The profile I used on my xbox 360 before I had xbox live was just called Cheese. That was taken when I connected to xbox live for the first time so I just added on to that.

And I just liked the happy jumping grunt gif so I picked that

Username was coined by NoNeckin back in 09 for having smoked an uncanny amount of pot.

Avatar alludes to my insanity.

Mmmmm Napalm · July 28, 2014, 10:41:28 PM

Mmmmm Napalm is a reference to the quote "I love the smell of Napalm in the morning" from Apocalypse Now.

Regarding my avatar, Rorschach is one of my all-time favorite characters.

Kaiser has an obvious meaning
Versager means "failure" in German

Novice · July 28, 2014, 10:58:41 PM

The profile picture? It's really just because I wanted something funny. It also seems to let people know I'm just joking when I'm giving them shit.

The user name? Oh, that's a story that takes makes me type longer than I would like to.

Saleem · July 28, 2014, 11:00:33 PM

A lot of spare time and enormous amounts of boredom lead me to think up a universe. Saleem being one of the more significant characters. I don't feel like writing a paragraph on it.

Crouton · July 28, 2014, 11:14:57 PM

Great question, as I love waxing on about my prior e-fame .

What is a Crouton?

Well, I am, the name originated on World of Warcraft (Vanilla)...10 years ago? on Dethecus (a PvP server.) Originally I was in Nurfed, where I accrued some of my epeen.

For those not familiar with WoW Lore: Nurfed

After I left Nurfed, I wound up in Months Behind; MB was a legendary troll guild on Dethecus, in its day at least. It's there I learned the art of trolling, being trolled, and general hi-jinx. I found my initial bit of e-fame with this video:

YouTube

Not one word about the quality, this was made in 2006.

I hit Rank 14 (Hiigh Warlord) on Dethecus as a discipline priest, the video went viral as soon as I released it. 100k views on its first day was kind of a big deal at the time (2006). I reuploaded this video to youtube, just for this post so feel special.

Once I ended my prestigious WoW career I bounced around for a while and ended up playing CoD competitively for a while, things never took off career wise so I kept my side gig as a programmer/db engineer. Now I'm here, a member of the Flood waiting eagerly for Destiny and the rebirth of Months Behind.

Anyway, got a lot of coding to do, enjoy my back story.

Cheat · July 28, 2014, 11:18:11 PM

I used to post on the Nintendo forums waaaaaay back in the day when I was barely a teenager and Nsider still existed. I was the go-to guy for Pokemon gameshark/action replay codes; I set up a shop thread and everything.

Anyway, eventually I became "that cheat guy" and I've been going by Cheat ever since.

big sponge · July 28, 2014, 11:26:48 PM

Those who have me added on Xbox live will be able to guess why my original name was Mr Pinata.

However Lord Commissar came from a joke post I made on Bungie.next and I just never bothered to change it back.

Eventually people started knowing me by Lord Commissar instead of Mr Pinata so it just sort of stuck.

Statefarm · July 28, 2014, 11:42:54 PM

It's a secret. Shhh

Korra · July 28, 2014, 11:45:25 PM

I watched LoK, found that I shared a lot personality traits with the main character and voila!

Dopameme · July 28, 2014, 11:53:47 PM

Yeah, I bet you're all curious

Sandtrap · July 28, 2014, 11:54:52 PM

A map with a lot of memories that also happened to have moonbaby activity in it sometime or another.

July 28, 2014, 11:57:03 PM

I wanted to embrace my awfulness. I hate the asshole prudes ("respected members") of the old site, so I made this persona to combat them.

As for the avatar, I just liked it. Reminded me of a loud, obnoxious duck.
