I've noticed a strange trend in computer game names. Any game that starts with "Dark" completely and utterly sucks!

Dark Age of Camelot
Dark Colony
Dark Earth
Dark Forces (Star Wars is crap)
Dark Reign

This really condones my general way of buying games based on the cover and title (The covers to all these also suck alot). It's late and I put this together, give me some credit! :P

I noticed that on Quellious there was a dominant "Truth" theme in many guild names.

Knights of Truth
Swords of Truth
Hammers of Truth
Harbringers of Truth

And so on...

Some guild names can get so intensely lame you scream. But then, you got really nifty ones like "Brotherhood of the Moo".

THERE was a great guild.

We had some good guild names on Bristlebane. Not very many... but some.

"Ill Tempered Sea Bass" is the only one that comes to mind right now...

I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

we have a guild called (and I am totally serious about these) "What" and "Avatars of Disco" (although the latter is just to make fun of our super uber guild that gets Discord shortened to Disco when you inspect them...)

I don't like Star Wars, but Dark Forces owned.
You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory.

Pffft, Dark is a great start for a name, its just really tough to be able to live up to it, and most games just are not uber enough to handle it =)

I remember a big blow up once regarding guilds. The guild in question? The Wrath of Spoolie Gee. Guild name was rejected because it had the name of an NPC in it.


holy hell was raised at that point as to why all the <insert fantasy noun> of <insert deity> clans got away with it.

In peace, nothing so becomes a man as modesty and humility, but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with rage and lend the eye a terrible aspect.

On Mith Marr there were "The Tree Huggers of Norrath" and my guild, which doesn't have a funny name, but it's still the R()><()R "Knights of the Myst."

The guild I'm in is called the Universal Brotherhood.

It's kinda depressing how few people get the joke. Not many ShadowRun fans out there, I guess.

I believe in the existance of magic, not because I have seen proof of its existance, but because I refuse to live in a world where it does not exist.
