==[[User:cianky|cianky]]== | |||
I mean it's quite literally just my first name, plus the first character of my surname, along with a 'y' chucked on the end of it. But it works! | |||

The year that I joined DCU Hasselhoff was given a star on the Hollywood walk of fame. With all the new challenges in my life at that time I found that he was someone I could look up to. I could admire his achievements. He was like an uncle to me. I grew up on Kinght Rider and am looking forward to the new movie coming out this year. And then when I got a little older and started noticing girls I got interested in Baywatch. I wanted to be the stud that he was on that show. Appropriately in 2000 when I joined redbrick he released one of his many hit albums in Germany - "The Magic Colleciton". So I chose david as my redbrick username because ... well actually its not that interesting really, its my name in real life. | The year that I joined DCU Hasselhoff was given a star on the Hollywood walk of fame.

==[[User:Mehow|Mehow]]== | |||
So uhh it's like my name but actually except my name is Michał because it's stupid and Polish and it's pronounced "Mehow" so I just kinda started spelling it that way but also it's super neat because when I'm introducing myself to people I get to be like "I'm Mehow, it's like the sound a cat makes but with a H in it" and they're all like "I thought your name was Jason" and then I have to run away because for like a year I told people my name was Jason because it's easier to explain. | |||

==[[User:payne|payne]]== | |||
Pretty simple! I like Max Payne, and I know very well that I'm a ''pain'' in the arse for a good chunk of people. You know who you are. | |||
For a while my original RB name was reflective of my IRL name, but during the summer of 2023, after binge-playing Max Payne 1-3, I decided it'd be a fitting title to use. | |||
Also, an unintended side effect of being payne - being the PRO for a bit meant that my hoodie was PRO payne, ergo, 'propane'. | |||

Long story, guys i used to know named me Wilburtino, i didnt really like it cos they were muppets. However, it grew on me over time. Wanted Wilburtino or Will as my username but they wouldnt let me :( so wilburt was the only one left. Like all rb usernames i think, they are spur of the moment. (or admin mistakes) | Long story, guys i used to know named me Wilburtino, i didnt really like it cos they were muppets. However, it grew on me over time.

==[[User:xoreax|xoreax]]== | |||
Inspired by the username of this cybersecurity guy who gave a really cool talk at DEFCON about an Intel ME (yes, ring -3) exploit iirc. and it stuck with me. we're cooked. | |||
Also the better way to zero out EAX [xor eax, eax]. Pronounced either /X-or-E-A-X/, /X-R-X/ or just /xerox/. | |||
