Finally, here’s something I understand without reading the comments. Oh great Tyler, when are you going to do a comic about Stork winning the MSL, OSL, WCG, PL, and GOM simultaneously this year? I know its castle ‘vidcons’, but its about time those crazy Korean starcraft players got some love.

All praise to the Pirate King!

King Wii was a fool to ignore the fans of our Mother.

Nintendo had that free translation coming. They made it abundantly clear that they did not want our money.

ALL HAIL MATO and CREW, THEY HAVE SERVED THE PIRATE KING WELL.

The best part is now that so many have flocked to make the M3 translation work, more people than ever will know how to emulate games. Ahh, unintended repercussions.

Let us join together and sing the Song of Love.

Latin = Japanese

Awfully witty historical reference. The royal and clerical elite of the past would keep ancient Latin texts untranslated as a means of controlling and manipulating the masses (and their money) at will, using the power of language barriers alone.

The same is being done to gamers in modern times, with the outflow control of Nipponland releases in the hands of a powerful few. Unfortunately, they’ve got a way of letting us give them offerings for their games ONLY when they deem it most profitable.

Historically, once in a while, commoners would get a hold of translated texts, spread them and rebel. Royalty never liked that kind of thing at all.

Long live the people!
Long live the Pirate King!
