Best Video Game Lines/Moments!

[Reveilled]

I still cheer myself up with the song Guybrush sings in Monkey Island 3.

 

"Oh there's a...

Monkey in my pocket and he's stealing all my change;

His stare is blank and glassy, I suspect that he's deranged."

 

Maybe these things just have to catch you at the right moment.  :">

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

I don't remember that. The song in Monkey Island 3 that I remember went:

"We're thieving balladeers,

A gang of cut-throat mugs,

To fight us off you don't need guns,

just jolly good ear plugs!

A pirate I was meant to be,

Trim the sails and roam the sea!"

[alanschu]

I'll start with some quotes:

 

"My hit....no effect???? Must need bigger sword"

"Go for the eyes boo, goooo for the eyes!! RAAAAAARGH"

- Minsc

 

"I'm a sword ok....not an axe. I don't cut trees." - Liralcor (sp?)

 

"Your right.....I wouldn't shoot a friend" -Sam Fisher

 

"Damn you Avatar.....DAAAAAAAAAAMN YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" -Guardian (Ender ought to know that one ) *note, the first time I heard this one I positively had chills run down my spine....the way the line is delivered is perfect and I just knew I hadn't seen the last of this guy...and the next time I saw him....he'd be pissed.

 

'"Sam, it would seem as though the boat has been rigged with an Alarm System." -Lambert

 

"Don't tell me....three alarms and the mission is over?" -Fisher

 

"Dammit Fisher, this isn't a video game. Just be careful!" :D'

 

 

Some favourite moments (some of this is repeats from that other thread)

 

The buildup music for the failed copy protection check in Space Quest IV (maybe it was III)...it starts up, just like it had earlier, getting faster and faster, and suddenly....it slows down to an anticlimactic dull pace.

 

Investigating the murders in Ultima VII

Investigating the defacement of the statue in Serpent's Hold in Ultima VII

Reaching the Black Gate in Ultima VII

Defeating the beast in the tetrahedron in Ultima VII

Travelling the world in Ultima VII

Baking bread in Ultima VII

Doing virtually anything I wanted in any particular order I wanted...truly a non-linear game...none of this "it's non-linear because there's sidequests, despite the fact that the plot plays through exactly the same way no matter what, and I must always do plot point A before plot point B in order to progress the plot" crap, in Ultima VII

Learning about poor Spark in Ultima VII

Pretty much anything in Ultima VII

 

Ultima VII: Part II

Dupre's Sacrifice

Unleashing the power of the Daemon Sword

Realizing the special abilities of the Serpent Jewellry

Seeing what the Guardian does to those that fail him

The evil eyes of Iolo in Shamino's castle (also sent chills down my spine)

 

Some Deus Ex stuff

 

Learning that the terrorists aren't so bad afterall.

Learning that UNATCO is evil

Realizing that maybe the terrorists ARE bad!

Changing your mind yet again about the Terrorists after Lebedev

Finding out about MJ12s invovlement.

Beating the game by taking out the universal constructor in Hong Kong

Realizing that the game is not over after Hong Kong!!!!

Realizing that it's possible to save Paul

Realizing that everyone has their own damn agenda and is just using you.

Merging with the AI at the end because Bob Page is a ****, the Illuminati are jerks, Tracer Tong wants the stone age, and the AI actually seems to be the best choice for humanity.

 

 

Virtually everything about Deus Ex

 

 

Half-life (and just in case anyone hasn't played it, which they really really should)

Seeing the cataclysm in the "tesssst chamberrrrr"

Acquiring the crowbar

Acquiring the pistol

Acquiring the much needed ammo for the pistol

Encountering a Bull Squid for the first time (holy fark!)

Watching an enemy get sucked up by a barnacle.

 

Beating the game by reaching the surface, only to realize the marines aren't so helpful and that the game is a long way from being finished.

Watching the first scientists get gunned down by the marines....I was literally dumbfounded.

Realizing that the GMAN had manipulated the whole event.

The kickass music that starts playing when you go up the elevator to face the marines the first time

 

The sequence of events that lead up to the Tau Cannon

 

 

Some Half-Life 2 garb:

The battle against the striders

 

Waiting for Alyx to disable the force field around one of the energy spheres while Combine soldiers come from everywhere

 

Dog!

Ravenholm!

The creepy guys in Ravenholm.

The fact that Ravenholm scared the crap out of me.

The fanboat chase scene when my favourite Half-Life 1 music started playing!

Nova Prospekt

 

 

I could go on...but I won't

[Darkside]

Practically everything about Half-Life 2 was pure joy. Father Grigorri (something like that, the crazy guy in Ravenholm) is possibly one of the best characters ever.

 

"I am Father Grigorri, I beleive you have already met my... congregation. Haha-hahaha-MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!" *runs off shooting shotgun into the night*

[Walsingham]

Isn't ther a mace somehwere in BG with a description where some priest has it enchanted with the instructions

 

"And enchanteth it. Enchanteth it so it shalt smiteth things ...most explosively."

