Video Game Quotes

mag · 03-16-2004, 03:09 PM

I'm harvesting my vast collection of quotes because those are always good to have on hand. Anyway, I'm looking for some good video game quotes, and I thought I'd ask here. What are some of your favorite game quotes? Anything from any game that struck you as particularly insightful, poignant, inspirational, or just plain interesting.

"... and I will stride through the gates of hell carrying your head on a pike!"

"Stride?"

"All right then, ROLL! ROLL THROUGH THE GATES OF HELL! ... Must you take the fun out of everything?"

"About that metal detector..."

"What. Is. That. Stench?" - Barney, Half-Life

Well, you know what they say. If you want to save the world, you have to push a few old ladies down the stairs.

Ben (Full Throttle): "I may lie, and I may steal, and I may rough some people up from time to time. But it's all for a good cause: Self Preservation."

Manny (Grim): "I just locked an open door... strange, yet symbolically compelling."

Manny (Grim): "Love? Love is for the living, Sal. I'm only after her for one reason... she's my ticket out of here."

Manny: ""Through this dark portal, an innocent man shall pass and arrive on the other side, innocent still, but colder of heart."

Membrillo (Grim): "All day long, Manny, I sort through pure sadness. I find evidence, and I piece together stories. But none of my stories end well - they all end here. And the moral of every story is the same: we may have years, we may have hours, but sooner of later, we push up flowers."

Membrillo: "The secret to my happiness, Manuel, is I have the heart of a twelve year old child. I keep it in a jar over here. Would you like to see it?"

There's a whole bunch of quotes from games at the Internet Movie Database (yes they do some games as well). Contribute your favorite quotes!

"How I hate that blasted Myst"
"Really? I think Myst is pretty"
"Well of course it's pretty, but it's just so dull"

And the poem that that Manny recites when you look at the moon in Rubacava, can't think of how it goes.

It shone, pale as bone
As I stood there alone
And I thought to myself how the moon,
That night, cast its light
On my heart's true delight,
And the reef where her body was strewn.

- Evil, meet my sword. Sword, meet Evil!
- Jump on my sword whilst you can, Evil. I shall not be as gentle!

"In A.D. 2101
War was beginning

Captain: What happen?
Operator: Somebody set up us the bomb.
Operator: We get signal.
Captain: What!
Operator: Main screen turn on.
Captain: It's You!!
Cats: How are you gentlemen!!
Cats: All your base are belong to us.
Cats: You are on the way to destruction.
Captain: What you say!!
Cats: You have no chance to survive make your time.
Cats: Ha Ha Ha Ha ….
Captain: Take off every "zig."
Captain: You know what you doing.
Captain: Move "zig".
Captain: For great justice"

Those are classic.
