My little brother used to say "Your gona get a smashing from mum when she gets home" for doing something we probably shudn't have been doing. Being small he would say it as "Smash King" instead od smashing. The rest is history for the last 25 years...

That's quite cool. We have "helipockets" instead of helicopters in our family for the same sort of reason.

My 3 letter tag is pig, this is short for pigmy, my nick name.

My live tag Soulless V, is short for Soulless Vessel (to long for live), and is my gothic name.  Soulless meaning to be with out a soul, Vessel, a container, such as reffenced to the human body. A soulless vessel, a human without a soul, a vampire.

My one is actually a serious gamertag too, lol. I'd like to have had a funny username, but I couldn't think of any. Besides, I think Angry Potato was taken.

Anyway, a Third Eye most commonly refers to a part in your brain or something (maybe I should have really studied it, lol) which is able to harness or manifest metaphysical powers and stufff. Like ESP, telekinesis, etc.

2012 comes from the fact that the Mayan calendar ends on this year. I'm pretty sure it ends on the 21st of December, and with the ending of this calendar, the apocalypse could roll around, or we could become higher beings that think in different ways, and we all advance as a race.

That's how my username come to be, lol.

MySR is pretty much a name that Ive had for awhile now. I use it practically on any forum and I have to say Ive told this story like 4 times now including this time here lol. My = me, myself & I - SR = the initials of my partners name. And thats about it .. pretty simple huh lol

Mine came from the name everybody calls me by, my nickname Mase, but i thought i'd make it different so that my favourite number which is the number 5 would replace the S. Knowing that it would be common i tried it anyway, as i thought it would, it was already taken, so i thought of turning the number 5 into the word Five and it worked. And now instead of Ma5e it's Mafivee, I get alot of confused people online over how to pronounce it. I get called Ma-five, Maf-a-vee, Ma-fi-vee or just Five to the people who are not sure how to say it.

There has been quite a few new gamers joining the community in recent months. Some interesting gamertags amongst you all.

Be great to know the stories behind some of these.

Thanks to those who have posted theirs previously.

Mines a combination of my surname, Hampton and the -dog is me taking the **** of the afirican american vernacular dogg or dawg (i'm not black nor do i particularly like hip hop, or randy jackson) with a touch of pride at the end cause it didn't work without it.

used hampdog at local lans and it stuck once friends found it goes well with the catdog theme.

Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.

Initially games only had the three letters so it was NOL then as you could add more letters (Commando was the first game that arrived in Wanganui that allowed this) it became NOL LUV DI. I've continued using this ever since.

20 years later we are still married so no need to change this.

If you have a story behind your gamer tag (interesting or not) feel free to share this.

20 Years is quite a feat NOL, congrats to you..... Im just coming up to my first year (25th Sept dont let me forget!!)

Anyway... the reason behind my GT.... its the license plate on one of the cars we have.

Used to be on a Honda CRX.... the wife's a tad crazy..... CRXZY pretty self explanatory there

Hmmm, thought I'd done this. Apparently not.

Anyway was setting up Mum and Dad's PC years ago and was showing them the mighty internet. Dad wanted to look at some farming site and I had to sign up to get access. I asked dad what I should use for the user name, he said 'Tussock' so I promptly mis-spelt it and I have used Tusock ever since.

So it's Tusock, as in Tussock Grass or Tussock Moth, not '2Sock' (sound's like a hip-hop rapper dude).

Damn! Just googled tusock, yay for the originality!

lol

I didn't want to use my other gamertag so I used one of the suggested ones.

no reason, well i think there was some reason but i frgot, should have put NZL for New zealand on tho

I /b/rought food!

Well heres me!

Keen for any games of Forza, SCIV, COD4, Too Human at the mo!

I think mine is pretty self-explanatory...

Ive had this name for years, i love what it represents too and for me.

I've used the name rasputin for over 11 years first playing serial connected lans of C&C and red alert then bolo (they should release bolo on live that game is awesome) and quake team fortress. 

Had to put the stupid oo oo in because someone else always has it (I wish I could be like the Highlander tracking down uses of it so I could be the one). 

Why Rasputin? Man that dude was awesome if you don't know who he is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rasputin. There you go informative and educational.

Whangarei, Nz

Been using if for years (10 to 15 of sweet sweet gaming)

Was orgionally Black Valvet I got the idea from an old Coke add
(Black Silk, Velvet Milk) but couldn't spell so it was Black Valvet

Then I got lazy and shortened it to Black Val

and more lazy still Black V and there is stayed

I'll always be Black V or [BT]Black V depending on where you see the tag (xbox/steam/msn/etc)

[BT]Black V was Here

The m0rph3us bit comes from the Matrix, Morpheus being a pretty awesome character, anyone who can destroy a SUV with a samurai sword has INSTANT cred... and the 17 being my lucky number.

Mine? Well... Jerm was a name given to me back in intermediate (Short for Jeremy I guess) and the 'machi' part was given to me by my brother when we were trying to find a decent online name just after playing some Tekken when I beat him repeatedly with Heihachi.

My Full online name is Jermachi Mishima, It's great because It's never ever ever used.


I was told that it was silly once though.

Well, Im Italian, and ppl at skwl know this, and one particular guy, wenever he saw me wud go "EHH ITS THE FRIENDLY ITALIAN" in a stereotypical italian voice, and i couldnt think of anything else so i used this.

Although im thinking of changing it to DRUSStheLEG3ND simply because that guy is a Legend and should be honoured.

Read the book 'The Choronicles of Druss the Legend' by David Gemmell if you want to know more and i highly recommend him as a writer if your into heroic fantasy.

Live life by the Iron Code

Awesome thread. Figured I might as well join in on the fun.

I wanted The Sad Mafioso, but it was taken. (my fave song from Godspeeds F#A# infinity sign)

So I went for my second favourite song :)

Not sure what it means or where it came from. Although I have been mistaken for a girl a couple of times when using it.

Ummm since i like Metallica
i was thinking if i could get a gamertag to do with that and yeah
SHOOTmeAGAIN i tried it didnt work
so i added another I, SHOOTmeAGAIIN
and yeah it worked

since ive been playing cod4 and halo3 people think it has to do with people shotting me again
its kind of anoying cause some  people dis it but its ok cause most people compliment me about it

A few years ago, I was bored in 4th form Maths, I was day dreaming just gazing around the room, then my eyes feel on the chart containing the Greek alphabet, which has words like

Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Upsilon, Omega etc

Omicron is the letter "O" in the Greek Alphabet. I thought it sounded cool, but the "c" looked ***, so I replaced it with a "k" and made the "n" and capital "N"...

There is my interesting story on how I came up with my Gamertag...
