Perhaps the most trivial of everything that was discussed but certainly the most entertaining… There was a moment where someone gave Octus heat for the way he pronounced “Sam Byrne”. Then he and Dana started talking about how they have pronounced it since before Gears 3. The chat started blowing up telling them they were wrong, even at one moment suggesting that we as a community have been misreading the spelling all these years. Personally, I too started questioning my own reality… could I have slipped into a Mandela Effect like wormhole and now reside in alternate universe where I have had this characters name wrong all these years?
You all still with me?
Queued up clip here!
Some suggested that its meant to be pronounced as ‘By-Wren’.
Some suggested it’s ‘Burn’.
Some even suggested ‘Brine’.
As a man of commitment, I decided to go to the only source that could answer this with absolute certainty…
The very women who created this character in the first place… Karen Traviss.
I am pleased to report that not only did I receive an answer, but she is also a delightfully pleasant person.
