Mine is I3ehindI3luEyes. That's my XBL tag. Comes from the song done by The Who but the more well known version is done by Limp Bizkit. Good songs though.

Oh and Pearl Jam redid the song too... but it wasn't that good.

My screen name on here comes from the name of one of Soundgarden's albums.

You just have the Trifecta of Kickass going on, y'know that? Good name, good avatars, and good posts.
Flattery will get you nowhere good sir, but don't stop trying.
Benjeezy said:
Also, how did you come up with those other ones? On a whim?
Yep, I have this knack for coming up with stupid things on the spot.

I'll try and think of one now.

Got one!

It's the name of a song I wrote, 'The Miracle of Sound' about music and sex (the two best things in life) and it's also a reference to Soundwave, hence the avatar.

]Indeed it does, plus imahobbit sounded funny..to me.
I always remembered your username because I love LOTR too, and because it's such a funny contrast with your avatar, which is about as un-hobbity as it gets!

It's a good one, don't change it.

Mine is a bit obvious, I think so I'm not going to bother explaining to anyone who has ever played a game where it comes from! And I just like it as a username.
Pardon my ignorance but what is it from? I always just though your name was Jen and then something to do with Novas!

Mine originated while playing Aliens vs Predator 2 like 9 years ago.

The flamethrower on that game was extremely effective against aliens, so anyone one time i was being burnt by a marine while playing as an alien and just shouted out to a mate

"Ah my Nuts are being Toasted!!!"

I dunno why i said it im sure saying burnt would have sufficed but hey i thought it sounded funny and thus Toasted Nuts was created and used for any online game ive ever played, except Medal of Honor Allied Assault.

When registering for the Escapist, I couldn't think of a name to use. So I picked a random number (picked 4), closed my eyes and pulled out a random CD from my shelf (happened to be Deicide's "Legion"), went to the track number for the number I'd picked, and...there ya go.

Sorry to say no thought whatsoever went into it.

"Adrimor" sounds cool, so I used it for the name of my first furry character...

As for Steam names, "RobianStranger" comes from another character I made a bit later, "Robian" being my first and middle names smashed together (lol i r oreejinul) and "Stranger" because "Sconosciuto" is too long (and means "stranger" anyway, at least according to Google Trans1337). I'm also Sconosciuto on SMT: Imagine, at least on the very rare occasions I actually play it.

Annd I don't have an Xbox/360 or a PS3. \o/

Well... shocking story... to start with, I use this username everywhere I can
So if you see a greyfox105, it may be me. except on ebay *Shakes fist at name stealer*
Anyway, as to the origin...
Greyfox105 is my designation. I saw no reason to not use it everywhere else.
Ah, those Terrans, they have a sense of humour when it comes to replacing people...
That name actually looks familiar. Are you on FAF? :V
i fink u r oreejinul :D lol

FAF? ;~;
Please, refresh my memory, or say the full name.
My memory sucks. It is terrible, faulty, and needs to be replaced.

Yep, they're rather fun alright!

I'd link people the song but I don't think I have it on the web anywhere.

Furburt has a copy I think

It's kinda Bowie-esque upbeat rocky pop.

If anyone knows how I can put it into yoUTube I'll happily do that!

I use baggyn pretty much everywhere.
It's the first 4 letters of my last name + y + first letter of my first name

Also my dad uses baggym as his online userID so i stole the idea from him

I used Riobux for some random things, Rio came from the song Rio by Duran Duran and the "bux" part was just something that I thought would work.

My X-Box gamer tag just came from the good old method of "think of a colour, think of an item that would work with it, combine".
