This is original...this is very common amongst RTS forums though
Anyways, I have 2 names really.
My RTS and RPG names are GeorgeCusterd - spelt wrong on purpose....I liked the guy and my rank in a clan I was in or wanted to be in/establish was Major/LT COL. Its real strange, idk
thebronxbomber - It means the New York Yankees because their stadium is in the Bronx and they bombed the hell out of 27 World Series'. (And for the general winningness of their seasons )
Errr, even though baseball isnt my favorite sport, football is, my other alternative was the G-Men or Big Blue because thats the New York Giants' nicknames. But, come on, thats lame
So thebronxbomber it is. If baseball weren't around, my name would be thebigblue or bigblue or g-man or something lol.
Anyways, enjoy the topic!

Well, Darkbrother was passed down from a very long line of people. The old kings of Narnia themselves at one point had Darkbrother 1,2 and 5. Then over the years more Darkbrothers were made. Once there was a great war to decide who would be made the Darkbrother21, it was a long and bloody battle thousands were killed and thousands more were injured. It turned out that the emperor of Japan was Darkbrother23. Then Darkbrother24 was used by a unknown assassins group that killed the whole French royal family. Darkbrother25 was used by JC Denton himself. Then I Dylan came into existence and had to fight Dagoth Ur for the name. At the end of the fight I kicked him to the edge of a cliff and said "Any last words?" He said "GO TO HELL!" then I shot him the forehead with my Nambu and his body went tumbling down the cliff side while I shot him in the kneecap with my Tokarev, and I was proclaimed forever more, Darkbrother26.
The actually story, I was into Oblivion at the time and named myself after the Darkbrother hood and 26 is just cool. Well my favourite number is 6 and the 2 is just there for looks.

Stook, (pronounced Stew-k) is to this day what most my friends call me. It is a play on my last name. In high school the plate on my 72 chevelle had DASTOOK on it. A gift from a friend... the registered plate not the car. The "Da" was to replace "the" because THESTOOK would not fit on a plate.

Pig Mazurka was the king of the "Pig" type enemies in the Nintendo DS game The World Ends With You.
After you beat the game a special area opened up where you would fight the Pig enemies one by one, leading up to Pig Mazurka.
The first being Pig Samba.
The second being Pig Cha-cha.
The third is Pig Carol.
Fourth, Pig Salsa.
Pig Jig.
Pig Rhumba.
The first of the three extremely hard ones, Pig Tango.
Another extremely difficult Pig, Pig Polka.
The hardest, only taking one hit to kill you no matter what difficulty you played on, Pig Butoh.
My personal favorite, also being showcased in my signature, the King of Pigs.
My avatar is also an enemy in the game as well, but isn't any more relevant.
- Pig

Well my first name was : thedeathofdawn
I came up with it in AoE3. Not sure how it was made - it's just kinda cool!
Then I went to 13th, my name was long, I felt like a change. I was interested in cool names and i thought of zero. Unfortunately ZERO was already in use in this forum so i made it ZΣRO.
So now im ZΣRO - The Death of Dawn (to stop light from the sun to earth).
Known in Japan as - Mirasukê
lol.

I have gone my many aliases I started out being called "El Conquistadork" to "Squishy Cotton butt" both were nicknames from various friends of mine. Anyway in 2006 I started playing Gears of War mp and progressed quickly through the ranks causing "Havoc" with the chainsaw bayonet. So then my friends just started calling me Hav0k569 which has just stuck with me

