  • There was a Diablo II player in 2002 called "scrotore".

    I didn't think this one would stick. Now I'm in too deep to switch.

  • When I was a young warthog, I needed my first username. I thought to myself "what's cool, that I can base my name on?" "Gansters are cool!" "How about Al Capone? He's cool. He is even a good person. He invented milk expiration dates or something like that." "But I can't just have that name, I have to make it cooler. I'll write it using l337 speak."

    Thus, my username "alkpwn" (plus some numbers because it was taken on Xbox live) was born.

    Quickly, I realized people didn't always understand it. They would have trouble pronouncing it when they saw it in halo 2. From "Al capn" to "Alk pawn", I got all sorts of pronunciations.

    My friends ended up just shortening it to Alk. And here we are.

  • I play games, was 7 at the time so wanted to seem grown-up, and my first name is Harry.... Yeah, creative I know
