Jul 8th 2009 6:01AM (Joystiq)Still, creating more buzz for the great show is always good.

Mar 28th 2008 7:53PM (Joystiq Xbox)Still though, I think N+ failed because it looks sort of meh(however is pretty fun, I am just saying, it's a stick figure collecting rings... Doesn't sound like much), and it has been available online for free for a while now, why pay? Even if I liked it, I may have already had enough of the flash version. I still think some kind of sorting system should be put into place. At the very very least, a top downloads(instead of featured) list of 5-10 games, and maybe even a numerical representation(doesn't have a good reason, but sounds cool).
A "Most Downloaded" just sounds so simple and bland, I am surprised it wasn't there to begin with, but would be a good first step.

Now, liten to two names. The first is Keir, which, I believe you would agree is what is bing said.
The second is Slaughter. That wasn't a joke. Scroll down to the S names, and you will find Slaughter.
The second link is this:

Those are instruction telling you how to DOWNLOAD NEW names the doll(in .rbf format, it would seem). However, you can only download the names provided on the site, but if I really wanted to I could probably add my own sounds(unless that format is a very closely guarded proprietary one).
I am definitely not claiming that is the case(I am claiming that the name "Keir" is being mistaken for kill. Which seems to me is more do to Elmo's voice than the compression). So, yeah, case solved. However, people who name their kid Slaughter seem like a bigger concern to me(I would really hope that the name is from a background that isn't English speaking... "Oh my god, that's your baby? What did you name her? -"Slaughter" "Oooooh, that's, um, very sweet. I have an appointment with my... Um... Butcher! Gotta go bye!).
There are a few other funny names you could find, that if you had acess to the order they were played in(again, not saying this happened. The fact that the bug began after changing the batteries would a imply some sort of short or something) you could make some pretty funny phrases. For one, if it was "Kill James, Amen" It would have been much creepier. In the downloadable list(which I assume is included in newer Elmos) the name Aamen is found, and is pronounced "Amen".
There is also Neeve, which sounds a lot like leave, and Loftin/Loften, which sorta sounds like laughing(with some sort of English accent, but still), and Monet, which sounds like how the Odd Todd guy says "money"(mun-eh).
Those are just a small list of a few I heared(from the even shorted "downloadable" list).
I'm hoping next for versus from the bible, Tarantino movie quotes, recipes, and a rapping Elmo, all homebrew. But alas, that is just hope... Or is it?
