I have a question... when we were throwing around names, it seemed like computicide was really popular. Why didn't we go for that? Or do you guys think it was too complex a name? Something easy for people to misspell?
Not that Overwritten is bad. It rox0r.
I registered www.pugnate.com with my cousin's webhosting company, and the package he gave at cost (so cool of him) actually offers two more domain names. So I am trying to come with two names to register. One is for my business -- leather etc. And the other I want to be something cool... a place I can store my old reviews and shit.
So whose idea was computicide? (Sounds like something so diabolical, that only Que could come up with it)...
Just wondering if that is going to be too difficult for most people to spell?
edit:
I am paying $40 a year for the following:
Info Disk Space 15000 MB
Info Monthly Traffic 300 GB
How good is that? I don't have experience with website stuff and stuff.
edit:
Looks like it was Cobra's idea. I should have known.
edit 2:
I could always regiter All Out Games for the memories. Though any search on google for it just seems to link it to homomojo.com

From the discussion on TME:
www.compucide.com or www.computicide.com
www.damwrite.org
www.genericgamesite.com
www.deathandSyntax.com (every other idea from Que had the word “Death” In it.)
Cool name that was taken:
www.pixeldust.com
However www.pixeldusting.com is OK, but it doesn’t sound that great.
Suggestions?

www.superhappyfunsite.com

www.player1start.com
www.wetlesbians.com is gone, but surprisingly, www.drylesbians.com is still available.

LOL @ januaryfistingspike.com
player1start.com is pretty good. Not all that relevant for modern games, but it would make a good old-school site.
-
www.stabpugwithacarrot.com
I see your focus shifted from robot stabbing to pug stabbing!
-
How is that not taken?!
www.beerandboobs.com
Because you got the order wrong. Although, I have to say that wasn't what I was expecting.
http://www.boobsandbeer.com/

It's pretty much what I was expecting. Especially with all the procrastination. They have product testing to do man.
-
www.spacetojump.com
www.mousestick.com
www.mouseversusstick.com
I can't think right now..
-

Haha, that's great. But really, why can't they just work together? Those two were made for each other.

How about www.sofakinggamer.com ???
-
How about www.sofakinggamer.com ???
nice.
-
lol it would make for some interesting logos. How about gamestribunal.com or gametribunal.com?
Both are free.
howmuchwoodwouldawoodchuckchuckifawoodchuckwouldchuckwood.com
Surprisingly, that's free as well.
-
Well guys. I've settled on www.mouseandstick.com
Any thoughts? I'll probably register it in 24 hours if you guys don't think it totally sucks.
-
I think it totally sucks
-
haha seriously?
-
Seems kind of odd. You don't play with a "mouse and stick".
-
mouseorstick.com ?
edit: No that's worse.
Basically mouseandstick was suppose to mean coverage of computer and console games? Someone suggested mouseandpad, but then that sounds like mousepad.
-
If you're going that route, how about mousewads.com? I get the Roadrunner "sorry!" screen when I try it. "WADS" is another way to enumerate the typical FPS keys.
-
That's not bad, but I was trying to come up with something more console and PC rather than just PC.
-
Gamecide?
GameSide?
-
moustick.com?
-
IdolStick.com
-
haha seriously?
Yeah...it doesn't sound like the kind of link I would click on.
-
If you're going that route, how about mousewads.com? I get the Roadrunner "sorry!" screen when I try it. "WADS" is another way to enumerate the typical FPS keys.
I thought it was WASD?
But yeah Pug, don't register that domain. You can do better. How about.....www.fragordie.com
-
Mouseandstick sounds.. sexual. Like, maybe I am just dirty(and I certainly am), or maybe I just have been tricked into clicking too many porn sites by all of my friends (and I certainly have), but it just sounds off.
I like www.player1start.com
-
I think you're trying too hard, to be honest. www.pugnatious.com and be done with it!
-
I thought it was WASD?
"WADS" is another way to enumerate the typical FPS keys.
-
I think technically WASD is more "correct". WADs call to mind the old Doom file standard.
-
Yeah it's definitely WASD. Or at least that's what I've always heard it called.

