i made up this superhero alter-ego when i was a kid, his main power being he was bulletproof, although, then having a slight speech-impediment and also swedish being my native tounge, it came out something like "boulitt-meoaf" ... and for some reason my sis came to think of that a few years back (20 years after it appearing), and i just kinda re-spelled it and now i use it practially anywhere. never seen anyone else use it, so it makes it easy on picking "original" usernames, you know ;D

My name is Joseph (or Joe) and I love the Colorado Avalanche NHL team (the Avs). I put those two together back in 2003 and have used it as a username for everything ever since.

evolved from my Planetside names. Depending on the server, i was Xsbodyguard or Doksguard, because on those servers the friend I played with most was named MrX/MadDok (again, depending on the server). Once I stopped playing Planetside, I still liked the name Bodyguard, but I died alot. So, bodyguarddied. It makes sense in my head...

1. I live on the out skirts of the city of hereford (England)
2. This is the Escapist
3. I am a man

All my other user names follow the same rule (but with different things replacing the "Escapist" part)

This has been my gaming handle for almost a decade now. It's the culmination of butchering the Japanese language by smooshing two Japanese words together. Aku - "Wicked" and Kaishi - "A Mysterious Death"

I was a teenager, and it sounded cool. It just stuck, after that.

Daniel Brown is my self-given internet/stage name that is a modified version of an older nickname that I didn't want to go by anymore.

I thought of my old one before back in Elementary school and used it ever since. But my new name since I changed it around a month ago was something I also thought up off before in the past as well. I've been told my newer one is better than my old one.

If you're tired of answering this question, then why did you even open the thread in the first place? It's like going to a hospital and complaining that there are sick people near you.
Because unlike going to a hospital, what I did lets the OP know that the search bar exists and how he should use it before posting a thread. It also lets everyone else now that this topic has been one of the most overdone ones in Escapist history. Seriously, I see a thread exactly like this maybe once a week.

An old Neopets account.

Which itself came from two words which were not "Jelly". My plan was to have the finest jelly collection in that game.

It was assigned to me by Number One for all of my services in the field and making use of my resources as best as possible. And so, on that day, I joined the ranks of FalloutGreg, FalloutDave, FalloutBob, and FalloutJohn...the only members of the Enclave allowed to have names.
