TheQuietPlace - Diablo II Trapsin

Aardus - Wow main, how embarrassing.

Steve - My SC2 name, pretty straightforward, although its like putting a flag on my forehead that says "make fun of me"

My handle is a throwback/reference to middle/high school gaming with my good buddies back then... Other than brood war, we used to use this Japanese program called RPG Maker XP to make games in the style of Chrono Trigger/Final Fantasy etc.... The program was pretty sick, it would let you make your own maps, settings, event triggers, weapons/armor classes, and it would even import .wma and .mpg files for cutscenes in the storyline....

Boundless comes from the hierarchy of weapon/armor classes that we had back in the day. From worst stats to best stats, it went: (don't ask me how I remember this, it must have been ~19 years ago)

Useless -> Damaged -> Customary -> Ample -> Boundless

Yeah, we thought we were pretty awesome in middle school. =D

But yeah, I picked my handle based on that, and every time I remember the story it makes me smile. =D

I've used shitloads of random names. I can't remember them all. The only one's I can remember using are the ones for accounts that I still use.

Varpulis- Slavic god of storm winds. (I've used variations of this name for ages, ever since I started playing quakelive. Variations include VarpuliS and Varpuli5) I use this for most RTS games and it's my WoL handle.

Oystermeister- I'm a big fan of Lewis Carroll, especially his poem The Walrus and the Carpenter. I thought up this name, and love it. It's even in my sig, I love it so much.

my first alias was artic

then someone told me it was misspelled

then it was arctic

then the fad of saying 'teh' instead of 'the' occurred and i transformed steve into steveh (STE - VEH)

Wolfmeck (AOL Mechwarrior 2 community)
Primus Eph (AOL Mechwarrior 2 community)
Kuppy (Kali Mechwarrior 2 community)
RedFox (Kali Mechwarrior 2 community/Ultima Online)

Quesa (every MMO from EQ through '07 or '08, although after WoW I never played another MMO for more than a week) - I came up with that name when I was trying to come up with something non-threatening for my healer on the European UO server, something that wouldn't connotate PK/thief when I ran up to total strangers who were fighting to bandage them. Worked quite well. Decided to keep it for my dwarf cleric in EQ and then spent 250 days between 99-02 on him.

JOSpot (Counter-Strike) - I wanted something unassuming, I rather liked it until idiots started pronouncing it as 'JossPot.'

Switch - Nickname given to me by my Snowboarding team as a teenager, because I rode Switch as well as regular. Its what my RL friends call me still, used it for my tag during all games from DN3D thru to Star Trek: Orion Pirates.

Emythrel - WoW name for my first toon, it means one of magic. I've kept it ever since as i like it, my gf even calls me Emy from time to time... usually when im gaming and not responding to my real name lol.

Superflood - was trying to find something for my first online name, this was a brand of floodlight in the computer room. Seemed pretty cool until someone else started using it as well (damn you superflood@hotmail.com!)

Sanctimonius - came about from an online convo I was having with a friend when I found out Superflood was taken at hotmail. Became my online name from then on. Been about ten years now.

Kroatoan - because sanctimonius is being taken on everything too

Plus it sounds better as a gaming name, but I want to change it to...

Mukluk - another one that came about from a conversation between me and friends. Waiting for the name change to open up so I can be this on Starcraft too

GoldenTaurus (BW/DotA)
Haxorcist (DoD/TF2/CS)
TrogdorTheBurn (DotA/DoD/LoL) ( http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail58.html )
C1ubberLang (DotA) (Mr T in a Rocky film. Yes Plz)
RandalGraves (DotA) (Watch Clerks or CLerks 2)
B1oodNinja (LoL/SC2) (NSFW so google it for a laugh)

I also have had a number of GW, AoC, LotR:O, Vindictus characters but those names are personalized to the character and rarely get carried over. I think the only one I carry over is Faegernes (bastardized elvish for something I no longer remember) which I use for female warrior classes.

minotaur - Because Minotaurs are fucking awesome, especially in Heroes of Might and Magic, haha.

mInOtAuR - OH GOD THE ALTERNATING CAPITALIZATION BURNS MY EYES. Thought it would be cooler back then. Boy, was I wrong.

Minotaur - Phew, I've grown up a bit at this point, but annoyed at other people with the same nickname forcing me to add numbers or stuff like that.

Mino - What I use now, but I'll add as many Minos behind until one of them isn't taken. The most extreme so far is my Skype ID, MinoMinoMinoMinoMinoMino.

Starfire - My first ID when I first logged onto B.net to play WC2/SC. Was about 10-12yr old when I made this. Thought it sounded awesome. Then fucking Teen Titans came out and I got asked every day if I was named after the character Starfire on that stupid show. Got frustrated and had to change my ID.

Daykiller - Solely my MMO name. Started playing WoW at patch 1.1, right before BG's were introduced. First class was a rogue so I wanted a name to match what my class. Wanted to name myself Nightkiller, rogues kill people in the night etc, but it was taken so I took the opposite, Day. Various variations of this name for my entire length of WoW, up till last patch before Cata.

--> - My FPS name. I've messed around with my FPS ID the most, usually liked symbols or funny faces etc and I eventually chose this because it kinda looked like an arrow. People usually called me arrow or arrowdude (also my youtube ID lol). Atm my name for steam is --> [FFN], clan server I play the most on TF2.

Zooper - Honestly idk how I came up with this name. I know I thought for awhile before deciding on it. I usually use this for everything not related to MMO's or FPS's, it also usually has 31 on the end of it if numbers are allowed. It's slowly become my main ID for everything though. Won't overtake MMO though because I've forged too much with that certain name to lose it lol.

I think thats all the names I've used through my gaming career. Also "The Swamp" is usually what I call my band in any music game since it's a play on my real name.