I don't want the website name to associate with my online persona. You are right, I am making this harder than it should be. I just want a simple, unpretentious name. :)
moustick.com?
Or stickmouse.com haha this is hopeless.

I like www.player1start.com
I like it as well, but I think Beo wants to register it. Besides it is a touch retro. I want something simple like it though.
I liked gametribunal.com but it sounds too serious and sorta pretentious. HI I KNOW TEH EVERYTHING!
armchaircritics? but then it sounds like another furniture place :P

Yea for some reason wads sounds dirty to me. I am not sure why.

Well he was what was once a man.

Guybrush: If I gave you your arm back, what would you do with it?
Murray: I'd terrorize the South Seas! I'd torture the living! I'd demolish the... er... What I meant to say was, I'd use it to pet kittens.
Guybrush: Nope. You blew it.
Murray: Drat.
-
Guybrush Threepwood: Do you know anything about lifting curses?
Murray: Oh, right. I know a lot about lifting curses. That's why I'm a disembodied talking skull sitting on top of a spike in the middle of a swamp.
Guybrush Threepwood: You seem bitter.
Murray: I'm sorry. It's been a rough day.
Ahhh...good stuff.
-
It isn't that funny, but for some reason I still find it to be hilarious. Those were some great games with plenty of heart. I should start on Psychonauts.
-
Going from the other thread, www.themindpeel.com is available. Idol's suggestion. What do you guys think? Too many words?
Also what about www.gametribunal.com ?? It is available. I like it, but it is a bit too long and serious sounding.
-
www.MysterDlovesSTEAM.com
-
www.GhandilovesStarForce.com
EDIT:
www.killtheslanteyedbastards.com
Dude, that site exists already... (http://www.ea.com/crysis/)
-
Yeah it's definitely WASD. Or at least that's what I've always heard it called.
:o
I feel like I've stepped into the twilight zone, or one of those dreams where you run in slow motion and get nowhere. OK, jokes aren't funny after they're explained, but if they were never funny or understood to begin with, who cares.
I UNDERSTAND that WASD is the typical term. I used a DIFFERENT way of spelling out the FPS keys to make up a word for a site name, because WASD is in no way a natural letter progression in English. I thought of "mousewads" as a play on words, an anagram of sorts, which fit in with the names that were being tossed out at the time.
That is all.
-
www.ilovecobra.com
That was from D. Stop staring.

Maybe I wasn't being clear before. We don't take kindly to you people around these parts...
Bottom line: use WASD. Or else...

haha, nice shot.

haha, nice shot.
You know, I'm really surprised the politically correct media ain't had a real field deal w/ Crysis and calling it "racist," after the media went after:
--GTA: Vice City for the "Haitian gang killing" missions
--Res Evil 4 had lots of Mexican zombies as enemies to take on
--Res Evil 5 will have lots of blacks as zombies to take on
--Uncharted has a lot of black enemies to kill (as Yahtzee points out in his review)
-
D, welcome to the community forum. The gaming form can be found elsewhere.

