I'd like to be half-man half-tree in an octopus' garden in the shade.

It's annoying. I feel like I'm playing the same person over and over each time I see another variation of "BR Pro" and "iTz ____" in people's gamertags. Choose something original, without numbers (unless they actually mean something, like yours do) or Xs.

Never leave home without your shotgun.

I like my name. It's sexy. So's yours.
..come here often?

Mmmm Brains!

Because these people are so full of themselves, that they think they are supergood and have to put leettalk in their gamertag because they think they are leet

Yes I am from Lebanon & yes that is in the middle east!
Yes I am a Muslim & yes I am proud of it!
LEBO is short for Lebanese, so yeah. Anyway My name is Amer Shahen (Shahen means Falcon or Eagle in arabic) lol I can't speak arabic that well. Amer is pronounced Amir just like Yusuf Amir off GTA4. I don't hate Americans either BTW.
Have fun, go hard and most of all respect your fellow gamers.
Check out my Fileshare!

I understand what you mean, and those names suck. Im happy with my name =) People with those names are MLG wannabees and even though i like and respect real MLG players, I have no respect what so ever for these kind of gamers.

The Spartan 1 Project, the biggest, best and most active group on Bnet.

Apparently being original doesn't matter anymore.

But more importantly what does it matter? If people want to make up tags that are essentially the same as thousands of others...let them. Its their choice to do so.

iTZ l3git MLG BR sKi11ZZ

Typical tryhard gamertag above.........and yes I know it wouldnt fit.

  • 08.19.2010 4:54 AM PDT

fear me, for i am pro sauce

nobody really cares what your GT is unless it is funny or offensive but seeing different variants of the same name is just boring, no originality anymore

  • 08.19.2010 4:57 AM PDT

that and when some ones name is 100% caps like there screaming it at you (not that's what you are doing moose93) and something i did that i regreat was no caps for the first letter of each name... i dont know why it just bugs the crap out of me

TEamDEmoCLan FTW

Now my gamer-tag is TDC VORT3X my main friends are TDC TOX1C, TDC Desertsheep and tdc read my bio

Now none of us play MLG, swear non stop like 12 year olds and none of us have got close to getting a 50, so what do we play for? Fun obviously, we aren't the worst gamers ever but we certainly aren't the best.

So why have TDC in all our gamer-tags? Well why not?

Not everyone with a repetitive gamertag is a try-hard, just most.

i see that all the time and have done that with my friends in CoD1 (pc version is the only decent one) just as a way to signify we were working together
