How many of you have 2 lives?

[Dutchoper72]

How many of you keep your video game life and your real life different?

Here let me explain in detail.

In real life i do not talk much (Surprising isn't it) and I'm also known as the kid who sits in the back and is too quiet for his own good. I always keep my nose clean and never start anything via conversation's among people I don't know and also causing any trouble.

In my video game life(eGO life) that is a complete different story. Sure i don't talk as much now when i first joined up. I talk to people who i do not know and it's easier to make friends then real life. Sure i cause some trouble once in a great while, but who doesn't?

My thoughts that lead me to why I'm different is because I'm shy in real life.(Big surprise) Here is the thing though, 2 factors that are taken out from real life to video game life is...

1) I'm not face to face to anyone, as in i don't see them

2) I have more relevance

What relevance is, is people can connect with conversations. Most of the time people talk about sports and what kind of drugs or party's they do.(Public schools :/ ) Which I never really cared for. I was always the kid that talks about video games and other nerdy stuff.

So their is my examples, how many other people are like this or have different factors of this?

 

[Sumac]

I am just as outspoken in person. I tend to talk about things other than video games and robbing banks or killing Nazis, but yes, unfortunately I talk a lot both on and off the computer.

 

[chili dude96]

I'm with Sumac. I talk a lot in game and in real life. But the only difference is in real life I'm more calm and more serious. When I'm playing I let my more fun and immature side out.

 

[ST0RMY]

Damn, I'm just as much of a jerkface in real life as I am in game or Vent.

 

[ChocolateVillain]

I don't talk much ever. Even in game I don't talk much.

Always been a quite person but have no problems talking to anyone if they talk first.

Also I always have a snappy comeback to about everything. My dads nickname for me was Smartass.

 

[Silent Ghost]

im about the same just i dont talk as much English as when im on the pc

 

[prime ZERO]

I'm just like you dutch. (in this thing so called "living two lives")
IRL I am quiet. (yes that's right) and in-game (as many of you know) I am talking all the time.

 

[Ravage]

Just like you Dutch, and yes I realize that is REALLY hard to believe coming from me.

 

[tomi87]

hmm im allmoust same as im on vent or game. Only i dont speak english IRL

 

[Neck Beard]

I actually go by Neck Beard in real life.
I own a Karr 98 and I yell things in German every morning.

 

[Jinn]

I'm really quiet in either environment. But as people get to know me I may start to open up more to them. =P

[CragnockTheUncrunkable]

Opposite way around from dutch prime and ravage. I'm calmer and less random online than I am in real life. The only time you guys tend to see my other side is when I'm getting dominate by you and then I'll probably say something fairly random.

I think nemesis is probably the one who has a best idea of my real life personality.

[anomaly]

Personally I like to think the internet is a place where I can relax and just splurt out random phrases. Cooling off simply because real life can be tough. I'm pretty much equal on both sides of my 'lives' only a bit calmer IRL

 

[Megs A Tagger]

I think I'm the same in real life and in game. I've always been really quiet and shy, until I get to know someone. I tend to be a little bit more of a smartass in real life then in game, especially at work.

 

[Rorschach]

I'm more in way like Meg but I'm more of a smart ass in game and kind and a gentle sort in real life.

 

[Blixx]

I'm just about the most outgoing person you'll ever meet. In RL I am in front of people all day and manage a whole team of folks at work. I also teach part time at a university. In addition, everyone knows how much of a nerd I am and I talk about gaming non-stop!

You guys think he's kidding. Poor guy.

 

[Dr.Compton]

Im like Meg too, shy at first until I get to know a group or the people then you cant get me to shut up.

 

[Silent Ghost]

Just like you Dutch, and yes I realize that is REALLY hard to believe coming from me.

I guess you save all your talking for when youre on the pc

 

[jumpingisuseless]

I don't have the energy to act differently for all you guys :]
So I am the same all the time.
