Something I was curious of, I know the answer for a couple of you but thought it might be interesting to share where we go our usernames.
Mines a dumb one, I put Pete into a Roman Gladiator name generator twice, and merged to two results I got into one, Petronious!
I just stuck with it.

I had recently seen the trailer for that new Peanuts movie, so snoopy was on my mind. Then I looked at a turtle on my shelf and kind of just put two and two together. I made a list of like 30 different names to see what I liked, not very good at names. Bit tricky for me.

Tomato = Tom (Nothing much going on there)
Ghost came from two places. One was the fact I came up with it late October 2013, so Halloween time where there was lots of ghost imagery. The other reason is because ghost is one of my favourite Pokemon types. TomatoSteel, TomatoFire or TomatoBug don't quite have the same ring to it.

So I've mentioned it before, but my original handle was Content Hedgehog. I was just going by Metal Gear Solid / Egoraptor method of naming, Adjective Animal. Mainly changed it to Content Free Time to make it sound more like a show name and less like an internet username.

Back in 1998, at the ripe ol' age of 8 I decided to start using the internet. After watching these newbie pixel artist show off their recolored characters, I decided to try creating some that weren't altered versions of Sonic or Tails. Soon after that, I was recruited to a website called Dragon Clan Comics, and asked if I could get an AIM with my nickname plus 'Ryu DCC' at the end of it. Thus, Yoshy Ryu DCC was born.
As far as my channel's name, Critical Thinking - we were originally going to be a channel dedicated to game theory type videos, in a comedic way. So even though they would have been fun, thought provoking, there would be more satire and a more humorous tone. We don't do that at the moment, but it's an idea we might go back to.

I was a huge watcher of Toonami, with Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball Z, Gundam Wing, Tenchi Muyo!, and Outlaw Star. But the real origin of my name came straight from my daydreams of being in the Sailor Moon universe, and I named my made character Moon Spirit. My character was a huge Gary Stu, an all powerful fighter with tons of powers and such, but I had the hugest crush on Sailor Mars, and I kind of still do. Now as I grew older, I developed my character into my own superhero name after playing so much Freedom Force, a superhero RPG game on PC. And that's how my name came to be.

A high school buddy had a dog who's name was "Belle" He used to call it Bell dog. My last name is Bell. So he one day started calling me BGog(Bee-Gog).(As in bell dog? Wasn't ever quite sure) I liked the nickname, and so I added a C because my first name starts with C. C + BGog. CBGog. (see-bee-gog)

That's like a piece of trivia you'd hear on Did You Know Gaming, haha. A high school buddy had a dog who's name was "Belle" I have a dog named Belle too. Her brother's name is Taco. They're chihuahuas. Just thought I'd mention that, lol.

Phonetically, it's supposed to read "emm-ae-see" or just m-a-c, which is my first name. Similarly, my logo is just "MAC" with some overlapped spots and sideways.

I just know mine's going to be the stupidest story.
My friends and I like to have little launch parties the night before for games that we are all particularly excited for. The first one we held was for Pokémon X and Y. The friend whose house we were at had recently downloaded an audio mixing program and the soundtrack for Red and Blue. The plan was to make obnoxiously annoying "music" that we would play on the way to the shop when we picked up our games. The first file we decided to remix was the cry Jynx makes in the games. We spent almost half an hour passively adding loops to the track, moving things around, basically making a huge mess. When it was finished, we saved the track, but we had to name it, so my friend named it "Jyyyyynxstep." We made four more, but we lost all of the files. All of them, except for Jyyyyynxstep.

Post by Locklear on May 12, 2016 2:09:58 GMT
I took the name Locklear from a fantasy book series and have been using it for probably over 10 years now. I'm a lazy man and couldn't think of a good youtube name so I just kept it. Turns out there's a popular FPS youtuber named L0ckl34r which I didn't find out until after I did all of my branding and what not. He hasn't uploaded for almost a year anyway.

Ok. So here we go. Grenademan Is like the coolest megaman boss. For some reason, everyone hates megaman 8. Well, ok. I get it. Its a bit different. but regardless, most bosses are in the room when you walk in and are all: "NOthin personal kid." BUT NO. YOU WALK IN AND THE ROOM IS EMPTY THEN THE WALL EXPLODES AND GRENADEMAN JUMPS OUT AND SHOUTS AT YOU "SAY HELLO TO MY CUTE BOMBS!" OR "I'LL PUNISH YOU!" AND THEN PROCEEDS TO JUMP AROUND AND ATTACK AND HIS WEAKNESS?! HIS OWN ATTACK?! BUT HE JUST LAUGHS AT YOU AND WHEN HE DIES HE SHOUTS "THAT FELT GOOD." What a cool guy. Oh and uh...I tend to call myself Blitz in video games :3
