Topic

For me it all started out when I played Mega Man 8 on anniversary collection. I noticed one of the master robots in this game, Sword Man. He was different since he didnt rely on projectiles to fight Mega Man. WHen you select his stage he would say " Im Sword Man" the same went for all the other master robots in the game. He stage was a challenge for me compared to the other ones. I also really liked his attacks and the power up you get from him. And alos the fact that a lot of video game protagonists are very good as using swords. such as dante, cloud, link, auron etc.

So...yea place a story here ^^

Twelve years ago, I worked with my wife and another guy with my first name, so she would call us each by our last names...then she began to call me "stubbies" to be cute. Oh, and I'm a chef, so "Chefstubbies was then born.

I got mine from a song by Nas called "Drunk by Myself". In it he says "Push it to the limit, Buck 60". Some people see it and think it has something to do with money. It doesn't.

mine is a long story. It's based on biblic stories of the crucifixion, and the crown of thorns was the most insulting, brutal thing to mock a king with before you crucified him, you know, the story of jesus. I just thought that would be a pretty unique GT, except someone had it, so i changed my o's to zeros. so i guess it's not so unique after all.

The Revanent (correct spelling is revenant) but a revenant is someone who returns from the dead, usually a ghost that wishes to enact its revenge.

Well my first name is Karlo and I used to be in AA so my sponser used to say don't get loaded or you'll be Karloaded and so I became Karloaded.

Also my last name starts with Dabbag and i'm a Lord of the rings fan. Well the movies got boring but the soundtracks still rule so anyway I noticed Frodo bagins and my last name Dabbag****..anyways I became Dabbagins. And that's the story of me turning into Karloaded Dabbagins.

KGB Watermelon

Omg where to begin. Lets start with Watermelon. From Counter-Strike Source, I couldn't think of a name. Lookin in my kitchen, I think of Watermelons and how I love em. Used it there, I use it here.

Now for the d*mn KGB part. My friend Paradox helped me set up my account over the phone and before I finished he told me to put KGB in front of it. "what the hell does that mean?" "don't worry about it" Yea turns out it's not a good thing. Ugh, everyone on xbox live asks me about it. What a pain in the as*

I'm NOT in the Russian CIA!!!

I came up with Childeater a long time ago. I entered a Quake 2 tournament and I couldnt think of a funny name, because I always just have a stupid ironic name. And I came up with Childeater. It's stuck with me! I love it, I know it pisses people off when I own them and it freaks them out.

The ony annoying thing that people get mixed up with is on Xbox live they always call me a Michael Jackson... Which is completly wrong because he r***s kids not eats them. Its kind of annoying and then I look forword to owning them to.

Twigg EX... well...

Twigs are parts of trees that leaves grow on. I put two G's because there are two G's in Strogg, and in Twiggiy. EX stands for extra xenophobia, which my mom's dog has.

TVcasualty42 tvcasualty, because i was always a huge misfits fan (Danzig's misfits, not the sub-par replacement singer) and 42 for two reasons. one, it's the meaning of life (points for anyone who understands why that is), and tying into that concept, the juxtaposition of casualty and the meaning of life seemed to fit together well... although again, i guess the sentiment is lost if you don't understand why or how 42 is the meaning of life...

Il Consiglieri - Back in college, my buddies and I loved The Godfather. Within our group, we were each a character. We had Don Corleone (love ya, Hillda), Michael (the cold, calculating, but essentially good-hearted Woody), and even Fredo (Todd got that one for shooting Hillda in the back while playing paintball). I was going to law school, and was the smart, even-headed one of the bunch, so I was Tom - or Consiglieri. Sad thing is that no one online knows how to pronounce it.

SImple Design- Second song off of Breaking Benjamin's 2nd Album, We Are Not Alone. I was trying to decide what my gamertag should be when setting up my xbox with my computer doing a random play-all of my Windows Media Player library. I was just thinking "I really want something *simple*......" that song came on, it fit me perfectly! so here i am, SimpleDesign92.

DNS Error

The name comes from the when I first got XBL. I got XBL a little before Halo 2 came out and I set everything up, but I kept getting a DNS Error everytime I tried to signup. I called Xbox support and they couldn't help me and this went on for about a week. Then finally it just worked one day like magic or something. When it came to the screen that you type in your gamertag, I sat thier and could not think of anything. Suddenly came to me, DNS Error! I later changed it to "FearNinja" when I joined a Halo clan, but later I changed back to DNS Error.
