in their names. Bunch of copy cats.

Oh well, NewClassic likes it and that's fine by me.

well mine is real nerdy.
yersina pestis is the bacteria that causes the black plague.
that was taken on youtube so i used this

Cause Im a furry

But seriously...
Im into Animal Conservation to the point ive made trips to conservation projects, studied the behavioral patterns and biology of many animals and volunteered at my local zoo so I thought I should have a name with my passion. My orginal name was going to be (Wolf Kitsune) but it was taken so I went with my secound favorite animal "Fox"

Thus Fox KITSUNE was born

The Kitsune part is from my study of Japanese Mythology and Inari worship (another passion of mine) so I thought it would fit.

-End-

Just a nickname I got from my friends Mikey and Adam. I use it for almost everything.

A misspelling of Xan Kriegor, final character you face in Unreal Tournament and who reappears in UT2004.

HMS Iron Duke; it just sounded cool when I read it in the newspaper.

Mine comes from an amplitude remix I played online. It kept repated 1-2,1-2-3,1-2,1-1 and it got stuck in my head forever.

People view the world as they view themselves.

I view everyone as noobs, naabs, nubs, etc.

therefore i named myself such.

Mine comes from one of the mission modes in Ninja Gaiden Black. I seem to have a thing for the numbers 24 and 64 as well.

War Penguin was an internet show I designed that wasn't as good as I expected but the name stuck.

Well My Ex called me SilverHair(on the account that it was bleached from a summer at the beach and pool)
and my best friend calls me a dolphin because im a swimmer

It's my three initials and the size and model of my families boat.

The "NLK" part was from a hellsing manga where it read No-Life King (i just shortened it) and the "4711" was from G Gundam

Name I randomly pulled out of my ass to use in some browser online game, like, 5 years ago. Or perhaps it was a MUD, I don't remember. I've used it for the past few years in quite a few games, WoW included - although for an alt.

Not using it anywhere else consistently, linking myself with a single (i assume) fairly rare name all over the internet kind of defeats the whole anonymity thing, eh?

It's one of five different usernames I use for any site that I join.

For specifics, I am funny, I bring comedy to places.

Alternatively, I could not be funny, and I am in desperate need of comedy to feel the void.

But that is a lie.

Yes.

I thought "air" looked cooler with a y, and then I got really into classic rock, like the band Air Supply. So, I just switched around the y and i and it looked fancy.

My name is a literal faceroll on the keyboard while trying to figure out a name for Battle.net.

If you say yours aloud, It sounds a little like "kickass".
