I'm going to make a new forum for games made by BioWare and Obsidian that we don't already have specific forums for, but I'm a bit short on clever names for it. To make it clear what the forum is about the forum name would almost certainly need to have both company names in it, which makes it a bit hard to come up with something witty or original.

However, if YOU can, post it here!

Gems of Bioware and Obsidium. Not witty but a bit tongue-in-cheek.

Bioware is a bit Obsidian?

Bioware is a bit Obsidian?

:lol: I like that one.

If Tal was doing a forum for Bethesda Software I could come up with a few goodies but he probably censor them.

We've already got forums for Fallout and TES...

True and a bit of sanity in an insane world.

Not many takers for suggesting a title so I'll try again.

How about: Tales from an Obsidium Bioware?

or
Biowaree Playtime at Obsidian

or Bioware plays Obsidium. Better yet -- Play Obsidium Bioware. POB for short.

Bioware Gameway to Obsidium.

Come on folks one of those must give you a better idea. :p

Bioware lives with an Obsidian shadow?

Biowarehouse in the Obisidian Mine.

Or if you're willing to make two forums,

Quarantine Zone - Biowares only

and then ...

The Obsidian Mine

The Bioware and Obsidian Teacup ride?

When Bioware were making games, they discovered a huge amount of Obsidian glass

BioWare Games and Sequels? :p

Nah, just kidding. I suppose you'll need a place name from Planescape: Torment or something like that.

Ah, I like "Legacy of Black Isle" but Tal said he wanted both names mentioned.

um...Bioware-Obsidium, Legacy of Black Isle...or is that too long?

Combine "Biodian, Legacy of Black Isle"

Actually, I like Legacy of Black Isle... but it tends to feel more like a backwards-looking forum which is not what I'm trying to achieve.

I think that BioWare|Obsidian might be good. BioWare had the same issue when then joined with Pandemic and they came up with BioWare|Pandemic.

In our case, (The Realm of) BioWare|Obsidian or BioWare + Obsidian might work.

Muy:2c: ... again (Are you really glad I'm back, Tal? :D)

Bioware|Obsidium tells who but isn't catchy

The Realm of Bioware|Obsidium is better IMO.

I allways thought that The Gathering Dust would have been a better name for the resting place. But then I'd like to see all forums be named after Planescape torment. :p

As for this one I have no idea. A bit difficult when there's two of them. The Festhall for Bioware and Obsidian?

OB-GYN Obsidian Bioware -- Generic Yahoo Nonsense

Here the definition of yahoo that of from Gulliver's Travels meaning basically degraded creatures (hence the insults you're a bunch of yahoo's).

BiObsidian Wares? :)

Seriously, the name should not be informative, not flippant. Tal's own suggestions would do fine.

BioWare and Obsidian, legacy of Back Isle?

It's really difficult to think of a name for this. And the fact that it has to have two names in it makes it even more tedious to think about.

All I can think of is 'BO', but that will probably just make everyone want to take a shower and it doesn't even have the names fully spelled out. So I guess that's a definete no...

*takes shower*

Just suggesting my idea made me feel unclean. :P

Still can't think of anything besides that unfortunately.

P.S. I kinda like 'BioWare is a bit Obsidian'. But I'm thinking that at this rate, we'll be stuck with simply 'The BioWare and Obsidian Forum'...

The new forum is now open and accessible at http://www.sorcerers.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=57

Thanks for all the ideas folks, even though I wound up with a rather common but hopefully informative name.
