Wait a sec... I recognise that name!

[TheRightToArmBears]

Well, I was listening to a song by Bandits Of The Acoustic Revolution on Last.fm, and I saw in one of the comments a name; 'Megapenguinx'. This struck a familiar chord in my memory, so I spent a minute searching the forums I visit and lo and behold, Megapenguinx on the Escapist turned up. I'm fairly certain they're both the same person (both called Armando and are 19 years old).

Now, I know that having a Last.fm account isn't strange at all, but seeing members completely accidentally elsewhere was a bit weird. So, has anything like this happened to you?

PS: Apologies to Megapenguinx, this probably seems weird and stalkerish. Don't worry, I don't know where you live... Yet.

 

[Jedamethis]

Nope. Not at all

 

[Turtleboy1017]

Well all of my accounts and stuff are generally Turtleboy1017 soooo.

Got a Newgrounds, Steam, Diablo.net, and many more accounts with the same name as I have in the Escapist currently.

 

[rokkolpo]

yes..... i keep seeing my account wherever i log in!?

 

[ae86gamer]

You're stalking Mega!

OT: No. Thats never happened to me.

 

[Lord Mountbatten Reborn]

I have every so often found people somewhere that I've met before, such as someone from some MMO on Xbox Live, and even someone with the same name here (though they didn't seem to know me).

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

You're stalking Mega!

Not since the court order I'm not.

 

[Contun]

Not too sure. I may have bumped into an Escapist member unknowingly in a game. Kinda zone out when playing... Though I think it'd be cool to run into a fellow Escapist, you'd have something in common and may even become friends...

 

[Kuchinawa212]

I saw someone on Thebolterandchainsword.com that had the same Avatar as Ultrajoe. and I ran into Suiseiseki_IRL on another site. The name escapes me now...

 

[Insanum]

Just Tweeted him. He should be here shortly.

I tend to find out people i know are on here. But its only happened twice.

 

[A Weary Exile]

Yep, I saw a fellow Escapist's Bioshock walkthrough on Youtube. I forget his name.

 

[SharPhoe]

I was kinda surprised to find that HardRockSamurai had an account on Cracked.com, but other than obvious places where you would find Escapists (like Kongregate), that's about it.

 

[Liam1390]

About a year ago I watched the movie Shooter for the first time. A couple of days later my mother and I were in a library, and she picked out a book she read recently that she thought I would like titled the 47th Samurai. The name of the author seemed familiar, I looked at the top of the cover which said "A Bob Lee Swagger Novel", I mentioned it to her that it was the same character that was in the movie, and she didn't believe me. When we got home I looked the movie up and was able to prove that I was right.

 

[Sizzo]

One of my old friends once asked me if I played WoW. I said no, why? He said that he had seen a guy on WoW use the name Sizzo and wondered if it was me(I use the name Sizzo on every forum I sign up to). A bit freaky considering that I've never seen another guy use the name Sizzo in a forum/game-community before.

I also once passed a store that was called Sizzo, but that's another story(and you just heard it).

 

[Baby Eater]

i met someone on the saints row forums playing, what a surprise, saints row 2

 

[SomethingUnrelated]

Err... nope. I usually know who has what account where.

 

[Chicago Ted]

I have seen a few people from a place named Phoneburnia here. Haven't said anything though, and since I go under a different user name here I doubt they are the wiser.

 

[TheBarefootBandit]

Nope. But that's kinda random. In a good way.
