All Your Base Are Turned Five

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the make-your-time dept.

Subm writes "All your base are turned five! According to AYBABTU: The History, 'June 5, 2000: The Zero Wing Dub Project is posted at OverClocked - the first original AYB humor.' Before then there was only an oddly (brilliantly?) translated game. But five years ago, someone set up us the bomb!" The Flash Video is, of course, still available.

    *sigh* I remember when my friends (who had broadband, and I had dialup and I think was grounded for a while from the internet for downloading some *cough* pictures) were talking about AYBABTU. One even got a bumper sticker for his car. For some reason I was under the impression some Chinese hackers had hacked the CIA's website and had meant to be "badass" by declaring that they had owned the US's intelligence-gathering office. However, in a stroke of irony, they employed horrid grammar.

    It wasn't until I was ungrounded that I found out the truth.

    I'm not sure which version I like better -- hackers screwing up the pr00f of 0wn4g3, or that the Japanese could not translate to English.

    As a sidenote, I just bought myself a shirt that says "REFLECT BABOON it does no matter where you come from" and one that says "HIPPOpoTAMUS brother it takes care when playing GEE THANKS" here in Japan this week. This is of course balanced out by the kanji mistakes on Tian's site.
