me: hey xbox live, can i change my gamertag?
xbox live: of course, that'll be 800 ms points.
me: ... what, srsly?
xbox live: sure!
me: fine, i'll just create a new profile using the gamertag i wanted. no limit on silver accounts.
xbox live: 'ultra laser' is taken. other people have also seen hackers. it's been out for kind of a while.
me: i can hope. i got the tumblr after all.
xbox live: there's probably more people playing slayer than tumbling at this point.
me: probably.
xbox live: you could add some numbers.
me: or i could just add 'Junior' to the end. what about 'lambent brumak'?
xbox live: other people have beaten gears 2 already as well.
me: nuts, now i can't remember anything clever. all your suggestions are crap, by the way. hrrm. i wonder if 'adama bomb' is taken.
xbox live: nope! that one's all yours!
me: wait, i didn't actually...
xbox live: forever!
me: i can't change my mind after checking if it's available?
xbox live: why would you want to do that? i mean, i guess you could power-cycle your system and start over.
me: thanks. that's very helpful.
xbox live: you can change your gamertag for 800 ms points.
me: you're being kind of a dick, xbox live.
xbox live: send us a message from a gold account and maybe we'll care.
