HighSimSim - Internet Alias

[edit]

HighSimSim is a multi-purpoes alias used as my official pen name, user name on numerous websites, and my official name within the Gaming world (Most notably with my Xbox Live Gamertag).

Origin

[edit]

Back in 2000, when The Sims game was released, I was a big fan of the game. I created multiple Sim families, each one with it's own back story. After going through a bunch of failed families, I decided to create a Sim family and stick with it. When creating the back story for this Sim family, I came across an idea about revolving the family's ancestry around Gods. Thus being, the Sims in my final Sim family would be the descendants of gods, divine beings of a higher existence.

Time went by, and I finally decided to register at Maxis.com. Having to come up with a user name, I used "HighSim" in regards to my Sim family. When Maxis.com deleted all their users due to mandatory maintenance, I still wanted to use my old account name, so I just added an extra "Sim" at the end. Thus, "HighSimSim" was born.

Meaning

[edit]

"High", in my intended use, is meant to refer to a type of rank, such as a king or divine being. I obviously know what the first impression of the word "high" is, but I had not intended it in regards to drug use. "Sim" referred to the virtual people found within The Sims game, but since the time I used to play that game is long past, I now associated the word "Sim" in regards to "simulations", as in video games. So, a rough meaning of the word "HighSimSim" would mean "King Gamer of Games".
