06/04: Future Generations
I had this strange thought a few seconds back.
The current generation of gamers and webpeople do, most likely, have an alias of somekind. I'm TheZin. Now obviously this isn't my real name and just putting FirstnameLastname together isn't always going to work and pass over as a really cool / hip / future-slang-term-here.
I'm worried about the coming generations. I know that such classics as n00b (and variations), pwnzer, rock, god, you, me, death, ET/CS/CS:S/DoD/MoHAA - lord are taken (20x over) so what is left for the next gen. of gamers and younglings. Something to do with the culture? Emin3m and all of the variations? They're pretty much screwed. All of the (now-)original names will be taken and we will have hundreds of thousands of noobs, (not that we aren't there already, just that it's going to get a whole lot worse.)
Any comments?

No, really, I see your point here. It has already begun - more and more poeple are trying to come up with dazzling nicknames and that's why colors and fonts have become relevent.
Then again, new games are being developed all the time and then the names will become available again. Well, no actual solution here.. it's just the future, we'll just have to wait and see or as the first sentence says, deal with it.
Note: This new update-thingy is rather annoying.
