Seems like Error was intentional, not a mistranslation.

I see FAIL and EPIC FAIL being used all the time.

Not sure if this is a translation issue or just being a horrible game issue, but didn't Big Rigs say "You're Winner" after you won?

@bizuit It did! It's the bit with the trophy in the A Winner Is You bit.

Btw what's wrong with "I feel asleep"? I know that "I fell asleep" would make sense, but can't I say it's 2 am and I feel asleep (instead of sleepy) ?

A error is you. All your fail are a happy end.

"CONGRATURATION!  THIS STORY IS HAPPY END.  THANK YOU."

Ah, finally I see the end of Ghosts & Goblins.  I spent many hours and days playing that game, but could never win. 

"A WINNER IS YOU!"  Pro Wrestling was a winner, itself.   Classic, fun game.

I always wondered where the FAIL thing came from.

I'm sorry, memes are great, but Jess bores me to tears. Please enunciate.

@IamTakkun To my ears, Jess enunciates well and even if she didn't, a lack of enunciation doesn't make someone boring, which is something that, in my opinion, Jess is most certainly not.

@IamTakkun Jess is awesome, she has a good voice and I like her accent.....not to mention she's cute :]

@IamTakkun  Hmm, I've never really noticed Jess' reluctance to enunciate.   Perhaps if I weren't so busy trying to figure out what kind of hair products she uses.  Those are some ridiculously luxurious drapes.
