At the time that I was starting to go to Newgrounds more and more often, I had been playing PLENTY of Armored Core...I forget which Armored Core it was, but the main stage of operation was on the Martian Moon, Phobos...I thought it was kinda cool that it was a moon with such a massive crater in the middle of it, that it kinda looked like the death star...

So then my Dad starts introducing me to all of this Sci-Fi, fantasy literature, some of it talking about moons not being hunks of rocks at all, but Alien ships and lost fragments of alien technology and shit, so I started putting two-and-two together and made, "Phobos Technology, Phobotech."...when I researched it further, I came to find that "Phobos" was originally the Greek God of Fear, and the son of Ares...I only grew to love the user-name more and more from there out...plus it's nothing like my actual name, where I've gotten nothing but ridicule, misspellings, and mispronunciations. (Geoff Galt) So it was a healthy escape from reality.

When I showed my friends my newly adopted moniker, a few of 'em said, "What, like Robotech?" and although I loved the show, I didn't mean it to be any reference, so early on in all of my reviews and even my Signature, I often capped off with the foot-note "Phobos Technology, Phobotech" to avoid confusion...after a while, though, I just said "Fuckit, let them think what they think."

...recently, some Newgrounders are led to believe I'm afraid of technology...because they are idiots...there is no "I" in my username...

Well when i was really little i signed up to runescape, i tried putting in Daniel (im such a moron :D) but it gave me a list of alternate usernames, and i picked the one at the top which was

Daniel123297

It's not an epic story and no-one cares.

I ran. I ran until my muscles burned, and my veins pumped battery acid. Then I ran some more.

Well, my very first username was on the Adult Swim message board as "knux2003".
After I left AS I went to a Sonic forum as "knux&rouge"
However when registering to a different forum, they didn't take the ampersan in usernames, so it was edited to "knuxrouge", to keep things safe and non-confusing, it stayed that way.
in a few other sites, I am alternatively known as "KR" or more commonly, "KRkun".


what happened to this place?

I took my name from the archangel Raguel after reading Neil Gaiman's short story 'Murder Mysteries'.

It's a story about angels working on the creation of Earth (before it was created obviously) where each angel has a specific function.

At one point, an angel is murdered (the first murder ever) and Raguel, the angel of justice is brought into being because that is his function.

Overall I chose the name because Raguel only cares about what logically makes sense and is right and would take on God himself if he thought that God had committed an injustice. The Catholic church itself is unsure as to whether Raguel is on the side of Heaven or Hell and I like that.

I will always call a person out if they've done wrong regardless of who they are and and I've lost a few friends temporarily because of it, but they always come back and either apologise or thank me for it so I felt that the name applied.

* Does your username have a huge epic story behind it?

I got high and stared at breadfish.co.uk for an hour while listening to pink floyd. AND yes so epic.

* And does anyone really care?

That's the thing people want to know.

It's a story about angels working on the creation of Earth (before it was created obviously) where each angel has a specific function.

And this is much less important.

At one point, an angel is murdered (the first murder ever) and Raguel, the angel of justice is brought into being because that is his function.

You want to get murdered too?

Overall I chose the name because Raguel only cares about what logically makes sense and is right and would take on God himself if he thought that God had committed an injustice. The Catholic church itself is unsure as to whether Raguel is on the side of Heaven or Hell and I like that.

You want to be the part of the Catholic mythology? Well, you got a big chance, just find a philosophy that will interest a bilion of people and you are in the game.

I will always call a person out if they've done wong regardless of who they are and and I've lost a few friends temporarily because of it, but they always come back and either apologise or thank me for it so I felt that the name applied.

Well, you sure can write everything that you are able to write about your name. If there was some way to vote for this discription of name I should vote middle, it was half interesting, and the bigger half boring.

I was playing Warcraft 3 with a 7-year olds username, with my countrys tag on it (DK) then someone mixed it up for being Death Knight.
Then I thought something along the lines:
Dennis Klyver (My name)
DenmarK (Country of origin)
Death Knight (...Sounds cool as a title :P)

At first I thought of DDDKKK, but after looking at it some times... It was a pain... So I came up with TripleDK!!

I came to Newgrounds.
I went to the sign up sheet.
I entered Static121, but some douchebag had already taken my name.
So i use this secondhand name that isn't nearly as cool.

That bastard didn't even capitalize it :(
