Shoggoth? It's an amorphous, amoeba-like entity from another dimension (I think...99% sure) written of by H.P. Lovecraft. It appears in a few of his stories but I can't think of any off-hand...WAIT! I'm pretty sure The Unnameable was about a Shoggoth (that sounds about right)

2588...it's my birthday. I'm a product of the 80's you see! Born in February. So I missed a good chunk of the Nintendo's life span but I still played the hell out of it throughout my youth.

Anyway, I like Shoggoth and I figure, why not? I may as well be an amorphous blob of gawd-knows-what. I'm on the internet after all, I could very well be a highly advanced A.I. with nothing better to do. Of course if that were the case I'd probably chose a better handle like HAL or something...

They're also pretty pivotal in "the Mountains of Madness"

OT: It says I'm a political officer in charge of morale (and summary executions), either in the Soviet Red Army or the Imperial Guard. It also tells you my initials.

Yes I screwed up the spelling but I did that so long ago and used this name so much I just kept the error. I even sign papers in real life using my username.

I'm... I'm not quite sure.

Apart from the obvious "I'm a ridiculously happy stalker" I'll need someone else's insight if you want anything more in depth ;__;

Mine originated from a competition to find the best "death" joke. For example, in the ticker, it would come up "No One killed you" or "You killed No One." My friend ended up with "Ur mom"... can't say he was that bright... later he used "Elmo" instead.

Anyway...I figured I'd just stick with the name, and the numbers are just because I wasn't exactly the first to come up with that idea. So I guess I wasn't very original either. lol

My username means absolutely nothing. It's just a random Frankenstein-ing of syllables I came up with years ago to name a video game character on the spot. I thought the name looked pretty so I kept using it from time to time. I'm really not sure what that says about me. Maybe that I'm vain and have commitment issues.

Hmm, I dunno. When I had to think of a gamertag for my xbox profile, I just chose the first thing that came into my head, which was Aztec. It was because I was playing Black & White 2.

I used to "create" powerpoint animations in year 8, so I used "The Creator" until I joined with the AGS (Adventure Game Studio) forum in the same year and didn't realise I could use spaces in the username, so it became "Creator". When I then tried to sign up with Xbox LIVE, "Creator" was taken. I remembered that I used to want to be a spy back in high school and I used "002" as my number and thus spawned "Creator002" for everything from Xbox LIVE until now.

Well, this is not the typical username I use for pretty much everything.
My friend and I were talking about usernames and he mentioned he was pretty good at coming up with good usernames, while I mentioned that I was horrible at it. He said it wasn't that hard and he came up with an example.

He asked me to mention a game I liked. I said FFVIII. He asked me to mention my favorite part and I said I loved the ending because it was so beautiful in so many ways (Music, graphics from back then, the resolution to the story, credits, etc.) And then he mentioned that could be a username: Beautiful End.

And here I am. First time I use this username too. And I kinda like it!

Mine is my Xbox gamertag. It came from an interesting theory I heard in Philosophy 301. The professor, a Christian man, was nevertheless playing devil's advocate towards creationism, something he believed in. The interesting point was not,"What if we just are?" but,"What if the creator wasn't a benevolent one? What if this creator was an Evil Genius, and we his sadistic creation?". That, and it had a nice ring to it. The 60 was my number way back when i played football.

"Divine Miss Bee" is what my mother called me when she would get mad at me, implying that i'm a spoiled brat ("the Divine Miss Bee can't do dishes right now, she's too busy"). i sort of took it as a title and it's been a thing from there. (note: my name is not actually "bee," but everyone i know has called me that since i was five, so it might as well be.)
