    How to pronounce Gronigo and other lifesaving tips

    Hi,

    I'm Gronigo. I noticed that a lot of people wonder how to pronounce Gronigo. Before I give you the answer, some background is needed.

    I chose this name in a hurry. I had played the demo for a short while and I decided to buy the game. My buddies were playing when I got it and I was in a hurry to join them. I chose the first name that came to mind. It was Gronigo.

    I didn't make this name up. Gronigo was the hero of a french canadian TV show when I was a kid. See attached picture for proof.

    [media]http://dl-client.getdropbox.com/u/13341/gronigo.jpg[/media]

    Gronigo is the bird puppet next to Happy Girl, Goatee Folklord and that pink abstract-shaped character called Turlusson. I don't remember much about this show, but I met Turlusson in my uncle's basement. At first I was excited, but then I was told it was broken and had to be repaired. It was the first time in my life that someone told me a thing that talked was not alive. I was distraught. I think my childhood ended this day.

    So basically, I'm not a fan of the puppet, but I'm stuck with the name since it's the character I unlocked everything with. So if you're still reading at this point, you're probably thinking that now should be the time for me to tell you how to pronounce Gronigo. I'm a man of my word, so here's a pretty close approximation of it:

    grow-nee-go

    But if you don't like it, you can call me Gron or anything you see fit.

    Your friendly bird-puppet assault medic,
    Gronigo

    You should not have had that last line. I commission thou "BIRD-PUPPET"(friendly or not is yet to be decided).

    Nice to meet you, I hope to see you in game.

    TG is the living proof that it's impossible to come up with a new forum topic. There is just absolutely no way I would have casually searched the forum for the "name pronounciation" thread. From now on, I, Gronigo, also known as BIRD-PUPPET, promise to perform a search for anything I might be about to write about, before I write it. I also promise that if I do start a duplicate thread, I'm willing to to be feathered, boiled and fed to the God of Dupe Threads.

    I always sound more serious and formal than I really intend. It's the way I learned to write, very difficult to change.

    Formal? Have you read from zhohar yet? What was the quote? Something like, "Zhohar has a penchant for taking the smallest things and making them epic"

    It's the mere volume and bass of his voice. Unmatched by any mortal being.

    They're basically the same, parrots are just a bit more interactive. And you don't need your hands to make them move.

    Merci beaucoup! You can actually hear the real Gronigo here:

    He's the one with the rumbling voice. The annoying sliding-flute is actually the pink cone box.
