All Your Base--In Civilization III?!?

All right, time to get to the thing that really gave me the whole idea for this blog. This is a great hybrid of two really, really cool things that were combined to make an awesome thing that nobody but me has ever seen before. Or at least, no one's ever put it online before. Behold, Sid Meier integrates All Your Base into his best-selling Civilization series:And you're thinking, "That's it? Some weird blurry picture?" Sorry for the horrible quality, but it was the best I could do at the moment. I couldn't believe it when I saw this. All right, here's the background for those of you who don't know about All Your Base Are Belong To Us:
When the Japanese game Zero Wing came out for the Sega Genesis in Europe, Toaplan rushed the translation of the opening scene to meet the deadline, and the result was a terribly butchered English cut scene. In 2001, Zero Wing was rediscovered and resulted in an internet phenomenon with the flagship phrase, "All Your Base Are Belong To Us." The resulting Flash animation sporting the title, created by Bad-CRC, swept the internet. And it is awesome. Here it is:

Apart from Japanese game companies butchering the English language, this photo up here also depicts another of the coolest things ever, made right here in the US. (Sorry if you're from another country; didn't mean it that way.) Anyway, it's Sid Meier's Civilization III for the PC. The game is regarded as the best strategy game ever made. That is, until Civ IV came out a couple years ago. Sid Meier is the god of strategy games, and the Civilization series is amazing. You need to try it if you haven't yet. It's well worth the money.

Well, that's all for now. Sorry this took so long to come out with...I ran into some trouble getting the video. But it's here now, and that's all that matters. See ya in a few days.
