Favourite Lines From Video Games

I don't know if anyone has posted these yet. No matter what, I have to share these quotes with the world. They come from the great testosterone ogre of '96 himself, Duke Nukem, the Chuck Norris of computer games (in 1996). Specifically, the lines are from the game "Duke Nukem 3-D". The first quote is the first thing he says as soon as the second episode, "Lunar Apocalypse", is chosen. He states, in his riveting, monotone voice, "Nobody steals our chicks... and lives." My personal favorite comes from the start of the third episode, "Shrapnel City". Here, Duke displays his amazing linguistic prowess while precariously balancing his manliness and huge balls. My favorite line from a video game:
"It's time to kick ass and chew bubble-gum, and I'm all outta gum..."
"It's time to kick ass and chew bubble-gum, and I'm all outta gum..."
Starcraft
Wraith--> Most everything said by this unit, after the first 2-3 phrases, is solid gold.
Science Vessel--> see above
Vulture--> ditto
Siege tank--> "Dah da da daaah dah! Dah da da daaah dah!"
Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness
Footman--> "Are you STILL touching me?!"
One of the tips that appears at the beginning of a mission--> "Never pet a burning dog."
Troll Destroyer--> "Who wants to sing?!" click after--> orcs start singing, which sounds like random garbled noises.

Pretty much anything Sgt. Johnson says. And half the unit lines from Starcraft or Warcraft.
Half-Life 2 has a lot of good ones, most of which have already been shared. But the final scene of Half-Life 2: Episode Two is so well done, I have to transcribe the whole thing. It almost brought me to tears, and and will bring me to slaughter every Advisor I meet in Episode Three.
If you don't want detailed spoilers, stop reading now.
Alyx: We'll keep the hailing frequency open in case Judith tries to reach us again.
Eli: Good idea. She could well make another attempt.
*screen goes white*
Alyx: Dad! Gordon, help!
*screen goes back to normal. You, Alyx, and Eli are lying on the floor, helpless. A Combine Advisor floats in*
Alyx: *sees the Advisor* Dad, watch out!
Eli: Alyx!
*you and Alyx are picked off the floor. Eli grabs Alyx's hand. You and Alyx are then pinned to the wall.*
Alyx: Dad! Get away!
Eli: *gets up, grabs a lead pipe* Listen to me, destroy that ship! Whatever it takes! Destroy it! *raises pipe*
Alyx: Don't!
Eli: *whacks the Advisor*
Alyx: Dad, look out!
Advisor: *knocks the pipe away and sends Eli to the ground.*
Alyx: No!
Advisor: *grabs Eli*
Alyx: Dad! Dad! Goddammit, let go of him! *struggles as another advisor enters*
*First advisor moves towards you, second advisor moves towards Eli*
Alyx: Oh my god!
Second advisor: *picks him up*
Eli: I love you, sweetheart. Close your eyes, honey!
Second Advisor: *extends tendril*
Alyx: I love you, dad!
Eli: I know!
Alyx: No, oh my god, NO!
Second Advisor: *sticks tendril into the back of Eli's skull, producing a fountain of blood.*
Alyx: NOOO!
Second Advisor: *seems to be feeding off of Eli*
First Advisor: *grabs Alyx*
Alyx: Gordon... *looks at you*
*your eyes track Alyx. As they do, you see Dog standing at the edge of an opening in the roof. Alyx also sees him*
Alyx: Dog!
Dog: *jumps onto the Advisor, forcing it to drop Alyx*
First Advisor: *squirms away on the ground, escapes out the window*
Second Advisor: *drops Eli's body*
Alyx: Dad!
Second Advisor: *gets the hell out of there*
Alyx: Oh god, Dad *kneels over her father's body* Dad *holds his head* please, Dad *holds his body in her arms* oh my god, Dad *sobs uncontrollably*
*fade to black. Alyx's sobbing continues. It is the last sound of Half-Life 2: Episode Two*
Yes, I did just transcribe the whole scene. I couldn't simply pull a few lines. The whole scene is so beautifully done, I think Valve deserves an award or something.

It's a stolen line (like so many of Duke Nukem lines). It's originally from the film "They Live" starring Rowdy Roddy Piper.ahrnygoose said:

