Favorite video game quote

[Underseer]

As long as we're recreating threads from the old dig, how about this one?

My favorite is from a quest-giving NPC on Taris in SW:tOR on the Republic side. He's a doctor working with pirates on a poisoned planet that turns people into space-werewolves or something. At some point he declares

I swear on my medical license! The real one!

 

[Keith&Co.]

The first video game we ever plugged into our TV was Pong.

So: "Bwoop."

 

[Underseer]

Go for the eyes, Boo! Go for the eyes!

Boo was Minsc's pet hamster, whom Minsc insisted was a super-intelligent other-dimensional being.

War. War never changes.

Opening narrator line from every Fallout game ever.

 

[KeepTalking]

Minsc was pretty much everyone's favorite character from Baldur's Gate, and it had a lot to do with Boo, who was often referred to as a Miniature Giant Space Hamster.

If that hit you in the chest, I'm sorry. I was aiming for your crotch.

Of course it's Deadpool, so it is rife with classic one-liners, and even the achievements are often quite funny. One of the early achievements you can get is "Playing with Deadpool's junk".

 

[Underseer]

You're so cute when you're bleeding!

Love letter from a female orc. The scary thing is that she was being completely genuine.

Cave Johnson:
All right, I've been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade!
Make life take the lemons back!
Get Mad!
I don't want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these?
Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man whose gonna burn your house down - with the lemons!
I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that'll burn your house down!

"Keep what few wits you have about you. These mutants are not to be trifled with". - Dr Patricia Tannis, Borderlands II

 

[Tom Sawyer]

ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!!!!

I never actually played whatever video game that's from, but I've always loved the line ever since first hearing it mentioned.

"You have died of dysentery." - Oregon Trail

 

[Nexus]

All your base are belong to us.

Years later this quote took on a life of its own. It was actually a poor Japanese translation from 1991 game. Its quite ominous as an opening message before an attack. You get the impression no negotiation will ever be possible due to the schism in cultures.

If a Malkavian wants to help you, God help you. If you need help from a Malkavian, God can not help you. - Vampire the Masquerade - Redemption (some NPC, can't remember exact quote either)

And regarding Boo the (miniature giant space) hamster from Bladur's Gate.
In the Spelljammer setting (Ansalonian [that is Dragonlance]) (Tinker) Gnomes use Giant Space Hamsters to power some of their ships/tech. There's also firebreathing giant space hamsters, and of course miniature giant space hamsters.

"I used to be an adventurer like you, until I took an arrow to the knee"

Unfortunately, they always finish the sentence, even if you kill them halfway through it. Still, it's a satisfying kill.

"That's the second biggest monkey head I've ever seen!"

 

[Underseer]

"That's the second biggest monkey head I've ever seen!"

The picture helps explain why the quote is insane:
