Tiril and I sometimes play this turn-based computer game called “Heroes of Might and Magic V” while we’re studying. Today I had a look at our list of saved games from this semester, and I think there’s a certain pattern in the names we give the games:
- Tikka Masala
- Maiskolbe (“corn on the cob”)
- ISN
- alltid sloss (“always fight”)
- masala kapstok
- Kryss-entropi
- Lindeman (a psychologist)
- Expectation Maximation
- Eksponeringstid
- treige jevler (“slow..bastards(?)”)
- vaartegn (“signs of spring”, this one’s from March)
- runrunrun
- tannpirker (“tooth pick”)
- hengendeneppe (???)
- toppenavingenting
- Zermelo-Fraenkel Axioms
- comstockery
- Transfinite & Epsilon Induction
- Godt Smor (“good/salted butter”)
- Ferdig med Sag & Bender!!!
- Construction Grammar
Hmm. Other than our obvious obsession with food, I see that names related to my courses seem to outnumber Tiril’s by 6 to 1.
But then last semester it was all Ericsson, Sullivan and Klein.
The topic is quite trendy in the net at the moment. What do you pay the most attention to when choosing what to write ?
