dtewi on 22 January 2008

HOW!?!?!?!??!?! It is bugging the hell out of me. Do you spell it or pronounce it?

I don't know...but I know you don't spell it Ioi.

i always just prounonced it as the letters like Eye-ooh-Eye



Garcian Smith on 22 January 2008

I believe it's "Yoy," pronounced as one syllable. (In other words, take "oy," and add an extra "ee" sound to the beginning.)



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

That's a capital I, not a lowercase l.

 I know....but I'm of the mind that his name is more of a picture anyways, so capitalizing it changes the name completely.

i-o-i.

 same - just say "i-o-i"

Well, I just pronounced it i-o-e, it just made sence that way.

Although, it struck me that he may have chosen a name with this kind of confusion around it to stick with the secrecy. Although, I have no idea about what he has to be secret about (excluding sources).
