The Fan Subbers did a decent job with this frame:

However, the pirates did a lousy job with the same frame:

While the pirate version fails to convey the proper message, it is funnier than the Fan Subbers' version! :D :D :D :D :lol: :lol: :lol:

Wow, that's some top-notch engrish.
Here's a couple sites about that stuff.

some mis-translations turn into well know sayings

like "all your base are belong to us" and from the same game "somebody set us up the bomb"

Heh, my friend sorta started that whole Zero Wing thing with his site Zany Video Game Quotes, tho he's sad and embarrased about it. It was a common phrase on the old message board before any of the really big stuff happened with it.

Referring to the first posting in this thread, I remember a topic about whether or not Atom breathes page 5 of new powers? thread. Dr. Frag & I took opposite positions, he taking the negative view, while I took the positive. Looking at this scene, we see Atom verbally communicating while surrounded by the void of space. Thus, there is no medium through which his voice may travel. Yet, he speaks and they hear! Moreover, he has no problems speaking and hearing in either outer space or under water! :lol:
