All Your Base Are Belong To Us

I saw this phrase on the internet last night when I clicked to a website from one of the links in somebodys post. This morning before I woke up my mind started dreaming about this phrase and I was trying to figure out what this "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" phrase meant. So I did a search on the internet and found many references to it, including mainstream media. I've heard of this phrase before, when I never had internet. I've only had the internet in my living quarters for about 8 months now. I understand that this phrase is some type of internet phenomenon. Well, this might sound crazy, but it feels like this phrase was calling my attention to it, almost like it was alive. My feeling is that the internet has an consciousness of its own and that it has included myself as one of its own. It's strange when I think about it. What do you think about this "all your base are belong to us" phrase?

Here's what I think:
All your base...

This may help you understand the phrase.

To the best of my knowledge the intro is a really old Japanese video game that was translated to English rather poorly.

It is interesting to know that this phrase has captivated the attention of the media to the extent that it has. I also find it interesting that it has made the front cover of Time Magazine. Anyway, it seems like it has brought so much people together for some odd reason.

This was the biggest thing on the 'net about a year ago. Please for the love of god, don't let me hear the music. It took me months to get it out of my system.

"They set us up the bomb", Aaaargh!

*tears hair out*

I did like the website with hundreds of AYB photos though.

Last time I checked... i do believe these were cheat codes to the Age of Empires game.

Brought people together??? How as it brought people together?

I thought it was only a phrase used by geeks and gamers.

When I read before bed (yes when I do it) I often end up dreaming that i'm reading (when i'm part asleep part awake in morning) it seems as if i'm actually readin the story as it's written but it's all made up by me.

It's a bit like a movie in my head of the story that seems very real. But it's just because it's on my mind that I start drteaming about it, I assume your in the same position, it's on your mind it comes into your dreams.
