Every so often, we like to pick on - I mean - we like to showcase our Chix, so that you can get to know them better. Our newest victim is xSHADOWx!
PopChix: What's the story behind your in-game name?
xSHADOWx: I was originally tigerlillie85 which was my nickname from work, but after getting unwanted attention from a few Crazies on xbox I changed my name to MISSxSHADOW. I chose the name shadow because thats what I was trying to achieve, I was trying to hide in the shadows and not be contacted by this certain nut job, but I was traced through leaderboards (I guess thats what happens when your rank 50th in the world on a particular game!) I then realised changing my name isn't going to stop the situation happening again, it's just lining Microsoft's pockets everytime I change my name!
