The return of pigmann
I finally figured out how to share my laptop’s internet connection with my Xbox 360. The result was eight straight hours of online Gears of War last Friday. As with any other online account, I had to create a user name. In a throwback to 1997, I went with my original online moniker, Pigmann. Several people commented on it, and during game play I was often referred to as piggy or just plain pig. Probably the best username I came across was Muffin Man. Turns out, Muffin Man was quite good. Before one match my teammates were talking about strategy and how we needed to stop Muffin Man. Then, as we headed into battle, somebody said, “I’m gonna get a big glass of milk and take out the Muffin Man.” It’s a far cry from the trash talking I was expecting to hear, and we all had a good chuckle before being blown to bits or ripped to shreds with the chainsaw bayonet by the nefarious Muffin Man.
