I don’t get it… Who’s Dave?

My GT (Tales) is from about 6 years ago or so when they released a bunch of OG Xbox names. I had a list of ones I tried to get, but ended up landing on this one. I still get messages to this day of people trying to buy it from me.

When Xbox Live launched November of 2002, my Username was OneBadMutha on forums because I thought Shaft and the Pulp Fiction ā€œBad Muthaā€¦ā€ wallet were cool. So I went with it on Xbox Live Day 1 almost 19 years ago and haven’t found anything I liked better since.

I took a leadership class in highschool and we were suppose to make a fake license plate that really represented us, whether it be serious or not. Back then, I was pretty random and a bit of a goof, so I decided to take the work Crazy and Spaz and smash them together.

Thus, now we have CRZYSPZ, where 30% of the world pronounces it correctly, and the rest say ā€œCrispiesā€ lol.

I thought it sounded cool. That’s literally it. I’ve got no creativity anymore.

Key and Peele Substitute Teacher

My name is Aaron, and when this sketch dropped I was then forever referred to at work as A A Ron…I had a lot of work friends on Xbox adding me so I just said fuck it and changed my GT to ā€˜Wheres A A Ron’.

Ridge Racer is one of my favorite game series of all time so my Xbox (Kamata Angelus) and PSN (Sodat_Rauna) are based off of my favorite cars from the sadly dormant series (still holding out hope for a Series X/S or PS5 entry)

10k was too short. Spelt out it was Tenkay. That was taken. So I added my favourite number ā€œ23ā€ to the end of it.

Thus, Tenkay23 was born.

My current gamertag is eChameleon. Shortly before the Series S/X released, I changed it from EvilChameleon09 to the aforementioned eChameleon. Nice and short, and feels early 2000’s internet.

First GamerTag was my real name… changed it after I got tired of people mispronouncing it more online than I already hear in the day to day. I should’ve known better.

Second GamerTag named after a song I liked a lot, at full blast it was literally my alarm clock music during jr/sr year of highschool: God Forbid: Mind Eraser - YouTube. Better than any coffee.

Third and current GamerTag change is an ode to of my favorite bands: Behemoth: The Nephilim Rising - YouTube…

Mine is very boring. It’s just my nickname and some numbers. I’m very bad at coming up with names for anything

Mine is just the 3 first letters from my first name, middle name and last name. Added ā€œIncā€ to make it look like a big ass company :smiley:

I later discovered that MRE is also used in the US Army for Meals Ready to Eat. Pour some hot water in an aluminium bag with some powder in it, and ik magically changes into a hot juicy steak :wink:

I made it at the height of Game of Throne’s popularity, but wanted to avoid a big character name that a lot of others would have. So I went with Pod, because his last name is Payne. Which is nice because I get the benefit of a unique side character of a popular show, while also having cool sounding name, without having to follow the typical idiocy of having two cool words smashed together incoharently. It was a win/win

…though I DID mispell it. There is no e, in Podrick. But screw it, no one knows enough about him to catch that…until now…shit

My gamertag (Rolz Ravz) is given to me by my friends based on the car brand Rolls-Royce. Ravz is also a play on my original ame.
