My screen name you all see here is my brothers. Deacon has always been his, since his friends decided to pick names of ranks in the church (etc, whoever has played with my friend "bishop"). When I first got Steam, I bought the orange box w/gmod combo. He loved tf2, so he would always play more than I would. I started to dabble in gmod, found RND ZS. Kept changing my name to TakeBackTheRain
Several years ago, after watching this demetri martin comedy special where he talked about how much he liked rainbows, but wasn't gay. At the end of that segment he says "Pretty greedy, gays." So we go to get an Xbox adapter to get Live, and start talking about bullshit. Like the thing we just watched. I don't remember which one of us said "we should take back the rainbow", but you imagine what happened from there.
TakeBackTheRain was all that fit for a gamertag, so thats what it became.
which is my SN, but the people I had played with the first few times called me Deacon anyway because its much shorter. In the interests of not confusing the shit out of people, I adopted that name. He hates me for it. He'll get over it.
