My game review blog needs a new name...
« on: September 01, 2014, 11:24:11 pm »

It's currently called Gamer's Rant.  I'm aiming to be a bit more... professional.  But that sort of name kind of sucks for professionalism :X  And I kind of suck at coming up with names.  Here's a few I thought of:

Chippy's Fragments (Chippy is my other internet alias)
Spoilers!
Alpha Review, Meta Blog

For my reviews, I like to review the game then include a commentary about if the game improved on features from other games.  I basically judge the game if it added to gaming as a whole or took away from it.  Stuff like that.  Anyone else have any ideas?

The name's not the problem, one of my favourite review series is called WTF Is...? which doesn't sound professional in name but gets hundreds of thousands of views per episode on youtube and earns the author enough to live off.

The problem is that you only have 7 reviews on there in 3½ years. If you want to review games, review games.

Dwarven blood types are not A, B, AB, O but Ale, Wine, Beer, Rum, Whisky and so forth.
It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.

I like the name actually. It gives me a chuckle and makes me want to read the site (which I'm doing now)

I agree here. The name is fine, just get to churning out those reviews! Give yourself a few days, tops, to play a game, and then start writing.

Holy crap, why did I not start watching One Punch Man earlier? This is the best thing.
probably figured an autobiography wouldn't be interesting

I'd say "Gamer's Rant" is a professional enough name for a gaming blog :P

Rock, Paper, Shotgun.

Gaming is inherently giddy if you stay at all in the mainstream. I too find your current name to be as good as any I've come across.
