Re: Where did your username come from?

Back when Get Low came out by Lil' Jon and the Eastside Boys came out, I was in like 5th grade I believe.

Originally, I was gonna make an email being Lil_Paul_the_Eastside_Man@yahoo[dot]com, my name being Paul Eastman.

Never went through with the Email, but I decided to keep the eastsideman part, and added 09 as it's the year I graduated high school.

[Gigispackles]

Re: Where did your username come from?

I used to make up names/words A LOT 2 years ago. I'd keep making up random stuff and blurt it out to confuse people. I was playing a game and then I thought of Gigispackles randomly. I became fond of it and kept it. About 5 months after making it, I found out that Gigi is a name for some foreign people, first or last, and spackle is some type of marble tile. =P

I pronounce it with a hard G and the "i" is pronounced like in the word "pit". People often pronounce it has "Jeejee".

[A2P]

Re: Where did your username come from?

initials are AAP. One day I decided to be a huge math nerd in 7th grade and say "hay A*A = A^2!" so AAP = A^2P

...but I'm not that huge of a math nerd so I cut out the ^ in it and leave it as A2P. I've been stickin with it ever since.

Re: Where did your username come from?

yeah, there was another thread for this a while back

as for my name, take 3 guesses, the first one doesn't count

I would've made a new account long ago, this name sucks, but it has too much age to it for me to leave it behind

Re: Where did your username come from?

{Midnight} is my favorite song by Cornandbeans, the Xx part was just because {Midnight} alone is boring.

On a side note my alt Xx{Requiem}xX Has the same format Xx{}xX but the Requiem part of the name comes from I am Ghost's album "Lover's Requiem."

[Zyroplex]

Re: Where did your username come from?

It all began eight years ago on Neopets...
I needed a name, but I was a very uncreative preteen, so I tried "SomeGuy". Alas, it was taken, so I added a few digits, and "Someguy12" was born.

Next came Yahoo email. For that account name, I wanted something that represented me, so I took three of my favorite things (math, chess, and Dungeons and Dragons), and put them on a line. Hence "mathchessdnd" was born.

One fortuitous birthday, I was presented with Starcraft. It bugged me that players online would call out "laglaglaglaglaglaglaglag" when it was always obvious to everyone that the game was lagging. I changed my name to "CaptainObvious" so I wouldn't feel bad commenting about it.

Then my friends introduced me to the world of MMORPGs... specifically, Runescape. "CaptainObvious" was too long. Around this time, I had been replaying some console RPGs and had grown a knack for naming characters. Soon, I was proudly controlling "ChiefOluk" around cyberspace.

I started FFR as a spread player. Then I saw how many incredible spread-players there are (people can AAA 9s no problem, let alone 10s and 11s, and that's simply ridiculous). After seeing some inspiring onehanded videos, I decided to try it myself on an alternate account--"ChiefOlukOneHand". Unfortunately, the alt became my main, and I didn't want a stupid "onehand" tag attached to my main, so I scrapped the account in favor of my local ITG name, "Zyroplex".

Why Zyroplex? Because I'm awesome at making names. And it sounds like "Cryosleep" and "Infernoplex". And "ZYRO" fits when saving scores in ITG.