thats a really good point, but the point im trying to make is that it is a funny line in a video game. besides, duke says it in just such a darn funny im-trying-to-sound-like-a-badass-but-i-am-mentioning-bubble-gum-way.Seldon2639 said:
Geneforge 4 has a couple of golden lines. One good one comes from a Rebel camp, in which a recruiting officer is explaining how you'll be able to borrow his men. When asked what happens if they die:
"Well, there's this dark tunnel with a bright light, and on the other side all your ancestors are-oh, wait, that's not what you meant."
"Well, there's this dark tunnel with a bright light, and on the other side all your ancestors are-oh, wait, that's not what you meant."
Though many people say "Anything by HK-47 is gold" I haven't seen any actual quotes (aside from the 'love' one)
Allow me fulfill this need.
"Commentary: The meatbag speaks without clarity. Detail your involvement or the master will splatter your organs all over the floor."
"Statement: Just when I believe my photoreceptors have recorded the last potential aspect of your cruelty to my memory core, you commit a new atrocity that leaves me analyzing its impact for days."
HK-47: "Clarification: It?s just that,you have all these squishy parts master! And all that water! How the constant sloshing doesn?t drive you mad, I have no idea."
Exile: "Now that you mentioned it, I don't know how I do it either."
HK-47: "Statement: Now do you understand the travails of my existence, master? Surely it does not compare to your existence, but still?"
Exile: "I survive. Somehow."
HK-47: "Commentary: As do I. It is our lot in life, I suppose, master. Shall we find something to kill to cheer ourselves up?"
"Deceit: Nothing to see here miss, just a regular droid. Move along, move along."
"Recitation: First, weapon selection is critical. If I see one more idiot attacking a Jedi with a blaster pistol, then I'll kill them myself."
Revan: "You killed 104 people?!"
HK 47: "Oh, it was nothing master. Most of them weren't expecting it, and I move very quickly."
HK-47: "Query: Would you rather be caught with contraband that is 'very' illegal, or just a little illegal?"
Revan: "What's the difference?"
HK-47: "About twenty years, master."
"Observation: I am a droid, master, with programming. Even if I did not enjoy killing, I would have no choice. Thankfully, I enjoy it very much."
Exile: "Do you have any tips on fighting Jedi?"
HK-47: "Answer: Select grenades, sonic screamers, cluster rockets, and plasma charges. Mines are also effective, since many Jedi will run to meet you in hand to hand combat. Silly Jedi."
And a bonus HK-50 quotelist, possibly the most spinechilling conversation I had in a game.
Exile: "Can we see what is going on in the dormitory?"
HK-50: "Apology: Unfortunately, communication with the dormitory section is severed, Master... it is perhaps for the best, especially if any other accidents had occurred in that section. If that were the case, the severed comlink would have spared us the satisfaction of hearing the miner's screams as they lived out their last moments in fear and terror."
Exile: "Satisfaction?"
HK-50: "Rapid Retraction: Why, yes, satisfaction in knowing their fate, master. It would be unfortunate if they had been slaughtered, but there would be a calm, comforting certainty that there is nothing we can do to escape until a ship arrives."
Exile: "Is there a way off this rock?"
HK-50: "Answer: It is only a matter of time before a ship or freighter docks with the Peragus facility. When that occurs, we shall depart this place... forever.
Exile: "I'm not waiting for a ship, I'm getting out of here myself."
HK-50: "Placating Retraction: Oh, of course, master. Please excuse my choice of words. I did not mean to imply that you would have no choice in the matter. Condescending Retraction: I believe you will do your best, master. This facility would have to be nailed down with a droid-level precision to prevent your escape."
Exile: "Why would anyone do such a thing?"
HK-50: "Answer: All that has happened, has been because they believe you to be a Jedi, Master. They debated what to do with you as you lay unconscious in the medical bay. One group seemed intent on selling you as property. The other group opposed this. Three standard hours after the division between the miners became apparent, accidents began to occur throughout the facility. A result of improper maintenance, I believe. These accidents coincided with the degradation of the mining droid behavioral cores... *shakes head, mock sympathy* crude models are prone to such failures, resulting in murderous rampages. The mortality rate of organics in the facility rose quickly. Many miners began to join you in the medical bay as a cascade of flawlessly timed detonations occurred in isolated gas pockets in the lower levels of the facility. The explosions herded the miners into emergency sections of the station, quickly and efficiently cutting them off from communications and facility control... but sadly enough, not the ventilation systems. You see, the explosions had damaged specific sections of this facility's ventilation systems, causing a slow, lethal build up of toxic fumes in the dormitory level.
Exile: "You seem awefully well informed about all this."
HK-50: "Defensive Answer: Master, I am a protocol droid, not a well-crafted assassination droid of unrivalled sophistication. To have carried out the actions that took place here would have required an unusual set of skills. It is highly unlikely I possess the knowledge of how to reprogram the memory cores of base-worker class droids into killing machines....let alone to terminate the organics at this facility, utilizing only Aratech 500 series laser mining drills and explosives fashioned from proton missile cores!"

The body is but a vessel for the soul, a puppet which bends to the soul's tyranny. And lo, the body is not eternal, for it must feed on the flesh of others, lest it return to the dust from whence it came. Therefore must the soul deceive, despise and murder men.

Most men complacently accept ?knowledge? as ?truth.? They are sheep, ruled by fear. But you are different. Always calm, detached. A smooth flow of thought into action. Indeed?It is almost as if?As if you had no soul. How do you do it? Body and soul are one?yet; yours are separated, like a child from the knight in his storybook.
