Xbox Live Gamertag Fun

Posted by

I hooked up one of my Xbox 360s last night, hoping to access all my games and whatnot from the exercise room. Turns out, that's not an easy task – as the second console tells me that I have to “recover” my gamertag in order to access my profile from that second machine, even though my first (primary) machine is completely off. *sigh* I must be doing something wrong – or the wording in the instructions is ambiguous. I don't want to delete the games from my original console – I just wanna re-download them and play them on this (second) Xbox 360. Am I missing a step? Does anybody know how to do what I want to do here?
Well, I got to the Xbox Live sign-in screen and it told me that my gamertag was already taken – then went ahead and offered a list of hilarious alternatives that had not yet been claimed (at least, as of this moment):

  • CubicEmperor
  • MindedPumpkin
  • SpooneyJungle
  • SchizoPython
  • VulviformTulip (?!)
  • EagerAphid
  • DeformedBread
  • StoicalSword
  • TeeniestSkate
  • Disorderlyimp
  • MolarScarab
  • QuotedGrain
  • ShadyKarma
  • DismalMango (?!)
  • TolemicThread
  • CherubicFob
  • CrashingSiren
  • StripiestOrc
  • MemorableFish
  • ColoringKey
  • ElbowedCashew (?!)
  • ThankedLawyer
  • SizzlingAsh
  • CrappyJoint
  • RosyLeader
  • CoolingSpark
  • AssertingSatyr
  • WaspyCobra

That's the most fun I've had with my Xbox in quite a while. Sad, but true. Go ahead and try it on your own Xbox 360 and tell me what you come up with. Too bad I already chose “l0ckergn0me” as my gamertag. Otherwise, VulviformTulip would be *SO* mine.
