Cast your votes, folks! What is the funniest poor translation from Japanese (or whatever) to English in the video game world?
My vote:
(From Resident Evil 1)
"Here's a lockpick. It might be handy if you, the master of unlocking, take it with you." - Barry
My brother and I repeated the line for weeks, laughing every single time.

I'm sure a ton of posts will be from Zero Wing (you know, All your base blah blah blah). The first one I ever saw was at the end of 10,000 mile rally (?): Congraturations. Me and my friend would laugh about that one for a long time.

Nothing tops the translations from Working Designs. Toss out the original Japanese script and put in as many dick, fart, gay, and fat jokes as possible. Nice job Vic.
