Zero is defined in the dictionary as "naught; nothing" (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/zero) and that is exactly how the name originated for me. Playing video games is more than just passing time or escaping to a virtual realm. It is about finding a group of people who share the same interests, in this case video games, getting together, and enjoying each others company. However, video games allow people the rare opportunity to show off your abilities in multiplayer games, and see who emerges the best of your group.
I, at the beginning was that guy who didn't stand a chance when he picked up a controller. People actually said "Why bother playing? You know you are going to lose." , which eventually lead to "You have zero chance of winning." I am a very competitive person, so I took it as a challenge to get better, to show them that the guy who has "zero chance" can win. I got better, actually started giving them a run for their money, and was winning, but I always held the name "Zero" close, since that is how all this started. The rest, as they say, is history.
Until next time, play fair, and when all else fails...Kirbycide!!!
- Zero
