I now have Steam on my computer and a new nickname is confirmed

LAST UPDATE: 12 July 2012

...Not literally steam, if that's what you're thinking.

Anyway, Steam a free program that allows access to hundreds of available games online (and of course some games themselves aren't free). The reason I didn't sign up for it until now is because I wanted to think about which online name I would use for it.

The name "PROGUY" was used by me since 2001, the time I started playing O2Jam when it came out. At that time, it was the only name that came out of my head to simply put, "I'm pro, nothing else". I figured it's time to give a change in this by switching to an alternate name that makes more sense than the last.

After sometime, it would come to this final name I've put up: ScorpiusG. Unlike the previous name, it represents me with a better meaning. The nickname is a joint of several things. I was born in the middle of November, which means Scorpio would be my Zodiac sign. The "G" came from the Japanese Monster Hunter series which meant "Generation". Put 'em together along with a few letter additions and changes and my new nickname appears.

However, to avoid duplicates, I may change my nickname to ScorpiusG59 instead. This secondary nickname's last part is based on the first fully keysounded chart I've ever made, G59. Remember this in case to prevent miscommunications with random strangers. Or better, just leave me a message here or in YouTube (private message would be nice :) ) to confirm my presence in a particular site.

Finally, I will keep my previous name PROGUY (or alternatively PROGUY101) to prevent nickname confusions to those who know me for a long time, especially in rhythm game communities such as FFR, osu!, and of course in the O2Jam community. That's all to say about it I guess.

Feel free to add me on Steam and guide me on how to use it properly lol (Either ScorpiusG or ScorpiusG59, as long as the description of the user account has PROGUY in it.)

Edit: Okay, I got the browsing games, buying 'em and downloading part (now downloading Team Fortress 2). But there's more than just that, right?

Edit sequel: Alright, I just found out that my display name in Steam is different from the username I used to login. I removed the now unnecessary sentence in italics.

  1. Hint: If you want to buy games for a really low price, wait for Steam's Holiday sales (one is coming up soon). Games are ridiculously cheap there (for instance, I got Mass Effect for 2,50€, that's ~4$ when it was around 20€ at normal price).
    And there are tons of Demos for games, check them out too.

    Final note: Try VVVVVV (seriously, this game is good if you like 8bit style games and great chiptunes)
