Gameplay Integrated Menu or something actually descriptive of the trope, perhaps?

I think the name seems realativley clear.

I say for this case, the article could use a little entry pimpin'.

But Gameplay Integrated Menu sounds like a nice redirect.

The name sucks. Let's get something that sounds like a title, not a line of dialog.

Walk In Menu?

Manual Menu?

I want something that rolls of the tounge better than Gameplay Intergrated Menu.

For some reason, I like Walk In Menu.

I guess every (if not most) of these may work as redirects.

The title has to change. And the old one has to die for badness.

Fully Interactive Main Menu, perhaps?

Although that sounds as dead as the remaining titles, I suppose.

I kinda like Menu Level.

We should be getting a crowner going soon.

Bump. Could we get a crowner going on?

The trope has a list of things that disqualify it and this is one of them.

  • The character is a cursor indeed, but he's controlled nothing like in the actual gameplay (Legend of Zelda).

That could be a problem for names like Playable Menu or Manual Menu because it makes the trope seem a bit broader than it is.

Just keep that in mind.

Bump.

Should we wait for more votes or should we call it?

Playable Menu is at +4, Walk In Menu at +2, Fully Interactive Menu at +1. So, no consensus just yet.

"That could be a problem for names like Playable Menu or Manual Menu because it makes the trope seem a bit broader than it is."

I concur.

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.

Playable Menu has my vote.

Also, are we going to kill the title for Give Me Your Inventory Item now too? tongue

@DQZ and Starky: That's really a subset of the first disqualifier, where the menu cursor takes the appearance of an in-game character, but it is still a menu cursor which you control using arrow keys and OK/Cancel buttons instead of actual gameplay controls.

It looks like playable menu won. Let's go ahead and do the switch.

I don't see a much clear "won". And I concur that that proposal for name has issues. From what I gather of the trope, Walk In Menu is better.

Crown Description:

Vote up names you like, vote down names you don't. Whether or not the title will actually be changed is determined with a different kind of crowner (the Single Proposition crowner). This one just collects and ranks alternative titles.
