+DZ-Jay Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 The correct way to pronounce B-17 Bomber? I pronounce it the first way, What about you guys? my inspiration: http://www.atariage....-lah-ga-galaga/ I typically pronounce it in the same way the Intellivoice guy does: "Beeeee se-vuhn-teeeen Baaaaw-muhr," with a slight robotic timbre. It's been in my head ever since I played it the first time. (As a related anecdote, I recently told my Father that I own an Intellivision and that if he ever visits we could play some of the old games together. His immediate response was, "sure, I'd love to play... Beeee se-vuhn-teeeen Baaaaw-muhr!" I guess I'm not the only one then.) -dZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 I do say it the second way sometimes, but in my head, my family wouldnt know what the hell i was talking about! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
townparkradio Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I thought it was cute to repeat the early speech synthesis until that unfunny AVGN did a sequence which got posted all over the internet where he and the game said "Bawmer" to each other for a minute. He then said "what the fuck is that shit" or something similar. i'll tell you what "the fuck that shit is", junior: a really good attempt considering the technology of the time at making the voice sound something like a southeastern US human instead of a robot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
townparkradio Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 And for someone born in 1980, you'd think he'd know better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+LS650 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Yeah, that is his shtick. Personally I can't stand the AVGN - I think he deserves a hard swift kick in the 'nads - but I guess there are lots of people who like him. Apparently the AVGN recently tried to raise funds to make an "AVGN goes on a road trip" movie - and he actually raised $325,000 to make it. http://www.indiegogo.com/angry-video-game-nerd-the-movie Unbelievable. I guess it's true that a fool and his money are soon parted! I can't see how else the AVGN would raise hundreds of thousands of dollars to make more of his shit videos.

He's gonna have a fun time trying to discipline his children about language and respect once they find the Internet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
