[Guest Gazzer96]

I have Gazzer in my username which is a nickname for Gareth. the 96 is when I was born (1996).

 

On Xbox Live I used to be called Vadrigar which is a boss from one my favoriate games called 'Quake 3 Revaluation' and was exclusively produced for PS2. No one could pronounce 'Vadrigar' and some took the p*** out of it so I changed it to a another character on Quake 3 called 'Xaero'.

[Calavera]

My name comes from the classic game called Grim Fandango.

My brother used to play that years back, maybe when it came out - atleast I was very young but I always remembered that game... years later I asked him what the game was called and I looked up some footage, for the people that know the game; I watched the whole walkthrough - took me like a week, made me have nightmares about it and shit but I kept going because it was just so good!

 

The main character in the game is called Manny Calavera, he's basically living in the world of the dead and that's what Calavera means, it's Spanish for skull, which his head is known for :)

 

So there you go, a long story made even longer!

 

By the way, I only started using this name since like 2 years, since I love it looks so good in my opinion.  ^_^

[WanderingFool]

Simple: I get lost ALOT

[No Quarter]

no quarter - nobody can be taken prisoner...all enemy combatants must be killed, also, a sweet song by led zeppelin

[YummYumms]

Been using this tag since Xbox live first came out.  Not really sure why I picked being as I was like 13.  Just sounded like something funny.  Never looked back.

[altereDad]

I used to go by some pages as altered. When I became a parent things changed. Now I'm a dad. I put the two together.

[ThermoUndynamics]

It combines the worst thing in existence with my punny thoughts on the subject. 

[olan1225]

My user name is from when I went to school, the first two letters in my first and last name. The numbers is the month and day I was born. Yes, it is 25th of December :(

[silentpower]

[Nademagnet]

Found out that i seem to be unable to dodge the pineapple! I have absolutly the worst luck with grenades/explosives in games like Halo, wether they are lobbed at me by enemies or my own missfires. I remember playing countless hours of Firefight on ODST, where id go for ever without dying, but the first time a nade is thrown- BOOOOM! This earned me the nickname 'Nademagnet amongst my Live friends.

[Mr. Brovahkiin]

Well I made this account before I became what I am today which is Professor Brovahkiin, after getting my doctorate and being Known as Dr. Brovahkiin and helping the lives of many people through my use of shouts in surgery, such as using fire breath to cauterize wounds and using ice breath to numb areas of the body during surgery. After that I retired and became a professor at S.I.T, the Skyrim Instituate of Technology to teach my ways young aspiring students... yeah.

[CornOnJacob]

My name is Jacob, and I asked my friend--"What's a good username for me?" The firs thing that came to his mind was a pun on "corn on the cob" (no idea why). I liked it and I've used it since (i.e. ~two years).

[Nademagnet]

Should I even go there?

YES!

[NewHopeTech]

Back when I was playing Runescape(MMORPG) I started to become stronger than my friends. I sort of became a new hope when I battled things like blue dragons(I know what you're thinking :P) because my freinds had to have super expensive swords and shields, etc, and I could just grab my bow and kill anything. They're never challenged me since :D

[Tocsin_786]

ive had this username for about 8 years and is kind of apart of my life consisting of different variations of it on different profiles

[FloRolf]

Flo is short for my First Name

and Rolf was indented to be Rofl (for Rolling on the floor laughing) but i had a Typo in my fb account (where is comes from)

so now im using it everywhere! :P

[JcGross]

I wanted to tell this story for quite a while now. Back in my early days, my brother created a cool name for himself from the letters of his real name. I really envied it because my letters were a lot worse and I couldn't make one up that made sense or sounded cool. For a few years I stuck with it though, but one day I was fed up with it. It was lame. So I googled "random name generator". I checked a few boxes, messed about a bit and got JcGross. Which I thought was amazingly cool sounding. And I still think that. So I use it ever since.

[DvD92]

My username, is linked directly to my first name.

 

D is the first letter

V is the middle letter

D is the last letter

 

92 is the year i was born. 

[MissSublime-Gee]

Sublime is one of my favourite band and the 'Gee' Stands for gamer, but sounds like gangster ;)
