Firaxis steeps to a new low!!!

Sealman; I think people are upset, or at least those that get upset, because the fact that "All your bases are belong to us" pokes fun at Asians that can't properly speak English...

Personally, I feel that I could not speak any Asian language as well, my translations would probably get me killed and not laughed at. I am sorry you don't get the humor Sealman, I don't either, especially when a joke needs so much explaining.
 
Erm, duh. Oy! yo-yo brain! Over here! This game was published looong time ago! Text vewy old! Change it if you dont like it! Dont bother us! Honestly, enough posts dissing firaxis, few mind a bit of constructive critisism, but please. AYB? What does it matter? its slightly amusing, live with it. Developers have a somewhat lame sence of humor, big deal! }:-( Silly things to gripe about!

It's a quote from a game called Zero Wing, which apparently had a very bad Japanese-English translation before release in the US way back in 1989 or so.

It's bad enough when somebody/something stoops to a new low, but when they steep to it, that really burns my esophagus.

Ahhhh... I see said the blind man to his deaf dog and he picked up his hammer and saw

Even English speakers butcher the English language.:crazyeye:
 
I have to agree that the quality of writing in CivIII is indeed disappointing compared to SMAC... I miss the quotations from SMAC bad.

All Your Base. ^_^ hey, Firaxis has a twisted sense of humour. I've never seen it yet, but its sure a lot more understandable than putting a photo of an Elvis in the credits.

:lol: be careful in the steeping. I did it once and I developed gangrene.
