A while back, I talked about how we’d “number” our tables. In summary, I wanted to use location names from a certain computer game Mr. Sew and I spent abhorrent amounts of time playing together.

Then I got a little frustrated finding appropriate images, and started questioning the whole idea. It took more time than I should have spent, but eventually we finished enough for 13 tables.

I tried to add some funny captions, but I think it was a fail. Some of the references are really obscure, and some aren’t even references at all.

As cute as Maple images are (don’t they just give you the biggest gaming cravings? I die!), I’m really uneasy about using these for our table names. This is mainly because they are really, really pixelated when blown up. Also, the names are a bit small and might be hard to read. And there’s really no explanation for any of the images. They are all pretty random. I don’t know how we’d explain them anyway, other than “this is a game we used to play all day in college instead of studying”. We may have meaningful in-game moments, but I wouldn’t expect the average non-gamer to understand that.

But never fear! Right after finishing these I thought of a new idea, and after running it past Mr. Sew, we feel it will be a better option. Think of it as a complete 180 from the cute gamer images, but still just as nerdy (if not more).

Did you finish a project only to toss it out for something else?
