I first went by the name of Cobra X.
Then I played GTA Vice City around 2002/2003 that had a car named 'Virgo' and the Matrix was popular.
So it became Virgo The 1. (Dumb kid me didn't quite know what 'Virgo' meant other than the GTA car
)
Around the time I got an Xbox 360 with Forza 2 I changed to something that included both 'Nintendo' and 'Xbox' but would at the same time be a throwback to the old brand of Cobra X.
After an intensive creative session and brand exploration I came up with 'NinteX'.
Ninte(ndo)X(box)
When I joined NeoGAF I added ban shielding and a further reference to both the Nintendo logo and box from Xbox so it became [NinteX]
But then of course the minimalist trend started to take a hold so again a rebrand was in order.
So currently the official brand name is 'Nintex'.
Did you know that in 2006 an Australian technology company was formed and called itself 'Nintex'?
They contacted me because they wanted the Twitter handle and YouTube name as they later discovered I owned the brand. Originally I figured it was a scam so I ignored it.
But after some back and forth I sold them both and got my drivers license and first car with the money. Still, in 2019 I would've asked much more than I got because the brand is currently way more valuable.
The great thing about it though is that I can post whatever the hell I want on the internet and it is very hard to dig up something that will prevent from holding office on Google.
Simply because Nintex SEO game is very strong I am not only mostly anonymous on the internet but my handle is also protected by a corporate marketing strategy.
