View Full Version : Suggest a Forum Name
Taluntain Sat, 16th Aug '08, 6:06pm 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!
Nakia Sat, 16th Aug '08, 6:44pm Gems of Bioware and Obsidium. Not witty but a bit tongue-in-cheek.
Takara Sat, 16th Aug '08, 6:47pm Bioware is a bit Obsidian?
Nakia Sat, 16th Aug '08, 7:25pm 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.
Taluntain Sat, 16th Aug '08, 8:07pm We've already got forums for Fallout and TES...
Nakia Sun, 17th Aug '08, 8:27am 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
Takara Sun, 17th Aug '08, 10:08am Bioware lives with an Obsidian shadow?
Beren Sun, 17th Aug '08, 10:25am Biowarehouse in the Obisidian Mine.
Or if you're willing to make two forums,
Quarantine Zone - Biowares only
and then ...
The Obsidian Mine
Takara Sun, 17th Aug '08, 11:03am The Bioware and Obsidian Teacup ride?
When Bioware were making games, they discovered a huge amount of Obsidian glass
Merlanni Sun, 17th Aug '08, 11:59am Biobsidianware
Biodian
Legacy of Black isle
chevalier Sun, 17th Aug '08, 12:05pm BioWare Games and Sequels? :p
Nah, just kidding. I suppose you'll need a place name from Planescape: Torment or something like that.
Nakia Sun, 17th Aug '08, 12:23pm 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"
Taluntain Sun, 17th Aug '08, 3:42pm 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.
Nakia Sun, 17th Aug '08, 7:24pm 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.
Splunge Sun, 17th Aug '08, 8:53pm Bi-Sidian
Merlanni Sun, 17th Aug '08, 11:34pm Heirs of black Isle
Silvery Sun, 17th Aug '08, 11:38pm Bisidian, the forum that swings both ways
Morgoroth Sun, 17th Aug '08, 11:41pm 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?
T2Bruno Mon, 18th Aug '08, 3:07pm 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).
Montresor Mon, 18th Aug '08, 3:40pm BiObsidian Wares? :)
Seriously, the name should not be informative, not flippant. Tal's own suggestions would do fine.
Takara Mon, 18th Aug '08, 10:36pm BioWare and Obsidian, legacy of Back Isle?
Alura Mon, 18th Aug '08, 10:51pm 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'...
Takara Tue, 19th Aug '08, 4:34pm BioWare and Obsidian, RPG mechanics?
Taluntain Sun, 24th Aug '08, 12:47am 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.
