another game night
I had another video game night this past weekend. Before I got started though, I had to update my account. I considered changing my icon, but ultimately decided not to. However, this did get me thinking about icons in general and how we, the internet generations, choose screen names and icons that represent us. My screen name is Pigmann, my icon is a cartoonish image of a screaming man whose eyeballs are bulging out of his head. What does that say about me? There is a serious cultural study to be done here. Here are a few names of other gamers I played with:
Retireguy06
KERMIT101
Buttercup X
BEEF BOI
HOTDOG SMUGGLER
thepoopofdeath
Of course there are also a slough of names like CapBuster, BlutTwister420, Death4U and other names that “hardcore” 15 year-olds find intimidating. I look for games with the funnier names because I think they tend to be less serious players who are more fun to play with.
Overheard: After being ripped to shreds with a chainsaw by thepoopofdeath somebody remarked, “Man, he really is the poop of death.”
