David Johnston Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Re: When Bad Translators Attack! Yes, the rest of it seems pretty comprehensible allowing for translation into and then out of Chinese. Jack Straw isn't even all that bad a name for a scarecrow themed character.

Teflon Billy Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Re: When Bad Translators Attack! This is pathetic. I mean, really, this is pathetic. If I was going to translate something for another country I would put some effort into it. Some of this stuff looks like pure dictionary translation, no understanding of grammer whatsoever.

TheTemplar Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Re: When Bad Translators Attack! Hey, this actually explains alot. Spider-Man always gets such bad press! Now I know why! "Spider-Man stroke all criminal activates and criminals everywhere..." I think I need to introduce a new villain in my campaign who's only known as "The Abnormal Drug Trafficker."

hooligan x Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Re: When Bad Translators Attack! I am totally stealing Dr Jackstraw. I hear he is an abnormal drug traficker. And don't get me started on Tougun, prince of the mafia... It's hard out here for a pimp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandi Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Re: When Bad Translators Attack! After I posted, I realized Dr. Jackstraw would've been a swell name for the Gotham by Gaslight version of The Scarecrow (assuming he didn't end up becoming Springheel Jack)....

Man, all we have in our basement is a bunch of old books, records, a bowlflex that's hardly used and alot of old toys. Nothing I can use to become a crime fighter. Some people have all the luck. 1) read all the books, giving you a vast and unusual base of knowledge 2) work out on the bowflex until you get peak human strength 3) make weapons and gadgets out of the old toys. At the very least, you can throw the records. You won't be the coolest superhero in the world, but you've got to work with what you've got.

Spectrum Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Re: When Bad Translators Attack! 1) read all the books' date=' giving you a vast and unusual base of knowledge[/quote'] I need to clarify on this. Most of the books are IIRC children's books, a couple of Far Side collections and I think some Time Life books from thier "Mysteries of the Unkown" series from a long way back. Now granted most of Batman's villains are completly off thier rocker, it's just not for me. 3) make weapons and gadgets out of the old toys. At the very least, you can throw the records. Ironically a fair number of the toys down there are various Batman figures I collected over the years. However the records are my mom's and if I started using them as weapons she would likely kill me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do have what it takes to become a Batman-style theme villain, or even a hero, but you merely don't want to. Now, I don't have a basement under my villa... I guess I can't become Spiderman...

Come up with wacky crimes like setting up a device that will destroy all mirrors in a mirror factory, and set up a counter to total up the years of bad luck as each mirror breaks.

Zeropoint Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Re: When Bad Translators Attack! Remember to set it up so that the HERO sets off the device that breaks the mirrors when he comes to the mirror factory looking for you--you don't want that bad luck coming down on YOU.
