Mine originated when I was making my xbox live account for the 1st time when I was about 14years old. All I could think about was that I wanted a name that meant " something difficult to get through or pass ". Little did I know I misspelled it but it stuck and had like a few people really compliment me on it so I kept it

I saw a similar thread to this in the Dawn of War forums, and somebody mentioned the username Seldentar which I loved and immediately chose as my SC2/TL ID :D

I used to play Final Fantasy XI Online. I am not at all creative with names. I hit the random name button for my character, and Ayaz was born. Turns out, it's a not-uncommon real name. I have had a lot of middle eastern people pick up on it in FF, WoW, and SC2. I think it's pretty neat.


Sounds similar to Aziz which is another common middle eastern name

I was signing up for Xbox live and I was transitioning out of my old tag of Ironabsol so I was thinking of what just sounded cool. Then I heard "money for nothing - Direstrais" on the radio and though oh! And so DIRE STR8T was born on Xbl, then when I came to SC2 I had to make it totally text based.

I picked Corsair, because they're awesome, and no, I'm not talking about the brood war unit...Anyway I've always loved the F4U-C Corsair, and was playing a lot of IL2 1946 before I started playing Starcraft. Anyway, observe the awesome pic if it works...

I needed a new ID cuz Avenger was obviously taken everywhere. Was playing this game (Tibia lol) and it had a suggest a name generator that threw out 2-3 word RP names. It suggested Ryder smth I think and I changed it to Ryler.

Kinda stupid yeah.

I was a big fan of Metroid back in the day, and I combined Kraid (favorite boss) with radio (Because I enjoy it!) and got Kraidio! Fun fact that I misspelled it as Kradio for about 7 years straight.

I originally had my id for DotA and sc2 be g0su, but it was mispronounced in a shoutcast by someone as gahso. At that point my friends who were listening said it was hilarious and I was forced by them to change my id to gahso, which got combined with one of my favorite BW players SoO. The extra g in the front made gg, but is mostly because I forgot my password on my email where I had all the gahSoO accounts linked to.

My name has changed several times. Since playing NeoPets (Fuck yeah!) I always used the name Linadog12. When I got SC2, I figured that Linadog12 wasn't quite what I wanted. Having taken latin for several years, I wanted to have an actual latin name. I messed up and ended up with "Faciator"(about two days later I found out that the word I was thinking of was factor". After some months I realized that name was bad and everyone mispronounced it (as face- E - ator). I jumped ship, still wanting a latin name. I chose Vespillo because it means a person who digs and buries mass graves. Again, this was mispronounced, and not very original. On both TL.net and Gom Vespillo was taken, so I tried to make up a new name. I liked the sound "mord", but it just didnt quite seem like enough. I tagged on "anis" and am finally satisfied with my name. even though b.net won't let me change my name again TT

When I was 11 or so and at camp we had to pick nicknames. I wanted something with a moose and the counselor insisted I do something doctor related...hence DrMoose. So for the past 12 years my name throughout all my video games has been DrMoose...however when SC2 released I had drank a bit too much and made a typo and now I have a third "o".

I have seen that there is an imposter DrMoose on the ladder (and streams here). One day I shall issue a challenge for the rightful ownership of this name. (We're both at the same skill level too)
I have a question...

When I got an SC2 account, we had just finished reading Hamlet in my English class. The most inconsequential character in the whole play is Voltimand, so I took that name to make a very subtle reference to one of the greatest plays ever written. My friends also chose names related to Hamlet, namely Yorick and Fortinbras, so we form a Shakespearean alliance in 3v3.

I liked penguins. But penguins are cute and harmless. Nukes aren't.

So, penguin+nuke=penguinwithnuke. It's not harmless.

When i chose my name, i was making an xbox live gamertag at like, 16 years old. i wanted it to be Ravens43 cuz that was my highschool mascot and my football number, but it was taken so then i thought of old video games i used to play, and socom 1 came to mind, and one of the teammates names in that game was Specter. so i dropped the 43 and smushed the words together and BAM!!! RavenSpecter was born.

Hi, this all written in one sitting, and I wanted to retain it's authenticity and creativity without any editing or removal of text, but this is why I have chosen my name as aguynamedoleg.

My name is Oleg, aguynamedoleg is my handle, it is my youtube account, it is my SC2 ingame character name, it is my character in Tribes Ascend, it has been a name in some random Asian Casino Business F2P Model MMOs, and countless games over the course of my gaming "career"

HON- never got over high 1800s Current name Vegeta (RIP Moti) I have put in a request to acquire a copyright license from S2 games to upload, promote, and monetize Heroes of Newerth videos that I have created, in the process of rendering, uploading, and future videos.

