Gamertagged: Digital Identities. Real Stories.

Gamertagged: Digital Identities. Real Stories.

Gamertagged is a gaming podcast about digital identity, gamertag origins, storytelling, and how the names we choose define who we become online. We tell the real stories behind gamer tags and online personas — one identity at a time. Hosted by the team of artists, editors, and gamers at Gamertagged Studios, each episode features a creator, streamer, or deeply online human unpacking how their name came to be, what it represents, and how identity evolves through games, platforms, and community. From cozy lore-masters to digital wanderers, Gamertagged captures the emotional truth of life online — in a podcast that values transformation over trend, and story over spectacle. The Format: Story, Persona, Re-Roll Every episode follows a 3-part journey into identity, creativity, and community: The Origin – Where the tag came from The Evolution – How the persona grew through games and community The ReRoll – A co-created trading card capturing the guest’s digital self The ReRoll Segment We close each episode by collaboratively crafting a visual representation of the guest’s digital persona — an official Gamertagged Trading Card. It’s part character design, part self-reflection, and always true to the guest’s vibe. Each card becomes a living artifact of who they are in digital space, featured in an evolving gallery at gamertaggedpodcast.com that celebrates identity in all its forms. 🎧 New episodes drop every other Thursday. 🎮 Explore episodes, trading cards, and community links: linktr.ee/gamertagged You selected your character. You defined your gamertag. You built your persona. Now tell us your story.

What if your truest self only shows up when you hit “Go Live”?

For MalBread, the stream isn’t a performance—it’s a break from one. In a world that demanded discipline, structure, and silence, she found joy in chaos, warmth in gaming, and freedom in her digital persona. Born from a blend of languages and layered meanings, her gamertag became more than a name—it became a safehouse of softness, community, and garlic bread.

MooonMooo didn’t stumble into this persona — she built it.
Twitch streamer MooonMooo shares how her name came to life — one cow emoji, moon phase, and chaotic Twitch moment at a time. Rooted in a family nickname and fueled by sparkles, comfort, and a little bit of gremlin energy, her persona wasn’t random. It was a vibe, and she ran with it.

We talk:

  • Shoeys, emotes, and Twitch chaos
  • Cow love, moon phases, and milk-truck brandi...

What happens when the gamertag you built your identity around doesn’t fit anymore?
This episode dives into gamertag rebrands, gamer identity shifts, and the quiet power of letting go.

Meet Marthah Maple, a Valorant duelist and competitive FPS player once known as GangstaBoo3000 — a name she used to hide behind. When it stopped reflecting who she really was, she embraced a new era: quieter, softer, kinder, but no less powerful.

Before the ReRolls and guest stories, there was just a name.
This is how Gamertagged began — a pandemic spark, a naming debate, and a question we couldn’t let go: What does your gamertag say about you?

Some tags are built. Ryanocerus' was *given*.  

What started as a childhood nickname from his aunt followed him across lo-fi music, online dating profiles, chaotic Xbox nights, and into a decade-long digital identity. A name that began as a joke slowly became something deeper — a shield, a symbol, and a digital persona all his own.

We talk:

  • Destiny 2, Discord drama, and Xbox-era memories
  • Match.com usernames and the tension bet...
