Reaper Girl Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 I always save my save games wierd stuff...when i was twelve, the standard was fbnashjbfn1, fbnashjbfn2. Other times, it relects my thoughts on the game; example "the dam hand guy in the alley2" Other times, it's just stupid "I love Jake!2" or "Sugarhiiiiighguirne3" Sooo........what do y'all name your funfun save games?
Lemon Head Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 I think there's a whole sort of psychology to savegame names. I've noticed that when I (and quite a few other people, though not all) save games when we're on our own, we call them ridiculous things like "Damn you, you stupid goldfish" or "plink fer-nuzzle cloop". However, whenever there are other people around to witness this saving, all of those names go out of the window to be replaced by "CIA 4" or "castle bedroom". Now why is it that we are so ashamed of our saved games? Is it because they provide an insight into our souls, which we htought would be for our eyes only? What is it that we are afraid of? Stop the madness, and be proud of your savegames!
ptdc Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 Mine are usually dskfjijahsd093wed or something like that asjdfcshfji. Or they start off normal and go downhill. Sometimes I make a mockery of the system and number them.

Tahnee Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 My savegames are depressingly normal. "Game #1, Game #2," etc. Except for when I'm reeeeally frustrated at a game. I had an EMI savegame once (before my hardrive died) called "#$@!^%vistapuzzle!!!11one!" That vista puzzle and I had issues.
Ernil Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 I name mine after common Mexican names. Paco, Pablo, Juan, etc. I don't know why...I've been doing since day 1.
Joshi Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 When I first play the game, it's usually, neil1, neil2 and so on. When I play the game again, it's a save at all my favorite places, like 'Guybrush Threepwoods Pirate Jingles' and so on.
Anomonous Guy Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 i noramlly just type in random words like bo schidup yoyo lalala damngame arghhhhhhhhhhh etc....
Branik Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 ghjvcghjdf4352 is pretty common. And k9089gt7j too.
Herman Toothdecay Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 My save games are very mechanical; first I find out how many parts there are to the game, and leave that many available slots at the top of the list to save at the transition screens. After that I save my games as "Dave1", "Dave2", and so on. Unless it's a game with no screenshot to accompany the saved game, in which case I describe the setting and place in the game.
Alia Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 I personally favor the method of taking a phrase out of the last thing that was said by any character. Examples: "all my dreams" "Wally!" "red dinghy but good!" "what is it with you and flowers?" and other such nonsense.
TheMonkeyGuy Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 The names of my savegames are things related with the game. Example... If I am playing Monkey Island my savegames are: 1- Monkey Island 2- LucasArts 3- Guybrush 4- Root Beer etc
Lemon Head Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 GAH! The boringness of some of these savegames would curdle milk - you should be ashamed of yourselves

LeChuck is HOT SH*t BABY5 hehheh. i'm joking, of course... *looks around* Andy!?! i thought you were dead! *breaks down into tears*
RicardoLuigi... Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 i don't really save a game to play it later all that often, i save games when it comes to a funny dialogue choice, or a funny screen. example: stupidgaypoonisfishermanhastwopipes translation: "stupid gay poonis fisherman has two pipes" i know poonis isn't a word....but my little brother called me a poonis once and i kinda stuck.... another one: teeheeiamalmostfinishednoiamnot translation: "teehee i am almost finished no i am not" and things like that. i try to fill up the whole space if i can...i never put just one word. it's usually a whole sentence. anyway...that's a look into my savegames. For me it's usually a combination of the letters "a", "s" and "d'".
scabb Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 I usually try to make my save games witty yet vague descriptions of what's happening in the game - so you can only understand where the saves are if you've actually played the game. I usually fail miserably and end up with titles such as "Meet Manny" or "Get Hector".
Bushmeister Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 Location names are the name of the game when I'm replaying my adventures. Otherwise, one file usually called "Bushmeister" or "Connor".
Captain Gonzo Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 I use my name followed by a number, just out of habit because when I first played these games I shared the computer with my brother and dad, so we'd each have our own save games for our own progress through. Usually if I get to a new part or a cool scene I save so I can start from that point or watch it back though. Then you get boring names like 'Confronting Largo' or 'Part II - Four Map Pieces'... Crazy save game names are cool though, and yeah, the psychology of it would be interesting to get to the bottom of.
Gabez Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 When I get a new game I'm usually all ":D", so I name my first saved game cool. Then when I play next it's all ":D :D", so I name my saved game cooler. If I need another save slot it's usually just called "other save" :~
Glottis512 Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 I used to describe my location, like : In Atlantis or: Human prison. Then I became paranoid I might overwrite game data and vital files. So then I put in my name and a number. Then I became paranoid I might overwrite a savegame from another game. Like if I was playing M2 and called the file Ali123 I would be worried about deleting my DoTT file of the same name. So now I type jibberish. What a sad paranoid freak of a man I am. :compcry:
Yufster Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 ha ha ha! I'll open up MI2 first and see... Oh, okay. I was trying to investigate parts of the game, so I saved the following names: Part I Cemetary Largo gets the Beard About to board Part II Got the costume etc.,etc., Now let's see sam and max! This is what a save game USUALLY looks like for me... asdfasdf asdfasdfasdf asdfasdgfasdgasdg ****ERS asldkfjasld SOS F*ck this shít Now lets see.... Day of the Tentacle!!! My sister was trying to play this, so we had a little 'save game arguement' rusalka WHAT dont load my savegame I THINK I JUST WILL no dont im further than u NOT WHEN I SAVE OVER ALL EM dont be retarded I NO U R BUT WHAT AM I if u wipe off my savegam ill tell TELL TALE TELL TALE TELL TALE etc.,etc.,etc.,
NiKo Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 Interesting discussion. i just played Gabriel Knight 3 and noticed that at first my saved games were named: gggg ppp wwww dddddd d33333 and so on... but as i got more into the game, the names had meanings.: Whoa!! boobies! behold my lesbian body! who farted?? happiness is a big genital. and so on...
ptdc Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 I just got an Atari STE and for some reason I'd kept my monkey island save disk from the second time I played through the game. This is from about 1994 and here are all the names of the saves. Circus money MELEE ISLAND OUT OF THE BIG SALTY DRINK ON THE WAY TO MR.SHOPKEEPER I'M A HUNTING TREASURE SUMMER HOLIDAY TO MONKEY ISLAND tm Ouch! my butt's on fire and i'm bananas caniball alert aaaaahhhhhhhrrr!!!!!!!!