 

But I remembered one of my favourite quotes (evar):

 

"We are all aware that the senses can be decieved, the eyes fooled. But how can we be certain that we are not being fooled at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life to believe in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?"

 

- Project Pyrro; Specimen 46 Vat 7 activity recorded: mission year 2302 22467 - TERMINATION OF SPECIMEN ADVISED

 

From Alpha Centauri

[Draken]

From Grand Theft Auto 3 and Grand Theft Auto Vice City.

 

"Nothin' brings down real estate prices like a good old fashioned gang war. Except maybe a biblical plague or somthin'...but that might be going too far in this case."

[Darth Flatus]

GTA: Vice City has some classic lines on the radio Not that i can remember any

[Calax]

"Dear god! there's Blood and pubic hair everywhere!"

VCPR after the reverend shot the nudist. The reverand is just a greedy guy who want's people to donate to him to make a statue of himself that will go into space. course it will never happen

[Draken]

Oh god that was funny. Also on VCPR, during a commercial break with Jonathan Freeloader and Michelle Montanious, they're like.

"Recently, Fran from Little Haiti donated 15 dollars. Gee Michelle, don't you think she could've donated more?"

"She sure could have, Jonathan. Greedy *****."

[Child of Flame]

MAURICE: Let's get back to the topic at hand, eh? I had enough of this

weirdness. Jenny, let's start with you. How do you maintain such a

positive outlook on life? It says in your file that some awful things

have happened to you.

 

JENNY: I don't think anything awful has happened to me.

 

MAURICE: But it says you y-y-y-your parents were brutally murdered.

 

JENNY: MOMMY?! Where's mommy? She's just fine. She's probably taking a

nap. HAHAHAHA!! You're like my bad doll, Mr. Livingston. He's a bad

doll, BAD DOLL! Not like my other dolls. My mom's great though, thanks

for asking.

 

MAURICE: O-o-kay! WOW! You're psychotic, and dosed up to the eyeballs on

tranqulizers.

 

JENNY: If it's psychotic to be happy, then I guess I am. HEHEHE!!

 

SMITH: A stalagmite grows an inch every thousand years. That slow and

painful. That's how I want to live my life. If you can't see the misery,

stay out of the kitchen. You may have noticed this arm tattoo? It's

Egyptian, and it represnts the breath of life given in the afterworld.

It's my key to eternal life after death.

 

JEREMY: Hey, why don't you carry your keys in your pocket like everyone

else?

 

SMITH: Because only that which is scratched or burned into your flesh

comes with you to the afterlife.

[Kelverin]

From BG

 

Xzar - "Ha, ha, ha I am become death, destroyer of worlds". One of the many classic lines from a great character.

[Calax]

for all you canadians out there, American General Carville from Red Alert 2

 

"I don't know what happened back there but now we're stuck here... I know Canada, they have more cow's here than people."

 

KaBlooie.

 

"Me so horney me hurt you long time"

[alanschu]

Haha I don't remember that.

 

 

I'm surprised they didn't throw in an igloo joke. Perhaps they're too cliche now?

[Darth Flatus]

In Street Fighter 2 every time chun li did a SPinning Bird Kick, you could see her panties

[alanschu]

"Spinning Side Kick!!!!"

 

"Ya Ta!"

 

 

Hehehe.

 

My cousing was the only one that could match my Ryu ownage, and he did it with Chun Li. She was tough

[EnderAndrew]

I was all about Ryu and Chun-Li. Those were the only two I liked to use.

[alanschu]

At family get togethers we'd have an 8 player tournament. My good cousin and I would always meet at some point, and those fights were always crazy long and people enjoyed just watching them.

 

 

I always had the upper hand on him in Mortal Kombat games...although a different cousin could give me a run for my money in that one :D

[Darth Flatus]

*sigh* Beat 'em up memories The callouses from doing multiple dragon punches and Hadoukens *sigh* My thumbs click everytime i bend them.. but its ok SF2 I ain't mad at ya.

 

IS there an MMO 2D beat em up? It would be awesome to fight geeks across the world.

[alanschu]

Hadoo-ooken! Hadoo-ooken!

 

 

I can still hear Ryu saying it!

[EnderAndrew]

No and very few beat-em up games have online play surprisingly enough.

[Darkside]

"Now before you leave, you have to promise to only ever use your powers of pyrokenisis ONLY when it's very, very important, or really really entertaining. And if you use it to impress girls, make sure none of them are wearing lots of hair spray."

 

^ I found that one playing Psychonauts last night. ^_^

[Calax]

In Street fighter I would be cheap and use E Honda's fist's of fury. It's too bad they didn't add the special attacks to Street fighter the movie, of course having a frenchman as col. Giule was bad eanough...

[ncr]

He's Belgian. :ph34r:

[Calax]

He's still Jene Claude Van-Damme, a poor mans govenator. I think they would have done much better with sombody else playing it. perhaps sombody with an american accent.

[ncr]

I totally agree. The character clearly called for an American.

[Darth Flatus]

They should have used hulk hogan for guile.
