Doctorpus M.D: Awful Character Names

[SpaceSpork]

For every man, woman, and child who's ever picked up a copy of Harry Potter or, heaven forbid, some actual literature.

Wow. So Harry Potter isn't real literature? That's amazing. I wouldn't have known that if you hadn't rudely pointed it out. What about the people who actually like Harry Potter? Jeez.

 

[Rawker]

Names earn there coolness through repitition. Take my name for example; Rawker. You might read it and pass it over with the casual "meh." but say 12 cool posts in a row and I could be famous. A perfect example of this is Fuburt. Everybody knows this guy. Why? because you see him as the first guy on every post. Repitition. It also works for evil names too. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the German government is paying families to name their kids Adolf. Adolf used to be a common name, like John, until repitition got ahold of it.

I never said anything negative about the books. Hell I love the first three but they're not literature. Neither is The Da Vinci Code, the Bourne Identity or anything Tom Clancy has ever touched.

Slab Bulkhead
Fridge Largemeat
Punt Speedchunk
Butch Deadlift
Bold Bigflank
Splint Chesthair
Flint Ironstag
Bolt Vanderhuge

While I apeciate the reference that isn't much of a post mate.

That would be 'association' rather than repetition but you're spot on mate.

A gold mine of really dumb names comes from my favorite, the Phoenix Wright series.
Frank Sahwit - First 'witness' in the game
Dick Gumshoe - Detective. Somewhat an airhead too
Larry Butz - Butt monkey of the series
April May - Seems likely she would appear on a calendar.
Wendy Oldbag - Old security lady

I missed these. By the way, where were you? I haven't seen you in a while. You were on my "2008 list of missing users".

I'm pretty sure that Bayonetta deserves a honorable mention. However, the whole game is weird.

I just decided to give myself a bit of a break from the forum. The longer I stay on a forum the more manic I get and eventually I start to break up a little around the seams. Also my girlfriend managed to knock my owl (and muse) behind the bookcase. I only just managed to get the poor fucker out. She says she didn't do it, but I know she's lying.

Ahem. Let me read off the definition.
1.writings in which expression and form, in connection with ideas of permanent and universal interest, are characteristic or essential features, as poetry, novels, history, biography, and essays.
2.the entire body of writings of a specific language, period, people, etc.: the literature of England.
3.the writings dealing with a particular subject: the literature of ornithology.
4.the profession of a writer or author.
5.literary work or production.
6.any kind of printed material, as circulars, leaflets, or handbills: literature describing company products.
7.Archaic. polite learning; literary culture; appreciation of letters and books.

There. I hope you reconsider calling any piece of writing "not literature".

Another definition of Literature is a piece of work with 'Literary merit' which is quite often defined by a group of people whom have made reading their career. By your literal and I'm afraid to say, pedantic, definition manuals for DVD players would be considered literature.
As another example. The word 'Art' has quite a broad definition as well including the rather mundane act of making marks on paper. There is however a clear enough distinction between 'art' and 'illustration' to require two seperate terms even though the former encompasses the latter.
There. I do hope you reconsider context before whipping out every possible definition of a word.
Now this is getting rather off topic so if you'd like to continue this exchange then I suggest you do so via PM.

Worst name in a game has to be ANY NPC in Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl.

[Levitas1234]

I think the stupidest name was giving Mario the last name Mario. Mario Mario, Luigi Mario. Thats just stupid.

Maybe it's an artful reference to Humbert Humbert.

I mean, no, it's not. But imagine if it was.

Man, Mario would be one fucked-up game then! I'd play it.

All this coming from a guy with the username of "Decoy Doctorpus". Shall I give you some mouthwash so that you can get the taste of foot out of your mouth.
