In Response To: How to pronounce Marathon Words (Thoth Wannabe)

: I never really thought much of it since there really aren't many Marathoners
: were I live (which tragically means I rarelly get to play netgames) but
: how exactly would one pronounce many of the words in Marathon. Like S'pht
: for example. That name sounds more like some comic book sound effect than
: a race. Or for that matter, Lh'owan. Would that be like Lowan? Or how
: about all the S'pht clans like the S'pht'Kr. Does anyone really know how
: to pronounce the Wchacnter (I know the spelling is way off, but those
: Chaos creatures)What do you guys say at those Bungie fanfests and stuff?!?
: How does Bungie pronounce them?

If you check the Forge tutorial movies from the Marathon Infinity CD you'll hear how Bungie pronounce some names. The Story page FAQ also has some info from Greg Kirkpatrick on how to pronouce Jjaro.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
Hamish

BTW most people can't even spell W'rkncacnter never mind pronounce it. ;-)
