It's my gamertag. It's actually the name of a Chinese Restaurant in my town. My two other friend both have different chinese places as their gamertags.

originly J3llyman223 but it got boring so i typed in Fallen Angel taken. typed in Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon cus there oposites (an angel gone bad a demon gone good which is rare) sounds good and for some reson it reminds me of the film crouching tiger hidden dragon? only use it on the escapist tho but that'l change soon.

I like Ratchet and Clank, I like trivia, and I like jokes that almost nobody has picked up on.

Thus a username was born.

Dommius is just the name I use for alot of things. My ps3 and xbox gamertags, the name of any stealth based characters for any kind of game whether it be MMO or single player. I just like the name. Though everyone online seems to pronounce it Dom-eh-nus. Like there is some mysterious N hidden there...

Mines from The Simpsons, they spell it differently, and I added the Lord after an epic victory in Halo 2 vs my friends.

Eicha is the Hebrew name for the book of Lamentations. It sounds pretty cool.

I liked making Forge Maps, LBP maps, and Line Rider 2 maps. So I adopted the name Cartographer. I added a random number at the end.

I was setting up a profile for this site and when it came to the username, I had no idea what to put and I didn't feel like using my email (not very creative) so I ended up putting some random stupid thing and then about 2 hours later I thought of one of the most random and obscure game references ever, The bread is delicious. It comes from Medal of Honor: Frontline when you find a piece of bread it actually says that at the bottom of the screen and the first time I saw it I ended up laughing my ass off. So I went back and changed it. Still regret not thinking of it in the first place, but I plan on sticking with it for awhile.

Well I said to myself "If you choose a Username, it has to be witty and snarky"

So I chose "Snarky Username"

It's a combination of 'Ree' and 'Phoenix'. 'Ree' is part of my surname and it sounds cute so >:3

I looked at my Xbox Live avatar. To be frank, yes, I did know that the name would be stupid to put and I honestly did not expect to be on here for so long. Now though, I've been around for a good 16 months though, I don't have the heart to change it. It's grown on me.

I didn't put much thought into it, I just wanted something faintly ridiculous. I imagined a well to do sort dropping his monacle into his drink when I thought of it, so I went with that.

I made it when I just started realizing that I didn't like Eminem (aka "Slim Shady"). Since I didn't want to immediately piss off every Eminem fan out there, I added an 8 in there.
