Huh. I just thought you had a really bad case of the munchies when you signed up.

Ha, maybe I did. :ninja:

I misspelled the word Death.

After that, I fell in love with it :D





I don't even know how to pronounce it

Mine is my Gamertag. My friend has a theory that when picking a name for a band or an online persona, you should just pick two random words that sound cool together. I picked these two, and well, it stuck. Plus, it's kind of cool that both words have similar meanings.

I'm pronouncing it as "Dekwath" since normally Q has a kwuh sound to it.

Nothing all that interesting. I did notice that my name is being used elsewhere. Only place I use Azeban is on NMM's forum and Azaban is only used here and photobucket.

My name is just the result from an overdose of South Park and sleep deprivation. Seriously.

Red's my favorite color. I thought the word echo made it sound cool. Don't know where I got 419 from. Probably random numbers.

Coincidentally, Echo 419 is Foe Hammer's Pelican from Halo CE. :rock:

I was too obsessed with Fallout 3 at the time, and came up with this stupid name.

However, if I google Noobius Maximo, everything on the first page is me.

This username I just randomly decided upon. Previous user name that shall not be named was when I first joined here, and I named it after my Oblivion character. That was a God awful name.

Well you see. Samwise Gamgee in the book was amazing fellow who pretty much saved the day. He got the job done, and came home. Hell he even played emotional Russian roulette with the ever temperamental Frodo. Said [censored] it, and saved the day. Bringing both his charges (the luggage case Frodo so he wouldn't get corrupted, and naturally the one ring Frodo carried) to Mt. Doom. No one ever suspected him of anything, but he knew all along he could do it. He was the true master mind behind the story, but let the drama queen Frodo have all the glory. At the end of the day the world was saved. Even forgave Frod for that slip up where he had to carry the ring himself and get cursed with immortality and go accross the sea (to listen to more of the drama queen no doubt, and for all of eternity too.)

So I figured a man that strong ought to be someone who I should be reminded of, and so it was in 2002 I used it to create my Battle.net account for Warcraft 3, and then shortly thereafter I got a Geforce 4 (first graphics card evar) and a copy of Morrowind with it. Came here, and didn't feel like remembering multiple names. Gamgee was also not taken, and that is the end of it. I think a forum switch occurred and I remade Gamgee for some more questions on the game. Since then it has been my go to name, and then I get other names if it doesn't work out.

I have absolutely no idea why I chose TeeHee:3 rather than my usual Bonsai or RoflWaffle...

Pretty simple really, Betrayer of Humanity is the name of the two-handed axe that drops off Kel'Thuzad, the last boss of Naxxramas 25, a raid in World of Warcraft. At the time of the Wrath of the Lich Kings release, and up until Ulduar came out, it was best in slot for just about every class that used a two-handed axe, including Hunters for the stats. Was a pretty coveted weapon. I had 2, as I was a Fury Warrior and I dual-wielded them until I got better after the next tier of content came out, Ulduar.
I just liked the name. :shrug:
Fascinating and riveting tale, I'm sure.

Ha thats funny, playing BFBC2 earlier I foought someone with the name roflwaffle, just a slight change from your GT, at first I thought you kept killing me, until I noticed he had numbers.

ASnyway I couldnt think of a good name, wanted to state the obvious, and not use my GT, it gives away my last name, and I have a name that stands out, and I like bein anonymous, so I dont use it as a name.

I don't even remember anymore :sleep:

But I know that adding these blasted X's to the beginning and end of Antibody was an incredibly stupid mistake and I would gladly pay a moderator to change it.

Mine is a biblical reference. It's mis-spelled on purpose because the original was taken when I first started using the name.

I was a warrior class 'tank' in the game 'World of Warcraft'. I thought the irony was hilarious.

For some reason, I remember. You said in another thread that you played against (or with, or something) some guy with the name Antibody, and you nicked it and added the xX's. I did something similar with my Steam userame.

...Don't ask me how or why I remember that, because I haven't a clue. :P

The second someone with any of my usernames becomes good at a game you know it's not me. ;)




I'd really like to know how you came up with your name... :confused:
