*more meaningless backstory on my usernames*
I briefly considered a name having to do with the occult, (I once had an online chat alter-ego named "DarkChilde" -- redundant, eh?) but everything I thought of sounded vaguely 12-year-oldish, or someone had already used.
I flirted with "Debunker" once I lost my patience for the "I'm the Great and Powerful Oz" types.
I used "Bistromath", after the famed ship of Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, for some time.
I considered "fagroolana," which was a word used by Don Martin in MAD Magazine, to describe the sound made by a morgue slab being slid open, but dropped it for its audio connotations.
THAT is when I decided on First of Two.

Mine comes from the fact that I work as part of the Tech/Running crew for plays at my college. I'm one of the best and I can fix/make just about anything that is needed. So the name Tec was born.

I just needed something ominous to use in "Wing Commander" for a callsign. I'm sure lots of Kilrathi know the ancient Greek alphabet. You'd be surprised who understands it and who doesn't.

A little late... but, and this seems obvious to most people by now given my status line and signature, Calvin & Hobbes. I remember reading the comics as a little kid and loving it. Then when I got AOL I couldn't think of a screen name so I went up to my room and saw some C&H stuff. That was over 2 years ago and I've been using the name ever since.

Hmm. In Wing Commander I was predictable and either went for "Enterprise" or "Defiant". Although for most recent games I tend to use the name "Scourge".
