BIOSHOCK was my email account name 20 years ago!

[frostquake]

Its funny that a name I created as an email account 20 years ago is now the name of a video game. Whats even more funny after showing 2K Games the proof that I created the name on numerous emails and getting referred to their legal departments, that everything went quite. I did not Trade Mark the name, but I did just want to show them and Ken Levine that I did indeed have the name bioshock as an email account, I guess they were afraid I was going to ask for millions of dollars.

They had e-mail 20 years ago? lol. You had proof of an old email account after 20 years? Damn man, I have trouble finding bank records from 2 years ago. ;)

What's that old saying? Give an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters and an infinite amount of time, and they'll eventually type the collected works of Shakespeare word-for-word. ;)

Your joking! DUDE!
SAME i had one Mircosoft@Bulldroppings.co.uk

MOD EDIT: Please watch the language. Yes, it was funny. But circumventing the language filter using random characters is not acceptable.

I am a horrible collector of everything all my life. I go to WallyWorld and buy Grey tubs and just clean out my file cabinets and drawers, throw it all in a tub and put it in storage. Its crazy I know. Then after years and year I will every once in a while grab a tub and go through it throwing out junk. I've found some great toys, games, and collectibles that way. Old Johhny Lightning Cars, Hot Wheels, Star Wars from the 1970's, its crazy. I even have a Grey Tub of Fireworks from like the early 1990's...its crazy. Its funny back in the Packard Bell Days when I had my bioshock email account, when I gave it to people they always looked at me weird or asked if that was really my email...they thought I was some kind of eco whack job...Nope I would say, just like the name.

Added Comment: Does anyone remember CompuServe and Prodigy??

[BlacquePhalcon]

I used to have compuserve

[RyanAndrews]

Lol. That is an oddly cool coincidence. :D

I helped run the Disney Fans Bulletin Board on Prodigy. We were the first big internet resource for people planning their vacations. I loved it. This was before the web or before people thought to go online for that kind of stuff. We were pioneers.

I even got a little famous for it and was recognized by the Disney Company for my efforts. I received VIP treatment at the parks (backstage tours, where no tourists go at all, reserved seating at shows, free tickets, the works). Very, very cool.

The ease of the web is soooo taken for granted today. ;)

No kidding ppl really do take the web for granted these days. You mentioned Disney. The first Stalker I met online was on Prodigy, and he worked for Disney, I forgot where in Disney. Let's just say it was my first experience with someone, uh, well wanting to get to know you better. Well I was SUPER STUPID, and this guy almost got his freak on. Back in those golden old days ppl trusted everything online...we've come along way baby.

Edited: I hope your not that guy! XO

God, don't even joke about that.

I was happily dating a wonderful woman at the time. And I never worked for Disney (even though they offered!). ;)
