Favorite Game Lines

[Raduque]

"They're waiting for you Gordon... in the test chaamberrrrr."

I always liked the way that voice actor ominously growled "chamber".

 

[dust]

"This is where th' cars live! Gitchoo one!"
-Scooter from Borderlands

i always laugh when the 'catch-a-ride' says that.

Or
"Bandits or not, those were some pristine, tail gettin' machines!"

His "ads" are retarded all right! How about:

" My dad always says that 4 wheels is better than...zero...wheels"

 

[Zenoth]

So many...

Anything and everything Duke Nukem says, especially: «Your face, your ass... what's the difference..."»

Many of the units' responses in Red Alert 2, in particular from the Allied forces: The SEAL special unit «Little C4 knockin' at your door!...» or the Chrono trooper when he annihilates an enemy unit from existence «Never existed...» or from Yuri, when he mind-controls an enemy unit, saying «A new friend joins us»... and many others.

Lots of the great dialog/writing from the Half-Life series, some of which from the G-Man, including: «Prepare for unforeseen consequences.»

In BioShock, Atlas' «Would you kindly?»

In Diablo II, the Blacksmith: «I shall make weapons from your bones!»... or Diablo himself when he spawns: «Not even death can save you from me...»

Many of the one-liners and responses from all classes in Team Fortress 2, including my personal favorite being our beloved Heavy Weapons Guy's «Doh doh doooh! doooh! doh doh doh doh come sing wiz me! doh doh doh doooh doooh!»

One of my all-time favorite video game series for good one-liners and quotes in general, namely the Warhammer 40,000 series (including Dawn of War II, also see my avatar right now). I would have hundreds to name from those games specifically, some of which are: «Only in death does duty end»... or the Librarian's «Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment»... or the famous Force Commander's «Walk softly, and carry a big gun.»... or basically the entire dialog at the battle between Gabriel and Isador (in DoW1's campaign), very memorable.

But honestly there would be literally thousands of one-liners and various quotes I could find, there's just too many, from games of the late 1980's that I grew up with passing by the golden 1990's to the memorable 2000's, on Consoles and PC alike, I know right now I'm forgetting some of the best ones from my personal collection of games, and beyond. I'll just keep reading what others will add, I like threads like this (even though there's already dozens of results from Google if you try it yourselves), I'm plunging memory-first back in time and nourishing my nostalgia with this.

 

[blastingcap]

It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum... and I'm all outta gum.

 

[maniacalpha1-1]

In Everquest some Drachnids from Depths of Darkhollow say:
"I shall wear your skin as a prize!"

 

[shortylickens]

Oh, and Dungeon Keeper. Every line is solid gold.

 

[WhipperSnapper]

I like the voice of the Marza from Sins of a Solar Empire when you order it to attack something:

"This is how space junk is born!"

 

[Modular]

"There's sooo much pleasure in pain" - the chicks in Prince of Persia

I'm playing through Bad Company 2 right now and there are a few good ones in there. I can't remember it verbatim, but one of my favorites was when you're walking through the jungle and your teammates are bantering about the mission and someone says something to the effect of:

"Yeah, they'll probably just send it a bunch of losers with pussy ass heartbeat sensors!"

 

[BladeVenom]

"Preparing to breach and butcher, Sire!"

Medieval II Total War

One of my favorites from Rome was, "Do not fear these Britons, only sheep and animals fear them, and for completely different reasons!"

 

[datalink7]

Nordom: Attention; Morte. I have a question. Do you have a destiny? A purpose?
Morte: Is Annah still wearing clothes?
Nordom: Affirmatory.
Morte: Then the answer is yes.

---------

Morte: Hey Nordom, knock-knock.
Nordom: Why do you persist in addressing me as a door?
Morte: It's a joke, you stupid polygon! You're supposed to answer "Who's there?"
Nordom: I know who is there. It is you. Why would I ask a question when I already know the answer?
Morte: Just forget it.

-------

Nordom: Annah, does your tail assist you in maintaining your balance?
Annah: No, it's fer scratchin' me back, yeh soddin' box!
Nordom: Yes, that is quite logical.
Annah: [sighs]

 

[zinfamous]

^ hehe. which game is that?

 

[rocadelpunk]

worms: armageddon

"A donkey, a donkey, my kingdom for a donkey"

Tribes
"Shazbot"

 

[datalink7]

^ hehe. which game is that?

The best game ever made, IMHO:

Planescape: Torment

 

[pathos]

I'm probably misremembering it but

Minsc - "Magic is pretty, but now Minsc is in charge! Swords for everyone!"

 

[sash1]

"need a dispenser here"

 

[sandorski]

Ooh, that's gonna leave a mark - Duke 3D
Stop poking me! - Warcraft(1)

 

[mingsoup]

"Commentary: How would you like to be the wholly-owned servant to an organic meatbag? It's demeaning! If, uh, you weren't one yourself, I mean..."
―HK-47

That.

 

[Kabob]

"Assume the party escort submission position or you will miss the party."
-GlaDOS

 

[Fenixgoon]

Deus Ex FTMFW.

Walton Simons: You take another step forward and here I am again, like your own reflection in a hall of mirrors.
JC Denton: That makes me one ugly son of a bitch.

Bob Page: Soon, I will become pure energy. I will burn like the brightest star.
JC Denton: You're gonna burn, all right.

Nicolette DuClare: What are you, some sort of assassin?
JC Denton: When necessary.

Dr. Jaime Reyes: JC! You escaped? Is that what the lockdown's about?
JC Denton: I forgot to give Manderly my resignation.

Walton Simons: You can't begin synthesizing the vaccine without a universal constructor, and don't think we're going to just leave one lying around. Not after you blew up the one in Hong Kong.
JC Denton: I was never properly trained in its operation.

JC Denton: You mechs may have copper wiring to re-route your fear of pain, but I've got nerves of steel.


Lots of other great ones, but the first thing i thought of was Deus Ex and the nerves of steel quote.

 

[Sureshot324]

Isabella, DA2: "I like big boats and I cannot lie"

SC2: "Well butter my biscuit!"

 

[splat_ed]

Plenty from Sam and Max...
"But wait. Acts of mindless violence are my forte"
"Facilities be damned, I need a bathroom"

I'm sure Monkey Island has lots but it's been too long since I played... must break it out again.

and more Minsc classics:
"When the going gets tough, someone hold my rodent!"
"A den of stinking evil. Cover your nose Boo! We will leave no crevice untouched! "

 

[NikolaeVarius]

FEAR ME BUT FOLLOW

-DOW Commissar

Half the lines in that game are damn memorable.

 

[HunterDT]

Mass Effect 2
EDI: "Probing Uranus."

 

[Farmer]

"Stay a while and listen"

Also, HK47.

 

[maniacalpha1-1]
