    When I was 6, my cousin convinced me to try out salsa for the first time. I remember puking after trying it because it was super spicy salsa and it scarred me and I swore to never eat salsa again. Later at the age of 8 when I was making my first username on a Wii, that same cousin told me I should make my name "Hot Salsa" because he wouldn't let me live down my reaction to salsa. I laughed and thought that name would be too simple, so I made "salsa" into "salza"

      Bad Intentions

        Thought of something that I usually feel / want to do when facing enemies :]

        altskop

          Skop is an abbreviated something (which I don't really remember) and kinda sounded like Scope, but then I changed it to Altskop cause apparently there were too many Skops in this world who I couldn't kill to claim my rights on the nickname.

          EDIT: Every time I see you posting, I remember the Digital Daggers' song. Its called Bad Intensions, obviously.

                          Crudude

                            It was a stormy stormy night, thunder SHOOK our windows and only lightning broke the pitch black darkness (The electricity in our house had not been working for hours) . Rain pattered hard on our roof and the wind absolutely howled outside. It almost had that haunted feel to it.

                            Anyway a few weeks later I wanted to make a name for this chatroom place (I was 12 at the time.) It was an app called mxit and it had chatrooms with clans in that well basically insulted each other. Weird I know. Anyway I wanted a cool name and was thinking up one with my friend and eventually we came up with the name "Dark Crusader"
                            A legend was born

                            I kept that name for many years but eventually when I started playing overseas games people would see the 'dark' in my name and also take in the fact that I am South African and be like "oh he's black" But of course they don't tell you that they think it they just assume 80 % of time and I got tired of it a bit. I am white by the way and definitely not racist but also don't like being assumed something that I am not, or my 16 year old self didn't like it anyway. Of course it doesn't matter what my name is if I say I am African they will assume anyway :P
                            Also apparently bat man is a Dark Crusader :/

                            Anyways one day as a 16 year old I made the historic choice to begin the dangerous quest for my new identity. I spent many days pondering my new name and came up with many creative ideas. Not so creative however that others did not have the name somewhere and a legend such as my self could never just put numbers in front of a name to make it work! So day by day went and the failures piled up. It seemed like I would never find my true identitiy...

                            Then when all hope was lost I started to think about my current name Dark-Crusader, maybe if I just dropped the dark? Crusader? Cloaked Crusader? Crazy Crusader? But no, none of this would work. But then what was I, but a dude in this grand world. Yes my future would be bright and stories would be told about me long after my death, but in the end I was just a dude. A special dude, but a dude nonetheless. So I came up with crusader dude. But then I thought WOOOW that name is lame, who wants to be called crusader dude? I wasn't even a crusader...

                            And so that is when I shorted it to Cru and became the glorious, the almighty, the brilliant and utterly modest CRUDUDE.

                                Zano is just "sane" in spanish written with a z.

                                I think I meant it to be, "so, am I actually sane?" After a little while I realized that was lame, but was too lazy to change the nick.

My friends respected me mostly for my insane kill-stealing skills - I knew nothing besides that, but in this field i was the best. At some point when we were on skype, and I just lasthitted 3 enemy heroes (which looked disgusting, I admit), and they blamed me for stealing a triplekill, I laughed and said smthng like "easy triple steal huehueheuhue".
                                                                          When I created another account after selling my main in wc3, I didnt know what nickname to put, and eventually I decided to be TripleSteal-. The "-" in the end usually meant that it is a secondary acc in wc3 (~smurf).

I was playing MGS3 Online, Ratchet And Clank Online, abit of Socom, and some Star Wars Battle Front 2, ah, yes, those were the days. My old name was Shotgun Style, I had that name cause I was playing Madden 2005 online, and couldn't think of a name, so I made the system fetch a name for me, so I went with that. Then years later when Halo 3/Gears of war were big, my name was SusPeKT. Then in like 2012 I made Yorkey, cause I was bored of Shotgun style/Suspekt, and just wanted something that sounded pro in case I ever got known for anything. Something that people can easily google, and so on, yeah... XD I don't care about being famous at all, I guess I just wanted to get noticed for something, so that's why I got into drawing, guitar, and all these hobbies, but I don't care about what people think anymore, freedom.

                                                                                    Just thought of it I guess, and one of my dogs just happens to be a "yorkie" with an I. XD

So I was learning how to work with Adobe after effects and I wanted to change my nick name and I thought "effects","eFect","aFect", but with 1 E it looks kinda bad to me so I added 1 more "aFeect", but it still sounds like aFect, you just say that E a little bit longer :d. That's how my nick name was born and I ended up with aFeect :D
