What's the story behind your name?

Plasma lamp, illustrating some of the more complex phenomena of a plasma, including filamentation. The colors are a result of relaxation of electrons in excited states to lower energy states after they have recombined with ions. These processes emit light in a spectrum characteristic of the gas being excited.

Contrary to some belief on here, my name does not come from Jack Scagnetti from Natural Born Killers, but rather is named after the unseen character of Seymour Scagnetti from Reservoir Dogs, hence the extra "S". He was portrayed as a total jerk and someone who always got his way and was never messed with to his face, much like the way I play TF2 when I'm just totally pwning.

I started out playing all games as Voldemort. I switched recently to Knucklehead in honor of a friend of mine who was recently killed. He loved Harleys and was one of if not the best mechanic in this area.

One of the first names I used was A6yrOldGirl while playing America's Army. In the corner of your screen it would say "so-and-so was killed by AyrOldGirl" or "you have killed A6yrOldGirl." For obvious reasons, when I began the clan life I got a different name.
A friend who played some Air Force game was Razgriz, and he suggested the name Archer as that name was one of the other pilots. It had a good ring to it and have used it mainly under the variation of XxArcherXx. The Xx's being suggested by another friend who said they were "hard core".
At one point I used a different alias, Renegade when I picked up CS:S originally. =UFW=ReNeGaDe looked kinda cool and is the name I had for my xfire/steam (hence, ren0gade being my username for both). Everyone still knew me as "Archer" and called me such anyways so I figured I'd change back to it for good.

lets see the story to my name... Zetsumei, Jinsei in that order. Zetsumei means Death, its also a name I used in a story I once wrote along time ago in a galaxy far far away. So I just kept it with me since I enjoy japanese culture and stuff of the like. After a wile I tagged a name of exact opposite, Jinsei, which means life to the front of it. So my name means Life and Death, the reason I used it for tf2 was becasue of my love for the medic, and thus my name stuck to this... and basicly a the same name I use for anything anymore.

For awhile I went by Tunnel Rat and Sewer Rat, and played Kalt and Anzio a lot. This was years ago, before source. I also went by Chairman Meow, too.
When I bought Steam I thought I'd pay homage to the Brits in the N. Africa Campaign with the name. I knew Desert Fox would largely be taken, but not too many people know of the Siege of Tobruk (and the movies about it).
Plus the real desert rat is awesome:
