"I'm not that kind of Orc!" - Warcraft 2

I shall refrain from posting anymore from those series, so...I'm out for a while until I remember older games anyway.

"SANITY is for the weak!" -- Chaos unit (not sure which), Dawn of War

"Is it just me, or are the Rodians kinda creepy?" -- random merc, Jedi Academy

Just some that immediately popped to mind. I remember being quite amused by that soldier who got possessed in Hellgate: London as well, when he gets possessed by the mad demon thing in midsentence. Something along the lines of "Ooh, I feel like RAPING THE SOULS OF THE ASHES OF CHILDREN" or something in the same vein. Don't have the game anymore, and can't find it on YouTube, anyone remember it?

Few good ones,

Every conversation in No One Lives Forever, especially the assumed correlation between criminal behaviour and beer consumption.

One part in Warcraft III I'll always remember. A friend and I were playing the campaign for Reign of Chaos, and we were talking about Pedophiles, and we finish a level with Kel Thu'zad in it, and he promptly says, "Hello, again my children."

Oh yeah, one of my favourite easter eggs in Warcraft III were the hidden vocal prompts when you click on a hero/unit many times enough. Like Malfurion will talk about how his father was mounted on a wall, the dreadlord will go "If I have wings, why can't I fly?", and the human peasants will start referencing Monty Python. Always cracks me up.

"Less talking, more raiding!" - Sea Raiders, Mount and Blade

"To this day, his memory is honored, and his courage, his shrewdness, and his skill in battle--are legend." - Shogun Total War

"NOT EVEN DEATH CAN SAVE YOU FROM ME" - Diablo, Diablo II

"ENOUGH! I shall take your position into consideration ... [splat]
Well ... it seems your terms are unacceptable." - Baal, Diablo II, LoD

Do I need to repeat myself? Swearing in the Arena is one step closer to getting hit with a banhammer.

"They ran away! Are they afraid of *us*??!" -- Ferengi non-combatant ship commander, Birth of the Federation

I just love how startled he always sounds.


I also love that line from MTW where Sean Pwertee says something about the enemy general being killed in battle, but I forget how it goes now.

EDIT: Found it: "The enemy general is dead, a black heart gone to his deserved grave!"

[Pannonian]

Man's unfailing capacity to believe what he prefers to be true rather than what the evidence shows to be likely and possible has always astounded me. We long for a caring Universe which will save us from our childish mistakes, and in the face of mountains of evidence to the contrary we will pin all our hopes on the slimmest of doubts. God has not been proven not to exist, therefore he must exist.

Remember, genes are NOT blueprints. This means you can't, for example, insert "the genes for an elephant's trunk" into a giraffe and get a giraffe with a trunk. There are no genes for trunks. What you CAN do with genes is chemistry, since DNA codes for chemicals. For instance, we can in theory splice the native plants' talent for nitrogen fixation into a terran plant.

I loved my chosen. How then to face the day when she left me? So I took from her body a single cell, perhaps to love her again.

Einstein would turn over in his grave. Not only does God play dice, the dice are loaded.

Richard Baxton piloted his Recon Rover into a fungal vortex and held off four waves of mind worms, saving an entire colony. We immediately purchased his identity manifests and repackaged him into the Recon Rover Rick character with a multi-tiered media campaign: televids, touchbooks, holos, psi-tours-- the works. People need heroes. They don't need to know how he died clawing his eyes out, screaming for mercy. The real story would just hurt sales, and dampen the spirits of our customers.
* Morgan Stellartots Keynote Speech, "Mythology for Profit"

We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing 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?

From Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri.

...The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master.

Ready to work-Orc peon from Warcraft III

Well, basically 2 friends of mine had an argument on what he was saying. One friend was sure that it was Ready to work, which is correct, but the other one kept on insisting it was Ready to learn, which I don't understand how it makes sense at all. A humorous argument followed and my other friend still somehow thinks its learn...
