For those who wish to contact me on Xbox LIVE, my main account is "The 7th Taco", and the one linked with my profile here is only a backup.

My favorite number is 7 and my nickname used to be Taco.

Got my username in part from the awesome tv series Band of Brothers.
The other part because I have many brothers myself and we are close and well like a Band of Brothers so it seemed to fit and I will keep it always.

"You get what you put into it."

When Legendary is too mainstream, you have Heroic. When you're the leader of the church of MLGeezus, have Epic in your username, and can't write 'About Me's' to save your life, what do you get?

This guy. And now, an side note: Most things I post contain lethal doses of sarcasm, so be warned, and try not to take me seriously.

Finally, a message to Bungie trolls everywhere.

Had absolutely no clue what to use for a username, and a friend suggested something that was 'Epic'.

You can all see how that turned out. >.>

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

Prometheus, in Greek mythology, was a figure that embodied the concepts of foresight, self-sacrifice, and knowledge, traits that I try to use in my every day decision making. Furthermore, one particular story tells of Prometheus stealing fire (which is often interpreted as symbolizing knowledge, intellect, and technology) from the gods and passing it on to humans. I've always liked and identified with this story, as much of my life has been geared towards the pursuit of science and helping those around me.

I love Greek mythology, and when I decided to pick a name 8 years ago, I wanted a name rooted in this field. I stumbled upon the story of Prometheus in high school and have loved it ever since. If only I didn't have to use numbers at the end....

Dear tomorrow, Find some sensibility, Respond to emotion.
Dear Politician, Define sagacity,
All chances of survival are beginning to diminish.
Comedy is no excuse for our own blasphemies.
Mass media, Mass pessimism, Mass Denial.
My television tells me to panic, but I don't think I'll listen.
The apathetic force us to persevere, with their backwards priorities.

I always say "Long-story-short", so this time I will go a bit in depth.

My brother and I are Star Wars nerds. Ever since we first started getting into the fiction, we have been huge mandolorian fans. We played a bunch of the games like KOTOR, BF, and Republic Commando. We also liked Bioncles and watched all the movies and bought the toys(who didn't).

So, my brother and I started building and naming our own Bioncles like any lego-loving kid would. One day my brother made a Matoran and named it "Jolaz". He did this because he had heard some of the Bioncle makers named the Matoran by combining their own first and last names. I followed suit, and named one "Isloc".

As we aged, we started becoming Star Wars nerds again and made up our own fake bounty hunters. They were based off of us, so we used the previous Matoran names because they contained our own real names. In our fiction, they were descendants of the KOTOR character "Bendak Starkiller", hence the last name. One of my brother's friends actually wrote a book that at one point featured "Jolaz Starkiller".

I later got into online gaming, and remembered that this "Isloc Starkiller" character was supposed to be a bad***. I used that as my XBL gamertag when "Halo Warrior" was already used.

I am no longer such an in-depth Star Wars nerd, but the name stuck for me for usernames, as it is quite unique.

Xbox LIVE gamertag: Dat3lessNutella

To look up my Halo stats...search for the gamertag TopWargamer.

If I can change it....i'll probably change it to something super random.

Hey I am a big Bungie fan ever since I played Halo 2. I love the series, I love Bungie. I have made a few Bungie logos in my metal shop.

It was my gamertag, and Mozzarella was my favorite cheese.

I just tried to think of a cool-sounding name without any numbers. I'm still pleased with it to this day.

"Living to smile, and not to succeed; smiling to inspire happiness, not to give the illusion you are happy; creativity and music to inspire smiling, which in turn inspires happiness; being nice to be happy, not for being perceived a good person."

I didn't know you could choose it at the time...
