By popular request, brand new anagrams. Same idea. (I decided to make a new thread so as for these not to get buried with the other ones. It also makes it much clearer what people are answering to.) Again, if you mind, please use white text coloring as spoiler-proofing for your answers. 1) Naked ogre 2) Adored blush 3) Amazon merge 4) Money ruling 5) Cancan videos 6) Dad fly miasma 7) Groin war ardor 8) Ditching gamma 9) Fire maniac too 10) Operetta slush 11) Torching Roger 12) Treadmill item 13) Anecdotal frogs 14) Filthy banal art 15) Flour withstood 16) My tiny deadhead 17) Reunited vandals 18) Animus in karaoke 19) Wild opera rumors 20) Canonical junior nut 21) Darning estheticism 22) Inaugural cutout mark 23) Onshore beef thieving 24) Unhurt tundra rookies 25) Beautifully beyond savor 26) Opaquest cyclone fractals

Awesome! I'm on it once I feel like it. In the meanwhile though, I present alternate anagrams for each question that I made up just for fun. No I did NOT use anagram generators thank you very much. 1) Eek, dragon! 2) Loud bear Sh'd 3) Emo man a Zerg 4) I, loner guy, me 5) Can I scan dove? 6) Sad mad family 7) Road-warring Orr (Bobby Orr, famous ex-hockey player) 8) Ma: "Ditch gaming!" 9) O, iMac Fontaine! (okay this one's not that great) 10) Sleuth Poe-taser 11) Richter gorn, go! 12) Till dream time? 13) Anal frosted cog (I came SO close to "lap dance or GTFO") 14) Trial bantha fly 15) Wish of turd loot 16) My hand tied a dye 17) Lad invented saur 18) Aa! Run! Anime kiosk! 19) Proud Sam worried 20) A nun/janitor council 21) Sin: dating S&M heretics 22) Nut-ram a curling otaku 23) Shortening of beehive 24) Hurt nature's ink odour 25) (too ridiculous to do on my own, not without a generator. I had a few ideas involving "yodel failure" but ah well) 26) Quest for clean Pascal-y cot (yeah I ran out of ideas) Man this took more effort than I thought it would :/

If it's of any consolation, I programmed the anagram generator myself, rather than using an existing one. I wanted to use the extensive 12dicts word list because I felt online generators are probably using reduced dictionaries (eg. lacking inflections, etc) and thus may not produce all possible cool results. I didn't find any suitable anagram generator program to compile and use, so I ended up writing my own. (Making it fast even for the longer anagrams is actually not completely trivial.) Also some of the game names produced rather long lists of results (sometimes even on the thousands, even when limiting the number of words in the anagram), and searching for something which would work was not always easy. So it's not like I didn't put some work into this idea. :)

Sorry about that. I wasn't trying to demonize you or anything, but I thought that my response might be funnier than the typical answers. I generally try to look for unusual or random phrases in manual anagramming, such as the More Stupider for Super Metroid that Ferret mentioned in the last thread, or Wu Drops More Lira for Super Mario World. I might make a separate anagram thread of my own just for the hell of it, and I'll try not to make it interfere with your own thread ;)
