Coffee Talk #354: Multiple Gamer Personality Disorder

Welcome to Coffee Talk! Let’s start off the day by discussing whatever is on your (nerd chic) mind. Every morning I’ll kick off a discussion and I’m counting on you to participate in it. If you’re not feelin’ my topic, feel free to start a chat with your fellow readers and see where it takes you. Whether you’re talking about videogames, David Beckham’s underwear line, the awesome NBA conference finals, or the diving prices of 3D HDTVs, Coffee Talk is the place to do it.

Do you guys have multiple PlayStation Network and/or Xbox Live accounts? A lot of videogame journalists have two or more — one personal account, one work account for playing with readers, and one work account that’s private. This explains why several videogame journalists are a step away from insanity. It’s not easy juggling three personalities.

I’m pretty sure that most “normal” people stick to one account, but I wanted to check with you guys and girls. So how about it? Do you have multiple online gaming accounts? Or are you one and done?

  1. Single account. I actually hate having multiple accounts, but such is the case with different platforms.

  2. I only have one account on each console.

    @3Dtvs

    I still wont get one until glasses-less 3Dtvs are sold and reasonably priced. Soooo 5 years from now lol.

  3. I bought a 3Dtv recently. I had to. It is the only way to get the high quality panels. The 2D only TVs don't have the great display.

    My TV did not come with glasses and I have no intention of buying any either.

    1. I blame the Rapture.

      I will buy a slim jim today though. I will also fire up the 64 and Macho Elbow a few times.

      3. In that case, could we have a Coffee Talk where we talk about nothing but winning powerball numbers?

        -M

      6. Well that sucks. I was a huge Macho Man fan as a kid, mostly because I hated Hogan and Savage was the perfect foil for him.

      7. The first time I ever saw Macho, he was cutting a promo wearing a blue sequence shirt that said "Hulk Who?"

        I have one of the old school pink Macho Man shirts. I will don it for the rest of the day.

      8. YES! I'd love a day to talk about winning lottery ticket numbers.

        But I thought the same thing when I heard the news this morning, that it was crazy we just had a page with stuff about him.

  7. Single account holder here as well. Does anybody pay for multiple XBL accounts?

    1. No… quite the opposite of paying for the accounts if you have multiple accounts.

      You get a free month of Gold with every new account. Millions of people have started a second account when their main Gold account expires and they can't yet afford to renew just yet. This way, they can still use Netflix and other services and get in touch with their clans and stuff.

      I know one girl who ended up getting things on her temporary alt for COD that she hasn't been able to get on her main. She's mad about it too.

  8. I've known of people who have multiple accounts, but they never paid for them. They got free 12 month subscriptions from people and created different accounts with those. I never understood why though. For some people using multiple accounts makes sense, for others it seems like a waste.

  10. i have many psn accounts

    lets see, my main one…scary_german_guy

    but i also have hunk_golden, liutenant_dan (i unknowingly misspelled that one lol)

    i also have appropriated the name raymond_padilla….let me know if you ever want that one ray, lol