WELL, I was on my way to the kitchen one day to acquire an enjoyable treat, when to my surprise I found myself in a sprawling landscape of fire and brimstone, faint screams echoed in the distance. I walked on for a while, in a daze, until I came to the foot of a great mountain.
"WHO DARES TREAD FOOT UPON MY SACRED LAND" A thunderous voice boomed out of seemingly everywhere.
"It is I! The nameless hungry guy!" I responded, a feeling of impending dread taking hold of my gut.
Suddenly, the ground began to tremble and shake with an immeasurable amount of intensity, and a mighty dragon emerged from the peak of the mountain and swooped downward towards me, creating an immense gale that swept me off of my feet.
*CRASH!!*, the massive demon had smashed into the barren wasteland and stared at me with his equally massive eyes that burned with the intensity of one thousand suns...
"WHY ARE YOU HERE, PUNY MORTAL?" The beast boomed.
"I was on my way to the kitchen for an enjoyable treat and got lost." I responded.
The creature stared me down...
"YOU ENDED UP IN THE 12TH PLANE OF TORMENT, ON YOUR WAY TO THE KITCHEN?"He asked, enraged.
I looked back at him...
... and said "I am not a clever man.".
I then called "AGRO" and my trusty steed flew through time and space, emerging majestically, directly in front of me. I jumped on his back, pulled out my sword, and thrusting it into the air I yelled "TODAY IS NOT A GOOD DAY TO DIE!" and with that, the battle began.
Agro Galloped towards the monstrous demon, dodging fire balls and geysers of pure molten lava with god-like finesse as I blasted the massive meteors falling from the sky with my bow and arrow. As we came next to the abomination I stood up on Agro's back, still holding the reigns and jumped, latching onto one the beasts scales, I began to climb.
After several grueling minutes I reached it's head, but to my surprise the dragon had some weird flaming spider monsters on it so I drew my sword and stabbed them! After all the spider monsters were dead I approached the weak spot and plunged my blade deep within the foul demons skull and it let loose an incredulous roar that shook the very heavens.
I began my descent.
Actually I just jumped off and landed on Agro.
The end.
As for how I got my name, it was originally just "Gog" as an abbreviation for "Greater of Gods" which was my Guild Wars: Factions user name. I know, really bad name but I literally spent 10 minutes trying for names and eventually took a suggestion. Shut up.
The 27's just there because I like the number 27. Hence the Gog27.
I've always thought my name to be quite aesthetically pleasing and original as well as telling a story (To me at least), without needing those generic "xXXXxxXxxX"'s or the other 87 bajillion over used and meaningless abbreviations. I like it, at least.

My GT on XBL was initially SupAhShyGuy like it is here on the forums because I used to not use a microphone in XBL. Communication was dead to me, hence I was a little shy.
However, it just stuck with me.
When it came to getting real good at CoD:WaW, the buddies I used to play with usually had gamertags with the first word being some adjective ending in "Y" followed by a purposely misspelled BagaDonits.
So I had some buddies named ShadyBagaDonits, JuicyBagaDonits... and 20 others with the same motif. Therefore on XBL nowadays, I'm CrazyBagaDonits. I would like to change back to SupAhShyGuy for the purposes of being SupAhShyGuy on both forums and on XBL, but alas, it isn't worth $10.

My orignal name was: haololo hao: An old friend. lo lo: A song I used to sing as a kid.
Ah the day PaddieBear was created...the day I saw this show....
I first started with this name on BFH a long time ago on this account...which was hacked sadly.
I then soon began a trend of different things like PaddieBear, PaddingtonBear, PaddBear, and PaddiBear.
I then found my true calling...BEAR was to be my signature name any account that I had would from there on be known as (SOMETHING) Bear.

A Souljah is a concatenation of Junglist Souljah. The term comes from a slang term first referring to a person living in a West Kingston, Jamaica area called Concrete Jungle. It's now used to refer to Oldschool Jungle / Ragga Jungle heads, two styles of music I'm fond of and listen to every day.
The E on the end is a reference to Soldier E, the only survivor of an IED attack in Afghanistan in which three of his comrades were killed, probably due to them travelling in a Snatch Land Rover. The lightly armoured vehicle's vulnerability to roadside bombs and other explosives has led some soldiers to call it the "mobile coffin".

My forum name muchosmerc comes from my surname being Mercer, so people would call me "Merc" (Pronounced Mers) and the mucho bit means "a lot/very" and is a corruption of the Spanish word as in "Muchas Gracias". Hence the legend was born.
My gamertag also funnily enough comes from Jamaican culture. A rudeboy is the the equivalent of calling someone a badass. And the EZ bit is as in "Easy now rudeboy". (Though technically being British I should pronounce it "E Zed".)

This has been explained elsewhere in the threads but dtiger29 is derived from the dragon and tiger. These two creatures are the primary focus of the Kempo Karate fighting style. I for many years studies martial arts, one of them being Kempo. I was facinated by the quick hand movements and devastation it can cause. So it was either dtiger or tdragon, and dtiger rolls off the tongue better. And 29 is the date of the month I was born in.
BTW x2ohfive, I too am a huge Bond fanatic. Nice to see I'm not alone.
