What is Your Favorite Line in a Game?

Dyre Straits · Sep 1, 2005, 09:38 PM

We're all aware of several lines from movies that have become famous (or even infamous) and it got me to thinking that there may be some classic lines from games that have grabbed peoples' attention.

So, among the many games that you've played, What is Your Favorite Line?

Put on your "thinking cap" and let's see what kind of classics we can come up with.

LHC · Sep 1, 2005, 10:12 PM

What about games based on movies?

Anyway.. I'm not sure if any line from a game actually made me think or anything, but probably the beginning of Half-Life 2

"Wake up, Mr. Freeman...wake up and, smell the ashes."

Zardon · Sep 1, 2005, 10:15 PM

"It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum..... and im all out of bubblegum........" Duke Nukem.

Man, that brings back memories.

"Whenever I smell asphalt, I think of Maureen. That's the last sensation I had before I blacked out; that thick smell of asphalt. She said she'd fix my bike. Free. No strings attached. I shoulda've known then that things were never that simple. Yeah, when I think of Maureen, I think of two things: Asphalt, and trouble."

- Ben, Full Throttle

"We can because we have no other choice." - Solid Snake MGS2

riles9262 · Sep 1, 2005, 11:52 PM

From my favorite character, Magus, from one of my favorite games: chrono trigger:

The black wind howls...
Say, can you hear that? It's the sound of the reaper...
He's history, play with fire and you get burned.
Give me your best shot...if you're prepared for the void!

Brings back so many memories

MythicaL · Sep 2, 2005, 12:06 AM

All your base...

Adding to the Duke Nukem quotes, "Your face, your ass... What's the difference"

topbob · Sep 2, 2005, 01:04 AM

"Thats why your here Mr. Freeman, I have recommended your... services... to my employers, and they agree with me that you have limitless, potential."
- G-Man, Half-Life.

Tipstaff · Sep 2, 2005, 08:12 AM

Couple good ones from Sam & Max: Hit the Road

Max: "Two words, Sam: Indiana Jones."

Great line from Max when you try to lift Conroy Bumpus' toupee from a pressure sensitive stand in his mansion.

Oh:

Fisherman: "I try not to listen to country music. When I do I usually get this uncontrollable desire to drink a lot of beer, and do illegal things to farm animals."
Max: "You too?!?"

That whole game is one great one liner after another.

Last one:

Max: "I'm not a malefactor, I'm a lagomorph!"

(Trust me, look the meanings up in a dictionary, then you'll get it.

)

Tipstaff · Sep 2, 2005, 08:23 AM

Oh, and I've got one for you Zardon:

"I ain't affraid of no Quake." -- Duke Nukem

And while I'm on FPS games:

"Didn't I kick your ass 2 rooms ago?" -- Serious Sam

pr0digal jenius · Sep 2, 2005, 03:49 PM

"Did somebody slaughter a goat in here? Seriously, I wanna know."

"I suppose it would have been more politically correct to kill the women and minorities first."

"Hmm... Normally, I'd expect a fancy cinematic to explain a such crucial story element. The font is nice, though. "

"I know what you're thinking, but the funny thing is, I don't even LIKE videogames... "

"[shoots someone]
That one's for your mother!
[shoots another person]
That one's for the Pope!
[shoots another person]
That one's for Bobo the space-monkey!
[shoots someone else]
That one's cause I have ammo left in my gun!
[shoots last person]
That one's 'cause I can!"

SFOSOK · Sep 2, 2005, 05:23 PM

It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum, but I'm all out of gum.

Gotta agree with Zardon, that one line summed up the entire game.

The funniest though are from the assasin droid on KOTOR, he is hilarious.

riles9262 · Sep 2, 2005, 08:37 PM

hk-47 rules...I couldn't stop laughing when I played through kotor with him:

I say we just kill the meatbag.
Shall I blast him now master?
Can I break his neck now master? It's been a long time fantasy of mine.

makken · Sep 2, 2005, 09:21 PM

FarCry has some hilarious dialgoue.
the duke nukem quote has got to be the best.

thomasabarnes · Sep 2, 2005, 11:32 PM

I like the line in Brothers In Arms when the patrol runs into the enemy. The leader pumps his arm and shots: "Suppress those bastards!"

It cracks me up!

Dyre Straits · Sep 3, 2005, 03:36 AM

Well, since I got this thread started, I thought I'd better contribute.

One line that has stuck with me over the years is from Max Payne:

"I feel like I'm in a graphic novel."

