I wonder if that's same idea with people putting ||| around their name? Like ||| Snypa420 |||. I've been seeing a lot of gamertags like that all of a sudden and it's kind of odd.

It's also a bit funny though because at a glance it makes their name look like "lil' Snypa420."

I saw SKRILLEX911 on xbl. So for the guy wondering who the next Sephiroth is, it's SKRILLEX.

Every once in a while some dudes will pop up with the names YogscastXephos and YogscastSips. I always think "why sips and not honeydew?" Also they're loving terrible.

I used some third party site to find their gamertags, because xbox.com is so loving terrible.

I actually played with a lilsnipah(some string of numbers here) in Battlefield 3 last night. I was kind of interested to see whether, according to the law that a player's skill is inversely proportional to how "badass" their name is, he would be good because of "lil" or terrible because of "snipah."

He ran train on me all night with his ACW-R, though, so I guess the "lil" won out.

Also in Battlefield 3 I ran into an IHumpZebras, which straddles the fine line between "terrible" and "awesome in an ironic sort of way."

I have never seen anyone explain this. Seriously what the gently caress

The xXx thing used to signify that you were straight edge. (It still does actually. It's just you'll get lumped with the other idiots unless you go out of your way to prove that's what the x's around your name signify.) The x's all stood for one of three different abstinence's. (Alcohol free, Drug free, No promiscuous sex) Then it got taken when little billy thought "Oh wow that looks so l33t nasty!" and soon it spread like a bad plague. Also:

I thought this terrible trend was over too, but I just played a SC2 game with AZNxSpartan. I never understood why people felt the need to broadcast their ethnicity with such a lame tag.

Oh finally I can share these from Call Of Duty 2, back from when the Xbox360 first released.
"CaptianQueefToes" and "Flappinbeefcurtins" were my favorites. My immature friend and self would always make loud obnoxious fart/queef style sounds when they'd get kills. "Afropubes" from COD3 was also good but ruined it by asking everyone how "awhsum" my screen name is.
I also enjoyed my old tag of "That Guy." So people's screens could display:"You were killed by that guy."

Forever ago when I was like 12, there was a guy playing Starcraft with some variation of "IOnlyLose"; he had a record of something like 0-1200-1400. The weird part was, we all did pretty well that match (4v4, we won), especially him, but he disconnected a few seconds before the match actually ended so that it wouldn't count as a win. I guess you have to be dedicated to get really good at the game, but still purposefully not win so that your gimmick handle stays accurate.

There was another guy whose name was "TheKing##", and I suspected he would be a huge douche. No one on our team understood what he was doing at first; we were playing one of those cheap rear end money maps with 9999 minerals stacked right on top of the command center/nexus/hatchery, and the starting locations were all just squares. He filled something like a 10x10 grid of nothing but command centers and floated them all, and i was completely but then when someone finally attacked him, their units got caught up shooting at the floating command centers while his seige tanks, which no one could see underneath all the cc's, wiped out all their units.

When I was very small I thought that AZN was a really odd abbreviation for "Amazing" and didn't understand why everyone used such a counterintuitive abbreviation, and then I realized it meant "Asian" and I felt really dumb.

My personal favorite bad username is the dude on a browser MMO I play whose handle is Vaginal BloodFart. The best part of it is that he's a highly respected player and apparently a pretty nice guy, just a guy who chose an amazingly bad UN.

My personal shame, from the same game, is my account named Jenny Saucepn. I was going for a riff on the Moxy Fruvous song "Johnny Saucepn" (yes, I was an idiotic college kid), but the number of times I've had to correct people on the spelling or explain why it's spelled that way has made me feel a soul-deep regret.

When Halo 2 came out my roommate got a ridiculous amount of friend requests by using the Gamertag Curious4U. Never used a mic and didn't claim to be a girl. But every other match weirdo nerds would be trying to chat him up.

On my WoW server there was a guy that named himself Toucher and pvped enough to get the "Private" title.

And when the Kony 2012 thing was blowing up a child soldier showed up in a TF2 game or two.

A couple years back, I decided to try and make the absolute worst gamertag possible.

I ended up with _xX53P|-|[o^_^o]R07|-|Xx_. If you can't read that, it's "Sephiroth" but in 1337, with an anime face replacing the I and extraneous _xX tails.

My little sister's pretty cool, but her goddamn gamertag is something like xXx-SiLeNtSnIpE-xXx or whatever.

Worst part is when we took her to a store to get something real quick and the girl at the counter asked her for her email. This little blonde girl explaining to her over the counter "it's ecks ecks ecks, silent ~sneeeiiiyyyypaaaahhhhhhhh~ at blabla dotcom"

My 12 year old son decided on the name RinsableWorf (not randomly generated) and I asked him why. He loves Star Trek and apparently every version of "urmom" he could come up with was already taken. He's since changed it to "CrazyWhaffle", but personally I preferred the first one for sheer "wtf" value.
