Many of you, gamers and 733+ hackerz especially, will be familiar with the term "all your base are belong us", but how many of you know where it actually comes from? Turns out its a Japanese Engrish blunder that the geek hordes quickly made famous. It was originally used in a badly translated Sega Genesis (thats Master System, right? Sorry, my early console history is a little sucky. All I had was an Amstrad, then straight to a 386 PC) game called Zero Wing, check it out on the video.
Do you know any other classic geek terms and phrases that came from Japanese?

The only reason I know that is because I used to lurk around Homestarrunner.com and Strong Bad had a uber silly game of pong (sort of) that said 'All your base belong to us' when you died. It also said 'Your head S-plode!' Is that a geek phrase?
