HighSimSim - Internet Alias

HighSimSim is a multi-purpoes alias used as my official pen name, user name on numerous websites, and my official name within the Gaming world (Most notably with my Xbox Live Gamertag).

Origin

Back in 2000, when The Sims game was released, I was a big fan of the game. I created multiple Sim families, each one with it's own back story. After going through a bunch of failed families, I decided to create a Sim family and stick with it. When creating the back story for this Sim family, I came across an idea about revolving the family's ancestry around Gods. Thus being, the Sims in my final Sim family would be the descendants of gods, divine beings of a higher existence.

Time went by, and I finally decided to register at Maxis.com. Having to come up with a user name, I used "HighSim" in regards to my Sim family. When Maxis.com deleted all their users due to mandatory maintenance, I still wanted to use my old account name, so I just added an extra "Sim" at the end. Thus, "HighSimSim" was born.

Meaning

"High", in my intended use, is meant to refer to a type of rank, such as a king or divine being. I obviously know what the first impression of the word "high" is, but I had not intended it in regards to drug use. "Sim" referred to the virtual people found within The Sims game, but since the time I used to play that game is long past, I now associated the word "Sim" in regards to "simulations", as in video games. So, a rough meaning of the word "HighSimSim" would mean "King Gamer of Games".
