So I did a search and was amazed to not find a thread already on the subject! Maybe I missed it, and if so point me there, but this thread must exist! What are the best special enemy and artifact names you've come across? If you've got a good artifact list of "additions", that qualifies too! Didn't even think of room names until after I posted, but those can be pretty funny too. For example: Enemy: the "Pounder of Ales" or from Narwhal in the death thread: the "Sahmosifer the Dominatrix Over Gears" I'll post more when I'm at home and remember to screenshot them...
It's not an enemy or artifact name, but it's a room. I think it was "The Non-Euclidian Bakery of Sausage Rolls".
All artifacts: Maslech, the Eater of Beatings; Eyjalla, the Extraplanar Marriage (talk about long distance); Unuspo, the Unimpressive Fork.
I agree. (Click me, I'm a link!) I remember watching Cosmos with my dad on PBS when I was kid, and even then, I recognized its awesomeness. The fact that I still remember it a quarter century later after only watching a handful of episodes says something, if you ask me.
/jealous I wonder if it's available on Hulu or NetFlix? Time to fire up ye olde interwebs and take a look...
You didn't specify random in the first post. I've had: Valcrajo, the Mangler of Grammars (found that kinda ironic) Argkulltwe, the Creation of Grammars Are we doing room names, too? I found The Portly Test Chamber of Pillars, which made me laugh. And The Beknighted Home of Kumquats, and The Dry Dock of Porpoises.
OK, I checked the first post and you're right, I didn't explicitly specify random. But I did say artifact, which is the same thing in my head It might even be the same distinction in the code, artifact involves random stats. I love the irony of the first one
ARJIOBUHJEKLSJRKLAWJRL:KEJ;LWGL:JE: Irony is when the intended meaning is an INVERSION of the normal meaning. If something is a mangling of grammars, and bears the title of "Mangler of Grammars" it's not ironic, it's apt.
The name is ironic because it is perfectly formed, thus it's ironic that it would be a mangler of grammars.
