Gamertagged is a podcast about digital identity, gamertags, and the people behind them.
What happens when your name no longer fits the person you’ve become?
In this episode of Gamertagged, we meet Marthah Maple, a competitive shooter with a gentle spirit who once stormed lobbies under the name GangstaBoo3000. Her story is about evolving identity, letting go of personas that no longer serve us, and embracing a quieter confidence in our 30s era.
With Scarto46 and Portabella, she reflects on the early days of Call of Duty and Prop Hunt, what it’s like being a woman in online shooters, and how her new gamertag was born—accidentally, lovingly, through a misspelling in a Discord server. We talk pink hair, Valorant duelists, and why kindness isn’t just a mood—it's a message.
🃏 And in the ReRoll, we co-create Marthah Maple's official Gamertagged Trading Card: Star–Shot Silva, a glowing pink-haired elf drawing her bow in a cosmic forest.
🎙️ Guest: Marthah Maple
🎧 Hosted by: Scarto46, Portabella
🛠️ ReRolled by: The Crew at Gamertagged Studios
