Xbox Live gamertag change.

Since I allowed my XBL subscription to lapse last year (I didn’t have broadband for more than half my vicarage year), I have had to change my Gamertag, which makes me only slightly upset.
I have lost my normal online nick, whether it has been taken by someone else, or locked because I failed to pay [...]

I have played what is perhaps the most purely joyful video game ever created, and I must continue to play this game, or my life will become much more sad and lonely, and I will not feel like quite the same person. It’s almost like I would feel like less of a man if [...]

At registration.
