On the origin of user names

[Moge]

Lord Zetta reminds me of Gill.  You have to ask yourself: is there anything more badass than fighting a Greek God?  I didn't think so.  Hypergill's the next best thing imo.

[Hyperguy]

I concur.

Can you dig it?

I ain't a sucka, I can dig eet!

[MMX]

I vote Hyperboy.




You know you could just go with Hyper Web Services, Inc. if you wanna be all "professional"-y and whatnot.

I mean right?  Just use the name "Hyper" and make some fake cardboard cutout "company" that "specializes" in "web services" and blah blah

I can't believe you're freaking out about such a thing regarding the desire to be A WEB CONTENT DEVELOPER.  They're like a dime a dozen you don't need a professional sounding name ffs it's like shit you do in the garage and sell on ebay I mean... wait what was I talking about again?  I've completely lost my train of thought.

[Hyperguy]

I'm not freaking out, but I do think it's a valid concern.  I'm not really interested in running a web solutions company.  I already do freelance web services and its just that I don't why to shy away any potential customers.  So far this site is the best example of what I'm capable of, but I don't want to put myself in a position where I have to explain hentai before I'm able to start work.  This site's geared towards my hobbies, so despite it being all tricked out, contentwise it wouldn't help me land a gig.

So what I'm realizing is that I should make another website and use another username so as to appeal to potential customers.  I could use my real name, which is simple enough, or a nickname that expresses what my work is about.  I forgot what we were talking about too.

[MMX]

I still say Hyperboy.

Or just Hyper.  Whatever you worry too much you'll lose your hair if you continue.

[Hyperguy]

That's cool I have enough tokens.

If I were Hyperboy I could hook up with Hypergirl and we could have Hyperbabies.

Wouldn't the progeny of two Hyper people end up being someone like the Flash?

I have concern over the same issues, hence why I've segregated my hobby site from my professional site.
I recommend you find a way to do it, too.

Absolutely not!  The progeny of two Hyper people would end up like something better than the Flash.

Didn't you also make one of j*******g******.com?  To solve my dilema I'm going to register josesantiago.pro as soon as I'm able(Friday is pay day! Hip, hip, hooray!).  I'm going to have to make an entirely separate site as a portfolio.

Hyper your name is Jose Santiago?

[Ellendesu]

Hyper your name is Jose Santiago?

Epitome of manliness, non?

[Hyperguy]

Hyper your name is Jose Santiago?

Why yes.  I used to be sketchy about sharing my real name online until I challenged myself to steal my own identity and found out that Jose Santiago is the John Smith of Spanish names.  A while back I had a "Copyright Jose Santiago" byline on the footer of HG.net, but took it down since I'd rather people on the net call me Hyperguy.

[bfg00]

Ah, hidding behind all the other Jose Santiagos in the world eh?  Sounds like a good plan.

[Gensoku]

My username is what it is because I wanted to sound cool and japanese so I just randomly typed in a word that I heard in an anime. To this day I still don't know what my username means, but I don't really mind haha

[JG]

My database has three definitions matching the pronunciation gensoku. I hope you know that the G is pronounced like the G in again or together, not like the G in gin or German (which is a J sound)

1. 原則, principle, general rule
2. 減速, the act of deceleration (gensoku suru would be "to decelerate")
3. 舷側, the side of a ship's hull, broadside

Take your pick.

[bfg00]

I like the third one.  It's pretty funny.

[MMX]

It's the only side that really counts, afterall.
