I just wanted to be the first one to say it

Edit: Eh, it's not that bad, better than Wii. Yay team!

vudu · « **Reply #1 on:** November 14, 2006, 06:02:33 PM »

I think it's good enough. I just think it's crap that the mods seem to think they can edit my posts and force people need to listen to the podcast in order to find out what it is.

Zach · « **Reply #2 on:** November 14, 2006, 06:21:47 PM »

Its ok, sounds really official. Best thing is it wont go out of date in a generation.

Edit: So when do we make the switch, 'cause I kinda just swore off PGC forever

Svevan · « **Reply #3 on:** November 14, 2006, 06:28:02 PM »

Vudu, go ahead and edit your post back if you want. No one will change it. Being a spoilsport retard isn't against the rules, otherwise we would've kicked you out a long time ago.

That's harsh, Svev. Your severity makes me cry. ):

You shouldn't install iTunes on any computer. End of story.

See vudu's sig for the name.

IT'S NINTENDO WORLD REPORT.

If you HAD to keep the celestial body theme going in the new site name, why on Earth (see what I did right there?) would you not include some kind of hilarious "Uranus" pun that we all would have laughed at for years or seconds to come? For shame PGC Staff, for shame.

PlanetManNipples.com was taken?

NWR...I like that...

Smoke39 · « **Reply #13 on:** November 14, 2006, 08:39:55 PM »

"W" has too many syllables. I hate it. You've ruined everything.

Zach · « **Reply #14 on:** November 14, 2006, 08:42:47 PM »

lol, the abbreviation only has one less syllable than the whole site name.

Svevan · « **Reply #15 on:** November 14, 2006, 09:26:31 PM »

You guys can come up with another nickname instead of NWR - in fact I encourage it. Start now! (Not "The Report," though, that was vetoed in advance)

ShyGuy · « **Reply #16 on:** November 14, 2006, 09:42:35 PM »

NWA?

NPR?

NinWahRep?

the only thing more limpwristed than podcasts is using itunes

go take your macbooks back to the poetry cafe

my favorite name candidate was planetn20XX.com

vudu · « **Reply #19 on:** November 15, 2006, 02:06:17 AM »

nintendowiireport.com would have been better. (Also, it looks like you guys have some competition.)

My bad. I didn't think you guys were keeping the new name a secret. I should have realized that you didn't want any traffic to the new site and it would be better if no one knew what the new name was.

Or perhaps your plan is to fill NWR with a bunch of Evan-loving mancakes who listen to the podcast on a regular basis.

NWR_DrewMG · « **Reply #20 on:** November 15, 2006, 02:53:03 AM »

I kind of like the new name, actually.

Rhoq · « **Reply #21 on:** November 15, 2006, 02:58:55 AM »

The new name is a bit odd - I thought for sure it would be an evolution of the "Planet GameCube" moniker. I was expecting something along the lines of "Planet Nintendo ________"

NWR isn't bad, it will take a little bit of time to get used to it, but I like. It's certainly future-proof. As long as Nintendo stays in business and doesn't change their name you guys are good to go forever.

*Edit - I fail because I abbreviated the new name as PWR*

couchmonkey · « **Reply #22 on:** November 15, 2006, 05:12:12 AM »

Nwar?

Pale · « **Reply #23 on:** November 15, 2006, 06:16:07 AM »

People just don't like change. I think the new name rocks. Now people will actually know that we cover the DS and the Wii and everything that is Nintendo.

vudu · « **Reply #24 on:** November 15, 2006, 07:48:50 AM »

Out of curiosity, did you guys try to get planetnintendo.com from GameSpy?

It's not like they're really using it anymore; you can't even get to the DS channel from there.
