BigRedKitty: Chimaeras
Daniel Howell contributes BigRedKitty, a column with strategies, tips and tricks for and about the Hunter class, sprinkled with a healthy dose of completely improper, sometimes libelous, personal commentary.
Ki-MEER-Uh.
Seriously, we honked up the pronunciation of this one, and big time. But it's much too late to remaster the silly movie, so just bear with us as we say it improperly. Again and again and again. Please?
The other thing we flubbed is the "or" part of our macro:
/use [pet:cat/chimaera] roast clefthoof
Not a comma, but a slash. Tell ya something about making movies... post-production is a PITA.
Chimaeras are next in our look at the Wrath of the Lich King hunter-pets. This is the first Cunning pet we've tried, and we like this tree a bunch. The Chimaera may not be as pretty or as big or as exotic as the other pets we've reviewed, but it has something special in the form of its Froststorm Breath spell. It's a doozie!
And because we haven't talked about the best way to tame a new hunter-pet, or the best macros to use to feed your pets, we're gonna throw that bit in as a bonus. Just for you!
You are invited to download the YouTube version (44MB) of this movie here, and the full-sized version (170MB) here.
As always, a great big Thank You to the WoW Insider editors for allowing us to publish this movie both here and on our little blog at the same time!

Completely and utterly OT, but thank you for trying to fix the general mass's mispronunciation of that word. Hearing "Chim-air-uh" was making my ears bleed...

This guy talks like I'd imagine every hunter to talk. Riddled with ADD and annoying as ****
Karl Aug 18th 2008 9:18AM

It is kai-mare-uh
FailedNinja Aug 18th 2008 10:34AM
According to the link it's ki-meer-uh
"ki" like a tool kit, not "kai" like a kite
"meer" like a meerkat, not "mare" like a horse
I'm not sure if my way is also acceptable.
(sorry if this double posts)

Don't feel too bad, there's a two store chain of comics/gaming stores in Wisconsin called "Chimera Hobby Shop" that's been around for like 30 years, and regularly runs TV commercials, and they always pronounce THEIR OWN NAME as...
"Shy-Meer-Uh"
I've been the annoying customer a few times and informed them they mis-pronounce their own name, and basically got a "well, it's how we say it."
Having said that, it's a cool store... just perturbs me that they don't bother to do something like that correctly.

All the "hoorays!" in the beginning made me think he was doing show and tell with a kindergarten class.
Informative none-the-less.

Whats the point of linking to a subpage that's still empty?
ie the: "http://www.wowinsider.com/category/bigredkitty/"
ScorchHellfire Aug 18th 2008 12:52PM
kinda weird that chimaeras get that froststorm thing when most of them have poison spit... or the occasional one with just lightning (like they were in war 3) not sure why the frost part but whatever... i want one of those winterspring chimaeras now!
