In almost all situations, you'll be giving out your e-mail address along with your name and other information about yourself. So long as you format everything properly, the first thing someone will see is your name - only later will they look at your e-mail address. And who knows, with a last name like gamer it might stick in their heads a bit more, or help you get noticed. The only time you might have a problem with it is if you are e-mailing someone you don't know out of the blue, but that doesn't happen too often "in the real world" - or if it does, you're doing it from an e-mail your company setup for you, or your school gave you, in which case the name doesn't matter, just the part after the @.
