According to some of my friends, it's pronounced "Sonic the Edgehog."

 

I've never heard Manticore pronounced as "Sonic the Edgehog."

Except when I am drunk and being silly.

I remember how Jack claimed he was deep into Greek Mythology but would then pronounce Talos as "Taylos". 🙄

That reminds me of my going full-blown geek after a Malta GM assault on Talos Island and looking up the proper Greek plural for 'Kronos', which is 'Kronoi'.

LIES! Everyone knows the plural of Kronos is Kroneese.

The plural of 'Χρόνος' is  'Χρόνοι' (2nd person plural in neutral gender is 'Χρόνια'), but if you're using the full designation, the plural of 'Kronos titan' would be 'Kronos titans' -- however, people just shorten it to 'Kronos', hence the Greek plural.

in the official CoV trailer at 0:45, Synapse says “got you man-tee-core, i’m all over it”

 

 

I know this is twenty years old now, but it may be the first time I've seen it, and I have questions.

1. I assume they didn't actually pay for Janes Earl Jones to voice Recluse, and that's just someone doing their best James Earl Jones impression?
2. Who is that guy in the black and white bike racer outfit supposed to be?  I don't recognize him.

I believe that's the American way of saying it.

Supposedly Lord Recluse's voice was done by Sean Michael Fish AKA Manticore from the original dev team - though whether this is just for the in-game monologue or also for the trailer I don't know for certain. It definitely sounds similar enough, though.

 

The other guy is Foreshadow. He's got a very different outfit in-game than the one used in the trailer.

I pronounce it Chimera.

Or the V's that are pronounced as W's.  Via is Wee-ah or Vita being Wee-tah for example.  😉
