Title: Quick help - complete
Post by: bosshogx on June 25, 2008, 02:20:39 PM
Hey guys,

As you may or may not know, some friends and I have a weekly web-comic.  The comic for next week is going to be an homage to the late, great George Carlin.  One of George's more popular acts was to entitled, "Seven words you can never say on television."  Our upcoming comic will play on that theme with a small twist.  The twist is where I need your help.

I'm looking for the "Seven words you can never say about the PS3/Xbox360/Wii"  That will end up being 7 words for each system and not 7 describing all three systems.  I've already come up with a list of words for each console and am looking for some extra input from outside sources.  If you guys want to help, just post up your words like so:

Wii - blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
360 - blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
PS3 - blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah

Make sure that they are single words only.  The words should also be negative in meaning.  I wouldn't use "Blu-Ray" as a PS3 word, because that is actually an advantage.  Now the word "Cost" or "Expensive" would be a good fit.  I'll be checking back on this until late Saturday.  Thanks to all who help out.

Wii:  I am a terrible poaster. , Waggle, FarCry
PS3:  Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiige-Racer, Giant, Enemy, Crab, Install

Oh, Install.  Very nice.

Try and avoid making sentences with your words though.  Trying to find a single word to sum up the "Giant enemy crab/strike weak spot for massive damage" thing has proven challenging.

Wii:  I am a terrible poaster.

Wow, does it really say that?  I thought NWR had cut that **** out.  I typed K-I-D-D-I-E.

I'm assuming friend codes isn't eligible for Wii.  That's a shame.

I was wondering what that meant.

ps3:  mortgage, rent, Haze, Lair, Killzone, sales, lies

I LOL'd at lies.

There has to be a way.  Just think it over a bit.

Since it's not that big of a deal, I'll go ahead and list the words I'm planning on using for the comic:

Wii: Graphics, Online, Waggle, Storage, Casual, Available, Developers
*Perhaps better wording for Storage (Lack of Hard Drive), Casual (Hardcore instead?), and Developers (3rd party support)

360: RRoD, Japan, HD-DVD, Wi-Fi, Service, Reliable, Microtransactions
*Not sold on Wi-Fi

PS3: Cost, Install, Tilt, Rumble, 1st-Party, Profit, Crabs
*Eliminate Tilt and/or Rumble maybe? Better wording for 1st Party? Eliminate it?

What do ya' think so far? I'm flexible on changing this list around to maximize humor.  Thanks again for the suggestions.

Sixaxis > Tilt / rumble

don't use sixaxis... just go with "palindrome"

Egad a base tone denotes a bad age.

I actually had to think about that for a second.  I'm thinking I'll stick with Sixaxis though.

But of course!  :P

I came up with a new one for the Wii list: Port.  I'm thinking I'll replace Developers with that one.  Also, the comic is getting delayed by two weeks now, so it won't show up until the second Monday of July (the 14th).  Stupid schedules.  At least I have more time to get this tweaked just right.

I had to close my eyes and hear Carlin in my head to get that quote.  Ironically enough, I nailed it on one try.  Either vulgarity rolls right off my brain or I was channeling some Carlin.

Haha good stuff, loved the line about PS3 owners working their second jobs.

IIRC, those were Kaz's words, not mine.  BTW, did you see that I gave you props on the front page?

Pretty sure they were Kutaragi's at the height of his madness. I didn't, thanks.
