Mine comes from the french translation of Master (me being a french canadian an'all), also the fact i'm usually a game master in my weekly D&D games with kiddos.

And well probably a bit from my over inflated EGO since i hesitated between Maitre and God but god in french also has a dildo meaning (which is spelled godmishé and commonly referenced to by its diminutive "god") so i went my the former option just in case someone i know would have thought of the less divine meaning o_O.

I typically get my gaming in at night after the kids are in bed (and the wife dozes off), hence the name. Let sleeping dogs and kids lie. I do get some interesting reactions to my PSN name though as it's not as obvious where I was going with the name.

I've played WoW from pretty much since it launched and my main char name is my Xbox Gamertag, unfortunately, it was already taken on PSN so I had to resort to another char and Pipsqweek was the only one I liked enough to use as my PSN ID.

I'd say this thread would probably be more at home in the Playstation Network forum. But anyways... ;)

When I was 13, I came up with the name Dreakon. I'm 24 years young at the moment. It started as Dreakon13 so I'd always remember when I thought of it, but I dropped the numbers at some point. It became a favorite of mine and I use it everywhere. I took Drake (no relation to Nathan Drake) and spun it around to play nice with a -on appended to the end. Drakeon, Dreakon. It's funny listening to some people try to pronounce it. Drake-in is how I pronounce it and always have.

Dreakon is my favorite iteration of it. It was taken on PSN so I originally used Dreakon13 on my old account. Since I've moved to a new account (didn't like my cluttered trophy list with games I didn't intend to complete or play again), I chose to tack a 9 on the end. Dreakon139.

Gone the way of the PC. If you use Steam, you should add me as a friend!

Mine is so un-original, but easy to remember: My first name and middle and last initial.

I for many years used the name Lucifer, but got tired of it after 10 years or so, and ever since, I have always used Wade_VC on all the forums, sites, PSN, etc., that I use or visit.

My original account was ClankXIII, as in Clank from Ratchet & Clank and roman numeral thirteen. I later changed it cause I didn't want to be obviously associated with a game. So I changed it to Azakos, which is just a made up name. I originally wanted just Azako, but it was taken, so I slapped on an 's'. It's my online persona now. I pronounce it 'Uh-zay-kohs' but I've heard plenty of other ways online.

FAoOH = "Fallen Angels of Outer Heaven" - Old MGS clan that was formed a while back with me and a few other folks from an old MySpace group dedicated to the games, back when MGS3 first came out. We'd actually created characters and what not for it, just for fun - like an actual organization in MGS - IE: Foxhound, Dead Cell, and Cobra Unit.

"x" = A spacer. Nothing more, nothing less.

"SniperFox" = A blend of multiple things - my two favorite MGS characters [Sniper Wolf/Gray Fox], my favorite style of weapon [Sniper Rifle], and my second favorite animal [Fox].

More often than not, I just go by "SniperFox", the "FAoOHx" gets added if it's already taken. I also go by just "Fox" - like on Arcade score screens and such.

I actually used to go by "sabrewulf1879/sabrewulf1880" - a more obvious reference name - the reference being Killer Instinct, and again, my favorite character from the game. The 1879/1880 were just random numbers.

Mine is a song by the band Daughters. It's a 30 second song, hah. Most people think it's in reference to female genitals. D:

LOL!!

Mine is pretty much random, but inspiration comes from comic books where you'll often find heroes and villains created from or augmented due to an altered formula.

What's your damage, little boy? You've got a sick and twisted world perspective.

I'll be honest, that's the inflection I got from it... though a little part of me knew better.

I'm just glad my 'female genitals' radar is working.

My name is just the 1st initial of my 1st name 'Eric' part of my last name 'Burk' and finish it off with the deadly tuberculosis virus. A play on words I guess. I don't have tuberculosis or anything. :P I think it originated as my rap battle stage name. Rap, Internet and video games...serious business...

Mine is the compound of my favorite sports team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, and my nickname.

Steel + Sammy = Steelsammy

Zairozen- Wow, he can hold his beer as well (Sammy adams). *Applaud* I underestimated you, SteelSatan.

Ok, I used to be known as 'dethklokdan1991'. I made up that name because I liked Dethklok at the time, my name is Dan and I was born in '91. My first PS3 YLOD so I decided to start over new on the new slim I got last year. I still wanted to keep 'Deth' since everyone here called me Deth. I wanted something that could rhyme with it... I tried Deth_Meth, but that sounded dumb so I picked Deth_Breath.
