A couple of months ago I was asking some questions on the forums and mentioning I was preparing a short presentation about Dwarf Fortress. Thanks for your replies, especially to FleetingFrames and PatrickLundell. The presentation was good, so I decided to refactor it into a short youtube video about Dwarf Fortress.

Cool, watched it through and left a like.

I did not leave a like, because I don't do that, but liked in this more æthereal way.

Thanks guys  I don't care about youtube likes or views, I can tell from the comments and feedback that people like it. Btw, a fellow DF player on reddit noticed that I mispronounced "Minotaurs" (like Mine-o-tors). I could not live with that. I have now reauploaded a corrected version. Just in case you wonder what happened to the old link. There's no new content, just this fix. No need to watch it again. The link in OP now point to the corrected version.

As far as I'm concerned, both pronunciations (assuming you changed it to "minn-o-tors", haven't checked) are as valid.  Us English  tend to call the island "mine-oss", after all.

I picked up some other uttered word, outlying as rather strangely pronounced, but you ought to hear my attempts to speak anything other than English, so I have no valid complaints to make..

Minotaur is pronounced 'mine'-o-tor in the UK. 'Min' actually seems closer to the original greek minotaurus though (although wikipedia says that's 'meen' which is slightly different again).

Dang, I should have checked more thoroughly. I only checked on forvo.com. A couple of days ago I only saw two pronunciations with minn from the US. Now I see that there are some with mine from the UK as well. I guess I can make the original video accessible again. Thanks guys.
