I was just wondering if any of you knew the meaning of my xbox's name. It is "The Bear." I know sometimes they name themselves after games you play alot or the name that you always use to save things, but I have never played a game with a bear nor have I ever saved anything with the words bear in it.

Maybe its because you are sneaky? I began to think about mine just after I posted it and realized that sometimes when I am playing halo or any other multiplayer game with my friends instead of hiding behind objects and jumping over stuff, I run straight at them and just blow theyre brains out. Its just easier and takes less time some times. Maybe that is why I am the bear? Or maybe you are Weasel because you take the easy way out.

but i am a melee fighter like you...i think it has more to do with the fact that all x-boxes have different name so that when connected to other boxes people dont get confused and people know whos hosting the game

Yes, I know that they have names when they are made to begin with, but I also know that the names change over time match the owner. So if you save files under "ugly" for like 10 different games than your xbox will also change its name to "ugly."

Each name represents a different style of player...

Sleepy= you play the xbox too much

Sneaky= you play alot of spy games

I know sleepy exists, dont know about sneaky, just a example

I don't think that they seriously thought thier Xboxes are that sophisticated, they had to be just joking. If they thought computers could analyze patterns like that several years ago when the console was designed, they should be wondering why PCs still take thier user input through keyboards.

Some games let you input a new name for your Xbox, some don't. Halo doesn't. I guess it's 'cause Bungie didn't think we'd care too much what labels are assigned to our machines. I'm not gonna change mine's name anyway; I'm leaving it as "Prancer" to show my Halo pride.

Mine are "Halo 001, Halo 002, Halo 003, and Halo 004" I know they aren't original but it helps me keep track during LAN matches.

I'll be on my own side.

my actual Xbox name is Ayane because when you play DOA3 survival mode,your Xbox name changes to whatever you enter for your name. before DOA3,it was Enchilada

Hehe... I dunno about you, but I can only play with one Xbox at a time and the only people with whom I might set up a LAN party have their own too. I would rather invest the little money I have in games than redundant machinery. The mod chip does have a bypass switch so you can go on LIVE, doesn't it?

My firstxbox was named Penguin but it broke, so the next one I bought is Caboose, and my new Halo Special Edition is Wilshire (not to fond of the name.)
