    Well 1 day i was just in school and i was thinking i needed a gamertag with an H and a Z so i thought Hertz and then i added my favorite number Hertz381. And that sounds awsome.

    Because my name is Aaron...

    The reason for two pillars on the side (or i's) is because Aaronator was taken and just a day before i could get on live i checked on xbox.com and it was still avaliable.

    well back in elementary school id go to afterschool daycare, and one of hte teachers their was a coach, and hed played football for a number of years, and his entire family went by nicknames, so he gave everyone there names, and since i could bend my arm backwards and make little children cry, and that i have absolutlely NO HAIR, anywhere, due to a harmless old sickness named alapeisha, giving me a slick type of head similar to a snake, my couch named me Snake, and i loved that name, but online someone had taken it, and so i was like hmmmm, ok lets try metallic snake-that was taken too, so i typed in MetalicSnakeX(with the mistake of only 1 L) and that was my gamertag(that was a long sentence). people call me metallic, and it has nothing to do with ivory snake.

    My name actually has no amazing and memorable backstory. I was trying to make an account on live and after five tries (I refused to put numbers in my tag) I thought "what is something that no one would have?" Suckitude came to mind. So I put it in, accepted and reread the "Welcome". I friggen misspelled it. I forgot the "i" and now I was landed with sucktude. I was happy though. It was simple, straightforeward, easy to say (unless your, like, under the age of 12. None of them can say it. Ever.), and no annoying as hell Random letters (xXYOURNAMEXx) or numbers (N05cop3k1ng, or NoScpopeKing1234567891011 etc. etc.). So there you have it. My Gamertag.

    I originally started online games back with Starcraft. I decided I wasn't original and tried Blizzard Software (not the best idea, being named after the company...). It rejected it so I shortened and modified it until I ended up with b_software. It wasn't a bad name, but didn't have a ring or meaning. I used this name for everything, including Urban Dead, other online games, usernames, and yes... Runescape. From there, I trained my guy up slowly, meanwhile making other accounts (Imbushkillme, a level 3 character who is stuck near some level 90 monsters in the wilderness) and so forth. One day a friend at school decides to give me his high level account. Being a loser at that time, I jump for the opportunity. A level 70 was nice, and so the age of Draconic74 began. A great name, and a signifying number that meant absolutely nothing. I moved onto other games, including Halo:CE demo for mac, where I spent a year or so modding the crap out of. I also replayed Starcraft using the new name. Halo 2 LAN parties with friends followed (although I had no consoles) and eventually Halo 3 LAN parties were the new thing. Then I got a console, and immediatly used Draconic74 as SPARTAN-D74, for I had been playing Halo Demo for some time as SPARTAN-074, which fit perfectly (coinsidence?). And then that lands me here.

    **A google search on my name reveals a lot of the things I used it for

    Note to self: you type to much...

    Golden comes from my favorite color.
    Knight comes from my fascination in medival times.

    Combine that with no creativity at age nine (when i got XBL) and you have goldenknight508

    My original gamer tag was NoobxExtinction but everyone made fun of that. Then when I changed I thought of a mythbusters episode where they tried to use ice bullets and from there I made my gamertag IcexBullet.

    oddly enough my GT comes from the MSN gaming zone, i was like 9 or 10 at the time, so i tried to think of a cool name that would be oringial and still be awesome, thus you have helzmessenger, and i still use that name for everything even after 5 years

    I doubt anyone else knows of this particular game, but the origin of Okage is that it's the name of one of my favorite PS2 games, Okage Shadow King. I think Okage is Japanese for Shadow King or something like that, I'm too damn lazy to even try and find out...

    Oh, and the 4 part is just because 4 is my favorite number...

    and that is the exciting origin of my gamertag. I should have a movie made about it or something....

    Well....The day I got live I had chick-fil-a. I was about to take a drink of my Sweat Tea when I noticed the Eat More Chicken thing, I think its spelled differently but whatever. So I tryed it and it was taken. And I'm not puttin numbers in my name. So I go to the random name thingys and go through several pages looking for something that stands out. There was SandyPizza but I decided I would go a couple more pages. Then I saw DisturbedPillow. I like to be "different" in some things. And yes I know its a stupid name...so stupid it makes my friends laugh. Oh ya...and my other GT is Da Evil Plumber.

    First Word: I saw the word Vorpal in two games I played, and I thought it was a cool word so I've used it often...

    Second Word: Saint actually comes from The Boondock Saints. I'm basically 90% Irish... so yeah. <3 that movie.

    So.... that's where I get Vorpal Saint.

    Well, my GT is my nickname, it has nothing to do with the place called Idaho(I don't know the spelling). It wouldn't feel right if I changed it.

    Well, Doomsdale847 is my user tag.
    I derived it from my common username Doomsdale. But someone already took "Doomsdale". So I added the 847 in the back. 847 is my back up number for any username. However, I wish it was 42...

    My gamertag is EZappa. E is the first letter of my first name (Ethan,) and Zappa is the last name of a music artist I used to like, Frank Zappa. Even though I stopped liking the artist, the name still stuck.

    Well, the GLI thing is my clan/company name but the Kash part, thats a deeper story.

    I used to play mmorpgs a bunch and my first one was final fantasy XI online. My name in that game was kashilna, and everyone just called me kash and it just kind of carried from that because I played with friends from my school, and they learned it and it just spread.
