.....Grixis destroyed Esper. Just a little history lesson

Which is why I'm LadyGrixis. Not LadyLoserEsper

Sorry for hijacking this thread.

-Politely gives it back-

Back to usernames and origins thereof people!

[Deebiia]

I stole deebiia from a friend of my uncles. The friend was playing Final Fantasy 11 and the 'main' character he used was named deebiia. I got the account after he quit and have had it ever since. Before that I used Dog, Commander Dog, and other assortments of dog related names.. Most of which were taken. The only thing I know of deebiia being taken as a username on is reddit... -.-

[Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth]

jam hot damn.

reference to a Black Eyed Peas song?

[Gorzo]

The Onion. Name and gravatar both belong to my favorite columnist in that hilarious fake news source.

[Steerpike]

Steerpike is a character from my favorite book, 'Titus Groan'
His steady transition from forgettable servant type to a sort of grand and ever-scheming puller of strings among all the characters makes him the most memorable and the way he manipulates everything to his own ends is the type of persona I find fun to put on when playing Magic.

[FlickerYourOwnIdentity]

I liked {cloudshift} when I found this place, and I like to be a deep person.  But only when I'm making usernames.  I dunno why...

[Langku]

My last name and the first 2 letters of my first name. My freshman year of college it was my email account. It's an unusual letter blend that no one ever uses for handles / usernames so I can usually claim it on any site.

For the record Bant walks right on over the other shards.

And Dudecore is a great descriptor. Like dudebro but more wankerly.

[Mikefrompluto]

Mine comes from a terrible anime I love called Detective Conan.

Detective Conan rules.

I got my name from a style of beatdown/hardcore music that was popular about bros and respect. My friends and I dubbed it "Dudecore". It was basically a joke about a soulless, meaningless, bullying type of scene.

This whole time I thought it was a reference to Sonic Youth.

I totally get down to tough guy hardcore

The Long Island, NY tough guy scene was annoying. Most bands would run with a crew that would beat up everyone in the pit, including women. Lots of skin head groups rebranded themselves as beatdown bands also. After several violent confrontations, venue closes and arrests, the scene has died down.

I don't get the reference to Sonic Youth, never really listened to them.

I just remembered the source behind my avatar is from Long Island.

[Dudecore]

Dudecore bands had what we dubbed "brodowns" instead of breakdowns. For a scene built around "brotherhood" and "respect" had some of the most insanely disrespectful, backstabbing children life could produce. It forced most of the other local bands (myself included) to just play in Manhattan instead or people's backyards.

That documentary appears to cover early 90's hardcore on Long Island, I'm talking about mid-2000's era of beatdown. Beatdown is basically just hardcore with chugging breakdowns and occasionally blast beats. It's basically just wannabe Death Metal about fighting, drinking and family.

[MementoMori]

"Memento mori" is a Latin phrase meaning "remember your death" or "remember that you will die." I got it from Sophie's World, a book I read in high school, but as I've learned from people contacting me after I started using it, it shows up in plenty of other media, too.

fighting, drinking and family.

Every Blood for Blood song ever, in other words.

They somehow managed to ruin 3 awesome concepts. I blame Stray from the Path.

[InfinitiveDivinity]

I.D., a term I came up with a while back. Essentially it's another term for transcendence and immortality. A god-like state that is never ending. Like a demi-god, but with no lack of power.

Hahah I love Stray from the Path. Hardcore in general is goofy (as far as the lyrics go,) but that's one reason I love it. I like how laughable it is.
