I stole it from a guy on a maplestory fan forum.
In like 2007, for some reason I decided I'd name myself after this boss from Super Mario 64 (a game which I had not even played at the time) [IMG]http://www.mariowiki.com/images/thumb/e/e3/Eyerok64.png/250px-Eyerok64.png[/IMG] However, I thought it was spelt Irock, not Eyerok. Skip a year and I'm banned from that website for whatever reason, I then join Roblox and decide to add a z because I was 9 and it sounded cool at the time. Somehow, it stuck.
I really liked Portal back then.

My dad always shortened my name to "Deckie", so I added my last initial to it.
I'm not very original. My old account on here was meng(which was my brother's 'go to' internet name(which came from one of his teachers, Mr. Menglander) but then I forgot the password. So I just changed the 'e' to a 'y'. Myng isn't my 'go to' internet name, that mantle belongs to Highland MacGreggor. Highland MacGreggor also came from my brother. Apparently in middle school his gym teacher said some shit about not popping the basketballs, or Highland MacGreggor would come to the school and punish you. Allegedly, it's a basketball company, but after many searches, I've never found proof of it's existence. I'm not at all scottish, however, probably for his red hair, the name makes me think of nigel thornberry, so all my avatars have become him, due to this name.
I was watching weebl. and I think a dugong with a hat is silly. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXm1ICO8Nec[/media]
originally went under the pseudonym of Solidus, but I hanged around too many british people who pronounced it "soleedus". the 3rd 'e' is because my first attempt to register as Soleedus broke and I never received my email, so I redid it as Soleeedus and here I am
Oh, no reason in particular. [sp]I tagged a bunch of drawings as for no reason back in the day, and just used that for shit from then on. Now the character that appears in all of my avatars is actually named 'For No Reason' or 'FNR'[/sp]
I liked playing TF2 and at the time I liked playing Medic and going by just Medic wasn't enough so I added a Dr._
Since I now got a new name, here we go. I wanted something similar to "Havel". After some brainstorming, i got up with the name "Havolis" I'm happy with it now.
"Sockhead" was my first username online which quickly became shortened to "Sock" out of laziness, with "FC" standing for "Foot Cloth".
I was listening to the radio chatter from the Nova Prospekt combine and thought it sounded cool. [quote]Hardpoint nomad, reactivate perimeter restrictors and report. Hardpoint nomad, reactivate your perimeter restrictors and report. Nomad, get those restrictors back on line, your sector shows active biotics.[/quote] I wanted to go with Hardpoint Shadow because it sounded somewhat cooler, glad I didn't because looking back now, I probably would've sounded like one of those [b]UNGHHH ANGSTYYY[/b] teenage kids [quote]Hardpoint shadow report blackout status. Hardpoint shadow report blackout status. Hardpoint 139 is oneway. Hunter 6, detatch, sweep and confirm. .[/quote] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiqKNvBy_Oc[/media]
Thought about web safety. They said to pick names and personas that had no relation to you irl. Picked this after I thought that I did not want to pick a name I'd regret. I don't regret it.
well i wasnt born a genius ok
used to go by the name Onecanofsprite as a joke as I grew older I wanted to change it a bit, so I took inspiration from a friend on another website called thatguy hence, That Sprite
My nickname in real life is J Money, J Millz, and/or J Millicent. I shortened J Money to J$ and tacked on "Psychotic" because that is my online name. I used to be called PAWN, Invictus, and Mr. Teatime (from the old Christmas movie, Hogfather)

I was about 9 and I was thinking about what letters sounded the coolest, and I came up with Z, K and N. I tried to throw them together into a word and I got Zakkin. It stuck. Nowadays I usually stick by Waffles Mgee on many other websites and on steam. Waffles because I often used the weebl waffle icon - [img]http://www.weebls-stuff.com/images/previews/387_waff.gif[/img] as an avatar (Later remade by yours truly into my current one), and McGee because I thought it sounded good. Got rid of the C because I felt like it didn't fit. Waffles Mgee.
ninja gnome came from when i tried to play world of warcraft as a young child. the first character i picked was a gnome rogue because i was told rogues were like ninjas. never actually played it, but i picked "ninja gnome" as my online name and that stuck. for steam and a few other sites, tony hawk came from not where you would expect. i was pretty high one time and playing tf2, and i swear to god it felt like i was playing a first person tony hawk. i changed my steam name to "Tony Hawk" and it stuck. it went through several other permutations, starting with "Tony Hawk aka Chef Boyardee" and it all went downhill from there. i'm now pretty much always "Tony Hawk aka *something*"
This was the second username i did for myself, i thought it up when i joined the Section 8 forums. I just wanted something that sounded cool (always thought that the english word viper soudned badass), as well as something basic that showed my nationality. After that i just kept it, i've used this variant and ViperSWE on several different places.
I wanted to distance myself as far from some bullshit that went down on SomethingAwful as possible. So I remembered a Photoshop I had done on SA of Jesus wearing the helmet of Galactus, about to devour the world (my current avatar), and thought JESUS OF THE ATOMIC AGE sounded cool. Of course, that was too many letters. So NuclearJesus seemed like a fitting substitute. Unfortunately, I didn't do a Google search first, so I didn't realize that it was being used on other sites. So for Twitter, YouTube, etc, I go by NuclearJesusMan, because it sounds like a name for a terrible superhero. And that makes me smile.
When i was younger, my family were really poor. We only had cheap-ass clothes. Half of them stolen. 90% of the clothes had the brand "Divided"
I was young and had shitty names, found this group of friends in this HL2DM Co-op server i used to regular at. Their names were basically a color, killer monkey and then a name after words. I stole it as "blue killer monkey boo" and they raged out of the server. After a while its just became killer monkey.
This goofball: [thumb]http://www.hrwiki.org/w/images/a/a4/NewestHomestar.png[/thumb] But it mainly started as my AOL username.
Back in 2000, I made it up to play Quake 3 Mutliplayer. Probably a merger between Data and Megabyte, I don't really remember. It's carried on since then.

I like nachos.
My real first name is Juraj (pronounced Yuray, equivalent of Russian Yuri if you like), and for the same reason that Richard is shortened as Dick, Juraj is shortened as Duri (no fucking reason at all). Drury is one of the better derivations that my sister came up with. And the way some people pronounce Juraj makes me look like I'm in Al-Khaeda or something.
