I chuckle every time I see the Surrogate Sharers videos by Rhett and Link. This happens to me frequently because I’ve known so many gamers over the years. Most of them I have known by their online alias.
When I meet people at LAN parties or live events, it gets worse because not only do I forget their alias, I may end up not known their name. The good thing, I have a photogenic memory so there are many occasions I’ll recall meeting them at one time. That’s what I get for meeting so many people huh? I usually just wait for others to call out their name. I feel so bad when I have to ask for their name again or ask them when I met them previously.
