Pronouncing the Overlord's Name
« on: January 31, 2013, 02:06:03 pm »
First of all, I'd like to say great job on the Valley 2 Beta.  There's just one thing that's been driving me crazy?  How in the name of Environ do you pronounce Demonaica?  Is it: 

Dee-mon-ic-uh?
Dee-mun-ay-kuh?
Deh-mo-nay-ik-uh?
or something else I can't think of? 

Thanks.

Demon-I-icah is how I've heard Chris pronounce it.

I usually pronounce it ?bæst??d.

(edit: interestingly, the forum's preview showed the special characters correctly, but the post does not)

Yep, that's how I say it.  Or spelled Demon-aye-ikah if that helps with the phonetics.  Both are the same, just different spellings of how I say it.

Dem-uh-NAY-i-kuh is how I pronounce it. I'm almost certain that's "wrong", but that's how it is for me.

I can already tell this is going to be a roller coaster ride of disappointment.

Heh, calling him Godzilla might be more fitting.

Or Stay Puft if anybody's played the original NES/sega 8bit ghostbusters game.

Haha. I saw that video actually. I had played it on the 8bit sega and that version is far better than the one he played. You can use a passcode to start with all he money you earned, going up the stairs was actually a fight (can shoot diagonally up or horizontal), etc.

:) :) :)

Since we knew each other in High School and like he started to take over the world, when I was like still finishing Community College, and then of course couldn't get a job in Agricultural Compost Labs and had to fall back on this ad in the paper for  "wanted... local person to act as hero after deceptively deceiving Minion Overlord... salary and benefits are very low... as in none, but travel and meeting people is definitely a big part of this job! Apply now...

So, I just call him Stan, he really, really hates it when someone calls him Stanley, so I usually avoid that, until you know, like at the end, I've got the oblivion crystals like diffused and I'm really, really ready to like Kick some... you know.
