What's in a name? If you're on xbox live probably not a lot of thinking.

Forums user BROS SUN PRAISER has a really wonderful thread going right now about horrid and awful videogame hatemail. I posted about some really bad gamertags I've run across lately, and there seemed to be a bit of interest, so in order to prevent a derail I've created this thread.

Here's a couple of gems from the other thread, with bonus awful hatemail attached! I think I'll let them speak for themselves.





Interesting fact about that second one, I've noticed that people with lovely gamertags love to use that avatar pose for their gamer picture. I guess it does look pretty brutal!

Some fantastic ones I've seen over the past few days:

GaudiestPath & Trolling 4 Life
How can a path be gaudy? :iiam:
And I hope the other guy really does troll his whole life. There would be nothing cooler than someone's grandfather shouting "I trolled you"!

So let's hear them. Infuriating, ignorant, asinine, or just plain dumb.

It owns though. I mean I guess this thread about the worst ever gamertags, but this one owns. Sorry :sigh:

I guess I should clarify; I thought that originally but the way he had it formatted it was fairly obvious it wasn't an auto genned name. Guess I sort of borked that one up.

My gamertag I made in middle school.

xxxMercenary007

From what I remember I really wanted to use Mercenary, as I had used it on another game but obviously it was taken and adding xxx and 007 was the best thing I could think of. My xbox ended up RROD a few years ago and I switched to PC gaming anyways so I never bothered to change it.

What continues to haunt me is my first guild wars 1 character "Man Warrior Destroy".

I've seen this guy on the goon-owned Battlefield 3 servers a few times. Is he a goon?

The worst I've seen lately has been xxSUPA SKILLSxx, who finished a full game 0 - 4, or zZDaRkMaGiXZz. Why people surround their GT with characters aNd SpElL tHeM lIkE tHiS is beyond me.

Best I've seen was years ago: GRANNYS MINGE. Every time he killed me I giggled, because I am a child.

I used to play games with a dude named payne2damax. He was totally serious about the name and thought it was the coolest thing ever. He was also a douchebag.

And if Warcraft names count, my dad used to name all of his characters ridiculous things. Like he would name his paladin "Vatoloco."

I guess when you're ten people tell you that long pubes = long dick? This person couldn't possibly have any to think that.

Also, as a weird side note, "minx" or "minxy" is the most common username for women I have seen on the internet. I've seen at least 5, and that's probably over half that I know. Originality!

There's a popular Youtube LPer named Mangaminx, and also MissHannahMinx. I won't say any other ones because they're just girls with Youtube channels and I don't want people creepin' on 'em.

And yeah, you'll see thousands with "girl" in the name, because a lot of young girls (mainly the same ones who heavily use DeviantArt) are pretty hungry for attention.

Back in the days of Counter-Strike I must have played with dozens of people with the name "AzNkilla". I'd always briefly wonder if that meant they were an asian person that kills people, or if they killed asian people.

Any xxXNAMEHEREXxx name annoys the poo poo out of me. Also 420 in any form, I know smoking weed and playing Xbox is a big part of your life but no one gives a gently caress you stoner moron.


And back in my WoW days when the Death Knights were introduced I lost count of how many Sephiroth variations I saw. I'd like to say people's video game character names don't annoy me but that just got under my skin for some reason.

Actually, that's usually just what they want people to think.

I saw a warlock named Cybercity once in world of warcraft. I don't know why but that was the best name I had ever seen. It was just so drat goofy and frustrated, like an angry chihuahua. I imagined some kid in a No Fear t-shirt creating his first character, practically vibrating with excitement at his desk. Piles of Witchblade comics strewn around him. Sipping on a glass of chocolate milk with a crazy straw, he immediately picks the warlock. In his adolescent mind, the power to command demons would surely instill the fear and respect he so obviously deserved. The mighty summoner needed a name. A name that would echo in eternity as a warning of the sheer power he now possessed. Something cool and mysterious, like the matrix movies he had seen so many times. His shaking fingers pecking at the keys, one by one. It was done. He was ready. Cybercity.
