See, that''s why I use a screen name that fits in the real world too. I''ve been known as slambie for the last 10 years and at two different companies. My boss actually calls me ''slambie''.

That''s cool!

I''ve gone by Farscry on the internet for practically forever. Well, ""forever"" being the approximately 6 years since I really started doing stuff online.

However, I''ve never gone by that in real life. It''d be kinda neat, like having a special ops codename or something.
