The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Man, this game REALLY benefited from the games they played before it (they quit out of The Dwarves halfway through, then played Tower of Guns). To me it just seems okay. It's certainly polished, but I feel like I've played it before so many times.
The idea has potential, though. I'm imagining using this mechanic for something like multiple "enemies" (bubble groups) on the screen at once, with strategic weak points and different bubbles that the player can actually choose the order of (like swapping weapons/characters).
Chimera is a tough one because that's genuinely how people who've never heard it aloud pronounce Chimera
I also vaguely remember that modern greeks pronounce it a bit different than either the "correct" or "frequently mistaken" English pronunciations. Something to do with the K sound being less hard and blended with a bit more with a breathy H sound.
I'm pretty sure I still say wyvern incorrectly. Chimera at least comes from Greek mythology (more popular than Welsh, generally), and sees modern use in genetics.
Also, Mike ignoring the potential of his booster to make some insane shots made me sad.

Oh. I always thought that was the wrong pronunciation. I mean, I use it too because I find it easier, but I always thought the proper one was 'shee-meur-ah', like in this clip (around 0:22).

Considering their love of pronouncing things wrong on purpose, this is a very safe bet.

And it's not a word that comes up in casual conversation all that often. I said it incorrectly till I was out of college.
I said "wyvern" incorrectly until last year. And I'm Jerry's age.

Yeah, it's pronounced 'kai-mera' right? Nyuk nyuk.
Y-yes?
Is that not right, either? Because then I say it wrong too...
That's how they said it on the X-Files.
