Festive Thrill-Tree: GN Blurb Translated Too Many Times

[NapalmKev]

For some reason the blurb is making me think of [spoiler]Bad Company[/spoiler].

Cheers

[JayzusB.Christ]

[spoiler]Halo Book 3[/spoiler] is all I can think of.

[The Legendary Shark]

[spoiler]Fiends of the Eastern Front[/spoiler]?

[I, Cosh]

Oreo = cookie, therefore the answer is [spoiler]Judge Dredd: Oz[/spoiler].

Oreo = cookie, therefore the answer is [spoiler]Judge Dredd: Oz[/spoiler].

I now have a line about one character referring to another as a tough cookie in my head, but I can't remember which characters were involved...

Colin YNWA, followed by Jayzus both got The Ballad of Halo Jones Book III!

Caught in the Web

Her dreams of escape dashed, Halo has ended up on a decaying ghostworld, where the drink is the only thing that hasn't run dry. Having drifted from one dead-end job to another, her credits and hopes for the future have almost run out, but fortunately, the military is looking for new recruits. With no other way out, she enlists.

Online

The dream of escaping was a huge success, and Oreo took the life of a corrupt spirit, only a dry drink. From indifference to further indifference, their hopes of success and their future almost faded. But fortunately, the army is looking for new officers. He came in because he had no other choice.

And for today:

The villagers have dug a bigger hole than the powder ... now!

As soldiers, they left in the shower, which was an insect of the jungle and boundless love, a colony of burritos, a species that is often required canned, which makes muscle thought and tasting. Human body! Scary that the army, near civilization, the head of the country, drank in the woods, and failed in the effort of this young man, I warn you, he can not stand anywhere in the sex world, to prepare badly?

Against War in the classic fantasy sci-fi film, Fifty-Six.

If Google translate is getting from 'hopes of escape dashed' to 'dreams of escape were a huge success' it looks as if we've got a few years yet before our robot overlords take charge!

As for today's challenge... I would've said [spoiler]Dead Eyes[/spoiler] if it had had its own collection - and we've already had [spoiler]Ant Wars[/spoiler], so it can't be that. So I'm thinking [spoiler]Bad Company: Goodbye Krool World[/spoiler]

[sheridan]

Technically we had [spoiler]Zancudo[/spoiler], not [spoiler]Ant Wars[/spoiler] so I'll put you down as having gotten it!  Further comment about weird translation things tomorrow.

[Dandontdare]

Not got a drokkin clue on that one!

[AlexF]

I mean, I read the phrase "the effort of this young man, I warn you, he can not stand anywhere in the sex world" and immediately thought of [spoiler]John Smith[/spoiler] and [spoiler]Peter Milligan[/spoiler] - who'd've thought it's actually [spoiler]Gerry Finley-Day[/spoiler]?

[sheridan]

It's always the quiet ones (I have no idea if [spoiler]GFD[/spoiler] is a quiet one or not)

[Colin YNWA]

I have no idea but that's the best translation yet

....As soldiers, they left in the shower, which was an insect of the jungle and boundless love, a colony of burritos, a species that is often required canned, .... I warn you, he can not stand anywhere in the sex world, to prepare badly?

Just absolute gold. Gold.

I want to say [spoiler]Bad Company [/spoiler]so I will but based on very, very little.

[Bolt-01]

Hmmm - [spoiler]Banzai Battalion?[/spoiler]

[sheridan]

The answer is Ant Wars (the previous formican story was Zancudo, not Ant Wars).  AlexF got it right (but then dismissed it due to Zancudo).

THEY COLONISED EARTH... NOW THEY'RE ALL LARGER THAN GRIZZLY BEARS!

When military personnel spray an untested insecticide on ants in the Brazilian rainforest, the colony mutate into super-intelligent creatures with a taste for human flesh! As the terrifying army head closer towards civilisation, Captain Villa and a young forest native race ahead in the vain attempt to warn an unprepared world!

Written by Gerry Finley-Day (Rogue Trooper), with Art by José Luis Ferrer (Robo-Hunter), Lozano (M.A.C.H.1), Pena (Planet of the Damned) and Azpiri (Black Hawk), Ant Wars is an exhilarating take on the classic sci-fi movies of the fifties and sixties.

What I think is particuarly interesting is that both Zancudo and Ant Wars start with the following tagline:

THEY COLONISED EARTH... NOW THEY'RE ALL LARGER THAN GRIZZLY BEARS!

but when Google translated Zancudo it said:

They're turning the world around ... now it's more than a hard bear right now!

though for Ant Wars the same words came out as:

The villagers have dug a bigger hole than the powder ... now!
