help, i'm ignorant! i keep seeing this quote everywhere... what's the deal with it? whose quote is it? why is it so popular? what does it mean? pleeease. °_° |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

|
it's not popular mate!! it's something from years ago but i never investigated it further it's a quote from some japanese videogame i think |

Haa it's a famous undergroud demo/clip made by/for geeky geeks. I don't know the exact origin of the stuff. Take a poor techno beat, gfx a la (I use my faux-french idioms) albator ; the alien say 'all your base are belong to us' I think like a H4X0r would put 'owned' on a hacked web-page. This is the way I understand this internet oddity. |

Netlon's right. Back in the days of bad translations (We don't have that sort of thing now. Oh no! Games are released perfect.) There was some game released and that was one of the bad translations/typos in it. Type the phrase into google and you'll find shitloads of stuff. |

At the time they were. I cranked up my Spectrum the other day and I was just appalled that I coudn't code on it anymore. I may keep it going for a bit see if I can dust off the old programming fingers. |

I was rigth for the stupid techno beat ! Are you all sure it had nothing to do with the computer geeks/hackers comunity. Something like an anthem ? |

It does ring a bell what you said. I think they took it up as a kind of In-joke type thing. Spend a lot of time on the net and you see it crop up almost as much as WarEZ RuLEz!!! |

www.mp3.com/tlmom "All your base" is from 'Invation of the gabber robots' by 'The lazyest mem on mars' The video for it was taken partly from a badly transtaled computer game. hope this helps. |

not really an anthem.... It was just funny to see the translation and it became stupidly popular. THAT'S when the geeks moved in and kept the whole thing alive (like so many other things). yea? :) |

The soundtrack to Zero Wing, like many Toaplan games, is just super. Overshadows the opening cinematic for me. That game was too hard to be fun though. |

totally! I whole heartedly agree. |

"All your base are belong to us" (often referred to as "All Your Base" or abbreviated AYBABTU, AYBAB2U, or simply AYB) is an Engrish phrase that sparked an Internet phenomenon in 2001 and 2002. The text is taken from the opening cut scene of the English version of the 1989 Japanese video game Zero Wing by Toaplan. While the translation was generally poor, this phrase stood out as particularly humorous. From mid-to-late 2000 many images were digitally altered so that the phrase was added in, either obviously or discreetly, led by the Something Awful Forums[1]. Some of these images were compiled with those created and posted to a forum thread on TribalWar.com by their members; one of whom, known only as "Bad_CRC", created the AYBABTU Flash animation that was widely downloaded and later featured on various online and televised news outlets. The well-known quotations were taken from the European localization of the Sega Mega Drive port released in 1992. The arcade version of Zero Wing does not include the quote, though it does include an equally butchered ending; the intro for the PC Engine version has CD-quality spoken dialogue but has a completely different introduction. Zero Wing was never released in North America and therefore never came to the Sega Genesis, the North American version of the Mega Drive. AYB demonstrated the Internet's power to spread idiosyncratic messages rapidly that would never have been covered by the traditional mass media. Although the fad has died down, the phrase continues to be one of the most commonly quoted examples of "Engrish." The phrase is also often used as a battle cry on many competitive video games, particularly ones played over the Internet. Guild Wars has even made it a skill for the warrior class, where the character shouts "For Great Justice!" (a reference to another quote from Zero Wing, "Move 'zig.' For great justice.") and thereby causes adrenaline to replenish 50% faster for a short while. AYB is often cited as an example of a meme, a self-propa |

More like those days. All your base was kind of cool... I don't mind the song and I don't mind the game (I wish I could play it) but people who quote it too often just get annoying. Like Python... its was a great show/movie, but quoting it 5 billion times doesn't make it any funnier.. Unless you're a really hot nerd chick. |

By game I mean Zero Wing. Fair play to the translators, I'm sure they worked hard. |
