wrecko comes from me watching The Green Beret frag video, seeing the name Reko and thinking it was cool so I changed it to wrecko to stop confusion, plagiarism ftw

I used to go by Gallenger back on heat.net, the ALFA project and Gamespy, because it was a name for my first actually successful d&d character...

But for tf2 I decided to advertise my political leanings because like once a year I get an interesting discussion out of it.

Sure chocolate ice cream is tasty. But you can put any topping or add anything you want and it works with vanilla.

On the first computer I built, on the 1st day, this was the 1st virus I got. It was basically just a popup virus that hooked itself to explore.exe and would popup "Comanglia!!! Comanglia!!! Comanglia!!!" and if you would close out of it 2 more would appear, and 1 would appear every 10s.

Oh, and it would make all web browsers use some form of Chinese for the language.

Eventually I reformatted my computer, and my friends and I got together and had a LAN party and I had to name myself something for when we played CoD2 and didn't want to be "player", and I just kinda kept it since then.

Got it from winRAR

I started playing TF2 and wanted to create an alias and there was a Where's Waldo book sitting on my bed for god knows why. I'm not imaginative at all.

falkflyer: Was my username for a long time, I was into writing short stories when I was younger and Falk Flyer was some space alter ego of myself I came up with.

๖falco: Switched over to this because I thought Falco was the best video game character of all time (still arguable). The wing on the side came from that weird combination of symbols that makes the first letter of someone's name look like it's on fire, I just took it out because it looked like a wing and I thought it was neat.

๖RFE (Rock, Flag and Eagle!): I wanted to be like Charlie and go America on everyone's ass.

-tC: Ah, the good old age of names-with-dashes-in-them (see what I did there). My initials, they seemed to look kinda cool and two letter names were all the rage.

synchro: When I finally decided to be a serious gamer I wanted a serious gamer name, I could go MLG pro if I wanted now.

MrFraggy1414: This is my LoL name. I picked it because it's the kind of name where, if I got destroyed in a game by someone called "MrFraggy1414" I'd be really mad. I know it's successful when I get a lot of "more like MrFaggy1414"s.

Before I started playing TF2, I'd watch a lot of "pro" gameplay (no fragvids until year later rolf) such as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4I4PEHQ-pVU and a bunch of stabbystabby videos, and was convinced that pyro and spy had the highest skill ceilings of any class (ya ok). I wanted a named to showcase my love of these high-skill classes: after watching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GNnftq744I , and having read on TVTropes that highly-skilled pyros were refered to as "pyromancers", I went with the name Spyromancer.
The fact that it can be read at least three different ways is just a nice bonus :)

an account of mine got deleted in a school forum so I made a new one called account-less to hint at the issue. I shortened it to acc-less later and liked the sound.

It's actually pronounced ack-less (like atlas but with a K sound) but apparently that is too abstract so people prefer ace- or axe-less . -.

Mine came from playing ultimate frisbee. I was the "plan b" when we had the frisbee. If nobody looked open, throw it as far as you could towards the end zone and I would always try to chase it down.... I set the school record for most points scored all time(388 points) in any sport and our club always called the frisbee a disc, so when my classmates heard of this discb was created and it stuck.
Which also makes me slightly bitter since I only got to play one season before getting injured and that was the one season the club didn't make top 4 in the state tournament in the last 5 years.

My name when I first started playing video games was slippa. I got this from when I was like 14, and I looked down at my feet and I was wearing slippers. But since I am on og, I had to make it slippa instead of slipper. But then I grew up and decided to shorten it to slipz like all the other cool kids.

People used to call me Armio in football, slightly different than the proper way to pronounce my last name, Armijo. Move the m to the front and you have mario.

Contrary to popular belief I don't actually care about little jumping Italian men.

when i first started playing tf2 i ran a server for my team and i would always crash it and kick people from it by accident. Whenever this happened my team would yell at me "god your retarded i bet you tack the shortbus to school." and it kinda stuck i guess.

I had a chance encounter with the youtube suggestion bar and it was a lets play of Earthbound. Got hooked on the game, really liked the sound of PK Rockin', so it started with pkrockin199x because that seems to be available everywhere. Later shortened to PK Rockin, now just PK.

Mumble calls me "park" though :(
