So I've been ogling everyone's username all over this game, and some of them are actually kind of interesting, but I know nothing about the canon and am too lazy/don't have the means to find out. So it's time for

USERNAME MEME

1. Post with your account names.
2. State why you chose the username. Is it an inside fandom joke? A horrible pun? Canon relevant? Go nuts.

Man, 4 minutes to 9AM EST is the perfect time to post this.

SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[i-would-kindly.livejournal.com]

Jack has to follow any order prefaced by the phrase "Would you kindly..."

So...

Hurrr. So clever.

[a_perfect_end]

This username describes both his goal, and what happens to him in the film, and I really just kinda...lucked into it.

...Sam's is better, though. ;p

[smellslikejail.livejournal.com]

ffff, no it isn't. IT'S NOT EVEN RELEVANT. It was just a dumb quote from the first fifteen minutes of the movie! xD

[moira-brown.livejournal.com]

This is just her name in canon, hurr hurr borrrring.

W-we can't all be winners. T_T

[mymothersshadow.livejournal.com]

While Cortana's basically being mind raped by this handsome devil (http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Gravemind), she spouts off various quotes related to the Halo books (specifically Fall of Reach) and greater lore. One of the quotes is "Don't look at me! I'm just my mother's shadow!", a reference to the fact that she was created from the brain of her "mother", Dr. Catherine Halsey.

It is very unfunny. :|

[creepersphere.livejournal.com]

HE'S A CREEPER and Monitor's are pretty round.

[dismembers.livejournal.com]

Dismembers, as in the dismemberment of her prey items!!

[enough-bodybags.livejournal.com]

enough_bodybags! comes from one of Medic's quotes: "Eins, zwei, drey...Ugh, I do not zhink ve brought enough bodybags!"

...Though, I have a better RED Medic account name elsewhere. shoothimfirst.

"In computer programming, cohesion is a measure of how strongly-related the functionality expressed by the source code of a software module is."

"Social cohesion is a term used in social policy, sociology and political science to describe the bonds or "glue" that bring people together in society, particularly in the context of cultural diversity."

Jorge's call sign, herp.

[dimidiate.livejournal.com]

Etymology: < L dimidiatus, pp. of dimidiare, to divide into halves < dimidium, a half < dis-, apart, from + medius, mid
transitive verb dimidiated -·at′ed, dimidiating -·at′·ing
Archaic: to halve

Nue are always born in pairs, but Nue was separated from his twin--his other half.

[harpocratic.livejournal.com]

Harpocrates (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harpocrates) is the god of silence. The shadow is, primarily, a silent creature, totally unable to create sound without outside help (ie the voices and noises it echoes).

[qcksilverspear.livejournal.com]

In canon, she is fucking fast and fluid, so I wanted to reference that, hence 'quicksilver', and then the 'spear' is pretty self-explanatory :p I may change it if I can think of something better, but it's sort of been growing on me.

[chttrbox-recon.livejournal.com]

DO I REALLY NEED TO EXPLAIN THIS ONE?!

[manipul8trix.livejournal.com]

Yes.

At length and in great detail whilst going off on several tangents that last for minutes at a time. :I

[robots-omgh8u.livejournal.com]

It's lame, but the truth is I tried for like a week to think up of a name that wasn't already taken. Finally I gave up and asked a friend and this is what I got. It's kind of grown on me over time I'll admit, but I do sometimes wish I had zazzier one.

So much Zazz.

[cmdr-renegade.livejournal.com]

DO not apologize for this. I lol'd heartily.

[itsdecaf.livejournal.com]

Mine comes from the orange ring around the coffee pot in his Meet The video:



Protip: orange carafe is full of decaf. Don't give it to the regular who orders the quintuple espresso.

[standaloneshell.livejournal.com]

standaloneshell is based on the show's title. I wish I could say that it was clever and based on the fact that with Motoko missing most of her early childhood memories that she's the literal example of the standalone complex, the copy with no original.

But you know, that's a retcon. I couldn't think of a clever name when I made her account.

blackcatjiji is that way because when I went to make his journal, Bolt had recently come out and all the journalnames that combined any form of "cat" with any form of "sarcasm" or synonyms were all taken by Mittens RPers.

So my journal names are super boring. :|

I'm sorry.

[azulescarabajo.livejournal.com]

It's Spanish (though not technically grammatically correct) for Blue Beetle. 'Cause he's Mexican-American.

Get it?

[modelscientist.livejournal.com]

Allow me to explain through this pamphlet video.

[itsdecaf.livejournal.com]

omgthatwasfuckingcute.

[raptorwithagun.livejournal.com]

Well...

He's a raptor.

He has a gun.

That's about it.

[cmdr-renegade.livejournal.com]

MAN, none of mine are witty.

cmdr_renegade, is Commander Renegade. Because she's a Commander, and RENEGADE, the Mass Effect classification for being a dick.

cupcake_dress, because Kaylee wears this. (http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m27/lapis_lazuli615/Costuming/kayleefluffy_reference.jpg)

dug_the_dog, because he's a dog. His name is Dug.

thiswaydaddy, because the little sisters grab on to their big daddy's hand and drag them too and fro saying "This way daddy" and also because she lead her own father to his ultimate demise in Rapture. :C

glad_2_see_u. She really is happy to see you. Or Glad. Or GLaD. The text speak was intentional because seriously, lol.

[brokenbowfetish.livejournal.com]

He has lots of fetishes. One of them involves broken bows.

THE END.

[hyperlethality.livejournal.com]

Taking note of Noble Six's combat rating as "hyper lethal," a rating given to Master Chief, as well.

LATE LIKE A LATE THING

Uh, Sam's comes from a scene near the beginning of the movie. Alan comes to visit Sam in his shipping container apartment because HE GOT A PAGE FROM FLYNN'S ARCADE OMG, but Sam isn't in the mood to hear it--and he doesn't appreciate Alan's attempts at being a substitute father, anyway.
--------
Sam: Oh Alan, you’re the only one who still believes that [Kevin Flynn is alive]. He’s either dead or chillin’ in Costa Rica--or probably both! [sigh] Look, I’m sorry, I’m tired and I smell like jail. Let’s just reconvene in another couple of years, huh, what d'you say?

[timeforviolence.livejournal.com]

/more late

Batou's is pretty simple, from his quote in GITS2: Innocence (ironically, the canon he isn't based on) "When talking fails, it's time for violence." It sums him up pretty well, but it's not my most inventive username.

In hindsight, HackedUrEyesPal would have been more clever.
