Need a Name

[FatherMalkav]

I recently finished a documentary on gaming, focusing mainly on Dungeons & Dragons and old World of Darkness for my Video Production class. Well, my professor came up to me today and requested my permission it enter it in a local media festival. Here's the issue; I haven’t named the piece yet and I have no ideas. The film focuses mostly on the people who play, not the games the selves, and pits out that despite many myths ad misconceptions, we are normal, everyday people (during the credit roll there are interviews with all the players, saying their name, their character and some 'normal' fact about themselves.

Sorry about the rant, anyone good with catchy names and care to help?

Let's See:

The Not-So-Secret Lives of Gamers
Pizza and Mountain Dew
Weekend Heroes


That's all my frazzled brain has at the moment. Let us know what you end up going with and where we might be able to see the film!

[Mr. Friendly]

Tacos: The Movie Part III - Count Chocula's Revenge

Blue Harvest

Pun-Pun

The (name of adventuring party or your name) Project

[SamTheCleric]

Where's the Mountain Dew?
I attack the darkness!

And for a classier title...

If the whole world's a stage... these are your actors.

[FatherMalkav]

AKA_Bait: I like Pizza and Mountain Dew & Weekend Heroes
SamTheCleric: If the whole world's a stage... these are your actors.

I'd use the "I attack the Darkness" but I don’t think the crowd would quite get the joke, a funny side note though is that my D&D group has had to use that tactic on at least fur occasions.

It main issue about naming it after the D&D troupe is that it shows footage of a D&D game as well as a Werewolf: The Wyld West game.


Shameless Plug - Would anyone care to see it (about 4:30 long) if I can get it online?

[Kizara]

Yes. I would, and I imagine quite a few others. Just use YouTube.

[Dwarkanath]

Paper Warriors

Whim of Dice

Death by Die

How I Roll

Ye Olde Pirate and Ninja Spectacular Extraordinaire (okay, maybe not)

Shameless Plug - Would anyone care to see it (about 4:30 long) if I can get it online?

Yes, I would totally watch it. I'm quite curious.

[Duke of URL]

"Knights Of The Die"

"Pen, Paper, and Perils"

[LongVin]

"Your character dies."
"Rocks fall. Everybody dies."

[SamTheCleric]

... Why I didn't think of this earlier...

"Roll for Initiative!"

[whateverness]

Probably not, but...

"Gaming 'r' us"

or maybe...

"Saturday Night Fight"
Yay my third post! :smallsmile:

[FatherMalkav]

SamTheCleric:"Roll for Initiative!" = awsome, but i don't think the target audiece would quite get it.

Dukeof URL: "Pen, Paper, and Perils" is another good one.


I'm going to take the film home in the next hour or so and upload it there. I'm hoping the thread stays alive until then

[valadil]

You can borrow the name my freshman english prof suggested for my paper on LARPing: Role Play or Real Play. Yeah, it's kinda cheesy, but whatever.

Roleplaying - It's not just for the bedroom anymore.

Nerds at play - Know thy enemy

Geeks and grownups - Separated at birth? You decide.

I attack the dorkness!

Humans, Halfings, and Dwarves Oh My!

Embracing Abstinence - How a simple game will keep you free from STDs for ever!

-- addendum --

Guys Gone Mild IV - Spring Break, Basement Style

[playswithfire]

The Die is Cast

5% Chance of Greatness

I'll try to think of more

[FatherMalkav]

Great! Keep them coming. The video is uploading onto YouTube now, so it'll just be a few minutes before I have a link for you.

Here you go. Audio is a little buggy, sorry about that I was unaware until it was uploaded.

[Lupy]

Basement Battles: The truth about Roleplayers

[Thiel]

Nice.
I noticed that the last part of the credits are missing.
It says "Figures copyrighted to Wizards of the".

Since I can't actually make out what is being said, I cannot give any critique.

I find this most dissapointing, as I was curious.

[GrassyGnoll]

This is how I roll: A d20 story

[mabriss lethe]

Maybe something like...

"The High Rollers."

"The Whim of the GM"

Or to go old school....

"What the Hell is THACO?"

[Icewalker]

Yeah, the volume is too low on the youtube video. :smallfrown:

[AKA_Bait]

Yeah, you probably should up the narration volume. I watched the first half of it with the youtube volume and my speaker volume at max and I still couldn't make out more than one out of every 10 words.

[streakster]

I'd go with "Attacking the Darkness." If you don't know what is means, it sounds vaguely heroic. If you do know what it means, it's hilarious.

[Staven]

"Dramatic Failure."

"Natural 20."

"Where Jack Chick was Wrong: an Inside Look at the Caffeine Fueled Mess that is Modern Gaming."

"The Berber Carpet."

"Dummies for Dummies: Teenage Gaming and Stereotypes."

"Magic Missile."

To name a few.

[Rigon]

"Of Dice and Men"

"...but IRL still Human"

[InfiniteMiller]

Incidentally, I'm making a Powerpoint presentation for a computing class that is supposed to pitch a hobby group to the college for funding. Not an actual group, but the assignment is supposed to be a proposal of sorts.

The title I've chosen for the presentation is "Attacking the Darkness".

[FatherMalkav]

Sorry about the volume, tomorrow I'll try to tweak it and upload a finished copy of the film.

Thiel: Thanks for pointing that out, I'll be sure to double check it in the final draft.