mind peel... why does that sound so familiar?
on a side note, www.mindpeel.com is for sale for the low low price of $1250...
-
Idol suggested mindpeel.net back on TME.
-
http://www.fluffygamepad.com/ (http://www.fluffygamepad.com/) seems free.
-
www.sweetjesus.com
You can sell Jesus cookies.
-
How could you get my hopes up? That's taken.
jesuslovesgamers.com is free though.
-
It says its for sale. But I think that I'm going to buy it. I've got good cooks in my mom & sisters and a financial adviser in my brother. This thing is goin down. Sweet Jesus Sweets are comin soon!
Also, how about- www.jesusplaysgames.com
-
So vote, so I can move on with my life and stop annoying you guys. Oh and all of those are free. If you have a better suggestion, post it.
-
Frankly, I don't like any of them all that much except for PixelNut, but that sounds more like a graphics/art site than a game site.
-
You are correct. I can't find any better options unfortunately. I'll stop the poll till I find something better.
-
pugnateshouseofgamesandwaffles.com
Or just gamesandwaffles.com
-
:(
-
Seriously, no better way to identify yourself than your name. Just go with that. It isn't like you're building the next great web portal with hundreds of links and articles, right? It's just a place for you to call home. Don't overthink it. Just pick something you happen to like personally and be done with it.
-
As some inspiration, one of the PC gaming blogs I visit is called Rock, Paper, Shotgun.
-
Yeah, when I see Pixelnut, I think photoshop.
Speaking of which; best tutorials ever (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_X5uR7VC4M)
-
i voted for pixelnut, but that was before i saw idol's suggestion of dpadwarriors.com. i think that's easily the best suggestion so far - possibly a bit too consoley for you though, pug.
-
www.cointoplay.com
www.coinagame.com
-
www.player1start.com
-
Out of those, I went with pixelnut.
-
Speaking of which; best tutorials ever (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_X5uR7VC4M)
Yeah those are great, and I've actually learned a thing or two.
I voted pixelnut, although I agree with shock that player1start is the best choice, albeit a little retro.
-
I voted pixelnut but I like pixelhunt better.
You should do what que was saying and pull an amazon. Just call it a nice one-word simple thing; don't make it generic game site number one million. Think of the sites you go to regularly, how many of those describe themselves in the name? If you say a lot then it's clear the trend has to change. If you say not many, stick with that winning formula.
Also, idol's www.gamesandwaffles.com is awesome.
-
hmmm. I like pixelhunt a lot actually.
-
That's actually pretty good. Old school PC adventure game stuff.
-
pixelnut.com is awesome!
-
I like pixelnut because it is simple, but it doesn't say gaming...
www.player1start.com is nice, but could be mistaken' for www.playeronestart.com
Plus a logo for it would be P1S, which may sound like PS1... OK maybe I am looking at this too deeply.
Anyway I'll try to come up with other simple one word stuff.
Hey what does Kotaku mean?
edit:
pixel hunt was taken
-
Meaning of Name
As stated in an early FAQ in Kotaku's archives: "Otaku is a Japanese word meaning unhealthily obsessed. In Japan, otaku are further sub-classed into being creepy crazy for either video games, anime, manga, or idol singers. In the U.S. it's been mostly associated with fans of anime and manga. We are told that using "ko-" at the beginning of the word instead of "o-" adds an additional connotation of small, but Matt is 5"10", which in Japan is lavishly vertical. So you see, it all makes sense.
-
How about www.homomojo.com
Oh, wait. That's taken.
-
oooh.
take www.alloutgames.com
that'd be fun

Oh, and here I was thinking it translated into "blog spam". I guess that would be a little too descriptive though.
-
You so clever GPW.
Ren, I'd take it for sentimental reasons, but any search for that website results in hits in the gay community.
-
You should register it just in case we all decide to turn gay. Then we would have a loyal following from the start.
-
It may be useful in case you and Wetta want to "sex up" each other like the good ole' days.
-
That's true. We haven't talked in probably a decade but the awkward tension still exists. True love never dies.
-
Found something cool:
http://www.makewords.com
You can enter random words and it suggests dozens of domain name. Cool thing is that it tells you what is available at the same time. Some random stuff, plus stuff suggested by the website:
www.pixelogre.com
www.gamenose.com
www.gametism.com
www.pixelsages.com
www.gamewrite.com
www.mousedpad.com
www.proslouch.com (Professional gaming enthusiasts :P)
-
haha, I like proslouch.
-
Better than pixelnut and gametribunal?
