How did you choose you username? I wondered about many of your usernames and I want to know!!

I chose my username tscuzimbrown, as I am brown and I like saying its cuz im brown when denied objectives and chiz, I wasn't paying attention while making the name and omitted the "I" in the name thus leaving the "t" lonely. Also leaving people confused on how to say my name, most people say tis-cuz or t-s-cuz. Some just say brown. I'm fine with whichever, but I like brown the best! :mrgreen:

So, tell me how you got your name, I'm all ears and eyes. :)

I have a Foosball table, made by a company named Halex, added boom to the end. BOOM. I win.

Why the number 8? Because 8 is a sexy number.

I ran a Facebook group called "Awesome Friends" and 56 is 13 away from 69 and that is how old I was at the time I made my account.

So your real name is 'osauros' and the dinosaur's name is Ivan? Is that right?

Just my name: Frank W.J.
It has a 1 because my computer used to freeze up and crash classic but I stayed ingame and couldn't login with my original account 'Frankwj'.
So I made Frankwj1 to get online and tell a cat that the other account must be kicked.

Things happend and I abandoned my first account and went on with my other one...

I just smashed my keyboard and got my name.

Okay but really my names goes all the way back to like 2005ish when I first started playing runescape. There was this object that you could obtain from killing a boss that was really hard and required a shit ton of clicking and kiting and if you died you needed to restart the 60ish waves it took to get to the boss. So that item was a fire cape and since it's really hard to get people really admire it and so I changed my name to ihasFireCape. Then when I quit runescape around 2009-2010ish I just took out the cape and was left with iHasFire. Runescape was fun back in the days but now it's complete horseshit.

I couldn't think of a name for a minecraft account so I just used a song by The Clash I was listening to "Junco Partner" thinking I wouldn't play minecraft for more than a day. Pretty much stopped using any other aliases I had before that.

Couldnt you just farm the shit out of those tokens in ANY of the arenas in the volcano? Or just mine and sell the materials? As I remember the boss had a relatively low drop chance for it o.o

Well back then obby capes were sort of like firecapes for lower level people. It cost like 200-300k and back then making money was really hard and time consuming unlike now where everything is inflated and some people have 200B banks that they could sell for 100-200k dollars to some goldrunescape site.

My name has nothing to do with my penis size even though 99% of the people who see my name might think so.
Used the nick magnum before, but then I realized it could be the icecream aswell:

But I am not eatable and wanted to represent myself as a gun (yeah wtf why would someone want that) so I decided to add 9mm behind my name, making it magnum9mm making people think:

But I wanted to have NL in my name so people would know where I am from, making my name magnum9mmNL. That nick is too long I know right, so I decided to strip it to 9mmNL :4

My name comes from my history in rpgs, I could not think of a single good thing when I was 12 or 13 and was too proud to just steal some cookie cutter elvish name from Tolkien or the like.

So I just took random syllables and combined them until something suitable emerged, then took that as my name in my first experience in rpgs - Baldurs Gate.

The name stuck and has been used over more than 13 years now, in anything from shooters to chatrooms to platforms like this.

You could probably find out quite a bit about my internet history if you searched for it persistently enough, since I am the only one using this name to my knowledge.

No deeper meaning, though!

Edith: It seems a Thomas Heck actually uses it on Twitter. D:

Back in third grade, email hit our school. Computers also became more common in schools. A lot of us made email accounts. We were room 200 and Nitro200 was taken. Add an 'n' and you have my go-to username. Bit bland, but yeah.
EDIT: If you're really clever, I bet you can even figure out my email address...

My minecraft name, 2Fat2Furious was an outcome of me endoursing the the teenage activity of smoking pot, watching old movies and kinky porn.

Truth be told, 2Fat2Furry was my first choise, sadly due to minecraft being a tad retarded at that time -like now it isn't- I managed, somehow to be rendered useless in my trial of password retrieval several weeks later. *acting like it's not my fault for losing it in the first place* I was a member of SPA FB for a couple months by then, but when I logged in with the new username everybody liked it and told me it was funny, you can call that a phyrrric success due to the fact that without the given username I wouldn't have tried to act so obnoxious, idiotical, ignorant and creepy all the time -or, well, it's what I like to believe-. So I said 'Fuck Shad0wize and all his grim, gothic, snarky, derrogatory and utterly odacious behavior bloody hell!' thus becoming 2Fat.

Although even given all that I act like an even bigger idiot nowadays to compensate my anti-social behavior and missing my soul mate, -my right hand was amputated- who left to England for college -it was smarter than me- and left me wanking around for months on end, I swear I never remembered I went trough puberty until that.

Back in '10 we were doing pretty well in hockey. Canada got olympic gold, and the canucks were having a promising run for the cup. I lost my interest in hockey a while back, and have been meaning to change my username. Rather mundane :P

Made it with a buddy after this comic came out: http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=292

He typed the first 3 letters his tiny brain could fathom, which formed the word Don, then repeated that same action thrice!

After that we probably griefed a bunch of servers in total stupidity and I eventually found SpecialAttack.net Freebuild while playing late one night and decided to settle in and build a duck.
After that I kinda just claimed the account and it's now all mine ^^

Now you know the story of Don_Don_Don.

Jeez, around 2007 I was on youtube sending some video of Oprah to someone trying to be funny and saw that I could add a name at the end and my mind out of now where thought of Mr. Cat, which I thought was hilarious at the time. I think in my mind I imagined a cat wearing a suit just doing boring people stuff sending an oprah video to someone. It ended up unknowingly to me being my name on the youtube profile and people made a big deal out of it for some reason. I don't know. I just went with it and then used it for like a year+ in a bunch of dumb AIM chatrooms and junk.

When I finally decided to try out whatever minecraft was I tried the name Mr_Cat and it was taken so I was like shit. I then went with Senor_Cat and went to I think team9000 and was like wtf is this crap and confusingly left. I found SpA's server on my third try or so and just quietly walked around, saw some big signs about donating for the Japan Tsunami relief which I thought was pretty cool, made some rainbow bridges and left. Next day I decided I didn't feel like I fit the persona of being a senor and switched my name to Mc_MrCat. I have no clue where I came up with the Mc_. Then I made a bunch more rainbow bridges and made the server my home.

One day a month or so later, the person with the account Mr_Cat joined the server and I was so angry at him and he left to never be seen again. I'm Happy with the Mc. Oh wait I remember now, the Mc_ definitely had something to do with MC Hammer when I made it. I think it was the best of both worlds associating with MC Hammer and Mr. Cat. Yeah, maybe. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
