"All yor base. are belong to us!!", is a videogame reference. The story is, a videogame made in Japan was ported to the US. It is often difficult to translate from one language to enother, espicially Japanese to English. What should have been, "Now all your bases(forts, structures, strongholds, whatever) belong to us (your enemy) now.". this mis translation is very common in the games of the 8-bit era. Most noticibly, "donkey kong", should have been "monkey kong", and "pac-man" should have been "puck-man" due to his appearance of a hockey puck.
-- All your base has attained a semi-cult status, inspiring video and music artists to include loops of the quote in songs, and I have seen one really freakin' bizzare video based on it (you don't want to see it, just too weird).
-- today, many online gamers use the phrase when scoring a victory, such as the use of "pwned (owned, why there is a p I have no idea)". It is espicially popular in territory based games, used primarily when capturing a territory or region from the enemy, or to announce imminant victory.
- thats all I can remember, hope it helps. have fun with it!!

Hoog has the general idea, but to be more specific - the phrase is text taken from the opening cut scene of the English version of a 1989 Japanese video game Zero Wing by Toaplan. It was a European release for the Sega Mega Drive (basically like the U.S. Genesis machine). It is one of many such mis-translations in the game (although it is the funniest).
-A side note on the use of 'pwned', it stems from a typing error, since the 'P' and 'O' keys are side by side, 'pwned' is a common misspelling. The mistake, which at one time would invariably draw ridicule from other players, has become standardized almost as an in-joke.

It is for sure a slang of some sort, doing a search in yahoo shows that it is a song title. Hmm I am now curious about this phrase also.
