What are your thoughts?

The Nelson Tethers doesn't make it any better, nor does the colon. :O)

I have to say I'm not a fan of the name either. "Puzzle Agent" is too generic, too prosaic. I'm still thinking of this game as "Scoggins" because that name sticks in the mind, it's something unique that piques interest.

I hope that if this picked up for a full season, they'll find a better name.

I like "Puzzle Agent". It's clear and simple, and it gets the nature of the game out at a glance for any customers that are just glancing at it in a store rather than obsessing over every morsel of information deigned ready for the public eye. Some might say that's boring, but some are stinky poo-heads.

[taumel]

Maybe i don't want it clear, simple and written right in front of my head in huge loud letters. Maybe i prefer a name which inspires my fantasy, where i have to think a bit more outside the box and where i can read something between the lines?!

No, i'm with the UK diver on this one.

The Problem of the "Mystery of Scoggins" is the title is tied to an Event, instead of been tied of what to do. Puzzle Agent is tied, in a way, to Nelson. And Nelson can go to other places instead of only Scoggins.

In a way, they are doing the title to become a Series instead of just a one shot. Which says a lot about those guys

(By the way, I don't really like the name either, but I can understand why it's there. Appart, we become used to call it "The Mystery of Scoggins" and a change is always weird at first. If you still dislike the name after a month, we can talk about that. But now it's way too soon. In fact, I'm starting to become neutral about the name.)

I wonder why they picked the name Nelson Tethers anyway. It doesn't exactly roll off the tongue like Phoenix Wright or Professor Layton or pretty much any well-known character with their name in their title.

[GinnyN]

Hey! I took like 3 months to say (with sound) Phoenix Wright! It's not like it's easy to say! (Natural Spanish. Ok).

[Rather Dashing]

And people think I dwell on minutia.

It's not really a change. It's more of a correction to what we assumed the title would be based on the teaser.

I don't like the generic "Puzzle Agent," but I kind of like "Nelson Tethers: Puzzle Agent," mainly because of the way I hear it being announced in my head.

I can't dive either.

Huh. I can. NAUI certified for recreational diving. No technical diving or instructor certification, though. It doesn't generally take long at all(like, not much longer than a weekend), it's really just a cost issue.

If you are from UK, Taumel's comment just backfired.

Haha, I'm not. United States, hence the arrogance.

Well, then at least you're offering some interesting misleading information with your avatar. :O)

Arrogant men can be found in all corners of the globe, Dashing - but you do make an excellent case for the U.S.

It's a snorkel. Anyone can do that, but you need to take a course to dive with oxygen.

When i was in Egypt i a.o. attended a course to snorkel and dive in the red sea. First thing people wanted me to taking part was to snorklel. l was scared due to all those sea urchin, lion fishes, jelly fishes, clown fishes and many otehr lifeforms all around me. Calm down taumel, think about it, it's you they should be afraid of, so, hah, just enjoy those wonderful colours all around you.

Then after some time i got more adventerous again and took my own route across the riff a little bit away from the others. I was happily enjoying myself until i got more away from the riff were i was trying to look deep down into the sea when suddenly something big and white shaped up from below. If thought, okay that's it, you and your stupid adventures, why didn't you stay with the others, this must be a shark.

It came so quickly towards me that i was kind of paralysed, just staring at it, getting bigger and bigger. Then after a few seconds i realised that this wasn't a shark. Instead it was one fat diver in a white swimsuit, hey heart, you can continue bumping again. I still stared at the diver considering the possibilities and how weird this situation was, oh and i safely returned to the beach, at least physically.

In the defense of the US as a collective whole, it may just be my upbringing in New York...though that's what I usually use to explain my hostility, inability to hold back any opinion(no matter how derisive), and my love of bagels.

Ah, New Yorkers.

I also was once in New York. Problem was that all our luggage, we were coming from Canada, was sent to Casablanca and we had to stay there for some time until our stuff returned, so with only a few dollars left in your pockets we lived in the cheaper surburbs for a few days. Only a few white around us, we a.o. made it out of one gun fighting and somehow our New York trip was a completely different experience than we intended it to be.

Wasn't it Dennis Leary who once said New York teaches you to life from moment to moment, from street to street?! We looked pretty shabby and dangerous on our own when our luggage, which they obviously didn't send straight back to New York finally arrived. Interestingly we had less problems with this outfit in the surburbs but then in Manhatten. :O)
