Just so long as you guys don't pronounce it "Wise" I'll be fine.BoringSupreez wrote:No, it's pronounced like "ease."Rurouni_Fencer wrote:'ees'. Next.

Maybe we could just have fewer nonsensical names for games? 
I'm looking at you Square-Enix.

Ys wasn't made up - it's a mythological city, and of French pronunciation. The 'y' is therefore a vowel, much like it is in "happy". I can't really see how it could be pronounced in any other way...

Smile: Played the hell out of my new C64 today
Frown: I'm not sure it'll survive the purging of my collection. If it doesn't it will be one of the last things I decide to let go though
Smile: Flight school is going excellent! Turns out I'm pretty damn good at it.
Frown: Purging my game collection is hard but I think it'll be good for me in the end. I felt pretty liberated after I listed a bunch of stuff on eBay today, and I'm sure I'll feel this even more so when they aren't taking up space on my shelf.

I think you'll be happy with your decision once you see the auctions start getting bids. Purging is a tough thing to do but I've never regretted it.RyaNtheSlayA wrote:Frown: Purging my game collection is hard but I think it'll be good for me in the end.

Re: What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?
Best way to pronounce Ys, take the word piece and drop the p. Sounds a bit different from "ease".
I've heard that some people pronounced it "wise" back in the day, but I was even worse. I called it Y.S. like an acronym.
@RyaNtheSlayA: Didn't you JUST get the C64?
