Speaking of which; best tutorials ever

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.

That's actually pretty good.  Old school PC adventure game stuff.

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.

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)
