Ok so I was a huge fan of the giantbomb crew when they were at gamespot, followed them here, etc
Has anyone ever heard the story of how giantbomb.com came to be?
reason i ask is because im trying to start my own .com website to blog about my playthroughs, post some reviews, have discussions with friends, etc
because i dont have grand plans right now it would be easy to pick some silly stupid name and make it a .net or .us or something, but who knows, maybe i wil have so much fun with it and down the line my friends and i would like to actually generate real web traffic to it...
thats why i want to make it a .com and be somewhat serious about it. Problem is i swear EVERY name i could think of for a gaming website is taken. ive spent hours plugging in different names to make stuff work. even used tools like bustaname.com to mix words together, no luck
ive given up on the idea of having "game" or "gaming in the title, and then i look at this site... where did they get giantbomb? it doesnt automatically scream "gaming" but it just works... dont know why. its catchy
i need something like that
so i turn to you guys for help and inspiration. any tips on how to find a name? any good name ideas yourself that would sound ok/cool and might be available to use?
i never thought the most frustrating part would be getting the name... i dont know any html so im really anxious to start but once i start with a name everything rides off that, so i have to choose once and wisely
thank you!
