What does your gamertag truely mean? Is their a story behind it...

Pretty simple just post information on why your gamertag is what it is!

Example: My gamertag is FuzzyStormz I made it randomly one day but my friends say if you where to define it, FuzzyStormz would be "its raining cats and dogs" or it would be a snow storm.

Now your turn :)

my gt was actually one of my nicknames back in HS

My GT used to be SGTWWIIFREAK.

Then back in 2009, (or was it 2008?) I went into the Bungie vs World Playlist in Halo 3. The next day I was sporting a shiny new set of Recon Armor, a couple of months before ODST Dropped and it became Viral.

Loco had given me the nickname "Recan" for getting it, and soon after I changed my GT to it since few people were still calling me SGTWWIIFREAK.

(Point is, out of the hundreds of thousands that played in the Bungie vs World Playlist, only 2000 earned it. And this guy was one of them. :) )

i named mine after liquor
hahaha

Well, it's my name... and I just started playing in HD after I bought myself a 32" Samsung 1080p television, and "______ HD" is a popular thing for montage editors or skillful players to put in their names, without looking too douchey.

My GT used to be NickBoehm (Literally my brothers name) because we bought an xbox together.

Deathhawk was my first online username, when I played Runescape in like 4th grade, my neighbor was introducing it to me and somehow we came up with Deathhawk, and i've used it since.

Twitch
06-28-2011, 03:01 PM
GT: The Twitch

Reason...My playstyle is twitchy...its never smooth. Some random person downloaded one of my videos and watched it. Then sent me a msg asking if i had a physical twitch problem lol...
I asked him why he asked that and he said, "Because its so confusing watching your playstyle cause its never smooth always jumpy like a twitch."

Therefore I changed my GT to : The Twitch

In my old neighborhood, a lot of guys used to rhyme freestyle.

I remember that in those days, I wished that I could do the same.

I would always ask someone to do their thing, but I usually got excuses.




Then one day I decided to just do it on my own.

Six months later, I was a force to be reckoned with.

One year later, I was the best on my block. They called me "Syfe".

Two years after, I was going to different parts of the city; challenging only the best.

Three years later, many MCs would come to challenge me; seeking to make a name for themselves.




Four years later, I was murdering entire crews and performing at some small venues.

Five years into it, I was enjoying some small celebrity status.

Six years went by and I was now a master of my craft.

Seven years down the road, I was dealing with shady business execs from some small labels.

Eight years, and I was growing weary of appointments and meetings.




Nine years later, all I wanted was to be able to rhyme on my block again; without the ass kissing.

Ten years went by and I found that I no longer cared for the pipe dream or it's lime light.

Eleven years came and went, I laid low and found the harmony that solace and peace offer.

Twelve years later, I resurfaced and destroyed all imitators and biters that had adopted my persona.




Thirteenth year, I was recognized as the true "Underground King" of my city.

Fourteen years strong, I easily became bored with the newer competitors.

Fifteen years have gone by; I have yet to be dethroned.




Let's just say; I didn't mind when I got stuck with the name.


Nowadays...I am the name.

I use to play an MMORPG by the name of Star Wars Galaxies. When I first started playing I used the random game generator and got some random ass name and my last name was siko. I joined a guild called MoB who at the time was trying to recruit members be using the name of one of the most powerful guilds on the server called MoD or Minions of Darkness. I had joined the guild at the tail end of that and MoD declared war on MoB. I was approached by Officers in MoD and they asked why i was in there. When the whole MoB vs MoD drama was over I was a member of MoD. I wanted to start fresh so I scraped my toon and kept the Siko name and turned it into Silko.

06-28-2011, 06:51 PM
I joined Xbox Live towards the end of the summer in 2006, at that time there was a show on the History Channel called "Mail Call" hosted by the one and only R. Lee Ermey. I watched it quite a bit. On the show, they called Ermey "Gunny". I always liked the name, so when I went to create my 'tag on Xbox Live, I put in "Gunny", but it was taken. (Whoever has it never uses the account........)

So then it suggested some modified versions of it. I chose the first one suggested. ChargingGUNNY. Yeah, I know.

Fast forward a bit to the Halo 3 Beta. I wasn't happy with the "Charging" part of my GT, so I forked out the 800 MS points to change it to "KillerGUNNY132". I've never changed it since.

Interesting story, I know.

First i was called DoctorKnight and that came about when i was trying to find a name for a my person on some random mmorpg and i was looking around at all my books and i saw the book "Ruby Knight" i tried that and it didn't work but i liked the knight bit in it so i kept that then i was trying to think of another word for it and i went through Mr. and Master Knight but they didn't sound right then i came up with DoctorKnight and it sounded alright :)

When i came onto Xbox LIVE i kept DoctorKnight for ages then i changed it to TheLeanKing which was me and a group of mates from school who just liked playing with each other, Lean can be used as slang for high so there was me TheLeanKing, TheLeanMan, TheLeanDon, TheLeanFarmer and so more.

