I set up a spreadsheet that has 2 columns in it. One column had cool adjectives in it like "Supreme" or "Golden." The other column had dorky nouns like "McNugget" or "Hobo."
Through the magic of Excel and some other chicanery, we get a selection from each column and voila! Your new gamertag is something ridiculous like "Commander Provolone."

I added another set of columns that reverses the pattern. Weirdo adjectives matched with cool nouns - examples include "Oblivious Titan" or "Soapy Minotaur."
The gamertag designer is powered by the stock market in a roundabout sorta way. The spreadsheet creates a random number and the only way I could make this thing work automatically was to tie the updating mechanism in with Google's automatic stock quote web lookup. As a result, new gamertags are generated automatically each time Google is able to update stock prices. It won't update with each new page view...
