In Local News: Sometimes Being A Gamer Isn’t So Great

Wow.

I mean… wow.

Imagine, if you can, Sephiroth Andrew Martin in third grade, at which point it is highly unlikely that he will be a badass anywhere near worthy of his name. Imagine other kids asking “what’s your name?” And then, imagine a skinny, freckly, awkward seven year old kid replying “Sephiroth…”

I’m all about naming your pets with video game references (it’s funny to name your fish Sephiroth, for example), but naming your kid after one of the most memorable game villains of all time is just downright wrong. That kid is going to suffer so muh by the time he is finishe high school that he is going to have dreams of killing his parents, or worse. He may even hate the source where his name came from, which would completely ruin the whole point of the game reference in his name in the first place.

Don’t do that to your kid. Ever.
