Darn right! That is what this Forum is about, the PEOPLE! I did, seriously think about giving up the name.. Ironworks is like my child, just saying it.. it'll get some getting used to saying Escape Gaming.. (although, I AM used to saying TGE==The Great Escape [img]smile.gif[/img]

What I wanted to do was 'mesh' all my sites into one 'theme' (Escape). And when you're playing a PC game, you ARE infact 'Escaping' reality.. That's how I kinda put it all together..

Below are the "Top 10 names that didn't make it"
1.Chocogames [img]graemlins/choc.gif[/img] WHAT!?!?
2.Gamingcrackheads
3.WHERE THE HELL IS DRIZZT IN BG2?
4.Chocmasters Realm of Gaming [img]smile.gif[/img]
5.Platinumworks
6.Diamondworks
7.Titaniumworks (Light, yet strong?)

8.Trollkiller gaming
9.Rikards Dream (huh?!)

and 10........ Ironed working games (Nice and flat--no wrinkles!)

lol!

"Hgou drife a haard barrgun, myster Ziiroc, hbut my country need hgour name..."

Hey, that's wonderful news [img]smile.gif[/img]
It'll take a while or me to get used to the name, but if they pay you $45.000 and we get a new chapter in the history of the site that's easily worth the effort [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

why do they want the "Ironworks Gaming" name? they made up a name like that and like it, and thus decided to stick with it ...?

Congrats, Ziroc! Very good news. [img]smile.gif[/img]

BTW, I am going to FINALLY buy a good Digital Camera--Check it out here:

http://www.canoneos.com/d60/index.html

It's the Canon D60 (A Digital Camera that is SLR--means you can change lenses)
and It's a 6.3 Mega Pixel sucker, with tons of options!!

I will finally get some good pic's of Choc and even the Wedding Present many of you put together for us! (The Framed Plaque) As soon as I get it, I'll snap a few pics of it!! (Check the features out on this D60). The Camera 'pack' includes the Camera housing, case and stuff for $2100--this does NOT include a lens. (I was kinda shocked), but a simple 25-85mm is cheap.. It works with non digital cameras as well (lenses wise).

So look for some amazing pics--6.3 megapixels is as NEAR to 35mm quality you can get. I saw a nice Nikon, but it was only 4.3 MP.

This is a Camera the pro's use, so I'll also be using it to take pic's for a 'textures' cd--say I shot a pic of brick--bring it into Photoshop, clean it up, fix it to where it can be 'tiled' and seamless, and then, in a 3D Modeling program, apply the brick texture, and bam, instant house wall!

It should pay for itself once I sell some texture cd's!! www.marlinstudios.com is a friend of mine, check out HIS texture cd's--a few 100 textures for $300! (That is actually a good price)--Movie studios like Pixal have bought cd's from him to use in Monsters Inc!

Anyway, check it out, it's a sweet camera!

Nice one [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hey, is that Choc's Last Act of Defiance here in the top-left corner?

It isn`t the name that gives the atmosphere, but the fact that there are great members, and an excellent webmaster who chooses excellent moderators [img]smile.gif[/img]
