"All you base are belong to us"

[The Wraith]

Can someone explain this to me? I don't understand what it's supposed to mean. Did they intentionally use improper English? What the hell does that phrase mean?

One of the guys at TsN accidentally said that in a shoutcast, and ever since it's been pretty big... at least thats how I understand it.

Ok, still fuzzy...what is TsN?

OK, I can shed some light on this one.

The line is from a poorly translated Sega or Super Nintendo game called Zero Wing. A screen capture of it appeared on the forums at Something Awful, where I tend to hang out a lot. It became something of a catchphrase for SA and its readers, and its readers include some fairly big time game designers such as Cliff Bleszinski (Cliffy B, from the Unreal and UT series) and Levelord (Duke Nukem 3D and FAKK 2). So now it's begun to spread across the gaming community as well.
