all this used to be in the "About Me" section of this page... but it seems to be better placed right here... so here's the back story of my Gamespot user name: GCN49, my XBox Live GamerTag: Super Dave 49, and my Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection name: J-Man... first my Gamespot user name: as you may or may not know, the abbreviation for the Nintendo GameCube is "GCN"... there are two reasons why i chose this... first, when i first made an account with Gamespot, which was my first year in college, the only game console i owned that was with me at college was my Indigo GameCube... which i bought literally the week before i went off to live in a dorm on campus... the second reason is because that GameCube got me mad crazy into gaming... and it was responsible for many late nights and missed classes... as for the "49", that is taken from my college's mascot... give it up for school pride... whoop whoop... now as far as my XBox Live GamerTag is concerned, let me first dispel an assumption many have made in error... my name is not Dave... sorry to burst your bubble, but it simply isn't true... after trying various nicknames i've garnered over the years, all of which were taken, including the name i use for all my Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection enabled games: J-Man... i happened upon the name of a semi-obscure character on one of my favorite television shows... Super Dave is the nickname of the assistant coroner on CSI:... the 49, as you can probably guess, is from my college's mascot: again, trying to show off a little school pride... the name i use on Nintendo's Wi-Fi Connection when playing Tetris DS or Mario Kart DS online is J-Man... the story behind this one is fairly simple... this is the nickname given to me by a suitemate of mine my freshman year in college... so there you have it...
