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.

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.

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.

I still say Hyperboy.

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

That's cool I have enough tokens.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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