Ridiculous mispronouncations of words used in games

Games are often full of rather complicated words to spell or type. For example in Warcraft 3: Dota i saw someone calling item called Aghanim's scepter - Afganistan scepter. Or Sea monster Leviathan - Labyrinth xD


i wonder if any of you know any good 'transformations'. star wars ones would be highly appreciated too.

It's not game-related, but it really gets on my nerves when people pronounce 'sudo' like 'pseudo'. It's even part of the name, you're telling it to DO something... :mad:

This isn't really from a game, well it is in a way but one of my friends on WoW, when we first jumped on Vent after knowing each other for like three months didn't call me Senor, he called me "seenor" and he just wouldn't stop saying it.

Come on now, every Generation X boy wanted to be Luke Skywalker. Is it because he was a whiney farm boy from some backwater hack planet? No, it's because he was a FREAKING JEDI. He could block lasers with his lightsaber. He could levitate droids & rocks & crap with his mind. Come on, he choked two pig dudes with just a simple gesture. He cut off Darth Vader's hand and kicked him down a flight of stairs. He got his @$$ zapped by lightning from the geezer Emperor, stood up and said "s'at all you got b!tc#??"

Ironclad (in addition to its historical significance) is a naval unit on Civ III!
