I don't recall a really funny bork bork bork thing, but I do recall a very lengthy one!

Sorry bout the lack of cropping, too lazy ATM.

BTW, who thinks we should get a Bork Bork Bork audio mode? For the cinematics! XD

Why did no-one tell me about this before? That's freakin hilarious! Adds a whole new dimension trying to work out what actually dropped. Although it peeves me a bit to think that they had time to translate the ENTIRE Guild Wars script into this language (or in the very least program a translator) but no time to implement some other, more needed additions

Bork Bork Bork! has been a language option for at least two years (if not from launch, but I can't confirm that). It's not like they did it on a whim while GW was already launched: it probably shipped with the game.
It is pretty funny though....gotta check out the concise descriptions w/ Bork Bork Bork!

Aside from this being in game since WPE (1 year before launch), it's really not that big a deal. Or just google for "Swedish chef translator".

It did ship with the game, and they don't add a separate translation, they just convert different vowel and consonant series into bork! language. There are existing algorithms to do it.

If I remember correctly, Bork! Bork! Bork! was in the game since the early testing stages. It was done purely to see how adding a new language option would work - originally there was only English. When it came time to release the game, they loved Bork! so much, they left it in.

I'm sure Gaile mentioned that somewhere

I wish it worked for the cutscenes, like the actual other-language options. I would love to hear Swedish Rurik. XD

This was added a very long time ago. Pre-Factions. Besides, they could easily give this task to an intern.

It was called "Swedish Chef" before release. I guess some people (who arent even Swedish... good lord...) would get offended by that.

I think miniture fungal wallows are funny but.. the best is heroes for sure.

When its like all silent, and you're standing around... then sudennly Koss yells a huge line of what appears to be nonsense.

Actauly 2 friends and I all made a pact to stay in Bork until the NF betaweekend started. We were stuck in Bork for 3 weeks.

i honestly cant believe so many people never bothered to look around in the options menus.

i personally love to look at, and customize everything, so maybe thats the reason for my suprise...

but as far as the thread goes...

i LOVE the skills that ACTUALLY say BORK BORK BORK!

i think distracting shot or favorable winds or something says it for instance.

I think some of the people asking what "Bork bork bork" is are actaully wondering where it comes from. The answer is that it originates from the Character "the Swedish Chef" on the Muppet show, who spoke very similiarly to the way "Bork bork bork" is in game. I think the name itself comes from what the Swedish chef said when laughing, though I'm not 100% sure. (it's only been, what, 25 years since I saw The Muppet Show?)
