About this listen

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.

  • Averynicegal: From Shy Art Kid to Streamer-DJ Icon | The Power of Digital Identity
    Nov 13 2025

    She started as a quiet kid with a paintbrush—and became a variety streamer with a bald cap, a mixing deck, and a mustache.

    Averynicegal didn’t plan to become a Twitch variety streamer, character comedian, and DJ. But through meme rabbit holes, pixelated horror games, and a community that dared her to try, she discovered a digital identity big enough to hold all her selves. In this candid, funny, and deeply reflective episode, she opens up about streaming as self-discovery, the art of improv behind every beat drop, and the character who started as a joke and changed how she sees herself.

    We Talk:

    • Streaming with ADHD and the joy of genre chaos
    • Building a Twitch identity from punny usernames to powerhouse branding
    • DJing with doll hands (yes, really)
    • Creating characters that feel more honest than real life
    • Growing confidence through digital personas

    🃏 And in the ReRoll…
    We craft a trading card for Averynicegal: pink-washed, prop-stacked, chaos-infused. She’s got charm stats maxed out, a facial hair made of mascara, and a special move called “Get Therapy'ed.”

    Guest: Averynicegal
    Hosts: Martha Maple, Scarto46

  • L21saac: From RuneScape Troll to Valorant Sage | Building the L2 Crew From Scratch
    Oct 9 2025

    What happens when your lowest low becomes the reason you never give up?
    In this episode, we meet L21saac—a creator whose online identity was forged in the fires of a comedy club bomb, honed through late-night Warzone sessions, and refined by an unrelenting pursuit of excellence. From his RuneScape origins to the L2 Crew community he now leads, L21saac’s story is a rare blend of honesty, hustle, and high-stakes content creation. Whether he’s talking about the psychology of bombing on stage, the pressure of virality, or the meaning behind his gamertag, L21saac shows us how vulnerability, resilience, and integrity shape a streamer’s digital identity.

    We Talk:
    – Bombing a stand-up show and surviving the fallout
    – The unexpected power of RuneScape and “L2” culture
    – Why he deletes videos that don’t hit 20K views
    – Building a late-night Twitch community for “background noise and real talk”
    – What makes a creator name unforgettable (or unsearchable)
    – Life, burnout, and being honest about not wanting a relationship

    🃏 ReRoll:
    And in the ReRoll… we reveal L21saac’s digital avatar: The Gentle Flame
    A quiet presence with a sharp mind, The Gentle Flame holds steady in chaos—radiating warmth, wielding clarity, and choosing peace over spectacle. It’s L21saac at his most distilled: intentional, observant, and never louder than necessary.

    Guest: L21saac
    Hosts: Marthah Maple and Scarto46
    Produced by: Gamertagged Studios

  • Side Quest: Wheel of Questions (Part 3 of 3) | Apocalypse Teams, Podcast Red Flags & Cult Leaders
    Sep 30 2025

    The wheel spins one last time. In the final chapter of our Side Quest Wheel of Questions mini-series, the Gamertagged crew closes out this trilogy with wild hypotheticals, ruthless cast rankings, and the great debate of Team Runner vs. Team Twinkie. Perfect for fans of gaming podcasts, funny crew banter, and unpredictable community challenges.

    In this finale of Side Quest: Wheel of Questions, the full cast — Sue-She, Portabella, Ryanocerus, Marthah Maple, and host Scarto46 — dives into unpredictable prompts pulled straight from the Wheel of Questions. From choosing apocalypse survival squads and debating podcast red flags, to deciding who’d betray the crew in Among Us, rank each other’s gaming party roles like it’s an RPG, or start a cult “accidentally,” nothing is safe and no one escapes the chaos. It’s all laughter, mock betrayals, and a few moments of suspiciously heartfelt honesty as we close out this Side Quest trilogy with the Gamertagged community.

    Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or your favorite podcast app and join the Gamertagged community in Discord to share your own answers to the Wheel of Questions.

    We talk:
    – The biggest red flags in podcasts (and how we avoid them)
    – Who betrays the group first in Among Us
    – Building the ultimate apocalypse survival team
    – Which cast member would be voted off the reality show first
    – The most unhinged things we’ve posted online
    – Gaming party roles: Tanks, DPS, Healers… and Twinkie hoarders
    – Who’s most likely to start a cult (accidentally)
