    Secret = Stems from a government security clearance. Conveys a sense of pride and appeases my bloated ego.
    Schnitzel = My call sign while stationed over seas at an undisclosed government post. Also a fun nick name to use in the bars. :p

    retribution221
    Came from these books I were reading, the night angel trilogy, and well, It happened. There were three faces to the night angel. Retribution, redemption, and revenge. I think. So I chose retribution.

    ...

    And stuck 221 at the end.


    BTW, Boom Dead Fail, What the Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu- -dge?

    The idea for mine came from the Metal Gear Solid series. Most of the characters have code names that are comprised of an animal and a weapon. For example Revolver Ocelot, Vulcan Raven, Sniper Wolf. So we (a few friends and I) came up with some of our own like Bazooka Bobcat and Lead Locust. Super nerdy I know haha

    j0r3l08 <-----------What the hell is that?


    Well my friends, I did not chose this gamertag, it was my brother. j0r3l08 comes from Jorel -since my brother's name is Joel- so my gamertag it's basically it's l33t speak with 08 added at the end.

    Jorel08 ---- j0r3l08













    And I hate my gamertag. I prefer raexe.

    My Gamertag is HereticPilot101,no,it was not an auto suggestion,I made it myself.My friends always called me Heretic when I was a kid because I'm an atheist.I also fly planes in the Civil Air Patrol,hence pilot.And I'm very good(at least at Halo),and a term one of my friends used to use a lot was schooled.101 seems to be a cliche for school.HereticPilot101

    I'm a Packers fan, so: Packers + fanatic = Packeranatic

    But the name means more to me now than just being a Packers fan. I also go by Nic.

    When I started out as a Drum and Bass DJ my name was Paranoia. Sadly that name was taken on XBL so I added my home country. I've been Paranoia UK for so long now that I sometimes add the UK for my DJ name lol. These days I like to be known as PUK online

    I have gone through so many GTs, but any way my final one, that i found for me is

    Mechanophobia, which is the Fear of Machines (its a outdated term predating Technophobia

    I like it because it evokes

    Mechanical

    Fear

    I also have the Gt Demonstrator and Cheerwine

    It's not really a well-known phrase, but mine came from "Putting on a clinic" so I adapted from that

    played a game on Powerhouse back in October, we were kickin ass and the other team felt the need to start tea-bagging despite the fact they were losing.

    one of the guys apparently didn't understand the simple maneuver and everytime would give a half-assed bag; looked like he was dunking his cookies.

    Formerly Zero Tolerance, my gt was created I'm guessing around 2005. I was in college for video production and communications and just so happens, zero tolerance was my most idled production company :p.
    ... Being that it was an "adult video" production company... Lol

    I was playing a Custom Forge Gametype called Forge Wars where each person is in a different team and they build their own little base somewhere in Forge world. I sniped my friend in the head multiple times and the words that came out of his mouth was, "Legit for real dude?"

    So yeah.

    Mine originated in Halo Wars. I used my brother's account (we shared) until he got a PS3. Anyways, I hated the names he came up with. I kept trying to think of names but I couldn't think of anything that I actually liked. So back to the part where Halo Wars comes into play...Me and my friends have our main "Heroes" that we use, mine being Arbiter (before and after he was nerfed, if you know about the patches they released). I liked to use Scarabs a lot and because of the "Wuv Woo" skull they would shoot out rainbows and hearts and bubbles. This caused me to name mine Major Hugs. Naming him also encouraged me to build more strategies around him so that he wouldn't die as often. It was soon after this that I decided that I didn't care if my name sounded serious or not, so I changed my name to Major Hugs. My friends liked the humor of the name, but they kept saying that I should change my gamertag to Doctor Hugs. Well, before I did that I changed my name 2 more times to various random things. Then I decided to switch back to the Hugs theme, but instead of using Major Hugs I decided to use Doctor Hugs so that it wouldn't be repetitive. Yeah, long story, I know.

    The word "pau" is colloquial slang in Hawaii. It means "finished" or "is done."
    I would play Halo 3 with a group of friends late at night, and we would all sign on XBL after we were finished with dinner.

    So we used the following format for our clan's gamertag: [First Name]PauEat.
    The format spread, reaching people we had not known o__O

    I make sandwiches. HotLikeStove.

    I have used many usernames before, from jmike9(8) to Erithian, but when I got my new Xbox 360 on XMAS'10, I had to think. And think, and think.

    I needed a new, original name, without numbers, x's, z's, or even o's. My premade name was, of course, SoggyMugsomenumbers. It sucked. And then, after playing some Black Ops (which is really bad, by the way) I figured I would use something cocky. Hot. HotLikeStove! I had it. The most beastly name in the universe was now mine. Of course, I have had some doubts in the past, but I think I'll keep it. It certainly brings all the ladies to the yard!

    Like when I played Black Ops (which is really bad, by the way) almost EVERYONE in the SnD lobbies would comment on my name, saying things such as, "Hey wazzup HotLikeAStove!" Of course, it only occurred to me that AFTER I had my name set up, there was actually a rap song about me! How nice!

    And that's it. Questions will be answered. Usually.
