Guile as "gweely"
Ryu is "Raiyoo"

Not related, but I once heard someone pronounce "anime" as "aneem", two syllables. That one took me a while, literally 20 seconds to translate into human. I couldn't figure out WTF he meant.

When working at a game store a kid once asked "Do you have THPS3 for PS2?" He pronounced it just like I wrote it. He wanted Tony Hawk 3, but instead of saying that he had to say it like a video game magazine writes it out.

Then there is SHMUP, which is ONLY acceptable if you are writing an article in an European Amiga magazine in 1989. f*ck all dipshits.

Sega pronounced "Say Grrr"
SNES pronounced SNEZ (ryhmes with Pez)



The Saygrrr one I've heard from British people, but it's just the accent.   They say "eye dee urrr" when saying idea, and stuff.   Dunno why, but it's funny.


The worst to me is Magic of Scheherazade.   

"Magic of Sheehah ruh zaydee"

what.

Oh and Faxanadu.

"Facks za naydu"


This is something I've payed a lot of attention to, the whole "idear" thing.  It seems the "R" is used if the word ends with a vowel, and the word that follows begins with one.  Can anyone give credence to this theory?

Sort of
Which should be pronounced sor(t) ov

I'm still trying to figure this out:

Vegas Tactical Gladiator?  Vah-goose Tactical Gladiator?  Vay-goose?  WTF, over...


I OFFICIALLY DECLARED that "Veigues" is pronounced "VEEGZ" back when it was released.

NO OTHER WAY IS ACCEPTABLE.

I am serious.

I have ignored any post that state otherwise.

I have ignored the posts that agree with me because

MY OFFICIAL DECLARATION PRECEDES posts in 2015.

Thank you.

PET PEEVE:

I hate when folks say "nesssss" or "snessssss" instead of "ehn eee ess" or "ess ehn eee ess"

Absolutely no one should be allowed to say stupid shite like that.

I am sorry I offended most of you.

But you are imbeciles.

Thank you.

I'm guilty of saying "AT AT" a few times, but never "nessssss/sssnessss". I hate that too.

I was waiting for someone to catch this.  We just call the game Granola Snake now, because it's too funny not to.

At least she got the name of the "snake" right, I think.  (Gorm?)

Legend of Tselda. I'm still doing it. I never got accustomed to proper English pronunciation, and will never do.

BTW, the boot screen of Sonic says clearly Say-Ga.

They tried to make me do a recap
I said no, no, no

My dad used to say "Nine - ten - dough".  My mom used to say " 'intendo."

My brother used to pronounce Jean-Michel Jarre as "Jarr - ay" no matter how many times I corrected him.

Giana Sisters pronounced by some Germans(?) as "Guy - an - a"... great name for a doctor that treats women's problems...

And who can forget that in-game bungle:  "Sting - y"?
