How'd you get your username?

I already answered this in another thread but here it goes:

Gus Tarballs is Jagged Alliance's series african-american top priced jack of all trades highly experienced mercenary for hire..

My friends call me a "mental slave" due to me preffering doing hired work instrad starting my own buisness (a.k.a slave like africans used to be in us)
I'm sort of like constantly complaining so my friends tell me I whine like an old man ( Tarballs is old and tends to complain some too in his voice lines)
I also have a wide range of skills all of which all of I'm at least medicore at. Just Like Tarballs in JA2
I have sometimes indepth knowledge on various topics ppl around me didn't realize or realized I had, which i like to share around. Youngsters tend to listen to me like a pigs to a thunder ( my husky, low pitched, loud and highly resonanting voice, tends to always draw ppl's attention when I speak), hence the eqivalent of high teach skills Tarballs had in JA2..
the fact in old Polish description hiered worker and a mercenary is identical, hence hired job doer = a mercenary, like Tarballs :p

all that and 1983 my birth and tarballs's career start year acording to lore..

Stars aligned and there it went...
 
On the occasion of Mikołaj, as a president, I was completing first aid kits for my friends, like those from FO
 
I remember when first entering The Den in Fallout 2 the theme "Khans of New California" would play and it became one of my favorite themes of the classic franchise. Coupled with the fact that the Loser Outfits equipped on the drug addicts of the Den fits very perfectly with their lifestyle. Whenever that music would play in the loop it goes, the losers walking in the streets would sync perfectly with their walking animations almost in a mesmerizing way to my eyes while complementing my ears to the tune. Lastly, I always felt the music was perfect for the location, not because of the Slaver's Guild but for the upbeat drum instruments that would play. As if this location was, in one way to put it the New York equivalent of the Concrete Jungle. Further going with the jungle rhythm the drums play. The music describes in audio how dangerous this place is. There's a message when you first arrive even tells you that this is a dangerous place and one should own a gun if they were to tread around here.

That's my origin
 
I'm username fluid so I've also been seen as Hamhock Malone. Not on NMA though, I'm not one of those friggin jagoffs that completely changes their 12 thousand post username that I don't recognize and I'm too lazy to figure out who they were originally.

Mine is from back in the days of AOL being synonymous with "The Internet", at least where I lived anyway. The year was 1997.

I was trying to come up with a super-cool username but all the totally rad stuff my 12-or-13-year-old brain came up with was already taken. Literally EVERYTHING that I came up with. So after about an hour I tired of that and just wanted to be done with it.

So I did what anyone would do in such an epic dilemma -- I button-mashed the sturdy IBM AT keyboard of my 486 and looked at the results. After trimming a bunch of leading and trailing characters, I had what to me looked kind of like a name. I pulled out a couple letters and had my shiny new username. I don't remember where or what the extra letters were (sorry) but after those two or three letters were out, what I was left with was "Sduibek".

People seem to have trouble pronouncing it, wanting to pronounce the first part as "squid".

Years ago, my brother made a couple of characters in Soul Calibur III for PS2 and one of them was called Millim.
I just kind of stole the name for a while as it sounded kind of cool.
 
John doe is the police's fill-in name for an unidentified male corpse, Used for how generic and mundane it sounds. I like it for the sense of anonymity it brings.
