Taste of Blood: why would you taste blood? A joke about ear-tubes would be more fitting.

Please note that any noticeable taste of blood is not part of any test protocol, but is an unintended side effect of the Aperture Science Emancipation Grill.

That's why Taste of Blood is a name for fizzlers.

Testing project?... c'mon man. I thought it would have been an epic name.
But you're probably like:

Chicken, you derp, that signature and name has been there for ages, its old one. I haven't just changed it yet.
Edit: Now sig, should make it clear that its old one.

Quite clear, yes. Looking like shit now, yes. That sure was a beautiful sig you had right there before...

Sorry. I just think the mspaint part was a bit below the standard, that's all. Still, feel free to use it if you like.

If you have alot of story in your mod/map then try to make the name something that has to do with the map. In my case im working on an map I call: Abandoned, beacuse you wake up confusded and alone.

Another tips is something that catches the reader, a name like: FREAKINGHELLHOUNDLOCHNESSMONSTERMAPS*** would not be a good name...
Something more like:
The Flood (if you use much water/slime)
Overgrowth (if you have alot of plants, but this name is already taken into an map)
things like that, good luck.

What's funny is sometimes I work my map *around* a map name, rather then the other way around (which, by far, is how I see people on here do it).

Same here, I thought of the name "Ode to Turrets" before ever building anything, then I bent my design to fit within that theme...

These are ones I can remember off the top of my head, meaning they are effective! [color=##FF0000]As for Portal Stories, I had to look at lpFreaky's signature in order to remember the name of it. It is a little to too broad to remember honestly.[/color]

For my test chambers, I just take a word someone might use to vaguely describe the test chamber then look in a thesaurus for something that sounds cool. Like I have a map called Tertiary, because the 3rd place you need to go is the exit.
Or convert it to Latin. Latin is always cool.
