Press Junketeer  Posts: 399 Joined: 28 Sep 2009  | My pay in my summer job in college for cutting grass along the road in the blazing hot sun was $6.95/hour. Somehow that morphed to 695 and was an "inside" joke amongst the student crew for having to do crappy jobs (yeah, some parts were worse than others). I tried to adopt that for PSN, but it wouldn't let me. I tried other variants including six95, six-95, etc... but the one that ended up working was the strange s69-5. It's stuck ever since. |

I was taking the "gik-SAS" approach. Your ways good to, though, and I like how you came up with it. Very creative. |

Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 552 Joined: 31 Aug 2009  | The Shoggoth is a Lovecraftian horror which is mentioned in many of his short stories and takes a larger role in a couple of his others. Manufactured by a race who ruled Earth several million years ago, The Shoggoths soon became self aware and slaughtered their makers. The Shoggoth is a shape-shifter of sorts and looks like an [I believe] 2 meter amoeba. It is able to change it's shape, mass, and physical properties. I think they are neat ^^ As for the numbers, that is my birthdate |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4362 Joined: 8 Jan 2009    | Mine came from me trying and failing repeatedly to make an email account. Penguin, megapenguin, and megapengi were all taken. In a last ditch effort, I just decided to stick an X at the end of my name and be done with it. I've used it as my internet personality ever since. So if you ever see a user by my name, chances are 99% that it's me. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2638 Joined: 28 May 2009   | I was making an Air Gensasi for a tabletop rpg. I wanted to use my own name and make it sound like an appropriate name for such a race, something that sounds like it's whispered by the wind itself. So I ended up with Woem. |
