Well, I guess the story must come out, alas, Normon was made when I first started playing WoW, I needed a name, and it came to me, end of story. Now, for some entertainment, the name of my Xbox-Live gamer-tag...ah yes, it all started when I was about 8 years old, I used to pretend I was some weird ass creature from weird ass movies/video games...I once thought of myself as an Elite from Halo. Anyways, I played a game where you board an old, derelict spaceship that has been taken over by freaky space dinosaurs that look like they have no skin, and so I started the ultimate Skinless Dino, after a while I actually built a lot of story behind it and my dad and I goofed around pretending we were going to take over the world and such.

Anyways, eventually I got Xbox Live and I figured I'd just use Skinless Dino, me and my dad to this day still goof around with that.

This is very interesting topic that I rather enjoy reading.

Necrontyr is a reference anyone who is familiar with Warhammer 40,000 will understand. The Necrontyr were a long forgotten race of immense power that ultimately cheated death by transferring themselves into bodies of living metal so that they could continue to wage war against their enemy. Because they were fashioned from living metal, they were free to continue to rise from the grave no matter how many times or how sure their enemies were that they had defeated them. Just like them, you may take me out a dozen times in a game, but I will always rise to eventually take you out.

I could have devised a nickname referencing my time in college or a fraternity nickname, but there were simply too many embarrassing drunken fiascos to choose from.

Well, I had been reading the Halo Cryptum book and really liked the name Bornsteller, awhile later I had my Moddb account under the name Bornsteller. Plus, The Didact needs some familiar faces.

My dad used to use the CB radio a lot during his hunting days and his handle there was Brush Ape. He's kinda big and hairy and animalistic.

When i created my first xbox live account 4 years ago I thought it would be a great idea to combinate master chief and shipmaster(Elite) as a account name, because i thought it would sound really "cool".
Well, the final name sound good, but not as good as i expected. the only good thing was that my friends nickname on xbox live for me was "chief".
its something.

When I first got a 360 I thought it would be funny if it said amegabyte (my old account name*) killed you, scored, etc. The reason? I have the worst sense of humor ever, of all time.** Then I decided to make that into agigabyte, end of story.

** Like if you got the reference.

* My first name was Spartan117, creative, I know.

Mine started off as spartan-117 for obvious reasons but after reading the Halo books I changed it to Spartan-058 (for those of you who have not read the books, Spartan-058 or Linda was a super deadly Spartan Sniper that was attached to Spartan-117s Blue Team) because 117 was being over used like crazy. Also because Spartan-058s sniper skills were pretty crazy. Polt Device (Children of Synflux) is my clan tag for any of you who were wondering. For anybody who is wondering who Synflux is, he was the head of the old WWX clan which I used to be in. The leftovers from WWX formed the Children of Synflux.
