JasperStone Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 (edited) Look at these unnamed places on the boardwalk in Talos. Two nameless in the first, one in the second. Can we name them. Stay with the theme or other treasures in mythology? Bubos' Bar and Grill has a ring to it Mention anything from Harry Potter and I will spray you with a garden hose.

Not something that makes me want to eat somewhere. That it's indirectly connected to rats doesn't help either -- mostly because it makes me think of Chuck E. Cheese, which might actually make it even less appetizing. 1 Formerly of Virtue, now on Excelsior: Ace of Spades | Adamant Eve | Arch-Rival | The Bee | Blackbelt | Citizen Arcane | Core | Ctrl Alt Defeat | Daddy Longlegs | Diamant Drop Dead Gorgeous | Cyber-Security | Freak Accident | Galactrix | Great White Shark | Heavy Machinery | Highway Star | The Howl | Inter-Galactica | Ion Maiden Knockout Artist | Krakatoa | Night's Templar | The Pact | Paroled McDonald | Virtual Boy | Volcaniac | White Widow | Yucatan And my most recent 50, Doctor Roswell (Psychic Blast/Atomic Manipulation blaster, 16 August 2024) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High_Beam Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Clearly there is a Greek Mythology thing going there as it is all over with the Warriors. Golden Fleece, Plato's Books, Kraken. SO factoring out a Pandora's Box which is in Talos already and a City of Gyros, there could be some fun Greek themed silliness. Maybe a restaurant called Oedipus Tex-Mex, Spartan Furniture (word play is fun!), Olympic Tan. Man I could do this all day.

Herotu Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Why can't these be nods to the community? Name your favourite developer.. maybe not. That's a terrible idea. My suggestion: The Olympic Buildings. The buildings should be of different heights like an Olympic podium. Aside: It'd be nice to have some interactivity with them. I love things like that - like the secret base in .. eh... [was it Boomtown]? Very cool, no function. Ace. Perhaps some kind of shop and in the back is a series of doors you need to complete a quest to get a badge? And you need the badge to enter and it's a 1960 super-spy base (or <insert fantasy>). 1 ..It only takes one Beanbag fan saying that they JRANGER it for the devs to revert it.

There used to be a unisex hair salon in my hometown back in the 1970s called "The Golden Fleece". Considering some of the hairstyles back then, I thought it appropriate. The pet store for Circe. Definitely. I was going to suggest a store with Proteus in the name, since in classical Greek myth, Proteus was found on the sand by the shore, but since there's a notable villain by that name...

Herotu Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 What do you have near the seaside? Where I live - Aside from endless hotels, we have lots of things you'd associate with gypsy funfairs such as Horse-and-Carts, Amusements (video games, slot machines), Funfair (with big-dipper rides, big wheel-esque affairs), Fortune Tellers/Palm Readers, Candyfloss. Additionally, food outlets serving fish and chips, ice cream and rock. The question is, would this be a tourist spot or not? ..It only takes one Beanbag fan saying that they JRANGER it for the devs to revert it.
