There are perhaps a few people left out there who are not familiar with just why geeks find the phrase “All your base are belong to us” so funny. I will attempt to explain: In the 90’s video games were making their way into living rooms across north america, and as adolescents scrambled to get the latest games, the game producers around the world were happy to meet the increasing demand by pumping up their production schedules.

A major source for these games was Japan, and in the rush to translate the storylines for the english-speaking markets, some, um…quality assurance steps were missed. The result was games such as Zero Wing that had broken english phrases that would later become iconicized by now twenty-to-thirty-something geeks (including myself) that nostalgically remember the hours spent on these games.

Now that this same group is having babies of their own, what better way to commemorate the generational transition than something like this nerdy onesie? When I saw it, I seriously almost fell of my chair laughing… I think I may pre-purchase one for any future child of mine because it’s just too awesome to pass up.
