Possibly it's a bad translation that enhanced the humor of the original Japanese joke? That coupled with the American pop culture references (who tries to scare people by referencing game shows?) and overall acceptable grammar makes me think it was completely intentional.<BR/><BR/>But either way, the narrator is either a native English speaker, or at the very least a person with a strong enough grasp on the language to understand that what he's saying would be hilarious. He would have had ample opportunity to notify the translators of the comic genius they'd unwittingly unleashed on the world if it were just an error. So even assuming the bad translation angle they had to have known how ridiculous it would be, which means it was at least technically intentional even if that wasn't the original conception.Julianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05684168826773165763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7344068351653946740.post-10806945274847872752008-11-18T23:09:00.000-08:002008-11-18T23:09:00.000-08:00ah, I see.

I'm heading to Walmart tomorrow afternoon to pick up some mattress bags (why am I telling you this?) so there may be a chance that I will own the game by tomorrow night. Otherwise I'll hit you up some other night for a demo session. I REALLY want to try the co-op on this game.<BR/><BR/>I don't understand why the Xbox Live membership tiers are so ridiculous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7344068351653946740.post-15596236925881796792008-11-18T22:30:00.000-08:002008-11-18T22:30:00.000-08:00@thesimplicity: 8 PM eastern standard; I"m actuall...@thesimplicity: 8 PM eastern standard; I"m actually playing the full game with some peeps then, so if you want to hit up the demo maybe we should hit it up earlier.Iroquois Pliskinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14324582950813408440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7344068351653946740.post-46809949974681278602008-11-18T21:50:00.000-08:002008-11-18T21:50:00.000-08:00What timezone are you in?

But I'm not ready to rule anything out.<BR/><BR/>@thesimplicity: yes. And no sweat on the invite.

I can tell it's going to be a podcasty kind of day at work. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, as for the topic at hand, I fail to believe that anybody would say "You'll puke with pleasure," in a serious context.
