Did anyone else pronounce Sega as "Seaga" before they heard it in-game?
>>3296052
No.
I think Italians did, because "Sega" in italian means masturbation, and australians, because they're retards.
No because I was privy to this gem of an ad.

Id rather be an austrailian or italian then a balding fat americuck
>>3296078
I don't see a big difference between yanks, ozzies and britbongs, all retarded anglos.

Spotted the German that's still buttmad he lost two wars in a row almost a century ago.
I never heard it in game as "seaga" get your fucking hearing checked. I pronounced it more like "sayga" because of game voices until the "extreme" commercials got me saying "seGA"
>>3296052
American English phonetics would dictate that Sega is pronounced Sayga.
I mean, do you say Seat as Sea-at?
Hello sir, welcome to Outback Steakhouse...
Please take a sea-at...
What?
a SEA-AT!!!
Are you... Are you vomiting?
SEA-AT!!!
>>3296151
>say-at
Yeah, that's totally norman.
>>3296069
italian here. yeah, we called it sega as in "say-ga"
we use the word "sega" for pic related, which is also used to indicate the act of masturbation
also, fun fact, in the first half of the 90's, most of the tv vidya commercials we used to get were sega. most kids didn't even know what a "nintendo" was. a lot of popular italian comedians and footbal players used to be sega's testimonials

Why are Italians so hilarious? One time I came back to my apartment to find one I'd never met before using my shower. He was a coworker (Boss's nephew or some shit running from some trouble back East) of a friend of mine who had access to my place. Apparently the guy was sure I wouldn't mind. I didn't really but it was weird. I also had a Russian guy who I knew because he worked at a neighboring store just walk in and into my bedroom while I was sleeping. Fucking boundaries, People!
>Say-Gah
or
>Seh-Gah
?

It's Sah-Gehy

No, nobody did, because their ads literally say their company name out loud, and so does the two best selling software on the Genesis.
>>3296489
What does the fucking Bible have to do with Sega?
>>3296518
Your memes were never funny or clever australiakun, they just make people call you out.
>>3296536
I laughed
I always pronounced it sage, you fucking homo.
>>3296536
>le australia strawman
Still forcing this shitty meme? Jesus kid, get a life.
>>3296570
I wish australia-kun was just an imaginary person.
Though I don't buy that's he's an oldfag like others believe. No way an old person would shitpost this much and post reaction pics from fucking Watamote. I just think he's a youngfag from /v/ who watched too many youtube and got his brain rotten with console wars he's never lived himself. I could be wrong, but I seriously can't picture anyone older than 20 shitposting that much.
>>3296052
Still do, m8. Old habits and all that. At least i know it's wrong and that puts me above the deaf yanks who actually think 'sayga' is correct.
>>3296913
>implying there was a console war in Australia
>>3296052
Its "Seaga" in game though...
>>3296052
No, my Mega Drive came with Sonic 1 so I always pronounced it like the intro did.
>Say Ga
>>3296052

in new zealand everyone called it seaga even after games with digitised voice of its proper pronunciation came out.

What, you mean like the Spanish car company?
>>3296075
Wouldn't you actually be plugging a Sega into the TV?
>>3298607
I pronounced it SEE-GAHUUU just like my chinese cartoons

I just assumed the extreme sega ads started with "sega does" but I was mistaken.

England is wrong. They love adding random R's to their words because they're retarded.

Feel free to update it.
I never pronounced it either Sea- or Sey-. I always said Seh- because that's what I always heard it as. Still to this day, I do not hear that "y" sound in the Sonic intro.
