The story behind my name isn't that interesting. I started using it in the late 90's after many attempts to create an account on some website (MSN gaming zone?). I kept getting a "this username is already in use" message with every name I tried so I figured I would just make up a nonsense name.
Since then, I have become a monster and a colour!

Off shoot of one of my other profile names. I have no idea whether it's ironic or not, at times. Always nice to point to it when someone calls be dastardly though!

It's a reference to the Aldous Huxley book "The Doors of Perception: Heaven and Hell". The same book the band "The Doors" got their name from. Mind at large was one of his theories and I'll leave it at that!

I was 20 and just looking for a cool grandiose name.

Who knows what was going through my hormone-filled head at the time.

I just use the name whenever available now, because I'm used to it.

There are lots of people on GOG from the Czech Republic or otherwise from Slavic backgrounds and this is something I have often been asked and will often be asked again. Keeping my link handy. :)

Mine is a nickname from another username, one I got when I used to be heavy in an anime forum, and became eventual moderator. When the website self destructed I didn't want to leave the name behind, so I held onto the initials and rolled it into a new email account and some new user accounts around the internet.

Fiach was my last dogs name (sadly popped his clogs since), it's gaelic for "hunt".

Honestly, my original "handle" was the Locksmaster. A lot of people started calling me "Locks" for short, or even shorter, "Lox."

I was in a chat room one night, and someone remarked that LOX is actually Liquid Oxygen, and it kinda stuck, then people started calling me LoXie, so I just kinda ran with it. If you see other Liquid Oxygens around, the chances are pretty high that it's me.

CptFandango: I imagine most people think mine is a reference to the game but here is the story....

When I was a kid I was at this all day punk gig at a pub called the abbey. There was a guy there wearing an apron and chefs hat selling space biscuits and jumping on tables and the walls outside shouting "I AM CAPTAIN FANDANGO, GET YER' SKUNKWINE, GET YER' SPACE BISCUITS" etc. He ended up doing quite well! and the landlord endorsed pub dealer didn't mind as he was entertained by his shtick.

Anyways later on when everyone is starting to get messed up the landlords rottweiler monster escaped and was running around with duncan (landlord) trying to get him as he is a bit vicious. Anyways captain fandango decides its a good idea to get on his hands and knees and try to feed monster a space biscuit from his mouth. Of course this goes horribly wrong, monster took and ate the biscuit instantly (looked like he inhaled it) then he bit the end of fandango's nose off. His girlfriend managed to get it and put it behind the bar in a pint pot which the barstaff kept topped up with ice and fandango carried on drinking (he was still going strong when I left).

This seems a bit gritty and horrible to most but it was a rough pub so this was seen as nothing major and everyone (even fandango) thought it was funny.

So ever since because I really like the sound of the name captain fandango and it brings back a mental memory I have used it for gaming logins and whatnot since!
I really want this to be true because it is the most awesome story I've ever read. Trust me. I've read plenty stories but this is by far the bestest.
