    not so much a boards question, as a general net question:
    i've always wondered what this "all your base are belong to us" thing people talk about, is about!

    Good question. I've been netting for about six years and have come across the phase numerous times, yet never bothered to find out what the phrase actually meant.

    This article seems to shed some light on it http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/28/17122.html

    It appears 'all your base' was something along the lines of the equally pointless '... ate my balls' series.

    Yeah, basically it's about the intense surrealism when japanese (or any language) is badly translated into english.

    I deal a lot with Tawainese h/w and have actually read the phrase "Gain pleasure as driver installed becomes"

    Really funny the first time though (especially if it was at the start of the game)

    Guests will remember to clean soiled toilet before leaving. No solids in toilet please:D
