Yeah I know. This name-thingy is quite tiresome. My nick is say a cute form of a typical German name "Horst". I somehow used it during a lan-party and it got stuck ever since. Then years later someone came up with the great idea to take Horst as an insult, as a synonm for a stupid/dull/dumb person...guess how funny that was. :|
So guess in your case your nick was there first, too, then the game and then the suppossedly funny people, right? :D
Oh, and when I grow my hair longer, people start calling me Harry Potter. Live is sometimes very mystical.
Well yes, the nickname thing is annoying. Once, in a videogame blog, one of the writers posted a Diner Dash review, and then made a reference about me (because I posted regularly with my opinions) and made fun of that, and the following comments of users did continue to mock me, to the extent to inspire the writer to rename the article into "Dyna Dash". Normally I don't get angry, but when I see that much bullying I feel overwhelmed.
Lately I've been trying not to get mad at anything, hard work, lol
Warning, semi-long post about stuff nobody cares about xD
o,o Well, when I was like four, I played with those cubes that had letters in every side, in one of those moments, in a convenient way, "DYNA" appeared. At that moment, it wasn't so important, but was one of those things one remembers for no particular reason o,o "DASH" was for other reasons, I think everything came to be when I was 10, when I started to draw and to "create original characters", I used to watch the TV show "Clueless", and there was an actress called "Stacy Dash", and sounded neat to me, also, I was kind of obsessed with the badassery of Dash Rendar (from StarWars), and a couple years later I started to like K Dash from The King of Fighters. It was just a matter of time when I started to implement it to myself and thus "DynaDASH" became my nickname.
I've only read Ender's Game. My dad read some other books in that series and said they were complete borefests, so I've stayed away from them ever since.
ender's game is great but i like speaker for the dead and xenocide a lot more. i highly recommend of all them actually and also the bean quartet. after ender's game the ender quartet moves a little into the realm of philosophy but is still very much hard sci-fi. yet there's tons of biology and large-scale culture clashing mixed in too. xenocide especially is absolutely terrific in that respect.
then the bean quartet moves away from sci-fi and more into politics after the first book but it's all great stuff. i actually like ender's shadow the least of those four.
I didn't really like Ender's Game to be honest with you. The whole concept of these uber-intelligent children talking about politics and philosophy was just so corny to me. But I'm not much of a book guy anyway, so what do I know what makes a good book?
yeah i agree with you there which is why i like speaker for the dead, etc. more. in case you didn't know, andrew (ender) is an adult in the rest of the series which takes place 3000 years after ender's game.
I did it a couple times when I was a teen. Really stupid thing to do. If I had gotten caught it would have been SOOOO lame. Besides, I now know that some restaurants have a policy where the server actually has to pay for the food if this happens. That is completely unfair but the restaurants get away with it anyways.
