Zangeki no Reginleiv

Xexyz

Post moar, please.

Correct: Zee-veeus
Suikoden
You say: Sooey-koden (believe it or not, I have heard people pronounce it like that)
Correct: Swee-koden
On an earlier one, I always thought that Ninja Gaiden was pronounced "guy-dan" (I blame The Wizard for that, though).
You say: "Act Rayzer"
Should be: "Act Rizer"
Lakitu
You say: "Luh Kee doo"
Should be: "Lah Kee Too"
I surprisingly knew the correct pronounciation to most of those games, except for Suikoden & Disgaea which I still call "disgaya" :heh:
that can’t be right
– Umm… I say "kris tel is", my friend says "kris thal is".
Faussete Amour (PC Engine, Super CD)
Alias (PS2, Action)
– "Ale e as" or is it "A lie as"
—
I’m terrible with pronunciation. :/
that can’t be right
my mistake..
アクトレイザー
and shenmue, really, how can anyone mispronounce that when THE FUCKING GAME says it?
its like the neverending fight i have in the world at war pre-game lobbies when the next map is makin or makin day, i say "please guys, vote this map cuz i hate ma (as in MAma) kin (pronounced keen)", then this wiseass comes along and says "its (make)in, you dumbfuck"
how can i be wrong when roebuck himself says it IN THE FIRST FUCKING SENTENCE OF THE FIRST FUCKING VIDEO of the fucking campaign? its a japanase word you dumbfucks!
fuck damn it!
You say: Oh-kah-mee
Should be: (O should be extended) – ka – mee
I still don’t know how people can keep getting this wrong. Someone even says the title at the opening screen.
Pisces Knight, chill!
What happened to Pisces Knight? He was posting in GD for a while, wasn’t he?
You say: �Shen-moo-eh�
Should be: �Shen-moo� <— correct :lol (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETcJeJIqca4&feature=related)
Wait what? People mispronounce Shenmue?
Geez your really cutting down the necromancers today aren’t you
Yeah, I think weird thoughts like that :erm:
X-box’s new Motion sensor thing (not entirely sure what it is):
NATAL
My friends call it "Nay-tel"
but it is actually pronounced "Na-tal"
I like these smilies keep them coming
: – D
Keep on fighting the good fight, or something.
You say: “Wise, Yeez, Y.S., Yis”
Should be: “Ease”
Not quite true. It’s a hard S sound. Rhymes with "peace," not "peas."
Ehrgeiz
You say: “Ur-guys, Air geez”
Should be: “Air-guys”
Also not quite on the money. "Air-guyts." Would rhyme with "bear bites."
reasons why i was absent:
1. again, i lost the name of the site, had to reboot pc so all my favorites went missing.
2. college is an ass
3. i had a job once, its gone now
