OMG
Master Chief w/o his Helmet!


Stosh <3's me vicariously... at least someone does...

I didn't even know this was option (or I forgot; same gamertag since 2004), but the thought of it is so odd to me.

Who would be so uncreative that they couldn't even choose their own name?

I recently found out this is what some of my friends (since 2004) did, so I was curious.

Yes and my name ended up being ifarted69.

Most of what I say is sarcasm, the rest is of the highest intellect.

I wanted "The Black Knight", yet Xbox live said it wasn't available and suggested this to me.

One thing led to another and...

No, when I joined I didn't even know it was possible.
I was equally surprised when I found it out it's possible to change your tag.

I'm guessing the people who have XBL make a gamertag name for them?

Exactly OP I chose one of the most misspelled gt's out there because it wasn't taken. Honestly I regret nothing since by now it has become something like an icon considering how long I have used it for. Also even today it is nice having a consistent username for most things due to how badly it is spelled.

An XBL friend way back when made this gamertag for me. Never liked it a whole lot but I got a free 1 year subscription out of it, and then it just stuck and I never bothered changing it.

Never make me angry. I am a Hitman and I can easily find you and take you out.

I didn't, but yet I didn't choose it myself either. My cousin did and he knew I was a crazy Hitman fan.

Since "Hitman" wasn't available he chose my current one. And I like it. It defines me.

The sentence below is a lie.

The sentence above is the truth.

I never had the option, but i had this name in mind from the start.

  • 12.31.2012 3:17 PM PDT

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Yes, my first XBL name was peacefulsleet, that doesn't even make sense.

I got my GT from my old Runescape account. I've been using this name for a while now.

  • 12.31.2012 3:18 PM PDT

I never do that

心の中に弱い風が吹いています。

I've had the same GT ever since I joined. I've seen a few people I know go with what LIVE gives them, but I'd personally choose my own.

My first gamertag was what my username currently is. I just really wanted to get on Live, and didn't really care about the numbers.

No, but I do know a few of my friends that did have Xbox Live make them an off the wall gamertag and decided to keep it.

  • 12.31.2012 3:24 PM PDT

I take it you're here for a reason?

Well... I did kind of copy my bro when he let it choose his. It was originally "Bold" instead of "Courageous". Since I couldn't think of anything else at the time, I just replaced his name with mine.

Thus Courageous Mike was born.

1.) "Crack In Time" - Louder Production Music
2.) "Agressive Sucks" - Moss Landing
3.) Custom Version of "Meet Oscar" - Louder Productions Music
4.) "Behind You Rise" - Distortion Music
5.) "Aurora" - Mark Petrie
6.) "Surge Down - Audio Machine

It used to be Shadow Wolf1254 (Very original GT; I was 10 years old -___-)

I then made a new account, and just took out Shadow and put in ROFL.

And thus, ROFL Wolf was born

You get one free change though if you let it select one at random.
