Here we will express how we choose the username we have on SG and on Steam.

SG: I choose this name because I signed up on a forum at one point and couldnt use Ryan. So I decided to put an H into the name and it just stuck ever since.

Steam: PTH is for a guild I am in for Guild Wars 2 and a few other games, Ryahn is obvious, [OCN] is for a overlock community called Overclock.net and the умник means smartass

On SteamGifts, I thought it will be the same as what happen on Steam: your login name != showing name, so I use my personal name.
On Steam profile name (win32.executioner/TH), I was thinking of a new name and my crappy windows (now completely re installed) have some HDD bad sector corrupting some files, I opened an corrupted exe and it said "Not a valid win32 application"
So, my idea is win32.exe, then to make it a little longer, I heard the term "executioner" someone I couldn't thought of, so it fits.
And to make it a little more virus name look, I just add /TH as country tag.

I stole a friend's account for something a while back. It had mini in the front so I was known as mini. When I got my own account I merged the mini with my old username totent. I've gotten so used to mini I'll answer to it IRL as well.

I first used this name for America's Army. It was the first MP game where you had to register your name, and no two people could use the same name. All of the usual MP names I used in previous games were taken. I didn't want to use somename1234, I wanted something unique, so I came up with this name. Few people rarely get it though. I don't really like it, but haven't come up with anything else that is unique. It may have been unique at the time, but not anymore. I've been running into several places where I try to register it and it's already taken.

Also steam said 'metalero' was taken so I had to improvise (?) haha

Was a fan of Weird Al as a kid(still am), and I needed a username for Ultima Online, and I was gone base it on my real life name. The server I played more on already had "weirdalan" and "weirdalan1988," so I went with crazy, and it kind of stayed. I did have "weirdalan" in some form on one of the shards, but didn't really play him, played the one my family was basing on.

Back when I was eight and looking for my first username for "teh interwebz," I had been playing Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. I really wanted a Star Wars oriented name, so.. I switched "Ajuur" up a bit. Stuck with it ever since. As for my Steam name, it's the name I wish I had. Also a minor tribute to Keiichi Maebara from Higurashi no Naku Koro ni.

I like games which let me rule over dominions, like to kick ass (but not quite chew bubblegum) and generally am fond of explosions that happen at a level significantly below Michael Bay but above zero.

"Abaris" was the codename of J. W. v. Goethe while being in the Illuminati order.
"919" is just a suffix suggestion I was given by some phpbb forum to take instead of "Abaris", because it was already taken :P
