Nope.
Actually, I'm fairly sure it's Verilon's fault (when in doubt, blame Verilon) because I was in his sig recently.

I'm guessing there'd be a lot of sites dedicated to the comic that i'm not named after.

Most definitely. It's our little exchange that provokes the unwelcomed appearance :P

It's boring Googling for your username when the only pictures you find are ones you uploaded yourself.

EDIT:

By the way...

Only turns up 3 pages. No pictures to speak of.

Searchng "DarkPrimus" brings up mostly posts I have made at message boards, and only two pictures, both of which I made.

So that's where your name comes from...i always thought it was some sort of in-joke misspelling of matthew or something.

One, and only one, site with my name.

Glitchbot. Damn you, koji!

Wait, that would be a good thing...

I wonder why I didn't make it on SDNet... :(

That's without a space, by the way. Just the way my username is here, not Rogue Ice (which brings up 120,000 hits).

Using quotations so that it treats it as one entry, my UN gets only 54 hits.

Ego-surfing on Google can be very rewarding.

A search for my name usually brings up my website as well as a bunch of pages about knives.

Well hey at least your user name didn't get adopted as a nickname for the Star Wars Kid.

If you google my name, you'll get a hundred or so Jewish or some other Judaism-related sites, along with the name "Shinova" or "Shinnova" here and there, one of them being some lady who runs some Judaism religious camp or something.

2,380 hits, and not a single one to do with me, unsurprisingly. :)
