'And I'm Here Too' came about when I realized that I usually don't stand out from everyone else; I'm just sort of there, an observer, not really participating in any meaningful way. In the group but not part of the group, so to speak.

'Sir Kekington' and 'Lord Keksworth' were the result of a friend and I agreeing that 'kek' sounded like British slang and proceeding to joke about possible names involving the term.

When Bungie announced that Destiny had a 'loremaster' somebody on here, can't recall who, commented that 'plotmaster' sounded sinister, so I shamelessly stole that as my username.

Everything after has been either a partial or currently entire reference to Metal Gear.

Jono · September 17, 2015, 03:26:53 AM

When I was younger and a noob about to use Xbox Live, I put "Jono" in for a gamertag suggestion. The option "HundredJono" showed up and I picked that one for some reason, can't really remember why. HundredJono has been my Xbox Live gamertag, PSN name, Steam name, and my name on Blizzard games. I never could come up with another name so I just stuck with this.

HundredJono was my profile name on old Bnet and when the site update happened, I changed my name to just Jono.

Numb Digger is an obvious spoonerism on "Dumb Nigger". When I initially joined this site I thought it was going to be full of uppity assholes that I'd seen one too many times in the Warframe community, so I was going to try trolling. Turns out I was wrong, and well, here I am today. I typically go by the alias Staticmesh Wav these days, however.

Connoisseur of Dicks was a name Officer Nasty suggested.

Super Irish · September 17, 2015, 04:19:47 AM

My old email was superirish1995@(either yahoo or aol).co.uk, and 95 got cut off because it was too long for Runescape.

Then I just removed the 19 altogether.The username Superirish just came about because I'd just moved from Ireland, and any silly ol' connection keeps me "grounded" there. Or at least, that's what I thought when I was 10.

Used to be "tr sargent" because my friend had a gang/clan/club/whatever-you-want-to-call-it and the whole theme was (TheResistance) [Military Rank]. And I fucked up both of them at 13 and refused to pay to fix it.

Mat Cauthon · September 17, 2015, 05:23:40 AM

It's part of my name.

velox · September 17, 2015, 06:18:53 AM

Well, back on bnet I wanted to try a different posting style but didn't want to potentially ruin any "reputation" (stupid, I know) so I created a new account.

I named that account Cerulean Velox as I wanted it to mean "Blue Fox", but I ucked up with that (I took Velox from Vulpes Velox, the latin mae of the Swift Fox. Turns out it just means swift, not fox)

I then liked how the new moniker made me more relaxed in my posting style, so I renamed my main to True Velox, to signify that it was the "True" version of me.

And then when I wanted a name change here I adopted the Cerulean part by itself.

Mother ogre gave Dogruk name.

Was a place holder.

Kind of liked it, then I find this

Right, also just remembered that the True part was inspired by Tru.

Mr. Psychologist · September 17, 2015, 08:52:27 AM

It's a three part joke/thing that I went with after the B.linding.

So unless my memory fails me, the blinding was january 2013 (might have been 12 but pretty sure it was 13) which meant that I'd been studying psychology for about a year and a half at that point, and I was reasonably sure I'd be going into psychology so that was that part of it.

Unfortunately I was also depressed as shit at that point and I was getting ready to die a shamefurl death if the results of the january exams came back as shit. They weren't great but better than I thought, psychology was actually pretty good considering I had just winged all of my exams out of resignation. So rather than an heroing, I figured I'd just say bollocks to sixth form and go and do a degree in psychology anyway. I mean on paper I pulled out because of health reasons, which isn't exactly inaccurate, I just don't really make a big show of the health reasons being mental illness as opposed to being a rotting walking corpse.

So as I'm sure some of you are aware, when you are in the gutter the internet is a pretty nice place to live. I spent damn near all day everyday on Bnet at that time and to help keep myself focussed on the psychology studies rather than shitposting I went with the name because that's what I intended to be.

The other hidden joke of it, is because I'm not exactly the most well grounded of individuals regarding certain things - Psycho fits quite nicely in the username.

But, in two years time - I'll have actually earned the username that I've purloined and uh I'll have to think of a new one really because I think it'd be kind of pretentious to have your job title as your username. Funny how that works really, but I guess I'd just go with Psy at that point.

That is, assuming this place is still around then >_>
Or at the very least, I still speak to some of you loveable gooks.
