I'm making a site for the company I'm with --
http://frostitution.net/gignews/ (not final in the least bit, just a mockup)
The angle is Gamasutra/Next-Gen.biz, in that its about the industry in general. The real angle is that we use it to get into conferences, and other tidbits for our real job.
The site was called GIGNews (Game Industry Guru; Get In the Game), but the bossman says we should try and make a new name for the site. It's really hard to make a name! So I figured you guys would like to chip in -- but I know how people work, so I've decided to make an incentive.
If we use
your name, I will personally mail you $100. In check, cash, PayPal, Money Order, whatever you prefer. I'll buy you two games of your choice, your call.
To help you out, I've created a few "approaches" to this naming scheme that I figured could work, and maybe get your mind brewin.
