Gaming Phrases

[teknoarcanist]

So I'm working on a gaming-related film script and I'm trying to decide on a title. Ideally, this would be some short, brief, vague phrase, instantly recognizable to gamers, and not completely alienating to those who aren't.

Examples: "Game Over" (too easy) or "Save&Quit"

Ideas?

Hmmm...(searches database)

Reset
Hard Reset
Respawn
Poison Mushroom
Dead Pixel
REd Ring
Red Ring of Death
RomHack
Goto 10

Um.

Blow Really Hard Into Cartridge To See If That Helps.

Sorry about that last one. Tired. :/

I like Hard Reset for some reason. And I actually use the phrase 'dead pixel' in the script ^^

"Un-Noob"
that's my title entry. lol

 

[Dark Knifer]

I quite like respawn. It would make gamers happy and would appeal to the non gamers.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Frag

Drop-shot

*There's a problem with the disc you are using. It may be dirty or damaged.*

I used to see that phrase a lot before I stopped buying used games.

RAGEQUIT, and douche salad

 

[ParadoxBG]

RAGEQUIT, and douche salad

Okay, I REALLY like that one. Um. Ragequit, not douche salad.

 

[havass]

AltF4.
Error.
Blue Screen Of Death.
Reload From Last Saved Checkpoint.

lol.

 

[Vanguard_Ex]

BOOM HEADSHOT

YES, I got it first :')

 

[odBilal]

Continue?

 

[Zhandarr]

The Yellow Light of Death

 

[jesse.]

RAGEQUIT, and douche salad

Okay, I REALLY like that one. Um. Ragequit, not douche salad.

hahaha don't blame you it tastes horrible

Trouble Shooting is good; sounds like the title to a short story. Error is nice and cryptic; I can see it in big red block letters on the poster.

ERROR

'I Am Error' is so unwieldy and awkward it almost works, in a bizarre way. Sort of like 'We Are The Strange' or 'You, the Living'.

Head-shot is now officially a snappy one-liner. Scratch that; they'll be the silent protagonist's first words, after he gains the ability to speak.

What do we think of 'DeBug', or 'NewGame+'?

Keep 'em coming guys ^^

Owned.

[or "pwned", but there's debate on how that's said correctly.]

 

[Jamienra]

Cake = lie
AYBABTU

lol, my sister heard me say this while i was on MW2. Her face was comical because she just stared at me in confusion thinking i was insane.

What i said was: "Start penatrating through the walls, that camper will get raped in his own noobness."
