EDIT: Voting is now closed. Stay tuned.


 
 
 
 

I'm not doing a poll because they can easily be extremely misleading. Countless researchers have proved that over the years. On with the show!
 
The community magazine needs a name (click here if you don't know what's going on). There are a few names that are kicking around and I would like to see which one is your favorite and least favorite from the list at the bottom. Please explain why you chose your favorite and least favorite when you post. Note that this little discussion will not absolutely determine which name will be used, it is more of a guideline.
 

Potential Names (not in any particular order)

Stage One
Snake Snake Snake  (if you don't know about this, I cannot help you)
GB Monthly
Luchazine 
The Luchazine
Luchazine Monthly
Gamers Gaming with Games and Gamer Chicks. Gamers. (just kidding!) 
Blowing Up
Tiny Explosion

Most Fav: Blowing Up - Refers to the site and has a nice ring to it. 
Least Fav: Stage One - Sounds way too generic.

  • Blowing Up 
  • Luchazine Quarterly 
  • Luchazine Times 
  • Luchazine Herald 
 
*edit* 
Stage One would be my least favorite.  There is no relation to the website/community from the name, and it's far too generic a title to be remembered (imo). 
Blowing up is my 2nd favorite. 
Luchazine Quarterly/Times/Herald is my leader.  Luchazine obviously because it relates to our mascot, and I chose the 3 subnames due to their classy and historical context in relation to the magazines and such.  Monthly just seemed a bit too much like a stock broker report or some such.

I should not need to explain why I chose Snake Snake Snake.  It should be obvious why it is the only option.

@iAmJohn:  Was referring to people listing name ideas. I'll make an exception for SSS since that is folklore/legend at this point.

@GoranP:
No Bombination? Though I guess that would be too close to 'abomination', probably not the impression we want to go for. 
 
I really like Luchazine though. Luchadeer has been feeling scarse to me of late. 
 
If there's a music section though, can you please call it Bomb Bard? There needs to be more puns. MORE PUNS DAMMIT!

Blowing Up and The Luchazine sounds awesome.

Ummm something like Impact Crater, Blast Zone, or Blast Radius.  Something like a bomb has gone off would make sense considering the site.

The idea of Luchadeer may not make sense to some people.  Blowing Up seems pretty good.

It's a tie between GB Monthly and Tiny Explosion, because they are both descriptive and to the point.

Snake Snake Snake should be it, but Luchazine an any other Luchazine related names are good too! 
 
Why Snakex3? It sounds awesome. 
But Luchazine... man... i don't know, it feels right. 
 
Someone else suggested "The Fuse" once, which is cool because, hey, more bomb related names

Why don't we need a Magazine, I think it would be good, a sort of Spotlight but more fleshed out,

Favourite: The Luchazine. Clearly relates to the site, and it seems like everyone loves it.  
 
Also it wouldn't make sense to use Luchazine Monthly, or the Luchazine Times, since-I'm assuming- Luchazine is a combination of Luchadeer and Magazine. So it wouldn't make sense to say "The __magazine monthly" I hope that made sense. :)

I thought, apart from the list, maybe Explosion Monthly might be nice. 
 
Out of the list, I like The Luchazine, just because it sounds cool. 
 
I don't like Tiny Explosion, because it doesn't give the feeling from a GB Magazine that I'd want it to give.

Well I know that, how does that relate to a magazine? 
 
 
Or should I just accept it at face value,

The Giant Bomb Cosmopolitan and the first issue should include articles like "I THINK MY PARTNER IS CHEATING ON ME WITH ANOTHER CONSOLE, WHAT SHOULD I DO?" and "HOW TO LOOK YOUR BEST WHEN GAMING". Mmmm....

I'd vote, but personally I think the name should come LAST in any kind of production.

I'm a bit bummed personally that my idea for "The Fuse" isn't in the running at all. 
 
but, out of the list, The Luchazine seems the most suitable for the site.
