News   The Name Game
- Posted By Michael Loewer, 06.12.2002

Sometimes, news is news.

I know a few days ago I talked about some PS2 fanboys hooking up the PSOne screen to the Game Boy Advance, and I'm sorry to say I'm going to have to post some Playstation news again.

Again, I apologize.

However, this isn't something about a new game or release date or anything like that -- no, it's a story about obsession, about fanboyism run amok, and needs to be told. All gamers can related to this, whether their loyalties lie to Nintendo, Sony, or even the freaky fanboys that still pay homage to Atari.

As reported by this month's issue of FHM, in February 2002, 29-year-old Sony fan Dan Holmes of England legally changed his name to "Playstation 2."

What's worse than this?

The name change only came as a result of his failed attempt to legally marry the console -- the clergy wouldn't have it. The story never said what sect the clergy belonged to, but chances are they weren't Catholic, since just about anything goes over there these days, if you know what I mean.

Nintendo will never read this, but I for one would be willing to legally change my name to "GameCube," or maybe just "Nintendo," for a price. A tire company did this up in Canada, if I recall, and I'd certainly be willing to discuss it with the company. Come on, I'll be a living advertisement for LIFE, guys, you can afford to hook me up.

Seriously: anyone with a contact to Nintendo, let them know. I double dare you.
