[Kroesis]

Had the user name (handle as it was back then) Croesis, as a modification of a name of a rogue Borg, for years.
Due to signing up to Xbox and subsequently forgetting the original details and they're not freeing up unused gamer tags, I changed it to Kroesis.
Been that way ever since.

[KaosPenguin]

some a-hole came up with the non leet version of the name before I did so I had to use leet for most places but basically I've gone through a lot of name changes all of em contain penguin in it.

I love me some penguins, especially Adelie penguins. This recent one was cause I got into Warhammer 40k again and I'm a fan of Chaos and I prefer the Swedish spelling of that and that's how it stuck. Kaos Penguin, now picture an Adelie penguin in chaos space marine armor.

here's a wallpaper for reference of the armor: http://i.imgur.com/uhsA4AC.jpg

[MR CauSe iM GoD]

Long story short: Found my quote from the gearbox forums...

MR CauSe iM GoD...

This all originated from my nickname from one of the older football players back when I was a Sophomore in High School. He would call me smoker, because of the way I talk. I talk softly and don't enunciate my words well. So it sounds like I smoke alot, but really I don't smoke at all.

When I started playing Xbox Live a lot, I started playing a lot of PSU (Phantasy Star Universe - A JRPG). My first game that I ever really got into. I played the demo, never made a character that was a cast, so I wanted to try that. So my 1st character online was a Male Cast. It took me about 20 minutes to think of that name. I wanted it to be original and be the only one, so I thought... I my name to involve smoking, because I don't smoke and people always assume that I smoke, because of the way I talk and of my relaxed attitude towards everything, or even how I am always paying attention but not really paying attention. But anyway I wanted a acronym since my character was a cast. I always think its kinda funny when you meet someone who is really into themselves... because you are always like... seriously this guy is a ******... if you don't know who they really are until you start hanging out with them... then its like oh your really not that bad... less of a ******. So I though of Cig after trying a few combinations with different words, I was like that is ******* awesome I am going to use that. When running with people, doing missions and stuff, I would throw up this shortcut...

Most of the people I ran with like it. So it stuck. The 10 or so people that I normally run with or play other games with. Always call me Cig. Even the people I play Borderlands with call me Cig. Since that is who I normally introduce myself online... God works to I like that.

[BleakPanther]

When I first got xbox live, i was trying to figure out a GT and my wife walked in and saw "bleakpanther" as a random suggestion and said "That suits you." I added my personal touch to that and ran with BleakPanther as my online handle across the interwebz. No that's not my my GT, close but not quite.

I'd like to assume that she was considering me a majestic and powerful beast but it probably has more to do with my generally bleak and cynical outlook on most things.

[H4RDC0D3D]

The name H4RDC0D3D, is something new, but representative of the way I am.

DSQC, is something older, a private Clan/guild/Gang/Group of RL friends gaming together since the NES era.

Hoping for Defiance game & TV-Show to be my next time sink for a while.
