A few friends and I are making a talk show. We are caught between two names and we want to know which sounds better. The show is mostly about gaming and nerd culture and is mostly unscripted. We like the free range stuff haha. Anyway we talk a lot about Old vs New, Remakes and Reboots, Evolution of genres, etc. So which name sounds like a show you would remember and pops out more?
Thanks for all the help! The first show should be out around the end of this month! Of course I will be shouting out Racketboy in it so hopefully we will get some views and new people here!

Re: Need help naming my show!
I checked on both but there are a lot of outlets that they could have been taken. But I did a lot of research and those two don't seem to be taken. Hobie your sense is worth a good chunk of cents. So if you don't mind me asking why did you make that choice? Just sound better?

Just seems like it rolls off the tongue better.

So one person for The Game Case now. Any reason why it over Too Many Bits?
Re: Need help naming my show!
Or you could merge both and call it "Game Bitz", unless people would assume it's about tri-wings and security bit drivers.
... or "Game Kibitz", "Game K-bitz"... it's fairly clever if I do say so myself.

I like The Game Case better. Seems more witty I guess. I'mma sucker for wittyness.

Re: Need help naming my show!
I think "The Game Case" will stand up better to repeated mentioning. It has a nicer sound, with the assonance of the a in the two main words -- and it's fast. It's also instantly recognizable as a title referring to one specific thing. "Too Many Bits" has an emphasis on each word and will be more awkward to say, and it's also not as obvious as a title. What I mean is, I can see someone saying "Hey, what do you think of The Game Case?" and an uninitiated friend saying, "I've never heard of it -- is it a band or something?", but I see someone saying "Hey, what do you think of Too Many Bits?" and that same friend saying "Huh?"
I have no idea if that made sense or not.

Re: Need help naming my show!
Either are fine, and don't get too concerned about the name of the show, as you can change it at anytime. Record your first show, playback, and you might have a conversation in the show where someone says something that you could use as the title.
