Phalcon

Hello again, as you may be unaware, I am a gamer and my online self is often portrayed by who I am in the gaming universe as well.  As such my online self, whether it be in a game or not is almost always known as Phalcon, my Gaming Handle

Phalcon from: Guild Wars, Aion, and HALO: Reach

It's a name I have gone by for many years and is common and well known among a bunch of people as someone who's full of himself and basically a tough so-and-so....I suppose I just let my shyness get kicked out of the window when I'm on the internet behind the guise of Phalcon.  I would say anytime I write on the web as Phalcon I am respectful, but not without a cocky attitude, but over time the ego has sort of devolved and I have almost allowed myself in the real world and the virtual world to meld, making me a less shy person in reality, and a much less egotistical gamer online.  Despite this meld, I think I will always look at Phalcon as something very different from who I really am, but still very similar (if that makes any sense to you at all). 


I've always believed that the creation of this second persona is my reaction to the internet equation (average Joe + anonymity + audience = asshole)  Though I'm proud to say I don't think I turned out that way at any point while gaming or talking online.  Really I just play and talk online as myself...just a portion I don;t often show when I'm face to face with people in the real world.
