Name The Project Lore Audio Podcast & Win Prizes!
Our new listeners out there know that we've been struggling to come up with a name for Project Lore's official audio podcast. We've currently recorded an entire trilogy of shows - impressive, I know - but the best title we've been able to come up with is the Dave Edition. It was a hit with at least one fan, our current maximum. Now we are asking, neigh begging, our fans to help us create the perfect moniker. And this time we are offering rewards phat loot.
Tokyopop, makers of the World of Warcraft manga, my most beloved surprise of 2009, has donated three prize packs that will be awarded to the best names. The winners will be chosen at the discretion of Project Lore's contributors, and a vote from Tokyopop will break any tie. Ideas must be submitted as comments to this post. Leave your real e-mail address or we'll have no way of contacting you should you win. If you have submitted ideas on previous posts, please resubmit them for further consideration. You are allowed to submit more than one entry, and more than once. Feel free to explain the reasoning behind your submission as well.
Third Prize: Warcraft: Death Knight (review) and StarCraft: Ghost Academy
Second Prize: Warcraft: Death Knight, StarCraft: Ghost Academy and all of Warcraft: Legends (5 volumes)
A Winner Is You Prize: The entire TOKYOPOP Blizzard library (nine Warcraft books and five StarCraft books)
What We Are Looking For:
Not just any old name will do. No, this is Project Lore we are talking about. We're like politicians, we'll wait an eternity (or the next election cycle) before actually making a decision. If you want to win, then be sure to give us a name that embodies the podcast while hinting at what we cover to potential new listeners. One reader recently suggested "The Bloggers Verdict," and that is an awesome name, but it's not descriptive at all. Project Lore Audio Podcast is highly descriptive, but offers no flair. We are looking for a melding of the two extremes.
Readers, viewers, listeners and trolls, you've been given your mission, should you choose to accept it. You have until March 3, 2010 (that's two weeks) to submit your ideas. Get to work.

The Daily Quest: Weekly Warcraft Podcast presented by Project Lore.com
Ah, the Daily Quest... what better metaphor could there be for the devotion one feels to the community of Warcraft? It goes beyond merely grinding Sons of Hodir reputation via repetitious adventures with uncomfortably sexual monikers. It is not simply kidnapping baby wolvar and refilling wine bottles with half-drunk glasses. Nay; the Daily Quest embodies a deeper responsibility that one feels towards one's community of gamers and Warcraft enthusiasts. It is this communal spirit which drives us to sift through blogspots, forum posts, and the vast ethersphere of the net, accumulating any little nuggets of fascinating data. Then, much like the happy jewelcrafter who feverishly labors to prospect through raw, unpurified ore, we bestow our brilliant discoveries upon the world, that they may dazzle at the beautiful truths we have uncovered. Such is the mission of the responsible podcaster.
tl;dr version: The research you guys do to keep us informed about WoW is like an RL daily quest. Thank you.
