Back in the C64 days of dialup BBS action I had the handle SpaceAce as I really loved the arcade game back in the day. Eventually I got tired of people asking me if I was a fan of Kiss (I did not even know that was one of the band members names) so I changed it to TheHammerGod since I was a fan of Thor. When online services like Xbox Live started TheHammerGod was taken quickly by other people so I wanted something unique so I used a nickname my friend called me. He would add 'esamo" to the end of friends first names so he would say Jim-esamo, Tom-esamo and Matt-esamo. I dropped the second T so make it look better and have used it ever since.
