Alter Egos

A topic I know much of, I shall hope to explore alter egos and alias', mainly through the use of the internet.

The need for privacy is acceptable, and encouraged. You wouldn't go onto a shady website and put all your personal details because you felt like it, would you? Filth hangs around those sites, and you would do well to avert them. Creating an alter ego, an avatar of yourself in cyberspace is an asset to some, but with negative downsides. A name is everything. Some people choose an alias name and stick by it throughout thier travels through the web. Some people change it, to cover thier tracks. It's all relative. To learn more about these kinds of internet identies, I would steer you to this website- CLICKY written by an old friend of mine.

This post didn't lead to where I hoped I was going to go, but i'll salvage what I can.

In real life, I am a 15-year-old boy, socially inept yet cheerful.
In games though, I become more then that. I become the hero, the leader. I have become Gordon Freeman, Anticitizen One, the One Free Man.

I become Geamo, the dwarven hunter, hero of Azeroth and slayer of many evils. Along with my pet Trex, Tycho, I have slain countless foes and saved numerous cities, aiding dragons, titans and murlocs.


I become Bane, Force Commander of the Blood Ravens chapter of the Adeptus Astartes. I serve the Emperor in slaying his foes such as the Tyranids, Eldar and Orks.


I become Geamo, the Vault Dweller of 101, making my way across the Capital Wasteland, slaying Super Mutants, Ghouls and Enclave forces to find my father; i'm assisted by the Brotherhood of Steel, Fawkes and my pet dog, Dogmeat.


These have been just a few of the avatars I have played in-game. I hope you enjoyed this blog.

Cryptex out.
