What happen? lol Never played the game, and didn't even know about it until like summer last year when I posting here.
I just ran the entire intro transcript from that game through the Word XP grammar checker. It only found one error... The correct form of the sentence is: All your base is belong to us. OR All your bases are belong to us. Thanks Microsoft! We dodged a bullet there...
I finally lost my connection to reality. I haven't got the faintest clue what this thread is about. I'll be in the padded room if you need me...
Ah sweet monkey of spuriosity, Allow me to remedy your curiosity. Zero Wing is a video game which has a fan base many times larger than the number of people who have actually played it. Oddly, its fame comes not from its gameplay, since I understand that it was very ordinary playwise. However, its introduction was so ghastly that it lives on through time, even though few people now own a Sega Genesis (which I believe was the preferred platform for Zero Wing). See, most people are pretty sure that it was translated to English by someone who didn't really speak English... the grammar is terrible to the point of being incomprehensible. As such, since some of the wording is almost biblically powerful in its obtuseness, the Zero Wing intro is now famous even though the game itself is not. The most memorable passage from the intro, and the one you usually hear, is the line from Cats (the villain, who has a metallic, vocorded voice in the intro): "How are you gentlemen? All your base are belong to us." This deeply threatening line, with its unspoken volumes of smugness and control, has become part of the modern canon of popular software phraseology. Also, someone made a music video which brought together many of the modified photos that contain the second line. So now hopefully you will no longer fuss, when someone says "HEY SPURIUS ALL UR MONKEYS R BELONG TO US WTF LMAO!" --- Captain: What happen? Mechanic: Somebody set up us the bomb. Operator: We get signal. Captain: What! Operator: Main screen turn on. Captain: It's you! Cats: How are you gentlemen! Cats: All your base are belong to us. Cats: You are on the way to destruction. Captain: What you say! Cats: You have no chance to survive make your time. Cats: HA HA HA HA Captain: Take off every 'Zig'! Captain: You know what you doing. Captain: Move 'Zig'. Captain: For great justice. --- By the way, in this game you fly a Zig.
The game itself is quite cool, too. Or is my pleasure from that game derived from the masochistic pleasure of squeezing my ass out to beat round three? :bugeye:
