kinda OT: need store name
Hey guys,
I'm opening a video game store, and I need a name fast. I'm starting with video games and if it works out, I'll expand to DVD's also later. So, I'd prefer a name that could work for selling both games and DVDs (so nothing like "Game Mania"). I'll take all suggestions though. The only reward I can offer is the atisfaction of knowing you named a store. So, how 'bout it? Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
Buster.

Congrats on opening a gaming store.
Here are my ideas:
Multimedia Center
Electric Entertainment
Visual Oddities (is there a store called that? I think I made it up........)
R.G.B For the colors in the composite cables. [sarcasim]Yup, I am a genius ![/sarcasim]
Video Source
Buster Montegue's Hey, you never know....
Tech Station
And for a Japanese title, how about:
Video Get! (the Exclamation mark is required)
Thats all I can think of now, some of them are weird I know but the others are pretty cool, let us know what you decide on even if you don't use any of ours .

thanks for the suggestions. what do you think of these:
Under Your Thumb
Thumb Wars (have a lot of people seen the little funny movie that also bears this title?)
of the ones suggested, i like Entertainment Outpost the best. but as you can see from my ideas, i'm going for something a little less...impersonal. i want this to be a store with personality. and that starts with the name. i want my store to be the cool store to shop at. i guess i'm looking for a cool title that would make sense for a video game/movie store, but doesn't come out and say it. i can always stick "video games" underneath the store name. i'm trying to stay away from words like Digital, Entertainment, Video, Game, DVD, Interactive. there's already a zillion stores out there that have names with these type of words such as Digital Media Depot (i just made that up). i'll probably end up going with a name like that though if i can't think of anything catchy enough.
hey Outlay, how about
Buster Montegue's House of Illusion?
thanks.

young is right. none of those names sound right if used in a sentence. for example, "I am going to drive to Monkey VS Dinosaur." doesn't really sound like you're going to a store. what about
Atom Eyes
?
I dunno. probably not any better (?)

I think this was a name of a band or something though........may have? I like it either way.
BTW, I like "Couch Monkey"........or even better Wet Monkey ...... nothing to do with DVD or video games but sounds cool

Out of those, I guess I'd pick Under Your Thumb - it kinda sounds arts and craftsy, but it also sounds like a Social Distortion song or something.
