    But what if you want to make sure people know which Gabe you're talking about

    You could say Gabe Newell.

    A) Is Steam/Valve being discussed?

    If yes, it's likely Gabe Newell
    If no, and no one follows Gabe with "Newell," it is extremely likely they are talking about Gabe of Penny Arcade

    Or maybe they're real friendly with the archangel or something

    Ain't that many Gabes

    Aagabe

    as I like to call him

    How will people know I'm talking about the PA guy and not the astronomer?!

    I could say "Tychob"

    But then people would think I was talking about Ty Cobb!

    UV you are being an incredibly silly goose about an incredibly trivial thing

    I don't even call him Gaben, but I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone would care as much as it seems you do that other people do call him that.

    Nah, I don't really care that much

    It's dumb but whatever

    Just a silly thing to make fun of

    Over the years I've grown to really hate screennames

    If I could change my gamertag to just be my name, I would

    Fuck Gabe and Tycho, their names are Mike and Jerry

    All this means is that you haven't chosen a Gamertag that's nearly cool enough

    Or your real name sounds pretty awesome

    Although yeah, I've never really referred to Mike and Jerry as Gabe and Tycho

    They are the dudes that make those characters, they aren't those characters. Though I did used to wonder how much about those characters is autobiographical.

    mario being their last name makes sense

    they are after all called the super mario brothers

    luigi can't be a mario brother if he's not a mario

    I see what you are saying, but Gabe and Tycho are actually pretty different from who Mike and Jerry really are. I could see why they would want to dissociate themselves from their characters in that respect. So that If nothing else, in a new comic thread or discussion on the comic its not being said that Mike is probably gay for more than just Spider-Man and that Jerry would fuck a giraffe or dog.

    Screen names can be pretty stupid and I think a lot of people come to regret their own "handles" over time (hence the name changing thread being so popular, aside from the spectacle), but plenty of people just use nicknames or names they are comfortable using elsewhere. And at least most of the ones here aren't as obnoxious as say . . . most XBox Gametag names.

    The biggest one for me are the guys that do Retsupurae, who are referred to as 'Slowbeef' and 'Diabeetus' and I feel like a goddamn moron explaining that to people or ever referring to them as that

    Their names are Michael and Ben, can I not just call them that

    Yeah, I'm fine with people typing whatever the hell they want but if you're talking to me about Gabe Newell of Valve and you say "gaben" you're mentally added to the dustbin of people who say "lol" or "yolo" or "i can haz" or whatnot out loud. Do not be surprised if my eyes narrow for a microsecond as that mental filing is completed.

    Gaben is a funny way to refer to the guy. It really is as simple as that.

    By the way guys

    Don't know how many of you visit G&T, but mcc does her yearly GOTY poll and it's coming to a close tonight

    So might wanna go vote on that if you haven't

    It's always interesting to look at, statistically

    The worst thing about that image is that the same sentiment has been expressed much better before:

    What I'm saying here is that Sony needs to fire their current marketing firm and re-hire these people. Seriously, has anybody even seen an ad for the Vita?
