I just looked up the 4pp list of moderators one day, looking for a username (I dont remember what for). Then I picked out two of them, it was either jamradar or davethezombie. Guess which one I picked.

I have no goddamn idea where I came up with the name "Broken Orange" I wish that I could tell you that. My old "default" username was Maddness209, purposely misspelt with two D. I got the idea from the flash series Madness Combat and later I relize that I had misspelt it, but I decide to go along with it.

My user name "Tirone" came about before I realized that Tyrone is a stereotypical name for a black man. It was a combination of two original characters' names: Tyro, and Prian. A cookie for anyone who can figure out the significance to the number 231

Something to do with the 2 characters.

it was a magic the gathering card, which i thought looked really cool, from the game perspective it's not all that but i really liked the drawing.

I started putting one of my AIM names through a translator (any and all languages) and Crudus is latin for green. I liked the way it sounded so I went with it.

Well kiddies back when MMO's were still new and there was nosuch thing as WoW there was this little game called Tibia, it had no sound, no music, 2D, with four classes...ANYway some thirteen years ago my friend invited me into the beta, the game had a random name generater that is still around and STILL better than the one in WoW today, Jukofux was the first name on the list it came up with (ya you click random name it gives you a freaking LIST) and its stuck with me for over a decade, sidenote: the games archer class was called Paladins...I was very confused

TyraindXX is just the zerg-like species in Warhammer 40k that I find (along with the Tau) to be slightly badass while not being some religious nutcase or something. The X's came about when my name was already used on some website or another.

I chose something that sounded nice, and I play games a lot, so gamer sounded nice. And John just went with that really well (doesn't have anything to do with me or anyone in my immediate surrounding area though). And because nobody had pickid it yet, naturally. Nobody wants numbers in their name right? (blink, blink, nod, nod:D)

I drove by a business called Darque Tan and I kept thinking to myself "that's an interesting way to spell 'dark.'" I first started using it with online music games so I added "DJ" to the front of it and I've used it for just about anything ever since.

My Username is pretty self explanitory I don't currently work or recieve an education so I have more time than I know what to do with and a play on the old saying

As for my Gamertag upcloseanddead, since moretimethansense wouldn't fit.
It's a play on up close and personal with the double implication of "If I get close you're dead" and "as long as I don't let you get close I'll be fine"

My Psn name thecreepingdark I liked The Darkness so sue me.

the first bit is an uncommon version of my first name
the second bit reflects my second name somewhat

my real name can be translated as "he who is godlike son of nothing" :p

i've used this name on the net for a long, long time tho tbh mikozero is a fallback and i usually go simply by miko but it was already taken here.