After a while i was getting bored of that when a friend on xbox came up to me and said "change your name to iZ ClutcH with me" and i said okay if he would give me 800msp which he did so i tryed DoctoR iZ ClutcH but it was to many letters then KnighT iZ ClutcH but it was also to many letters then i got rid of the K and became NighT iZ ClutcH... and thats my life story

06-28-2011, 07:58 PM
I haven't changed my name at all, not since 2004 i think?

but back then i was young and stupid... or at least not as smart as i actually am now(in comparison to normal to other people).... and i thought is would be cool because my train of thought started like this "this is your grave and its on fire" though i was using grave as a substitute for grim reaper or killer ( and on fire was supposed to be like doing well not actually on fire)... though i like it now and can see it as a good gamertag that no way resemble the thought process it came out of lol

I got LIVE in 2004 and during that time we were learning about the Spartan Warriors in history class and they really appealed to me, so I decided to name myself Spartan (and no, it was not because of HALO). Spartan Warriors kicked ass, and when I play video games I normally kick ass too...so yeah. The BH is my initials.

You take the first 3 letters of your first name, and the first 2 of your last name.

Eric Richter = Eri Ri

'1138' came from George Lucas' first film, THX 1138.

"Vicious" at the end of "RaZ" after my favorite porn star.. lol

I was thinking about that the other day actually.. I KNEW THATS WHERE YOU GOT IT FROM.



oh yea ummm my GT was Shorty5220 back in the h2 days. Shorty cuz thats what my dad called me (no not "shawty"). And 5220 cuz i was retarded and could never remember my damn garage code.

Well, come 2007ish (year H3 released) i was listenin to some XM radio and heard "know your enemy" on some random channel and instantly became a Rage Against the Machine fan. Later my dad went and bought me the renegades CD. Heard Renegades of funk, posted it as my facebook status (like the beast i am) felt like a cool kid and made it my GT.

Sadly now trolls spam me weekly asking if i like RATM

06-29-2011, 03:08 AM
My GT was created before Xbox Live in a small game called Halo: Combat Evolved. My brothers created their own profiles on Halo with nicknames so I felt inclined to come up with a nickname for myself. So I named my profile "Dr K" for Doctor Kevin.

When I got XBL, I didn't have the funds to make my own gamertag so I used one months (and a lot of them) while playing Halo 2. My first official GT that I liked the most was
xX Dr K Xx (the "X's" were there before every MLG try-hard started doing it).

Once I got a 360 in 2006, I created my first official Gamertag zZ Dr K Zz since I couldn't recover the old one.

I had a lot of gamertags, but the only variation of Dr K that I like besides the one I have is/was
x DoCTa x K.

And since Raz brought it up, I figured I would say that although I didn't incorporate my favorite porn stars name into my GT, I did name my female shephard in ME2 Tori with Black hair (I dare you to crack that obvious code to figure out the full name).

Haha, anywho, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

My gamertag just comes from my last name, Snyder. My friends started calling me Snytz as a nickname. When it came to making my gamertag, I didn't want some try hard MLG one. So I chose this name.

JigokuNoNinja15
06-29-2011, 01:28 PM
My original GT was THELASTNINJA15, and I have no idea why i chose that.. My GT now comes from an anime I used to watch called Jigoku Shoujo or Hell Girl. Keeping with the Ninja, I changed my GT to JigokuNoNinja15 which means Hell's Ninja.

I soon plan on changing it back to that soon. PuRE DeV1L is my clan name that im leaving. :)

Well mine is pretty weird no one probably could have figured it out because of how the ending has such a large meaning. Gamer4PawZ was created because I could be separate from my bro, but he didnt want it so I took it and we switched Forum accounts.
most of it is pretty easy to decifer, but the main thing is the Paw. It actually is off of one of my favorite book series, paw is the sign of a apprentice and comes after everyone whos role is that name. It is a sign of acceptance of where I am at this point of time, Ive taken up a lot of space so END.

07-21-2011, 03:17 PM
Oh god it's actually a longer story than you would originally believe.

Okay, it was originally Hazedslayer57, which came from the name generator (I was like....ten when this happened, so I didn't care too much.)

Two years later I had looked at my name...and realized it had nothing to do with me. With every change of personality comes a new gamertag, I say.

I then became XxpiercexX, the name I chose to dub myself as here. Got bored quickly with it.

A bit of nostalgia hit me, mostly due to the realization that almost ALL of my friends still called me "Hazy" even after all the name changes.

Couple months later, I joined a clan in which the requirement was to add an X and a number to your name. About 2400 microsoft points later, I became the HazyX9 you all know and love. And possibly despise. And definitely envy :)
