I would always defend the original xbox against the ps2 on forums and when I got in an argument with a sony fanboy he said that microsoft probobly pays me to say those things so when I started here on the escapist I made my name MicrosoftPaysMe

Made up a character when I was seven, it got trashed when I was eight, but I always liked the name.

If I remember, he was an Inuyasha rip-off with a sprinkling of DBZ attire. And he was lion-demon, instead of dog.

...Why do I feel this thread wasn't search bar approved? I could've sworn I've seen this before...

Renzor is the name of my Sorcerer in DnD. I tried getting the party into Chult [DnD's version of the rainforest. filled with giant, talking, evil snakemen who use swords.] however, I fuged up and rolled a one, causing us to end up in the frozen north [DnD's...well you get the Idea]. Since then, iv been hoping the escapist gives me a position of responsibility, so that I can fail at it. miserably.

I have always been referred to as "Tigger" by buddies of mine. Then the first Gears came out and I fell in love with Dom. He became the Trunks to my Goten, if you will.

Dominic Santiago + Tigger = ElTigreSantiago.

One of the hardest bosses in the game. (tales of symphonia) so I decided to name it after him. I mean what's cooler then a tough as nails backstabbing ninja super boss? (chuck norris but I have a feeling that might be taken) And I always find it funny how people butcher the name over XBL. It's pronounced as it sounds

Well when Ifirst got my 360 I did my account through my PC instead of through my 360 so I wasn't eligible for the free month of gold. So my handle was usually squidward5580 (the 5580 being the last 4 digits of my mom's phone number so I don't forget) and since I couldn't use squidward again I shortened it. And that is my online handle for everything now.

I honestly spend about 3 months thinking of a cool name for this site but I thought it had all been done but i saw the Grimfandango cover in my room and throught 'what the hell' it took my about 70 minutes of weather to include the 92 or not. sigh

I got mine from the MP44 / STG. 44 rifle. It was the first assault rifle, and it was used in WWII. I suppose it could be a long way for saying 'The Original'. Although that wasn't my intention.

Couple of writers I pal around with on MSN, we all gave each other LOTRO-esque names based on either our username or real name. Back then I was just "Gade", and that was changed to "Gadeladriel". Theirs were "Aramir of Gondor", "Roan of Rohan", and "Toron Bombadil"

I was in a cab and the drivers name was Alimuzzaman. I immediately knew I had to use it as a screen name in something, so the next time I signed up for something, I tried to type it in. I accidentally typed a "b" at the beginning and noticed it when "balimuzz" was typed out. As I was about to delete the "b" I realized that I liked the ring of "balimuzz," so I stuck with it.

By typing my sheer, radiant brilliance into 'Desired Username.'

Imagine that!

On a less facetious note, MGS reference? Like, duh.
