Reveilled Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 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!" Hawk! Eggplant! AWAKEN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanschu Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 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!

Darkside Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 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* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walsingham Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 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 "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.

Calax Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 "Dear god! there's Blood and pubic hair everywhere!" VCPR after the reverend shot the nudist.

Draken Posted July 2, 2005 Author Share Posted July 2, 2005 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 Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelverin Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 From BG Xzar - "Ha, ha, ha I am become death, destroyer of worlds". One of the many classic lines from a great character. J1 Visa Southern California Cleaning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanschu Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calax Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 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... Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition!
