I now officiallly HATE gamertags.

[Jack and Calumon]

I have had all those slung at me by people called things like "X_X-EPICZSNIPEZ-X_X"

I am embarrassed to hear if you are on PS3, because thats one of my Real Life friends Tag. >.<

 

[Sir Kemper]

People are fucking morons. Alot of said fucking morons tend to gather on XBL and such becuase of the glowly screen.


Also, this remindes me of somebody's gametag i encountered on TF2: =MLG= XXXH3ADSH0TXXX

However, as i played with him, it really turned out he was just... how do you brit's say it? 'Takeing the piss out of it'?

EDIT: Actually probably the worst type of gamertag are those were it's just a long string of numbers, like 12412487104 or if it's one of those PC symbols, those always make me want to punch the person who made that there gamertag in the face.

It's not really gamertags that annoy me (I've not found one yet) but the people that upon finding out you are from Scotland start shouting "HAGGIS" repeatedly or say "go and eat your roll and sausage" like it's some kind of insult. Well, it's at least only a problem until you reach the mute button. Silence is golden.

 

[DrEmo]

From all the data I have gathered on this thread, it's safe to say that I have created the greatest gamertag known to man or beaver:

xXJ0eMcLovINsNipErXx123x420Xx

 

[C0nn0r666]

i actually do not allow people on my friends list if they have two x's in it help get rid of the retards

But what if his name really is Jimmy Xerox?

it's more if their right next to each other

Same here. Every month or so I do a retard filter and get rid of people that I don't talk to or turned out to be jerks or just weren't that good. I'd rather have 15 good friends instead of 80 I ignore.

i sometimes do that too their just wasting space...

Jeepers Julie, you must live in a perpetual state of hate if your wind up by gamer tags to the point were you have compiled a list of do's and don'ts.

On topic, I have yet to venture into the murky waters of online play but I will do so in 1 week so I have no problems with what people want to call themselves, why would a little thing like that annoy me?

Wherever there is anonymity there is a d bag.

 

[asinann]

It's xbox, didn't that give you a clue to the intellect of the people on it? For all the people about to say im a fanboy and stupid shit like that, I have all 3 consoles and a decent PC.

That doesn't prevent fanboyism. That's like when someone says or does something racists and then says "I can't be racist, I have black friends."

Yeah well a fanboy has one console and defends it till death cause that's what they have, no logic behind it.

A fanboy is someone that defends to the death one console or system over another no matter what evidence is presented to the contrary, even if they own every system/console ever made.

 

[Lemon Of Life]

Anyone who has Xs within or around their Tag for effect should be shot.

 

[keybird]

Some gamertags can be funny like one of my friends who's gamertag is MyStickyBalls

In Halo when he beats people down it will say "MyStickyBalls beat you down"

 

[BiscuitTrouser]

Aparently SLICKSYTH spells silky scyth. I get the scyth but S L I K SPELLS SLIK FOR THE LOVE OF GOD not silky! Where did this extra y even come from?!. I accept my name as silky now, thats how far ive fallen.

You named gamer tags that were fairly harmless. THESE ARE THE SINNERS!

XxdeathassassinxX
Xxelite ninja sniper death shadow XxxxXXx
XxXXxxXX Elite death shadow death angelxxx

Anything with X's and words such as Death shadow angel elite sniper ect...
These are cloned tags with no originality and an automatic plus 10 fail at being hardcore.
My friend has a gamertag of XxD3athS3rephemxX which he claims is original. I lose hope in the naming of acounts forever more.

These make me grind my teeth, get a real gamertag or get out.

 

[Thaius]

I liked it when some idiot with a million numbers and Xs said that "Thaius" is a stupid name. Riiiiight.......

I love gamertags. I hate the idiots that screw with them.

 

[GamingAwesome1]

People construe my name as me saying "I'm awesome at games" IT MEANS "Games are Awesome!"

NOTE THE ORDER OF THE FUCKING WORDS!!!

 

[Legion]

It's almost a law of he Xbox 360 that anyone with the word 'Epic' or 'Elite' will be someone who either cheats or quits when they start losing. I am yet to see an exception to this rule.

 

[Lullabye]

People construe my name as me saying "I'm awesome at games" IT MEANS "Games are Awesome!"

NOTE THE ORDER OF THE FUCKING WORDS!!!

It means "Gaming is awesome". It's a verb not a noun. Good try though.

I once saw a GT with the motto
"K111 411 7H3 N1663122"
took me aboot tree seconds to figure out what it's 1337 speak for. go ahead, try.

Because you own all three consoles doesn't make you immune to being a fanboy, I could own a PSP and a DS and be a major fanboy over the DS and completely abuse the PSP. That being said you are correct, most xbox live users tend not be the sharpest nails in the shed.

 

[Jory]

mine is just J5G. My initials are JSG, and that was taken. I think it's neat. I'm not usually a fan of using numbers instead of letters, but I think it still looks smart and it's clearly readable.

 

[Jammerz]

I try to keep fairly original gamertags. My first one was Eatbabiesmmgood. Kinda sucked but hey no numbers or X's right? But then Microsoft made me change my name after a year so now I'm Clown_shoes

completely off topic but was there a reason Microsoft made you change your gamertag? because I'm coming on the one year mark and I rather like mine.
