Well, not those exact ones, but yeah, I see the Xx[Name]xX thing quite a bit.

It's probably the result of systems that only allow one of each name. Someone wants to be called SolidSnake, but it's already taken, so they have to get inventive, and since everybody knows Xs are cool...

Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure we have a XxJuliaxX or something on these very forums.

Those fictional characters used as tags? A few times. Those 'x's on the sides? More fucking times then I could ever hope to count.

Since playing Starcraft 1 online, doesn't bother me in the slightest x) if people want to show their love of a game or character it isn't my place to tell them not to.

Putting borders on your gamertag means you're 'leet.

There is not much to it, people (read: 12 year olds) think it looks cool

XxxMyGaMeRtAgIsAmAzInGbEcAuSeItSsOhArDtOrEaDxxX is a very popular choice for some reason. Throw in some numbers and your hardcore.

It depends really, I put "l" on both sides of my name and it's alot better than that "xXx" shit wouldn't you agree? xD

Plus just plain "Rookie" is ALWAYS taken so I have to do something >.<

X in general is for those that have small grapefruits.
Or for those who had their eyes set on a particular username but discovered that it was already taken.

No, I never see those names. Those choices of names would suggest the user has at least some taste.

I like to express my disgust for these names by posting my parody university personal statement, where I claim I will cure AIDS etc. and I claim usernames like that as something respectable.
"I want to be a game designer. Playing games has always been my greatest hobby. I want to stick it to the publishers of big games and make the next big thing and watch them all go bankrupt as I sit in my wheely chair, stroking my white cat, and cackling. I want to ignore the rule about games never being finished before release. I want to be the guy playing with dinosaur toys at his desk, about to make the next biggest breakthrough in fun. If I don?t get the job I might as well die, because reasons. Also I like economics and am going to go swim with turtles in space in my gap year. And this gap year will take place between the years 1985 and 1955. Because the new speed limits will be 80, and so 88 will be on the edge of the ?10% variation?. My games will cure cancer, and give all children in the world super power AIDS. I also plan to revolutionise cloud gaming by eliminating the need to leave your house to do jobs. All lorries will be wirelessly controlled by an online server running ?Euro Truck Simulator?. I will saturate the iRectum market with vibrator apps. And all the world?s cars will run on procrastination. The world?s leaders will just be the tallest ones. America has already taken advantage of this idea, and it is working well. I will become the world?s only pimpking gamer president contortionist, with the highly unique and respectable nickname of XxzzLe3TShn1PZZZZssx the Third. Every male?s love spuds will be replaced with corrupt Aperture Science personality cores, screaming for space and cake ingredients. And as they all look up to my grand nutsack tower, and beg for rhubarb, I?ll look down and whisper??FREE DA DEEDAH!!?."

I second this. It took me a good amount of time to make sense of that... thing, after my brain had resumed normal function.
I have no problems with people putting XXX on the end of their usernames, as long as they understand that I interpret that as them sending me 'kisses' whenever they interact with me.

I just hate it when people use the following words:

Sniper, Assassin, Hitman, Lone Wolf and Head shot.

My gamer tag is Patricks Law. Come at me bro.

It's quite pretentious.
I remember Role Playing on Neopets many years ago and so many people had usernames like that and extremely small font.
