    • dnields, on 08/07/2008, -1/+17Hey, at least they spelled "you're" correctly.
      Unlike the endless rabble of ***** who continually type "your" when they are referring to the contraction of the words "you" and "are".
      • Sultis, on 08/07/2008, -6/+1Your so right....
      • BoonTobias, on 08/07/2008, -8/+2your gay

      • maximoo2, on 08/07/2008, -10/+1Your ... a grammar nazi.

        It's the Internet dude. Chill out.
      • ff1959, on 08/07/2008, -1/+2I believe that Paris Hilton can be "re-tarted" in some way, shape or form. Perhaps you meant "retarded", as in "developmentally challenged"?
  • Ninjabeats, on 08/07/2008, -7/+4Elf needs food badly.
  • bigtimenerd, on 08/07/2008, -6/+15I am Error!
    • WombleSlayer, on 08/07/2008, -0/+5That wasn't an error though. Later in the game a guy asks you do deliver something to someone named Error.
      • svendm, on 08/07/2008, -0/+3Yes it was, because the guy was supposed to be named "Errol".

        As most know, the Japanese have certain issues with distinguishing r/l.
  • AmyVernon, on 08/07/2008, -9/+9this one goes to 11.
    • jon7187, on 08/07/2008, -2/+2^^This is Spinal Tap reference. Nice
      • AmyVernon, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1thank you. obviously no one else got it, judging from how we both got dugg down. sheesh.
  • DawgMan93, on 08/07/2008, -7/+2This story is happy end, dugg.
  • Briii, on 08/07/2008, -9/+25is the digg comment system broken? everyone has 0 diggs
    • MasterOfHyrule, on 08/07/2008, -0/+8It seems to be broken. the first comment got a few diggs and it shows +1.
      • Briii, on 08/07/2008, -0/+5some one call jay or kevin!!
      • AnarkeIncarnate, on 08/07/2008, -0/+3What is Kevin Smith gonna do? Also, why get Jason Mewes into this?
    • DigitusAnonymus, on 08/07/2008, -0/+68Welcome to Communist Digg Beta. Where everyone's comments are equal.

      • vinibinini, on 08/07/2008, -0/+20I think you mean move along Comrade
      • DigitusAnonymus, on 08/07/2008, -0/+6Yes, but I edited my comment thus what you has seen is now unseen by the masses.
  • ssgOverlord, on 08/07/2008, -6/+1The miracle never happen.
    • MasterOfHyrule, on 08/07/2008, -2/+1huh?
      • ssgOverlord, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1A typo in Phoenix Wright 2. At the end there's a choice that will have you win, or lose. This typo was if you got it wrong, at the worst time for a typo.
  • MrM4nager, on 08/07/2008, -7/+1Connection problems?
  • gdehms, on 08/07/2008, -7/+8Why down? Cause the site can't! ... support 175 diggs without being over loaded with traffic.
    • ethon, on 08/07/2008, -3/+11*sigh*

      Diggs != hits
      • Okitaz, on 08/07/2008, -10/+3He didn't say 175 hits, he said 175 diggs.
      • PhoenixAvatar2, on 08/07/2008, -0/+6Of course he didn't. Ethon's saying that just because 175 people dugg it it doesn't mean that only 175 people clicked the link.
      • BlueSkyfish, on 08/07/2008, -0/+4But there is still a correlation between number of diggs and number of hits..

        Good servers might not go down until after 500 diggs, which are probably a few thousand hits. While crappy servers will go down in less.
    • MasterOfHyrule, on 08/07/2008, -1/+4http://masterofhyrule.is-the-boss.com/extra.php
  • pitdog, on 08/07/2008, -4/+4Why 11? Because it's there!
  • c0ncept, on 08/07/2008, -6/+8Went down faster than that girl on 17th street.
  • Tishiablo, on 08/07/2008, -6/+6Apparently it also takes 11 diggs to take down the server...
  • Thomaschaaf, on 08/07/2008, -6/+46MIRROR PLEASE!
  • Braums, on 08/07/2008, -5/+3broken link
  • Ozeki, on 08/07/2008, -10/+5The website is down. I presume that: "All you bases are belong to us?" is part of the list. Otherwise it kind of fails.
  • ExSlashdotter, on 08/07/2008, -10/+5sites down, but warcraft had better be in there for "player has been pwned".

