    I'm currently writing a tetris game and would like to give it a catchy name.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?
     
  2. I have lots of ideas, but none that I'm willing to make suggestions with... [​IMG]
     
  3. and i strongly suggest you to not publicly discuss such domain names (this is what you are after, arent you? a name for a tetris game+a free domain with that name?) because they are gone faster than you can think.


    i recently lost a nice domainname to one of those domainparking guys. they just buy tons of domains to just present a stupid default advertisement site, badly "tarned" as a search / portal site. but the thing is - they still make a lot of money with those sites. so they still grab all they can get, even the most special domainnames. its a hilarious business. lets hope that soon either domainname fees raise or that the broad internet community gets educated and does NOT klick any ads anymore on such sites. here is a nice example of such a site:


    http://www.cubeshock.com . now this site will sit for at least the next few years as a wasteland in the hands of www.godaddy.com, just parked for nothing. just a shame, just a waste of another domainname. will be there any, catchy free names left in 1-3 years? today i woke up and found out that www.parallelise.com was free - a seemingly fine name for a website dedicated to parallel programming. until i realiZed, that it is "parallelize" in english... and guess what? well, look for yourtself:

    http://www.parallelize.com

    holy shit. i would now even agree with increasing domain costs to up to 10 euro / month. just to stop this hilarious business of domainparking. but hey - 10 euro? for some richer persons even that is no barrier. but at least such a price tag would ruin their long run profits, because i really cannot imagine that you can get so much ad clicks to compensate that.
     

  4. We say "realise" in England. The "z" is only Americanised English.

    I wouldn't have thought that Parallelise/Parallelize was even a word anyway, so I wouldn't think it's spelling would make too much of a difference.
     
  5. Kind of like how English people UKized the word barbecue into bar-b-que?
     
  6. No.
     
  7. boo.

  10. I assume it's pronounced "Foxyness"?
     
  11. How about Abstinencetris?
     
  12. tet lith
     
  13. Prohibition or Moonshine?

    Compare "one of four blocks" to Phoxinus phoxinus.
