I used to hate people who did it, but it makes me a little sad that nobody names themselves Sephirothxx or CloudxStrife anymore. Makes me feel old as gently caress. What cliched characters do kids name themselves after nowadays?

I made my Live Gamertag TheDudePenguin because I figured Live for PC wouldn't last much longer and I was just using it for a single player game(Fallout 3). Now 4 years and like a dozen games later it's still going and I have the stupidest Gamertag.

I wouldn't have gotten it anytime soon otherwise.) and the only two people who talked to me were 'naruto77(some other character's name)' on L4D2, and 'TWIZTED###' on GTA4 (it's a band that is related to Insane Clown Posse). Also really annoying is people with names like 'BRI4N_ALPH4_1337' or whatever the gently caress, because I know each time they kill me they are just going crazy in their head about how loving ALPHA BRO they are. On the opposite end, I don' mind at all getting killed by people with pleasant names, like Ms.BlueJay, or something I don't remember but it was about pandas.

My little brother went with "ElectroBlizzard", which...I guess isn't as bad as it could be. He's 12, so it's not too bad. I'd tried to sell him on something else, but I forget what it was now. My best friend runs as VulgarHandsign, though, which I still think is pretty drat great. Mine's ADeckOfZero which I also like, though not as much.

A friend of mine likes to use [r/mensrights] ObamaAtheist420 in Steam and variations on that theme elsewhere. He also likes to set things on fire.

I think BUZZ UR GF WOOF was the best one I've ever seen. It sounds like a goon but I never played with them again. Also congrats to whoever got 50shadesofgay and then got banned so no one can use that name any more

I saw a guy on the old Resident Evil: Outbreak network with the username "bigballs." He'd never played before, and we were on the highest difficulty. The scary thing is, he more than carried his weight; he was probably our MVP. Polybius91 has a new favorite as of 02:27 on Jun 15, 2012 |

My all time favorite was a guy I played Battlefield 2142 who's name was "SephirothSnipah420". Edit: I just remembered I work with a black jewish guy who's gamertag is something like "2outof3". If only he were gay. Your Gay Uncle has a new favorite as of 06:36 on Jun 15, 2012 |

I played a blops game once with MANASSMAN. All caps too. I couldn't help but laugh every time I got killed by him. Edit: Can't forget about a good friends gamertag though. Milktoots. Best thing to ever come out of the combination of being extremely tired, playing warcraft 3, and drinking milk. Bumper Stickup has a new favorite as of 04:53 on Jun 15, 2012 |

My first ever experience with Xbox Live was when I was visiting my brother and he told me to try out Crimson Skies. Two minutes into my first match, I saw a guy named "Columbia Cartel" who had the whitest most aspie voice ever. Of course I did the logical thing, put on the headset, and heckled the little brat until he started to cry.

I remember playing with a guy that was just named THE NY GIANTS which got a big kick out of us playing. Oh! There was a time we were playing Halo, we get into the pre-game lobby, and some kid is in there swearing and acting like kids do online, pretty usual stuff. The kid eventually swears, and KISS BABES 4 LIFE just goes "Hey kid, none of that swearing." and the kid totally stops and just goes "Yeah you're right I'm sorry." I can only assume the kid saw the name, decided that he too would like to kiss babes for his whole life, and figured he should take the advice. The name fuckin' kills me though. Kiss babes? Compared to the rest of the stuff you see on the internet it just seems so... innocent. I always just like to envision the naming process for people choosing their online handles. "Alright, here we go, I've just bought an xbox subscription, paid real money, time to choose my name. What are my interests? Kissing babes! I can make that my name!'

Favorites, all from Halo 3 4: "Soldier 4 Christ": This user was on the same XBox as number 1. 3. "Tiggernipple": Enough said. 2. "FamilyXBox": Predictably, this player was very very, bad. We wrecked this person mercilessly every round and I talked a lot of trash. I don't normally, but, hey, FamilyXBox. 1. "Christ Soliders": Poor bastard.

I remember reading a thing ages ago about how someone's skill level is almost always inverse to the machismo and bravado displayed in their gamertag so if you see someone named 'xXxSnipahD00d420xXx' you know that you will be able to beat their rear end in seconds but when someone named 'gumdrops' shows up then everyone is going to die. I thought it might've been a cracked article but a cursory google search didn't bring up what I was looking for so if anyone knows what I'm talking about and could post it that would be cool.

My first username on anything online was ROLLERCOASTERDOG. And I hated rollercoasters. The best one I've ever seen, however, was a dude that just had the username Dad? (I can't remember if it was XBox or Steam (I assume Steam)) and every 30 seconds, without fail, he would simply say "Dad?". I laughed each and every time.

That sounds like a corollary to the assumptions made based on how expensive/powerful a man's car is.

One time when our WoW server went down me and a friend decided to roll level one humans on one of the handful of servers still up. When we finally made it into the random dungeon finder the first group we landed in had two well named folks: Both were black human males the warrior tank: Bignig and the rogue: Stealyourtv Also back in maybe 2004, I remember my buddy was super into Gaia Online. At some point he encountered what I assumed to be a troll account: Inuyashaemodemonangelgoth Some good ones I remember from various games: EXTREME WEED: I always like the sound of this, like I imagine a pot plant in JNCO jeans popping a wheelie while drinking Jolt. jesusjesus2: Because jesusjesus was taken? dhyx: Used to be a Gunz pubstar who was one of the first people to badly imitate a much better player called Monks. Was totally oblivious to the fact that his name sounded like "dicks" Koreans: Another Gunz player, arguably one of the best, still its a bad gamer tag. There is a guild on the WoW server I used to play on called <Table>, whats interesting is there is another totally unrelated guild called <Chair>. I have been told they once raided together. Also to make matters more interesting both guilds have several players named after inanimate objects, so when we pugged raids using people from their guilds we would always end up with half our raid being named things like Bowl or Phone.
