Favorite video game quotes

We all play video games here. I'm going to assume that you play other games besides STO. And while playing those games you've heard characters say things that catch your ear. So what are your favorite quotes?

My favorites so far?

Anything said by Duke Nukem in his third game.

"Behold MY MIGHTY HAND!!!" said by Onslaught in Marvel vs Capcom. It's not that he says it, but rather... HOW he says it. Makes me NOT want to know where that hand has been...

and finally, my most favorite quote so far...

"You can't die! You still owe money!!!" said by Louie the Vagabond Witch (when she's KO'ed) in the game Trouble Witches Neo. Her family apparently has a huge debt and it's on her shoulders to pay it up... And I swear this game is so rife with bad voice acting...
*sings* "I like Gammera! He's so neat!!! He is full of turtle meat!!!"

"Hah! You are doomed! You're only armed with that pathetic excuse for a musical instrument!!!" *the Savage Beast moments before Lonnehart the Bard used music to soothe him... then beat him to death with his Fat Lute*

    "OK, I've just about had my FILL of riddle asking, quest assigning, insult throwing, pun hurling, hostage taking, iron mongering, smart arsed fools, freaks, and felons that continually test my will, mettle, strength, intelligence, and most of all, patience! If you've got a straight answer ANYWHERE in that bent little head of yours, I want to hear it pretty damn quick or I'm going to take a large blunt object roughly the size of Elminster AND his hat, and stuff it lengthwise into a crevice of your being so seldom seen that even the denizens of the nine TRIBBLE themselves wouldn't touch it with a twenty-foot rusty halberd! Have I MADE myself perfectly CLEAR?!"

    At the moment one that is in my head at the moment

    "Now! This is it! Now is the time to choose! Die and be free of pain or live and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape your stories! Your fate is in your hands!"

    Auron - Final Fantasy X

    Oo and a completely random one..

    "Feed me! - I'm hungry!"
    (presumably) Bunty - Chicken Run the Pc Game :D

    And who could EVER forgot (assuming they have played one of the series)

    "HEEEYAAH!!"

    Link - Legend of Zelda

    Let's just include the 2004 release of The Bard's Tale in its entirety and be done with it, shall we?

    Oh, it's bad luck to be you.
    Don't think for just a second it's not true
    When your life has run amuck
    You'll see that you're the TRIBBLE.
    Oh, it's bad luck to be
    Really bad luck to be
    Nobody could disagree.
    It's a freaking guarantee.
    Oh, it's bad luck to be you.
    Diddly doo.

    Hehehe! I'd almost forgotten that one from Dungeon Keeper! Every night at 3am for about two weeks, that line would play out of my speakers.

    I'm probably too old for this posting and am going to quote computer games from the times of the early days, but anyone remember the classic "Blood"?

    "Rest in pieces.", Caleb says when blowing up the two headed hell-hound with dynamite (what was that dog called again...?)

    "We're gonna need a bigger boat.", he mumbles, when he takes the sloop to meet the flying demon, nicely stolen from Jaws.

    But the best, at the opening of the game, when he comes out of the grave, and says: "I'm alive!", nicely stolen from Frankenstein.

    Oh yeah, the fat dead guys that attack you with burbs, kept moaning: "Join us.", and when you set the little civilian guys on fire, they ran around shouting: "It burns!", and then: "There is no place like home!"

    They don't make 'em like Blood anymore.

    Also there was the original Duke Nuke 'em.

    "I can either kick TRIBBLE or chew bubble gum, and I'm all out of bubble gum."

    And there were really good ones in "Redneck Rampage".

    "If you mess with the bull, you get the horns. I think it was actually coined first in that game.

    But nobody remembers that stuff, these games came out twenty odd years ago?

    Its before my time, but Blood holds a permanent spot in my collection, mainly for the prankcall and Caleb singing "Strangers in the night..."