Tipstaff · Sep 3, 2005, 06:27 AM

People always credit Duke Nukem for that "chew bubblegum" line, yet overlook the guy that said it first: Roddy Piper in "They Live". 8 years later, Duke gets the credit, but Roddy said it better.

Dark Lord · Sep 3, 2005, 06:36 AM

put me down for Duke Nukem. ive always enjoyed that one.

Tipstaff · Sep 3, 2005, 06:47 AM

Paint can: "I've seen some a$$ kicking in my time, and that was the $#!^^iest, crapest, crappiest, $#!^^iest kick a$$ I've ever seen!"

Conkers Bad Fur Day

thomasabarnes · Sep 3, 2005, 03:00 PM

Yeah Tipstaff, that's a real good one! Konker's Bad Fur Day has some more good one too!

studbagel9 · Sep 7, 2005, 02:44 PM

The only way you'll truly enjoy this is if you've played through the entire game:

"Nahhh" - The player in System Shock 2

While I'm on the lines of that:

"Look at you hacker, a pathetic creature of meat and bones, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?" - Shodan, System Shock 2

And for general hilarity of voice acting - "Not advisable for tourists to visit canals at night" - Hong Kong soldier in Deus Ex.

SFOSOK · Sep 7, 2005, 04:23 PM

I serve the Flaming fist !!!!

SFOSOK · Sep 7, 2005, 04:24 PM

Deus Ex (the first) has got to be one of the greatest FPS's for comp of all time.

Nerve Gas Missile Launcher Driver: "Can I push the button?" ---C&C Generals

daedal · Sep 7, 2005, 06:50 PM

"Can I have some shoes?"

SFOSOK · Sep 7, 2005, 10:03 PM

"Quit poking me"

"I'm not that kind of Orc"

Ferret_Style · Sep 7, 2005, 10:43 PM

"Why must you Torment me" Warcraft
Used every time i get email

And on the WoW line ... this is the best funny

Troll male: I kill two dwarfs in the morning.
Troll male: I kill two dwarfs at night.
Troll male: I kill two dwarfs in the afternoon
Troll male: And 'den I feel all right.
Troll male: I kill two dwarfs in time of peace and two in time of war.
Troll male: I kill two dwarfs before I kill two dwarfs.
Troll male: And 'den I kill two more. "

Yeah, that one really really cracked me up.

But the one from Max Payne 1 that has really stayed with me is what he said in the start of the game, I'm not sure if he exactly said this, so correct me if I'm wrong, but it went something like:

"The show'd only started...and they'd given me the best seat in the house...front row, centre."

That line really really kicked me. But as for other fav. sayings from some of my other favourite games, I'd have to say some of the following will really stick with me 'till death do me part:

"I feel like my inner child's comin' out.....and it HURTS!!!!!!!!!" - M$ GEX

&, also from the same game

"Need it, need it, need it, need it!"
"One for me and one for me"

If you played the game, you'll get the last ones.

Then there's

"I going to kill you"
"You gonna be sorry"
"You want the chainsaw gringo!?"
"Run or die!"
- the columbians in GTA3

"Haiieee a hoooooo, ahaeiiiii hoooooo, hooo hoooo, hoooo hoooo, aheiiii hoooo, aheiiii hooooo, hoooo hooo, hooo hooo"
- the priest dude in Age of Empires 1

& from the same game

"Hurry"
"Homeless"
- the workers of the village, or villagers I guess

"Prostagma"
"Isvoli!"
- Age of Mythology, whatever it meant, it sounded kinda cool.

Then from Jaggesd Alliance 2

"S***bag, I use all the ammunitiion for weapon" - Ivan, I especially loved when he used a "LAW", which case he always had to say this;
"My horrescope said it was my lucky day" - Vicy, when a bullet went whizzing by but missed some vital part of her body;
"Crap" - Shadow, for no apparent reason or when something went dreadfully wrong, eg. his weapon misfired or a grenade turned out to be a dud
"That was like, close, I mean it was like, close, you know" - Gasket, when something was close, but his IQ didn't exactly let him express it as well as he'd like. This one esp. cracked me and my friend up.

Yeah, those are some that come immeadiately to mind, but thinking of these sayings is really a journey into the depths of the past of one's life, in which the games that he (or she

) played were more and more immensly sweeter than the games of nowa days.

And can you believe, I completely forgot all the good sayings from Celestial's Toxic Bunny, down right to the last one!
