From Artificial Atmospheric Actions:

Warcraft III has a standard set of lines a given unit will utter whenever you order it to attack, regardless of circumstances. Thus, we have Arthas, a Paladin, shouting "You are past redemption!" as he charges into battle to slay an ordinary sheep. Must have been an uncommonly sinful barnyard animal. ...on the other hand, let's not think too much about that.
  • To be fair about it, the game did have some instances of vicious killer sheep who loved to tear paladins apart. Perhaps he was just being cautious. That doesn't explain why he says that to buildings and empty wooden crates.
  • Those wooden crates are vicious, you know. One of them attacked my father. They say it fell off him by coincidence, but I know better.
  • Considering what the cows are capable of in Diablo 2, Arthas sounds Genre Savvy about barnyard animals in Blizzard games.

In Neverwinter Nights and Neverwinter Nights 2, the characters shout things like "Perish, as you should!" when you have them bash open a door or chest.

The Most Annoying Sound page is righteous, indignant, and righteously indignant. I love how it recreates the most annoying sounds from various games. It's almost nostalgic.

Pants is an increasingly-uncommon slang phrase. They basically are saying that the movie was unsuccessful commercially.

While the My Immortal Drinking Game has already been posted, one part deserves mention; after a warning and brief argument about how the player would quickly die of alcohol/water/whatever-substance-being-used poisoning if they followed all the directions, the editor(s) finally settle on a single rule:

So essentially, chug whatever it is during the whole fic. Just don't die.

Looking for some stories?

-Is amused that Americans don't have the phrase 'oh, that's pants'-

The pants in question being actual pants, not trousers, and no doubt gaudily stained.

, "Oh, that's briefs" doesn't sound nearly as coherent.

"The Grand Punk Railroad" is Die Hard on a train! With three gangs hijacking at the same time, two serial killers, and three immortals! You almost forget hostages are involved, sometimes.

This entry from under Invisible Wall on the page for Dirge Of Cerberus, because it's true:

This is also really confusing, because the opening AMV scene showed Vincent jumping from roof to roof, over helicopters, in ways that pretty much defy physics and would make any Olympic gymnast go, "Shit."

Some of the reasons real life examples are disallowed listed on No Real Life Examples Please are quite amusing. Most of them are simply things like "too controversial," or "We don't like to call real people evil here." However, some gems include:

Liberty Over Prosperity - Oh joy, another political debate.
Life Will Kill You - We all will die anyway, so let's just enjoy life instead of fearing it.
Power Perversion Potential - Nobody has superpowers. Even if we did, we REALLY don't need to know you used invisibility to sneak into the opposite gender's locker room.
War Is Hell - Oh yeah, let's start talking about controversial wars like Vietnam or Iraq! That's gonna be swell!
Who Shot JFK? - Lee Harvey Oswald.
Wicked Cultured - Oh, my good lord, no!