    As for quotes, most of mine lie in srw, notably Kyosuke Nanbu's "Don'na soukou darouto... uchi tsuranaku nomi!", Ratsel's "Ikuzo, Trombe!" And Sanger Zonvolt's "CHEEEESSSSSTOOOOOOOOOO!

    Waga zankantou ni... tatenu mono nashi"
    Ikuzo, Trombe!

    ROFLMAO!


    It is silly but the quote i can not get rid of is "You just been torn to shreds by Kuchera the Scissor-blade!".

    favorite quote, hmm? "I'm locked in here tighter than a frog's butt in a watermelon seed fight." - Starcraft, SCV pilot.

    -I hate indecision! ... or maybe I don't. Well, make up your mind. Or I'll have your skin made into a hat. Maybe one of those arrowcatchers. I love those hats!

    -Daedra are the embodiment of change, change and permanency. I'm no different. Except in the ways that I am.

    -Wonderful! Time for a celebration... Cheese for everyone! Wait, scratch that. Cheese for no one. That can be just as much of a celebration, if you don't like cheese, true? You've run a maze like a good little rat. But no cheese for you yet. Well, maybe a little.

    -You are the best Septim that's ever ruled. Well, except for that Martin fellow, but he turned into a dragon god, and that's hardly sporting...

    -Was it Molag? No, no... Little Tim, the toymaker's son? The ghost of King Lysandus? Or was it... Yes! Stanley, that talking grapefruit from Passwall.

    -But only half right. I'm a mad god. The Mad God, actually. It's a family title. Gets passed down from me to myself every few thousand years.

    -You know, you remind me of myself at a young age. All I cared about was riding narwhales and sleeping in honeycombs and drinking babies' tears...

    -Just a few examples of the awesomeness of Sheogorath.

    "On your feet Soldier! WE - ARE - LEAVING!" Captain Price, CoD 4: MW

    Okay, there's nothing particularly special about it, but it's forever ground into my brain for some reason.

    Also,

    "I'm okay! Nothing broken! Except my Spine... a couple of ribs... maybe everything else..." -Spider-Man, The Ultimate Spider-Man (PS2).

    "Is that a Rhinosaurus horn on your head, or are you just happy... to... see...

    I'm so scared I can't even finish my lame joke!" Same character and game, just prior to that last quote.

    After much thought (my steam library alone has over 200 games), I think my favorite quote may be from a game I purchased back in 2001 (receipt still in the box ^^).

    It was Star Trek Starfleet Command, Volume II, Empires at War.
    It was Captain Hikaru Sulu speaking in the introductory cinematic.

    The quote is:
    Captain Sulu wrote:
    The galaxy is now in a general state of war and chaos. This is a dark time for us all, but, adversity breeds innovation... and the Federation will not fall without a fight.

    And here is the introduction vid in question... YT Link

    I just always find myself saying those last lines subconsciously almost, mostly at random, and then I remember why their etched into my mind (I played this game excessively back in the day). As favorites go, I think that stands apart from my others.

    For example, the other day, I was waiting in line for something, and it popped into my head. Epic Sulu voiceover and all. XD

    From the Nintendo 3DS game, Code of Princess. When you aquire the necromancer Zozo as a playable character.

    Zozo: What's the big deal? I'm just passing through, looking for spare parts.
    Soldier: You mean... body parts?
    Zozo: Yeah. I need to replace a few things.
    Officer: I knew it! Miss, it is illegal to be a zombie!

    Okay... tell me this then... Are there any laws in any country that specifically state that it is illegal to be a zombie???

    Okay, I found a few more quotes from video games.

    *Supervillains Rhino, Shocker, Scorpion, etc. are playing poker and arguing about how none of them managed to kill Spidey while Doc Ock is looking out of the cell door.*

    "Hey! I got a Bingo!

    Wait, that's not right..." - Rhino, Spider-Man (Playstation One)

    "Hey, come back! I'm pretty sure he's talking to you!

    Right?" - Spider-Man to Iguana and the S-01, The Amazing Spider-Man (PS3)
