I think my favorites are MotivatedGibbon and IrateCheese. Still, you really can't go wrong with any of them (or, rather, you can't help but go terribly wrong with all of them). And yes, UntenableSwine is a great insult.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

So is IrateCheese

Irate Cheese FTW!

Man, I'm glad I got my name early...

I ended up going, predictably, with PixKristin. I was very tempted, though.

Btw, Pete, do you know how I can merge my gamer data from before I had a live account with this new gamertag?

So, all this ass kicking work is going to earn me enough money to get a platform. I'd love to get an Xbox, since so many of us have xboxes and play a lot of fun games with them, but I also want a Blu ray player, so it's probably going to be a PS3.

At least we'll be able to do some left 4 dead hopefully.

You could have my old XBox if you want it, Sean, but I suspect you'd prefer a 360, right? If you do end up getting a PS3 and would also like an original XBox, you're welcome to it.

Why won't the wii play DVDs? We're going to have to get a device to switch back and forth if we want to play DVDs in the living room again. So lame.

Kristin, I don't think you can merge the data. The 360 sees the profiles as effectively two people.

It might have been better to have upgraded your own profile to a full Live account and just changed the name to one that was available on Live. If that was possible.

Starting a new profile pretty much precludes being able to use your previous profile's data.

ND has just informed me that that's exactly what he did, so it's not an issue. Yay him!
