From my e-mail address, "artillerymagnet"
Which was from Battlefield 2. Because I was once VERY unlucky with random artillery strikes on my head, usually when I was the only guy around.
( Of course, artillerymagnet sounds better than cardrop magnet too. :? )
So yeah. I started playing TF2, and hearing people on microphones having a hard time saying my name quickly, I shortened it.
Hence 'Tillery.

this goes way back once i started playing starcraft. WHEN i first started playing online my account name was NicktheLgger (couldnt shorten it). then i played a guy named kevin at my school and we would play over the phone connection and when we played his account was agent_kevin. he was a boss at the game and totally raped the bots so i decided to change my name to agent_nick. over the years i became a real good starcraft map maker and joined a top clan on USeast(Clan Oo) and im still part of it. in order for me to join i had to slim my name down to fit. Oo.AgenT.oO was born. soon i changed the capital T to the N to make Oo.AgeNt.oO and when i joined steam i wanted the short "Agent" part of it but have the _nick part so i did the best without saying my name. AgeNt_ was born.

mine is just a silly little play on words - sure, it's an online game, but I'm not really there - so I'm NotReallyHere - in game, most of my friends laugh at it when they see it... once we get a second computer set up for my son, he wants to be SonofNotReallyHere - which I'm proud to say I like!

This is actually my secondary username. Normally, I use Derivious (which I'll explain in a second). In a MMORPG called Guild Wars (which I still play now and again) I made a female monk character (who I still have) named Surnem Alro. I tried to make all my characters have interesting sounding names. One day I made my account for Steam and Derivious (23 people have used Derivious, and Derivious#... which kinda freaked me out) was already taken, so I thought: well, I have a bunch of original names from Guild Wars. I ran through the names and thought Surnem fit the best and was easiest to remember/spell correctly (compare to Ytonmo).

Derivious was a name that I made up for gaming in a RPG forum. The name was given to a character who was half-elf, half-dragon (which I think is pretty cool).

Fun fact: Over 100 people on Youtube have used the name Derivious. At least 20 have used Surnem. Of these, nobody with the name Derivious has posted a video, and only one person named Surnem (and this person doesn't even have a number) has posted, but he only has one Indian music video of some sort (and now I'm scared Surnem actually MEANS something in Indian).

DARN U DRACO U STOLED MaH 100TH POST RAWR. Back to the story.
I'm not gonna lie, my DOG came up with this name.(And no, it's not from the flash website phrozenflame.com that's complete coincidence.) I was playing TF2 one day when I randomly decided to change my name for some reason. While thinking of a name I went to go make lunch sincce I was getting kinda hungry. When I return I find my little dog typing on my computer with "phrozonfllame" for some reason. I just stuck with it.
GiroUrashima's my name so yeah...
And Trilby comes from... well...

It comes from that. A game. About STEALING. FOR I AM TRILBY, GENTLEMEN THIEF. And that's about it.

Duckwalk comes from a scene in the movie scarface where tony montana is talking about how hard it is to smuggle drugs into the states.

"What are you nuts? We still gotta take the shit to Florida. You know what thats like these days? They got the Navy all over the fuckin place. They got frogmen, they got EC 2's with satellite tracking shit in em, they got fuckin Bell 209 assult choppers up the ass, we are losing one out of every nine loads. its no duckwalk for us anymore, y'know."

the second part of my name was more just a joke back in sm, but i liked it and it kinda stuck. also it gives me something recognizable and fun to associate to my name so people remember me and lol at a mock infatuation of a pokeman.

My nick is a combination of "Ngorongoro" (A crater in Tanzania) and [if you couldn't figure it out] 'Dong'.

I used to use Ngorongoro, but because of certain factors about myself, the 'Do' got appended by several of my friends :p

Got my name from a short story called Xenocide, the story was amazing so i stole the name
but seeing as when i made this account i had misplaced the book i forget if it was breal or brael ( this one) so i made my forum name breal by accident


My name used to be shadowwolff for the longest time ( second f is cause shadowwolf was always taken so i jsut said screaw it and added the extra f to be consistent)
got shadowwolff based of off the tv show zoids where there was the bad ass fox called shadowfox
Wolf>fox
name made

for future reference its pronounced like the bumps blind people use to read

Previously my most-used name was "Whyareyouhaxxingme" (self explanatory ;D) But some places didn't accept such a long time, in which cases I settled for WAYHM. I was messing around later, decided not enough people knew the word "Meh", and defined it in a comedic essay. (Calling it an essay was basically a joke.) I also said that I'd define the term "Rawr", except that STILL hasn't happened >_> never will lol. Later, I thought of "MehPlusRawr" and preferably use that in most places.
