Ha. On the contrary, I'm stone cold sober. You'd be better served by calling the beer store. ;)
TESTies, how did you think up your current handles?

Space Marshal
A play style i had in warzone 2100. Always coming up after the initial battle with a remedial force that turned out to be unpredictable after the main attack, much like an earthquakes aftershock.
SteakOfWar
Grand Admiral
I ran with the name "Stealthwar" for a long time, but then the name started to get used EVERYWHERE. So one day, while eating dinner, I just thought of "SteakOfWar"....can you guess what I was eating for dinner at the time?
I'm generally terrible when making up names, the last "original" name I thought up was for Battlefield 2's login.
But I decided to try and think up a new name for MMO games and such, so after a very long time and a large list of "what the hell is that?" I managed to piece together this name... But hey it works right?

My handle ("Erchael" for the less perceptive/most drunk;)) came into my life when I had to invent the name of a(nother) live RPG/live strategy game character in... 1998 ; I had many other characters, nicknames or handles during the years (and continue to do so even now in Star Citizen) but I always had a special relationship with this one who remained my main web avatar during all those years.
And for those who would think it's mad to get to the point an avatar gets any semblance of -virtual- reality, think again : at least, that means I'm never drinking alone. :P

I have used Narrator as a Handle/Name for quite a while.. Since around 2000 when a few friends and I played Vampire the Masquerade: Redemption. We really enjoyed the Storyteller mode and I always enjoyed making the levels. As friends would perform actions in game I would always find it funny to narrate what some of them were doing...:) After a while The name Narrator Stuck! Even so much that quite a few RL friends call me by the same name.
WaldoWohin
Admiral
In high school a science teacher called me Waldo one day. I loved it. Had a nice ring to it, good play on my real name and personality. It works for many things.
I did run around being called Mula Flaga for 5 years though.
But I came back to Waldo and I love it.

The Razgriz
Vice Admiral
Mine came from one of my favorite games from my teens, Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War. Not terribly original, but AC5 was one of the few games I was creepy good at... plus the story and the soundtrack were one of the best in the series IMO.
Ny real name is Kenny, So I thought of Ken-li when I was like 15 (as in Jet-li) because i was a badass ninja (lol), and it stuck.
And then this happened, and I was bound for a change.

Mine started back in EQ. I made the worlds worst warrior out of a gnome. I'm a fairly large guy in real life so I usually pick the smallest characters in-game. He was an alt, so by the time I made him all the good names were taken. A ton of "this name has already been taken" later I had a jumbled combination of "brutal" and "little". Hence, Bruttle was made. It didn't mean much at the time but it stuck. That's mainly due to its constant availability in most games.
So, for the last 17 or so years, I have been Bruttle. I've gone by the name in dozens of MMOs over the years. There's actually a good chance there are more people that know me as "Bruttle" than know me by my real name.

My wife occasionally does the same thing. That, and occasionally keying up to talk to me even though she is sitting 4 feet away... And yes, gamer girls absolutely exist. I married one and we are raising another. Here is where we spend our evenings as a family... (pardon the mess)
Steve Tank is my real name with only 2 letters changed.

Honestly no idea, but I know Star Citizen inspired it lol
The Jolly Green Giant is my military squadrons patch. We're Air Force Combat Search and Rescue. Back in the days of Vietnam we had a helicopter called the Sikorsky HH-3E instead of the HH-60's we have today and the ones you all probably know as the Blackhawk. It picked up the nickname "Jolly Green Giant because it was big, green, and anywhere it would land, it would leave an imprint which looked liked a giants footprint. People would say "looks like the Jolly Green Giant's been here." With Star Citizen I took the opportunity to give myself a better gaming handle, and why not something I take pride in, it's a squadron with a hell of a lot of history and I love that were saving lives more than were taking them. There's a lot on youtube about USAF CSAR in the early days if you're interested in that kinda stuff. I usually just post this short video to make the mission I support look super cool.
I started using Talos for WoW many years ago. I've always been a fan of Grecian mythology and since Talos was a giant bronze automation made to protect its people, it sounded seriously cool.

Simple, I like Red Dwarf and am terrible at many things. Also most of the character names were already taken.
Irishnutcase
Space Marshal
Took mine from an anime I used to watch a couple of years ago. I was thinking of keeping my old console name going (Irishinsainty05 or Irishnutcase05) but I thought about the travelling through the stars thing and taking up odd jobs here and there in the verse and It's what I came up with. That and booze was defiantly involved.
Could not find a clip on youtube that does Dutch's character justice. #tablethrow #tablethrow

No real bases for my name. Just an active imagination and i think sleep deprivation might have been involved.
My name is from two computers in Blake's 7. Orac was a very fast computer that could connect to other computers wirelessly and make predictions about the future. It comes from the name Oracle. Zen was a ship computer in the same 70's tv show and means relaxed.
