lol. Crunch's origin stories. I'll post mine because I want to sound like a big boy...
(2006) When I first registered with BF2 I used the name "Raptor114", after the Bird, Dinosaur and the Jetfighter. I often used the number 114 in a lot of things. While I still used this one (and if I still played online would still use) I felt it was rather corny and decided to go something more "Me".
(2007/early 08)"Me" translates as wannabe Hipster (or the equivalent at the time), so for a while I played off the fact that I was new in a country (Australia) and started using "Relatively_lost" for a short while as thats how I felt. It later changed to Uhh... for a short while because I couldn't think of a name before being ridiculed sometimes here so I changed it to "Someguy114".
However later in 2008 I noticed that I had acquired the nickname "Stevo" amongst my Australian friends (Ironic, since my real name is "Stephen", without the "v"), and sought something along those lines. Realising that 5nip3rxxakjas;lekfjas;lfjas or what ever his name was (Last time it was =Creepy_kitty= before he was banned) was leetspeech for Sniper I decided to go with a name that combined my IRL nickname with Internet-isms. So thats how I adopted 5t3v0 in 2009. Though the annoying thing is its a common-ish name, so you'll also see my more common alternate: "5t3v0esque."
Actually, come to think of it, I'm thinking of changing my TGN name to 5t3v0esque now, but my BF3 account is still 5t3v0. Though I think there is some guy who makes frag videos who had to use the name "5t3vO" because of me. I got the occasional friend request from guys who thought he was me.
