Just wondering why people have picked the Gamer Tags they have? I chose mine after one of my favourite songs from Black Sabbath and the fact that it seemed appropriate for playing FPS and driving/racing games. So why did you choose yours?

DS9 and a Word fan by any chance? ;)

I used to draw a weekly science cartoon about a character with that name. It's also kind of my name ... Dr Nigel Eastmond. I also use it for online flight simulators (F/A-18 Korea and Warbirds for Mac) and it's easily shortened if the game doesn't allow many characters (Dr E).

Nige.

I was drunk and couldn't think of anything better and, for some reason, decided not to re-use any of my PC game aliases.

It's the same as the old site..which probably means it'll be too big!..unless you want it sideways...or on BXB?

Nah..already used it on BxB for a few months. No worries m8. Cheers. :D

Quote from the Zoombini's website (http://www.zoombinis.com/index_ie.html?sw=857&bw=1025) .

"Smart, Quirky, Fearless. Zoombini's are individuals with a diverse set of features- wild glasses, weird hairdo's, rockin roller skates, and springy shoes are just some of the many attributes they possess.
Fun loving and non-violent, Zoombini's use thier wacky wits and boggling brain power to defy adversity and help others in trouble.
Thier trek to distant lands is only complete once the Zoombini's have reached thier destonation and achieved thier goal."

This sounds good to me.
I liked the game.
I like to do that stuff above.
I help others when I can...dyb dyb dyb.
I love fun and am non violent.

I am
Zoombini.

what are the restrictions on gamer tags? i.e. shortest-longest

Ryan

SavingPrivateRyan! Yeah, I like that!!!!

Anyway I chose my Gamer Tag from one of my favourite games!
Delta Force: Black Hawk Down!!!!
On most missions you control Delta 5-1. God is he cool! And he's American! I'm English, I don't know why but I prefer the Americans!!

Don't know about length. (Maybe www.xbox.com/uk/live will say?)

They can include spaces though, & they're not case sensitive.

Always been interested in ancient history & mythology.

Tezcatlipoca (http://www.pantheon.org/articles/t/tezcatlipoca.html) was an Aztec (http://www.pantheon.org/areas/mythology/americas/aztec/articles.html) god of war (& other things), & the opponent of Quetzalcoatl (http://www.pantheon.org/articles/q/quetzalcoatl.html).

I used the name "Tezcatlipoca" for my evil god in Black & White on the PC. When I was trying to think of an XBL Gamertag, I decided to use my B&W name & chose "Tezcatlipoca".

Arges is the name of one of the original Cyclops from Greek Mythology. The Cyclops were strong, stubborn and abrupt of emotion.....and particularly vulnerable to the old 'one finger eye jab':D
