Peter Brinson: don't call it the IML2

don't call it the IML2

We are working on a new lab for classes and projects on the first floor of Zemekis. The running name is the 'IML2'. We will inherit this name unless we work together as a community. Please.

Here I give a few ideas. I give them so that you will all be inspired to comment to the post with your ideas! If we end up with the name 'IML2' the universe might implode, which includes the Interactive Media Division.
---
1. "GNI lab" - GNI is not IML. Here's a clue why it involves humor: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU
2. "A billion" - that's it. Student 1, "Hey, where do you want to meet to work on our game for Tracy's class?". Student 2, "A billion"
3. "The Q Room"

....

Remember, we will use this name a lot. So it is important.

Tracy's comment got lost, so here it is:

I like the IDL and the Sandbox.

Back when I went to school here, the editing room we spent hours and hours in was called the Bullpen and so I'll throw that one out there for nostalgia's sake.

Other ideas:
42
Red room (or redrum)
Minus world

Sean Plott:

Catchy Names:
1) Children's Limbo (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limbo)
2) The Lighthouse (because its not in a f****** basement anymore!)

Cool Acronyms:
1) ZIL - Zemeckis Interactive Lab. (consistent with pronunciations such as the GIL)
2) GECK - Game Engineering Creativity Kingdom! (its extremely catchy to say "lets meet at the geck." It doesn't really matter what GECK stands for, if you're down for changing the name)
