Plot twist: It's actually a reference to this one too:
Because I am the Alpha (Dengus) and the Omega (Taargus).
Way back when, I went by "Grim," and I have no real recollection as to why. I think it might've been a riff on Warcraft orcs.

What's cooler than pirates? Laser pirates, that's wut. Also, when I created my Dtoid account I think my usual handle, MrUppercut, was taken.
My old username was basically just used to troll folks. So when I realized I actually wanted to talk to people here, I chose one of my favorite Adult Swim characters. I also consumed a lot of weed and had no original thoughts at that time. By the time I cared enough to change it, it was way too late.
My story is not very interesting since Fuzunga is just a name I made up out of nowhere. I used to play Worms a lot when I was a kid and I had a team called the Stoopid Squad consisting of Yom, Kai-Chi, Dude 49, and Bob. They released a new game at one point that allowed for six worm teams so I had to add two more members and I came up with Dr. Lame and Fuzunga. I ended up liking the name Fuzunga so much that I started using it for everything.
Before that, I used to call myself N-Man. The N stood for NIntendo because I love Nintendo.

Been there, man. My XBox account is Robotsindisguise - I was watching transformers when I made it. I have to say I've contributed a fair bit to making Napster chat rooms and Xbox multiplayer someplace to avoid. I was that teen yelling "Penis" in Rainbow Six online.
Back when Halo PC originally came out, I came up with Thrillkill after hearing about that banned PS1 game. I liked getting kills in that game, so I went with it.
After awhile it started sounding silly, so one time when my friend and I were talking exercise and situps he said he should call me Turbo. He never did, fortunately, but I was always terrible with names so I swapped Thrill with Turbo. Never bothered coming up with a username ever since.
Though I did start using Leeroy Janky on Xbox and I actually quite like that name. Describes my gaming skills well...

I actually used to picture 9-volt when I read your name, ha. That's neat
I went by Neronium for a long time before trying to brand everything under Roxas1359 for my YouTube channel. When I rebranded my YouTube channel I went back to Neronium for online stuff. What stinks though is I should have gone with Maxieon, mainly cause my username keeps getting spelled Necronium in YouTube searches which is annoying.
My friend told me to get a steam account, but said I needed to pick a name and stick with it. I had always just made up stupid stuff (went by Neurvall for a long time after an autocorrect changed it from Nuckalavee).
I had been to an Albrecht Durer and Andreas Vesalius exhibition not long before. Then one night, as I stared blankly at my computer screen, I overheard the television in the background. It was the Abominable Dr. Phibes, and the main doctor he was trying to kill was Dr. Vesalius. So I took it as a sign.

My screen name has a dumb origin. Since I'm not the creative type, the idea I had was to just scramble my real name and try to make an anagram. I was also really into the Norse Mythos at the time, so I tried to make it sound slightly foreign and cool. I came up with "Niorjd", which was kinda similar to the Norse god "Njord", the guy associated with wealth and fertility (two things I lack 
). Turns out, that nickname was dumb to write and stupid to pronounce, so a friend suggested I cut the last two letters. Turns out I still got my wish, cause Nior is apparently the Swedish word for "nine". Funny how life works eh?

I have a bunch of usernames I tend to default to, but none of them seemed right after a while. They weren't anonymous enough either. So I chose the first kamen rider reference I could think of that wasn't too absurd or obscure. Hence "CycloneJoker", for the base form of kamen rider double.
... I don't remember much of the series, though, and I don't think it would be in my top 3.

Actually, JuIc3 was heavily inspired by a previous forum member who went by PK_Juicebox. PK was a pretty rad guy.
