"Perhaps you were expecting some surprise, for me to reveal a secret that had eluded you, something that would change your perspective of events, shatter you to your core. There is no great revelation, no great secret. There is only you."
- Kreia, Knights Of The Old Republic II
I don't know, it just seems a refreshing change from twists at the end of a story.
[T3 is explaining why the Ebon Hawk was searching for the Jedi Exile] Jedi Exile: "So this help you came in search of - you came in search of me." [T3 responds] Jedi Exile: "But why me? I was powerless... defenseless." [T3 responds] Jedi Exile: "You needed the Last of the Jedi... The last hero of the Mandalorian Wars... me." Another KOTOR II quote.
It just seems awesome, that's all.
"I will kill all she loves, all she protects, until her hands are drenched in blood." - Darth Sion, KOTOR II
It always sends a shiver up my spine.

Mass Effect 2's less violent — but no less AWESOME — alternative to SHEPARD PAWNCHing the tabloid reporter:
"The Alliance lost eight cruisers during the battle. Shenyang. Emden. Jakarta. Cairo. Seoul. Cape Town. Warsaw. Madrid. And yes, I memorized them all. Everyone in the 5th Fleet was a hero. The Alliance owes them medals. The Council owes them a lot more. And so do you."
"Harman, the size of the world has changed. It's changed to the size where you can control it with your hands just like a PDA. The world will... keep getting smaller. [maniacal laughter]" - Kun Lan, killer7
That laugh has to be heard to be believed. The quote is at 1:47 of this video. Another one:
"Hmm. I guess my trick didn't work on you." - Kun Lan
"Tricks are for kids, Kun. I'm an old man." - Harman Smith

Your mileage may vary, but I found "Son of a Sandworm!" to be the superior line.

And that's how I ended up in the wardrobe. It Just Bugs Me!Find the right way down through the maze, to the food, then find the exit. Push the exit button. If the food tastes awful, don't eat it, go back and try another way.
They want the same thing that you do, really, they want a path, just like you. You are in a maze in a maze, but which one counts? Your maze, their maze, my maze. Or are the mazes all the same, defined by the limits of their paths?
Existence is simple: find the food, push the button, hit the treadmill.
But sometimes it gets much harder. Sometimes the food makes you sick, or you can hear nearby feet racing you, urging you on. Sometimes the button only gets you landed right back in the beginning of the maze again, and the food won't satisfy.
There is only one path and that is the path that you take, but you can take more than one path.
Cross over the cell bars, find a new maze, make the maze from it's path, find the cell bars, cross over the bars, find a maze, make the maze from its path, eat the food, eat the path.

I fight for my friends! Sums up so many protagonists' motivations so well despite lacking their typical hot blood.
Related: You and your friends are dead. Game over.
I already mention the King Boo quote from Luigi's Mansion a lot, but it's so glorious I just had to put it on the explanation for Idiot Ball being a trope in that game.

Put some of your favorite video game quotes here! :D Funny, sad, happy, inspiring, etc. They're all welcome! You can either write the reason you like 'em, or just post the quotes!
I'll list some.
- "What's your problem? You both... think you can do whatever you want. Well, I'm sick of it. Go on, you just keep running, but I'll always be there to bring you back!" ~ Axel of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.
That quote almost brought me to tears the first time I saw the whole scene.- "If your reasoning is bent, allow me to straighten it with my bow." ~Rath of Fire Emblem 7
C Mo A for Rath! :D- "Son of a Submariner!" ~ Kefka of Final Fantasy VI
Who doesn't love that Woosleyism? <3- "What? Did you think I left for some romantic reason? I was a simple man with simple needs, and Khamja didn't meet them." ~ Cid of Final Fantasy TA 2
The quote speaks for itself. It's from memory, so it might not be accurate.edited 26th May '10 2:04:44 PM by Misuki
