my wife made my GT and have had some people make fun of my name for it. I went and bought a headset to counter the mockery with "hey i am a 33 year old man not a 12 year old"
I like to think I am a decent player but who knows.


I'm in the same boat. For some reason, Wife thought it wise to work our pet names into one gamertag. Depending on how you interpret it, I'm either a persistent stoner or an 8 year old

I cringe every time I see a variation of "xX...........Xx." For some reason my experience always deteriorates when someone with that tag is in the game.


This.

xXx_____xXx or any variation of this usually ends up being a 10 year old who barely has enough hand-eye coordination to blow his own nose.

Other than that: 

Yes, braggy or offensive player names usually end up being bad players.

No, the name doesn't necessarily reflect on the skill level.

My gamertag is "Siansonea". The only response I've ever gotten on it is "I have no idea how to pronounce that". (It's SHAN-suh-nee, by the way, not see-uh-NO-zhah or SHAWN-so-NAY-uh).

I am always leery of xXxKiLlaStUdComMaNdoxXx-style names. Inevitably rotten little kids that I want to punch in the face.

I was kicked once because of my tag...

Not sure why, but they said it's offensive...

Can anyone tell me if I, unknowingly, chose some kind of swear as my name?

Many people on the PS3 take advantage of the fact online is free to make TDM's

Names that consist mostly of an assortment of numbers and x's always make me cringe and expect the worst.

That it was

Wasn't expecting anyone to get that. Congrats, you get a cookie and +1 internetz ;)


I haven't heard it since high-school, but as soon as I read "Vorpal Sword" it just popped back into my head for some reason. I always seem to retain the most random and least useful things I learn in school

Yep, but only because of that one truly awful joke in the Dresden Files when he's "talking" with his dad.

I once overheard this conversation while entering a lobby:

Player 1: "What happened to xxxxxx?"
Player 2: "Aw, he left. He said he didn't want to do gold."
Player 1: "Ha ha, what a p****. I don't even play bronze or silver anymore. I wreck that s*** in 10 minutes."

When I enter the lobby, I see that Player 1's username is "call_of_duty_god_420".*

-______-

Also, I just saw someone named "Jenna_Maroney". That's pretty awesome.

(* I've changed the formatting of the name, so I don't violate the "shaming" rule.)

Well, at least nobody gets to see your character names as well. My Krogan Soldier named "Ballstomper" probably wouldn't have gone too well for BW.

Often. Usually a lot of X's and a constant mix of small and capital letters = terrible player. Especially in cod, but they probably migrated from there anyway so it works in me3 too.

Other good ones: Anything with snipe(z), and several zzz's.

I only started this thread as I was just in a game with a player that had a really offensive name (to me anyway). He played fine but I was fighting the impulse not to revive him every wave!


Not made not to play.

With you, that is.

What a pathetic, petty reason to not want to revive someone. And I swear, I am so sick of you little twits jumping at the chance to be offended. At freakin' any and everything.

I don't judge a player till I played at least one game with them. I do have a friend that has "killer" in his name and he's a really good player. But I met more bad players than good.
