100 Video Game Quotations Through the Ages

I think that any passionate gamer should see this video:

So, which ones are your favorites?

Seeing as a lot of those voiceless ones are memorable because they're engrish, i'm going with "I have fury!" because Fawful is awesome.

Oh hey, someone made a thread about this video.

For some reason, I keep watching the "B-17 BAWMER" segment over and over again. Apart from that, I found the Super Metroid quote paired with the Earthworm Jim quote pretty funny.

B-17 BAWWWLMER is stunning.

My favorite dramatic quote is the snippet from EVA's ending monologue in Metal Gear Solid 3.

My favorite funny one is the "What am I FIGHTING FOOORURRRGHHH" scene from Mega Man. It's like Zero suddenly underwent puberty at the end of the "for". This was actually my first time hearing that.

Another example from MGS could've been in the video, from MGS4: "This... is good, isn't it?" Surely that must beat "War has changed", although it was neat how they instantly transitioned from that to "War. War never changes."

I wish that the video maker had used Luca's "Look at me!!!!!! I am sublime!!!!!!!!!! I am the true face of evil!!!!!!!!!!" from the same scene as the quote s/he actually used.

Can't mention Fawful without "CHORTLES!!!".

They also skipped Deus Ex 1 entirely, a gold mine of memorable quotes.

"A bomb is a bad choice for close range combat." "AI SPEEEEEL MAI DREEENK" "IT'S A BOMB! A BOMB." And anything from the endings or the Morpheus conversation.

Wish he added in 'Yes, power shifts more quickly than some people think. I am Kane.'

No "Stay a while and listen"?

For shame.

really? they picked that eggman quote instead of "GET A LOAD OF THIS!" or "ALL SYSTEMS, FULL POWER!"

Also, a much smaller one, but where was "Dance water, dance!"?

and that too!

When you gotta break down to just a hundred, some real good ones need to go and that's all there is to it. Gamin deserves at least a thousand!

... Maybe we should do that...

Seems like they focused more on the meme-tastic ones than some of the stuff that's actually well written or iconic of the games they were in. Rocketdude made a good point with Kane from the C&C series: he's full of both good and narmy quotes, and heck even Star Craft would've been a good source as well.

Come to think of it, what about 'Reactor online. Sensors online. Weapons online. All systems nominal.'?

I like that Blaz Blue got one. Although part of me wished that Tama, Yuji, or the Galactic Emperor got one, despite the obscureness of the game.

Tama: "Stawp your futile resistannnnnnnnnnccccccce."
Tama: "Come back when you've got a better ship."
Tama: "I think we know how this is going to end..."
Yuji: "This is impossible from the point of cultural anthropology!"
Yuji: "This has been proven from the point of behavioral science!"
Yuji: "This has never been proven from the point of literature..."
As for the Emperor?

Skip to :22 to ignore the video maker's intro. Skip to 1:26 for GE's monologue.

The best Gotcha Force quote will always be "What does this button do?"

No "Get out of here Stalker"???

"Awaken my child, and embrace the glory that is your birth right. Know that I am the Overmind, the eternal will of the Swarm, and that you have been created to serve me."

"You wanna piece of me, boy?" is a much better choice.

I was thinking more along the lines of Kerrigan's "Queen Bitch of the Universe" quote, but that works too!

Starcraft has tons of quotes. I'm sure anyone who's play long enough can hear the unit responses in their heads. The video already showed one of those from WC 2 though, so it might be redundant.

Problem is, that was like the ONLY RTS quote in the whole video. Most of it focused on bad translations, crappy voice acting, or cheesy moments from Japanese games.

the Ma Belle Peche scene is not cheesy, it's awesome!

Well yeah, they're going for memorable quotations that gamers as a whole remember over the years. We have several tropes named after a few of them which really shows how ingrained they are in our culture.
