Mr. Admirals is thanks to Camnator. He started calling me that when we played Halo Wars.

Halo 1 and 2 I was always Blaze. Then in Halo 3 i changed to Iron Man037, but it got old and i hate numbers in gamertags. So i merged the two together and voila, Blazed Iron.

Well it all started when poor old me got banned on one of my other accounts on Bnet. All my other accounts were banned too, so to keep posting I needed to make an alt. I guess I was playing TES during that time, cause Lifts Her Tail popped into my head. Well everyone liked the name and I liked it too, so I made it my main account/name that I use.

7th grade, my friend who got me into xbox had me make a bungie account because he ran a pretty successful group there. had no idea what my name should be so i texted him, and his cousin(who was p cute and i had a huge crush on back in the day) texted me back saying "JIVE TURKEY!", from semi pro i think.

i typed it out before the message even stopped flashing lol

A friend gave it to me way back when I decided to sign up on Bungie.net. Turned out to be very relevant over the years.

First day of Xbox Live, and I needed a gamertag. For whatever reason, I had lost all form of creativity in that singular moment, and so I looked around the room in the hopes of finding inspiration. That inspiration came in the form of the only two videogames I owned at the time, those being Halo 3, and a racing game named PURE. I decided upon the gamertag PURE HALO 35 (because 35 is apparently my favorite number).

Months later, Microsoft decided to ask me for my email address and password. However, I had absolutely no idea what those were. So, I simply paid for a new Gold account. This time, however, I let forth an unfathomable eruption of creativity and originality that would leave all those who witnessed its majesty paralyzed in sheer grace. My new gamertag was...

PURE HALO 95

Anyways.
I eventually realized that gamertags with all capital letters were stupid, and so I sought to form a cooler gamertag that people would be impressed with. My new gamertag was...

III P u r 3 III

Finally, after coming to the (desperately necessary) realization that my gamertag sounded like it was made by a Mountain Dew-chugging, Marijuana-smoking, Call of Duty kid who's had sex with everyone's mothers, I decided that another gamertag change was in order.

My final gamertag and online alias was born when I took the common denominator across all my past gamertags [Pure], and merged it with the audibly satisfying style of big name Halo players Dutchy and Walshy.