I think I might have top 10 best HON gameplay videos uploaded from 09' That was the best time in HON. I do not think will ever experience the fun and excitement of playing HON then that time, when it was all new, beta, anything goes, the rage, oh the rage HON founded the word "rage" it also seems to have pioneered SC2's Replay system, as SC2 had a good look at it, it was genius.

SC2- Gold league 1s, diamond 2s

I bought SC2 a few months ago and played a bit of the single player. I did not want to play the multi-player as I was trying to get out of gaming, but here I am here...

WOW BC- Main Feral Tank, tanked brut/felmyst within two weeks of release (Security guild on Arthas) RIP Moti
Organized weekly Gruul's/ that other boss in the 1st starting zone in BC..hmm wow! I forgat the name but I main tanked the entire bosses, sometimes I let others try for fun, I organized it from stratch every saturday for 3months, and for my knowledge no one has ever done that before me...I tried to use my exalted guild to help but they were "too good" or just tired of raiding. It was a very big deal of what I was doing, but I do not think anybody realized that amount of work it took me to get 25 random strangers to cooperate, and stay in the raid while I recruited more, sometimes it took up to an hour... Same thing with Kara.

I was also one of the first few people to organize and befriend an excellent group of players from 4-5 top guilds in the realm for a weekly ZA run..We exchanged numbers...I called every player during the specified raid day, and we were organized, very few showed up late, and we rarely had a problem getting together. After a while some players got greedy, as they got their ZA mounts... and we needed replacements... again "too good"

I was very fair with all the rolls and never set aside something juicy or really rare for friends, I can't think of their respective item names from the number of raids but if someone knows what raids I am talking about, then I hope they know what drops I am talking about.

After a while, I started to organize groups to farm trash in Sunwell for the gems, recipes, and crafting material or whatever it was for item upgrades...I never took a single item from the trash, I did that almost everyday...I was playing WOW 12+ hours a day for more then 6months.

I am very proud of the WOW achievements, sorry if sounds like I am bragging too much.

Dransik - Birnical (RIP Slither) and now nothing after they did the server reset...(fail publisher owns the rights to the ultimate online inspired 2d clone[Developed by one of the designers from Ultimata Online, early 1998-2000 project)

Personal Projects-
The personal videos I create and store on youtube, is by a character A Guy Named Oleg, it was the foundation, it all began there.

Tribes Ascend- aguynamedoleg is my character on there
I played the origional Tribes, it bothers me that some people might compare this game to Halo...It is nothing like that...Halo is single player dribble. Halo will never be a multi-player game in my book, it is console...there is no community. It is one of the things about SC2 that throws me off. SC2 is not a multi-player game, the left over nostalgia is the multi-player of SC2. I have very little respect for Blizzard as an organization these days. They got blinded by their success. Warcraft 1 and 2 was a good game... Seems like they just milk their products, no creativity :/

I have two or three beta keys still, sitting on my account, if anybody needs, one guy contacted me on youtube asking for one, but never got back to me when I wanted to double check.

Skyrim-
I recently started a playthrough of my Skyrim experience, I am at 53 episodes uploaded about ~30 hours of 720p 30m-1hour long episodes...(kind of shocks me that some people would do playthroughs of Skyrim and make their videos less then 15minutes. I was debating 2hour long each before I started and the 1hour ones were a test, IE could not upload 3-4gb files to youtube, but google chroome could!!!)

I think that is it, hmm..no wait...I did a short documentary(2hours long?) on buying Ipads during their release 5 nights in a row, in different stores, waiting in line, and then I sold them over in Russia for profit among other things of course but Ipads were the gold, the grey gold, as it is a grey market.

I just wanted to create a smal introduction of myself and this is the only place it seemed logical for me to do so. I hope I can post this much and I need to copy/paste this critical hit of a introduction in fear of losing it to bugs or user errors.

Hello, my name is Oleg, just A Guy Named Oleg, would you promote me? Or must I prove, I am the one.



PS

The ending might be corny, might be creative, might be anything, this is life, as the message still stands, over the hovering sands, over the pillars of sea, and within you and me, we are alive, and this is our life.

It is 8:20am, I have not slept, I am not sleepy :/ Racing thoughs keep me up. The letters strangely begin to confuse as I jump to alarm out of worry of making a mistake. The convienence of a spellchecker, a life of pampering.
Goods news, Star Wars Old Republic Beta in 38minutes, but I am too tired to make any meaningful sense come out of my brain and out of mouth into a mic. The sheer panic brings zerglings down my body. The fear of an army of zealots and stalkers over the horizon. The madness of 8 barrack reactor marine rally. The absoluteness in nothingness.
