All your base are belong to us!

WTF?!

I'm sorry.. Last time I practiced English was two seconds ago, but for the life of me, I just can't figure out what you said..
 
Smiling...

Do a web search for that phrase and get the full history :)
This is esoteric knowledge that will make you appear clever in trendy bars and coffee houses that young technophiles hang out in... Be sure to check out the Flash movie.
 
I am so glad you said it gridiron

I have been speaking that same language most of my life and I too can't figure this one out.


Damn, back to the blonde thingy excuse.
 
Flash movie..

Ohh.. You're talking about that B-grade Flash file I saw on ConsumptionJunction.com.. With the trendy Jap-animation.. Still couldn't figure out what the hell that little movie was trying to convey.. I suppose I'll have another look..

Actuallt that was hot from February till may. now its old. You say that and you will look like a geek.

teh new internet thing it the tourist of death guy, but he iis on his way out as well.
 
searched, found

So it is some kind of video game from the little bit I read before I closed the window.


Still means absolutely nothing to me though.


But thanks anyway.

My 14yr old already thinks I am cool as do his friends even though I didn't know this.
 
February till May??

The entire idea behind it was that it was an absolutely horrible translation.

It really wasn't popular at any one given time. It moves around when someone decides to spread the love. It's not the most amazing thing that you'll ever see, but it's great for a couple laughs.

Anyone that hasn't seen it can go to:

I know I know but I actually find it rather annoying :D
It's bad enough I have to see people talk like that in game more or less on a board Grins
 
Ravenloft and myself sat and watched that when we got it in the newsletter a while back. Laughed our asses off too. :D

We especially dug the cheap 8 bit animation in the begining.
 
Somebody set us up, the bomb.

You have no chance to survive. Make your time.

For greater justice, take off every zig.

Ha ha ha ha.


God I still love that.. passe in the hip trends as it may be.

My favorite is the black billboard that attributes the quote to God (ala outdoor signs in the US that a wealthy fundamentalist Christian has used to post his own versions of messages from God - for our non-US community members).

And doesn't the notion of coolness or trendiness rely on the shared illusion that 'cool' as my group defines it actually means something? Cool in Manhattan rave bars meant pacifiers, Kool-aid, and zombies swallowing extacy... And how come rural white kids across the Midwest are now wearing baggy jeans falling down their thighs, while urban kids in Queens and Brooklyn have moved through two other styles already? And Yuppie cool has moved passed Cosmopolitans and is still (I think) embracing Merlot... :)

So whatever your preferred brand of cool is these days (and your 14 year old son's Kymberly!)... I hope you're all having the best of fun with it!

Peace,

Pan

Oh, for fucks sake, will you two get a room already??


:p
 
Yeah, Zero Wing. The translations were the best part of the game.

They translated it from Japaneese to French cos one of the guys knew French and then used a French -> English dictionary to go from there.

Basically it means "I have taken over you base. Your entire base belongs to my faction"

The other big one is in the original metal gear. Snakes says "Uh oh! The Truck have started to move!"
