In 2001, this amusing mistranslation spread virally through the Internet, bringing with it a slew of JPEGs and a movie of hacked photographs, each showing a street sign, store front, package label, etc. hacked to read All your base are belong to us or one of the other many supremely dopey lines from the game (such as Somebody set up usthe bomb!!! or What happen? ). When these phrases are used properly, the overall effect is both screamingly funny and somewhat chilling, reminiscent of the B movie They Live. The original has been generalized to All your X are belong to us , where X is filled in to connote a sinister takeover of some sort. Thus, When Joe signed up for his new job at Yoyodyne, he had to sign a draconian NDA. It basically said: All your code are belong to us. Has many of the connotations of Resistance is futile; you will be assimilated (see Borg ). Considered silly, and most likely to be used by the type of person that finds Jeff K. hilarious. Prev Up Next All hardware sucks, all software sucks.
