Guild Wars 2

Can we rename Labyrinthine Horror to Steve? It’s catching on pretty quickly.

As far as my guild is concerned, his name is already Steve!

But isn’t the Deep Sea Dragon named Steve?

That was only an inside dev name for it. It’s real name is Bubbles.

Yea, it’s kinda he’s called the Labyrinthine Horror when it’s clearly us. The giant clob of mortal creatures who, despite our mortality, come in swinging oversized weapons slaughtering poor skeletons and spiders and candygolems by the thousands. They’re horrors? yea right?

I agree. Steve works great for the Lab Horror too. I’ve always preferred “Bubbles” for the deep sea dragon name.

Reminds me of the Lion’s Arch mermaid incident.

The Labyrinthine Horror is the DSD?

Oh my, this could get confusing!

I’ve always called the Horror “Steve…”

I played my little heart out this weekend, even took a day of PTO to get in more Labyrinth time. And given the confusion with the undersea creature, I’m hoping we can all agree to call the Labyrinthine Horror by the name of… ~drum roll~ … Cecil. It… just seems fitting, and players seemed to agree.

I. Just. Can’t.

LH will always be Steve to me any my guildmates. Sorry S-Named-Undersea-Dragon, but you will have to be “Bubbles” to my friends and I until Anet is ready to reveal you.

I called Steve “Cecil” and he knocked me over. He didn’t like it.

The community has been calling him Steve for more than 2 years now.

The name Steve is already taken by the DSD

I dunno. I’d vote for… Colin. Here’s why:

• People want to blame him for ruining their loot run and dying too often.
• Other people love breaking his defiance and forcing him to stand still for 2 seconds.
• He swings a sword; he swings it again.
• Big grin.

Colin, the Labyrinthine Horror

I wholeheartedly agree.

ANet, between this post and the pancakes suggestion in the other thread, I implore you to hire this person and pay ’em whatever they ask.

Why does it has to be a HE? What makes you think Labyrinthine Horror is not a SHE?

I vote for: Emanuelle, the Labyrinthine Horror.
We will call it short: Ema

Colin! Colin! He’s our man. If he can’t swing a sword, no one can!

I vote for Colin also. Renaming the Labyrinthine Horror to Colin would be a funny tribute to a very nice man who worked for ANet for so many years.

that’s easy if it was a “she” it would be called a Horrorette! or Horroress!

I’ve called the Labyrinthine Horror Jeff, since I’ve started Guild Wars 2..

Any TF2 Blackmesa map fans who remember “Steve?”

Gaile Gray.6029:

The fact of the matter is, if I see someone 2 feet taller than me approaching with a roaring chainsaw, I’m likely to call him “Sir.” Or her “Ma’am.”

If I see someone 2 feet taller than me approaching with a roaring chainsaw, then I’m facing the wrong direction.

Cecil The Seasick Sea Serpent should be the name of our underwater dragon, not the Horror. :/

There is already a Kolijn Johansson walking around in Hoelbrak. If we’re naming the Horror, I vote for Bad Ash. I’m getting my boom stick next time I farm the lab.

I’ve never heard it called anything else besides Steve (and Horror of course). Cecil does not fit what-so-ever.

Gaile Gray.6029:

Clearly opinions vary! In the game, I got resounding approval for Cecil, particularly since it eliminated the confusion with another beastie. I’m personally not a fan of using the name of someone I know, like Colin, or Steve. However your mileage may vary, and that’s ok.

The fact of the matter is, if I see someone 2 feet taller than me approaching with a roaring chainsaw, I’m likely to call him “Sir.” Or her “Ma’am.”

Ok, you win:
Sir Colin, Labyrinthine Horror

And yes, I mean this as an NPC name of affection — Colin has had a tremendous impact on the game, as the LH (by whatever name one choose to refer to it/him/her) has on everyone’s favorite farm (at least for 2-3 weeks each October).

PS I’m no expert in Skeletons, but couldn’t Sir Colin’s gender be determined conclusively from the shape of the bones? Is there an osteologist in the house? Or perhaps an anthropologist or archaeologist.

EW, I literally lol’d at this one. Thank you for the best post I’ve seen today.

Looks like Eddie to me. Definitely belongs on a Maiden album cover IMO.

Shocking. Simply shocking pre-judging. Just because an 8 foot Skeleton is running towards you with a roaring chainsaw is no reason for you to make negative snap judgements about him and run away! You need to take the time to talk to him. Try to see things from his point of view. Empathize. Maybe he’s having a bad day and only needs a sympathetic listener. If he chainsaws you in half its a sign you didn’t try hard enough. You didn’t reach out to him and discuss his needs, his dreams and problems.

Can’t we all just get along? :/

We all know how this works in MMOs. Only one of them can be Steve.

The other one will have to be Stevé or Steeve.

I initially called him Larry but everyone was calling him Steve so I started calling him that. Maybe Larry is a good name for him since Steve was taken.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. There’s a reason I no longer use OKCupid: codependent 8ft tall chainsaw wielding skeletons are all the same right down to the bone.

So calling him Josh is out as well? Because I think he looks like a Josh to me.

I’ve signed you up for the sensitivities training class called “Codependency and Your Chainsaw Wielding Skeleton Partner. Love them or leave them?” Hopefully you’ll gain new insight and feel free to date them once again, having overcome the obstacles. It’s tomorrow at 8PM. See you there.

Look…
There are 3 major bosses in the Labyrinth.
Richard the Litch
Colin the Skeleton
and Theodor the King sized Candy corn

However Colin is upset because the Visitors keep calling him Steve.

I don’t inderstand why they keep calling me Steve. Isn’t that the name of some Deep sea beast? I mean look at me! I can’t even Swim!

Colin says…

Richard declare:

These are the rudest visitors we’ve ever encountered. They come to our place, break all our toys, steal all our food, hack faces to our plants, kill us over and over, and now they are trying to change poor Colin’s name. I know the guy since childhood, and I know he has feelings like all of us. They think that just because he is a skeleton they can treat him like dirt?!

Theodor however has a different opinion:

I don’t care how they call Colin. They might want to call him, Steve, Bob or Jack for all I care. The other two don’t realize that these visitors are a blessing to this place. I mean, we spread all our toys and leftover all over the place. The Labyrinth is not gona clean it self. Who do they think is gona clean that mess up?! Not me, I’ll tell you! Letting these “Treasure Hunter” weirdos in can clear this place every season free of charge. Calling Colin names is a small price to pay to make the place livable for another year.

His name was Cecil in the realm of the living, and he was an asura that suffered from gigantism. He was found abandoned as a baby, most likely due to his deformities.

Cecil grew up in an orphanage, and was never adopted. Often times the other children made fun of him for the way he looked.

As an adult, Cecil became a traveling janitor, and was darn good at it.

One day, Cecil was in the Black Citadel and was hired to clean up the pub after a typical charr birthday celebration. He left town afterwards and wasn’t heard from again.

After several months, someone found Cecil. He was dead, in a shack outside Divinity’s Reach. The cause of death was determined to be autoerotic asphyxiation.

I must weigh in here, I am Aggie Se’leraun, Necromancer by trade. Steve and I had a torrid love affair for a short time, but after a time we broke up in a fiery fight of rage and passion. I cursed him to live unhappily ever after. He has stalked me ever since.

**The story behind the story, begins three years ago when my guild mates and I, were in the Labryinth and they noticed the, “Horror” dubbed Steve always triggered by my presence. I know this was a fluke, however they began teasing me. “Aggie tell your boyfriend to go away.” Back then Steve had some nasty habits and often downed a whole group fighting Candy Corn. Each year the story of Aggie and Steve and their bitter battle has grown. Whenever we are running Labryinth, we often cry out “Steve” when he appears. What surprises me this year is to begin to hear others chanting it. I don’t know what caused my guild to pick Steve, honestly I think it made it funny cause it is such a common normal name on such a crazy beast! Halloween Time we hold dear to us, we are often your commanders in labryinth. The legend of Steve shall always live on in our guild. #makeSteveLiveagain

Our guild named Steve the dragon that beats up the plant queen I forgot her name now, mother tree isn’kitten

It’s called the Pale Tree. -.-

I’ll never understand this silly human desire to give everyone a nickname.

I think Jon or Peter. Taking a chainsaw to GW2 and then disappearing deep into the Amazon.

Windu The Forbidden One.6045:

LOL. Well, not officially. My guildmates and I have called LH “Steve” since we first saw him/her which was well before the DSD was on anyone’s radar for a name.

As Gaile said, however, the official name of The Labyrinthian Horror will not change. To bad. Maybe one day we will get a fractal that explains how LH turned into this monstrosity and what his/her real name is.
