Top 25 pop-u-lar Xbox gamertags

Microsoft's Trixie (Christa Phillips) released a list of the top 25 Xbox Live gamertags in 2007 over the weekend. The list is compiled "anytime the gamercard or profile is called up," with more "hits" resulting in a higher placement. Topping the list is obviously none other than Major Nelson, known in real life as the vowel-deficient Larry Hryb, Xbox Live's director of programming, the guru and go-to man for Xbox related issues and announcements -- especially when things go horribly wrong with the service.

We're not exactly sure who a lot of the people on the list are (which can also be found after the break with an appropriate video clip), but Ms. Trixie comes in at number three behind other Microsoft personality Eric "e" Neustadter. Xbox Live "cheater" Gilbert Arenas bounced in at number six, while Call of Duty 4 and Halo 3 developers made eight and nine respectively. Also, former X3F writer David "Knuckles Dawson" Dreger made number 19. Now, let's see if you all can fill in the rest of the names behind the gamertags.

Aww, you guys love me, you really love me.

KAPOW!!

Test to close Knuckle's runaway italics tag.

Interesting, it's gone, as well as his embedded image. I guess Knuckles chose not to abuse his godlike blogger powers.

Remember kiddies, HTML first thing Monday morning is never a good idea.

Why did you leave, Knuckles? I had no idea you left honestly.

before all the gay comments start

Wicked is amazing and the cast is insanely talented and i say cutos to putting it up!

Yep, the cast is insanely talented. Don't really care who wants to start flaming and calling names, it doesn't change the fact that the original broadway cast for Wicked made one of the most memorable shows and enjoyable albums EVAR.

gay...

wicked is fine by me
but be warned joystiq crew if you mention rent you'll get an internet up your ass

Musical Theater is neither music, nor theater. Discuss!

Big props for the Wicked reference comeback!

I can't believe I watched that entire youtube video O.

another person with fruit fucker as their icon!
well then.

Hmmm randomshagz not on the list.

Tags that didn't quite make the list

Mine stands at a solid 2579 and 1/8th on the list. Kudos to me for having a crappy tag ;)

( sirowndalot FTW!!!!! )

How do you find out what number you are?
I'm probably like number 3,475,012.

souljaboytellem is on the list? THAT is sad...

Man...is that because someone cool is that gamertag or just because everyone wants to Superman that hoe?

Knuckles broke the comments. Always close your italic tag, folks.

ditto That better?

Never mind, they fixed it.

If only I could get Trogdor to burninate that post.

Gamespotting is Jeff Gerstmann formerly of Gamespot. Slightly unsuitable now, though Ill doubt he would be willing to change it and give up all those hard earned gamer points.
