First off I want to say that this is my first thread, and that I made it mostly to experiment and stuff, so be nice and please tell me if it's shit.

I find it funny how extremely ''creative'' people are on the interwebs, and you see it all the time in gamertags and stuff like that. I always get cracked up good when I see try hard names like XxSn1p3r_Pr0d1gyxX and xXXElit3xGodxOfxCodXXx or Pr0xSn1p3rG0DxXx.

So what is the funniest/most tryhard gamertag you've seen?

And FYI, there is a history behind my name, so it doesent count :3 I was an age of conan fan, and I made it to troll WoW players

Oh man.

Anyone remember a while back here there was a guy called, forgive me if I'm mistaken in some capacity:

xX_sk4t3rg0h4n_Xx and he always said like, you gotta skate?

Aw man I loved that guy. He was a terrible poster.

Those tags don't scream try hard to me, they say 12 year old fucking moron.

Yeah those aren't tryhard gamertags, just little kids. If you have played Gamebattles for CoD, you'll know what tryhard gtags really are. They always choose some stupid word and then mess it up with alternate caps and x's or z's. So something like x ReFleXzz or o CluTchZz o, or AniMosiTyz v2 etc.

I'm surprised there was no mention of "Ninja" "Shadow" "Dragon" or "Killer" in your OP.

Although to be honest I don't have much room to mock the gamertags of others... Flanlord may be nice for originality in that it has yet to ever be taken in any game I've played, but it doesn't really get much for creativity... or making sense.

I wanted to swap to Fractalligator after a few Day[9] dailies, but there are just too many websites and games to change my tag on now. I am stuck.

I always liked the WoW names where it would be very spec/build specific, and a couple weeks after making that character they weren't playing that spec/build. (Shadow priest named Bubblznthings, the Holy paladin named Retforlife etc.)

I think xXShadowXNinjaXx was pretty up there though... I was more shocked to actually see it outside of a joke about gamers than anything... looking back I wonder if it was a joke.

i know console shooters are generally looked down upon on this site, but my god the people that play it are even more retarded. I was once in a lobby and I swear to god, there were three people with almost identical gamertags, it was like iiiSNiiiPeZZZ, iSniiipEZzzZ and iSnIpErZzZ or something lol. I don't get why people do it, do they think it looks cool?
