    Mine is kinda a homage to this forum moderator of the Star Wars Battlefront boards from way before the first one even came out. I needed a screenname and his was kinda cool so i changed it around a bit to make it my own and bam: SwooshZ56

    well, at one point i went through this phase of stickmen animation, which was just after i got rid of a virus that stole my name and everything, almost resulting in identity freud, so i was a bit paranoid about saying anything about myself on t'internet. most animators have an alias of some sort, and i decided i needed one, so i thought, hmm... a name, not my name, a random name... i chose Seth(also the name of the Egyptian God of Chaos).

    so thats how i got Seth, which isn't actually my real name, and then i wanted somtthing else, which kind of said i animate. i chose sketch, don't knmow why, i just did.

    but Sethsketch sounded wrong, so i put in a "ka" in between, so i got Sethkasketch.


    btw it only took about 10 seconds to think of.

    Well, i believe politics is just dumb and we need someone with real power in it, like an assasin...
    LIKE ALTAIR [assasin's creed]
    So my election campaign will be 'Altair for Prime Minister' or 'Altair4PM' :-}

    After reading all these mine seems boring, Robinson my last name, for all you rapists out there.

    Robinson shortened = Robbo, I Robbo I = Beast.

    Thinking of changing it shortly though although still keeping Robbo in there somewhere.

    I take pride in expressing myself, and it makes it easier with a GT. Its a shame people automatically assume that "Marley54" is about smoking pot. It takes a more open and creative mond to know that Bob Marley stood for more than smoking pot. He was a well spirited man. He was level headed and represented peace and unity and encouraged it amongst society. He mainly expressed his emotions through his music, also IRL. This is why I choose this, so when some one says "ohh you smoke too?" I can calmy explain that no I dont smoke at all or ever really have any intentions, if I do it's on RARE occasions. I love explaining who Bob Marley really was and is.

    Thanks,

    Roboto

    gt: II 4FACE II


    I write graffiti, my tag is Bild Four. My dad called me face-man the whole time i was a kid, and still does sometimes. So I just combined the two I guess, plus I love two face from Batman, and 4 is twice as much as 2, so I'm twice as bad to the ass. Plus I am totally insane and have like 50 personalities, so that name fits me fine.

    The I's come from not being allowed to gt my name with a number hehe.

    Name origin

    My name comes from a nickname I got at lacrosse. One of my friends was yelling my name from across the field and I couldn't hear him, so he decided to yell 'moose'! For some reason, I turned around and addressed this name instead of mine. Also, my grandads' nickname was moose when he was young.

    Well, my backstory isn't too spectacular, so here goes. My first name starts with a D, and my last name starts with "Bo." Hence, one of my elementary school teachers back in the day gave me the nickname "D-Bo." And it stuck. People still call me "D-Bo," and... yeah.

    Now the actual gamertag part: When I made up my gamertag on Xbox 360 launch night, I tried to name myself "D-Bo." But unbeknownst to me at the time, hyphens aren't allowed in gamertags. So I improvised, and stuck an "e" in place of the hyphen. Since "Debo" is such a generic name, it was already taken as well.

    Not one to give up on my original plans, I did as most others do- I tacked a number onto the end. In my case, I picked 37, not just because of its status as my favorite number, but because of deeper reasons. It is my formal opinion that the number "37" is the real life version of "the number 23." (there was a crappy movie about it, remember?) 37 lurks everywhere I look. Everywhere. I should write a blog entry about it.

    So... that's the story of my Gamertag. Not too deep, but kinda cool. Hope you enjoyed it!

    The Origins of Hashmeer come from the internet music group called Group X. Hashmeer is the nick name of the lead singer from the band and it just stuck on me. I used that gamertag for most anything. Counter-Strike, WoW, Everquest, Halo.

    NWP is my Halo 3 clan; NWP stands for Ninjas Without Pants and we have a website: www.nwp.aowc.net

    my name came from an amalgamation of a lot of things. First Vicious came from my aggressive gaming style when it comes to FPS (CS,goldeneye,unreal, etc..). It also came from one of my favorite anime characters, Vicious from the Cowboy Bebop Series. Having a second V-word came from the V for Vendetta speech where everyother word is a V word. So i choose Vice because a Vice is an immoral or evil habit or practice and i have plenty of those some very Vicious you could say. Vicious Vice was born and my previous gamertag of MassiveHysteria was lost to the ages. oh yeah and my real name is Vince that might have something to do with it to lol

    At first mine was Tastypoo because it was funny, but it was taken on live so I made my account GIue (capital i). Then my account got banned randomly and im lazy so instead of thinking of something baller I just tried my last name. Since it was taken, I just put an I in front of it to make it 3D, hence INovaK

    Well my LelandKun2009 came from basically my name and graduation year. The Kun (Koon) came from a friend of mine. He was studying Japanese and he started calling my Leland-Kun. Which Kun stood for Friendly. And I thought it would be kinda Ironic. So it came together. Leland-Kun(Friendly)2009.

    Eggs are my favorite food so I treid using that for my gamertag ( as you can see i am not very creative) but sadly Egg was taken so i chose to put 02 after Egg, dont ask me why i just randomly chose two numbers, and that is how i got my GT.
    Just to clear up why i have the phrase Leggomyeggo and a picture of a waffle under my username is becuase on xbox live everybody thought i ment the waffle so i just went along with it.

    My friends and I play Halo. Combat Evolved a lot. So one day they decided to let me create a profile. It toke me forever to think of a name. I kept thinking and thinking and nothing. So my friend´s older brother said make something with your name in it. And I thought about how I was the only Ricardo in like the whole state (Maryland). So I thought of TheRealRico. Seeing how of the only real Ricardo in the area