    Fine, digg me down, but you can't argue that its one of the most famous typos in all of video game history. (also, an in correct translation is not technically a typo)
    • Syphon8, on 08/07/2008, -3/+4Player has been pwned was purposeful.
    • Scrappy1850, on 08/07/2008, -0/+4the pwn/own typo was from the original Quake, i believe. way before WoW at least.
      • sirbeta, on 08/07/2008, -1/+1It wasn't World of Warcraft, though. It was just Warcraft (the RTS). I'm pretty sure the widespread catching on was from Warcraft.
      • 801NvizioN, on 08/07/2008, -1/+1Pretty sure you're wrong, sirbeta.
    • Katana314, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1I can't believe we all left out:
      The "miracle" never happen...
      from Phoenix Wright: Justice for All.
  • beefchi, on 08/07/2008, -4/+18might not be the same one, but it's still funny

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdtzZ10TMjw
    • Spaceboy492, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1I don't think so, seeing it's from the same guy who summited the article.
      • MasterOfHyrule, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1It's not the same one... Though it uses a lot of them in the article.
      • eninem, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1dugg for summited, whether intentional or not
    • david76, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1Wow, that's irony for you. The video has a typo.

      "Video game typos, misspellings, and bad grammEr"
  • fatbas202, on 08/07/2008, -10/+1your stupid. Plus the site is down and I don't like when that happens. FALE!
  • silverzone, on 08/07/2008, -2/+11 A mirror would be pretty cool.
  • dkmccue, on 08/07/2008, -9/+10The site went down faster than a dress on prom night!
  • tEhKewleSt, on 08/07/2008, -2/+3"Some games are just has poor translation."
    Is that supposed to be ironic? Or is it simply instant grammar Nazi karma?
  • vilago, on 08/07/2008, -2/+17all your base are belong to us!
  • YoWhatDaFuxUp, on 08/07/2008, -1/+2You have no chance to survive make your time.

  • Doomsan, on 08/07/2008, -2/+3"If you watch the Angry Video Game Nerd, you'll should know about this already."

    what? you make a post about typos and you write "you'll should know", great job.
  • kyle415, on 08/07/2008, -1/+28"Some games are just has poor translation."

    I hope that was on purpose.
  • cdtoad, on 08/07/2008, -7/+5http://www.Engrish.com all the bust from very East
    • EarlOfLade, on 08/07/2008, -1/+1I just love that site...

    • mr209204, on 08/07/2008, -0/+0you mean Transrations.

  • DigitalKlepto, on 08/07/2008, -1/+3All your base are belong to us!

    • diggenerate, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1Agreed, mistranslation != a typo.
  • bobguyman, on 08/07/2008, -2/+2Any mirrors up? Site crashed with only 250 diggs...

  • PosedMagnet, on 08/07/2008, -0/+0Damn, it went down.

    Why 11? Becuse I cans! There be many typos in video game but these are top 11. How could they have mised them? Some games are just has poor translations.

  • luke16, on 08/07/2008, -4/+4Shawshank Redemption is my favourite film
    • spaceyraygun, on 08/07/2008, -0/+2garreth keenan invetigates
    • GiggleStick, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1After reading this article, how the hell can you still say that?

    WTF?
  • TWiThead, on 08/07/2008, -1/+2Not a bad list. As an "Angry Video Game Nerd" fan, I would have been disappointed if "Double Dragon 3" or "Ghostbusters" had been omitted.
  • RioMo, on 08/07/2008, -1/+1This thread hurted my brain.
  • Galaxylander, on 08/07/2008, -1/+1Worst or best, depending on how you look at it..
  • PosedMagnet, on 08/07/2008, -2/+9Why is this still getting dugg if the site is down?

    Guess it's just proof people don't actually read the content :P
    • goldni0020, on 08/07/2008, -1/+1yeap for the most part
    • BackEnThaWomb, on 08/07/2008, -0/+12wrong, when i digg ***** while the link is down, it's like a cheap bookmark, i go back to my diggs later and see if it is up.
    • sanosuke001, on 08/07/2008, -1/+3Maybe Digg should add a bookmark link, then? Owai... your browser already has one
      • sandiegodude, on 08/07/2008, -1/+4Yep! The browser at work, which doesn't do much good at home. Comments work too though. I'm looking forward to reading the list once the site is back up again, hopefully tomorrow.

        Not dugg/buried yet!
      • HouseCentipede, on 08/07/2008, -0/+2Foxmarks will sync your bookmarks between multiple computers.
  • pentomino, on 08/07/2008, -1/+1This is the first time in a while I've needed duggmirror, and it no longer seems to work.
