It's been a long time since I've paid attention to WoW so I'm not sure why just about every reference to Cataclysm via internet coverage and podcasts is pronounced "cattacklysm."  Am I missing out on some zany internet meme? Is this the next Leeroy Jenkins? Or is it a big dumb coincidence?  

some chick made a video and couldn't prounounce it,  and it was posted on a giantbomb news article by Jeff.   The chick removed her video from youtube because apparently it went viral and she was too embarrassed.

There is just something a little off and creepy about that girl.

    Also everything else Ryan pronounces incorrectly is actually pronounced to the accent of an Ashkenazi Jew. Think of Doctor Zoidberg from Futurama. "

Catackalysm is the only way to pronounce it from now on.

I have only just seen this video now and didn't understand before.... Poor girl, however it is fucking hilarious haha.

Ya that kid saying it wrong repeatedly created a meme.
Cuz itz kewl to speel worng!
=P
No seriously though, it's a meme I find amusing more than most.

Also, the fact that the video is cut every 5 fucking seconds makes it even more hilarious. 
 
Anyway 
 
HOW I GET TO CATACKLYSM LAND?

She seems unable to say more than three words in a row without a cut.  Brilliant.

All of those cuts.
 
Why?  Why?

" There is just something a little off and creepy about that girl. "

Somebody seems to watch too many YouTube bloggers and thinks that cutting every three seconds makes your content seem better than it is... Except she completely stops talking in-between the cuts.

I was starting to think this meme got old until I watched that video again. 
Gold.

Once heard, it cannot be unheard.

Wow, I was fucking convinced that video was fake/staged.  Cant believe she made that genuinely...I thought there were so many cuts because she kept bursting out laughing.  

When I first saw that video, I got the impression that she had just come off some hard drugs and didn't fully recover.

I am still pretty sure all of her videos are just trolling. I mean come on.

Permission to speculate?
 
It seems like one of the major reasons this video became so popular is because it is the perfect microcosm for what World of Warcraft now is, for better or for worse.  It's an alien amalgam that baffles outsiders yet attracts anyone who recognizes what a popular  and money-making contraption it is.  Often it's enough to mention it by name or in spirit (as much as I respect the talent in The Guild, it's certainly guilty of this), but because the young lady in the video can't even get the name right, it serves as a perfect satire for this phenomenon even if it was done sincerely.

  Is this the right place to post this?  Good Lord. "

I thought the video had to be a parody at first, then I found out she was serious and laughed harder...
poor girl

Hahahahaha, her background is multiple pieces of colored construction paper taped together. This chick is golden in all the wrong ways. "

Breaking news!

its amazing how they can make that robot seem so human, still some minor bugs though 

I have trouble saying the word normally, thanks to this video. LIke I have to force myself, and it takes a full 20 seconds to figure out.
