Pronunciation
How would yoy manage to pronounce the names of cities around the world, the main thing that rose the question is the episode of Game TheoryGame Theory, the comments section was the main thing.
Note: If some of the foreign members can come it would be nice, like how to properly pronouce a place like melbourne & This

Mel-burn. Simple.
EDIT: Some say Mel-born, but I don't think there are any other ways to say it.

Still what about other cities & places around the universe, how could I manage to even guess correctly how to say them?
Make an honest attempt to pronounce it, and ask people who know how. Like most skills, asking people who know how to is generally the way to improve.
Melbun or Melbum is acceptable.
Also how do you people pronounce Milder? Is it like the superlative form of "mild" or is it more like miller?

I go with Mile dur. That's why Spicier is a character in Long DMOD Name.
I've always thought of it as mill durr. I'm Finnish though, so I'm weird. The pun definitely works better with mild err.
I also pronounced it mill-durr since that follows the more typical rules for English pronunciation. Though, the name Mild-er Flatstomp is more amusing.
It never occurred to me that one could pronounce Milder as milder. It does sort of make sense though.
His heroic power is mild though. A pig farmer completely outclassed him by the time he caught up.
Milder even had knights with him to the darklands, right? His leadership is too mild to tackle the darklands as well.

His insults may of been a little mild too, he didn't throw rocks at Dink & the pigs or anything physical. I always went with mill-dur too, if Seth was here he could solve the weekly debate.
Also how would you even try to pronounce things like foreign characters, they don't look like English in the slightest?

No he wouldn't, because it's Mile dur.
No it doesn't, it sounds like Milder's name.
@Metatarsel, how would you come across that info, I've never heard of anything like that?
It's possible RTSoft adapted his name from Mulder off of the X-files. I don't know for certain though.
Darn it, now his name changes in different countries, I don't want to know whats the next M_lder.
Why would it be mill dur? Mild is a word. You don't say milld.
Who would name their child milder with the though of mild in their head, unless they conceived him in an orgy of mild salsa & wanted to praise him.
Names do not need to consist of words. That's not how it works.
Also, milled is a word, specifically a past tense of the verb of the performing action of a mill, like a windmill or watermill. It may not be spelt the same, but there are hundreds of other words in the English language that aren't said the same either.

That may be so, but there is no indication that Milder ever worked at a mill, but there is plenty of mildness.
He is Mile der.
He is Mile der.
You get your name at birth. This isn't My Little Pony. You don't get named after what you will eventually do.
Fictional characters are often named after things, are an amalgamation of certain words, or are named after a corruption of words.
In this case, Milder Flatstop -
Milder - he is the mild Dink. He got to the Darklands, but got his knights killed and lost to Seth.
Flatstomp - his flat stomping made a lot of noise which awakened the Darklands dragons which killed all the knights. It is also a reference to his seething anger if you choose the dick option in the final battle.
But seriously, if it's Mill durr, I'm still calling him Mild er. So much better.

I never realised that it could be pronounced 'Mild-er' either. Probably because it would be a terrible name.
How do you guys pronounce 'Earth'? I read it as 'Err-th'. But my cousin says it's actually more like 'Err-hs' or something like that.

Well if it isn't old Strick-er. How do you do, bro?
I believe it's pronounced 'Err-th'. It's a corruption of the latin 'ursa' meaning bear. The spelling has changed significantly since then. [/sarcasm]
Planet = Bear
But it's clearly a corruption of Ursaring, the pokemon.

I was genuinely curious about the pronunciation. I'm Indian and I'm not sure about how westerners pronounce words(more like I can't tell the difference between what you say and what I say)

Ah, the complications of of english language... Don't get me wrong though, I bet Milder would be translated to Milderaux in French. For most of us slavs, reading is simple.
What a pandering asshole.

I'm saying that he's being dishonest in the way he appeals to certain people like when Marvel gender swapped Thor to pander to the new wave feminist idiots.
Apparently they're doing something "controversial" with Hulk now. Watch him become transgender/fabulous/an "otherkin", not to actually support them, but to appear like they are to gain readership through lies. If they do support transgender/fabulous people, good. But I feel like they're just pandering to people. Duck otherkin, by the way.

How is a sketch about over-pronouncing foreign words pandering? Even after your rather colorful and digressive definition, you haven't proved how the sketch was, as you put it, "dishonest".
EDIT: Okay, I think I get what you're saying... though it's certainly a stretch of the definition. I think you're reading too much into an absurdist sketch and ascribing motivations to a character that likely hasn't been developed much beyond the fact that he over-pronounces foreign words.
If there was a word I would have used instead, it would be "pretentious".

Maybe, but that was so really low quality obnoxious humour regardless.
...if you can even call it humour.

Humor is subjective. That said, I found the sketch only mildly amusing.
Mamma mia it'sa hilarious!
It is called College humour for a reason, it's suppose to make people of the college level laugh, or people who would at least get the adult idea.
Wait, was that a college humour video?
Holy shit, that explains why it sucked so bad.

... I had hoped it'd be one of these.
