Explain The Story Behind Your Stupid Gamertag

If you're lucky, or brave, your gamertag (or other similar account name) might be, well, your name. A few of my friends are like that. Chances are, though, you picked a fake handle and went with that instead.

lol, mine was after my license plate, Neonridr. Can anyone guess what kind of car I drove? XD

I use this name pretty much everywhere, even registered it on the Nintendo Network for my Wii U.

Neonridr4159d ago

lol, since text has no emotion behind it, I will just assume that you are joking and we will both laugh about that.. :P

Mine comes from when I used to work at Whole Foods Market. I was a frozen food buyer. So being that I'm 6'4 and a pretty big guy... my WFM friends dubbed me Big Freezy.. it stuck with me ever since.

My older brother, Smitty is a pretty tall guy as well and he was a basketball player at the time.. all of his friends dubbed him "Smizzola" and being that I look up to him, I later dubbed over Big Freezy as "Freezola" and there ya go. Although I wish I would've held back my '75 smh LOL. Peace

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil2d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai2d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle1d 19h ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa1d 17h ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal1d 14h ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.

Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II - PC Wore it Better

Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II was an intriguing and unique RTS title, that sadly suffered in its console port.

dadavis19922d ago

Was just thinking about this game and wishing I had a way to revisit it. The way EA scrubs these titles from existence once their licensing runs out is horrid.

Michiel19891d 19h ago

there is a client made by modders and it also works online.

kevco331d 19h ago

Indeed. The game can still be played online on PC.

Xbox 360 players, though? Bang outta luck.
