“You Must Construct Additional Pylons”

I don’t wanna
Day of the Tentacle
I’ll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.

“SINDRIIII”
For the emprah!
“That is why we do not eyeball it! We are not cowboys shooting from the hip!”
“… And that is why Sir Isaac Newton is the deadliest son of a bitch in space!”
Extremely random one but the TVs in Max Payne show a slideshow of some drama show where the dialogue goes
“My Lord”
“My Lady”
“but my Lord, I must insist!”
Fuck knows why that lives rent free in my mind.
Hope this stays in the remake
I must insist…!
“Job’s done” Warcraft
Definitely. I also get “We’re ready!” “I’m not ready!” from Warcraft in my head every morning. My kids are trolls, maybe?
That’s a good 'un!
Juntax? Who you want me kill?
It’s been a couple decades and I don’t know how it was spelled, but that’s what I remember hearing. Loved playing the Horde.
Do you want axe? Except as “dyouwan tax?”
My life for Aiur… er I mean Ner’Zhul

Watchu want me kill?
They’re all so clear in my head.

“Ur, ur, ur!”
Warcraft has to be the one of the most quotable games of all time.
W-w-w-w-what do you want? Why do you keep touching me? 🎶
The secret audio track on the Warcraft 2 CD was amazing.
In the age of chaos…
In the age of chaos…
In the age of chaos, two factions battled for dominance.
‘Stop poking me!’
“Get yer finger outta that bunghole!”
“I think I’ll use my human call. I’m so wasted, I’m so wasted”.
“Keep yer feet on the ground!”

We had a silly mod for Unreal Tournament back in the day for LAN parties that switched out the headshot theme for crotch shots. Whoever did the voice was spot on with the game’s announcer.
CROTCH SHOT!
CROTCH SPREE!

CROTCH DOMINATION!

HOLY SHIT!
Yes that last one actually existed in UT2004
Especially when you maxed the graphics

Also in UT1999 right? It sits in my memory, but all my friends only played ut1999 until like 2012 lol.

I’m curious, what voice to people hear these lines in, the default epic male announcer voice, or the super horny female announcer alternative?

CONGRATULATIONS!
YOU’VE DESTROYED THE VILE RED FALCON AND SAVED THE UNIVERSE.
CONSIDER YOURSELF A HERO.
I still get a feeling of pride reading those words. Even more when I didn’t use the Konami code.
I only pulled it off with three lives once. It was an endeavor.
Contra and Mario were games I had mastered. Contra I could do reliably with 3 lives. When I was in grade 2 I remember starting up Super Mario 1 and selecting 2 players because my friend was over. Beat the game without giving him a chance. The game didn’t even switch to Luigi after saving the princess.
If you want some real nostalgia, there’s a great cover of the music by VomitroN. They cover the entire game but I’ve linked the end credits here.
Love it! My favorite NES covers are done by the Minibosses

I scrolled past several other Diablo lines before I found this.

“hey listen”
Hilariously I never played the game… It’s my buddies tone for text messages. Lol
After 30 seconds I started to hear “hey, lizard”.
“Destroy him, my robots” from Impossible Mission on the C64.
It was the first videogame I ever heard talk. And full disclosure, 5 year old me, thought it said, “destroy him my-rin bolts”. It wasn’t until years later, my dad actually corrected me.
“Guns guns guns” Brrrrrrr

“Wha-wha wha-wha what do you want? Wha-wha wha-wha what do you want? Why do you keep touching me?
Daah buu daah buu”
The song from warcraft 1 or 2 or something.
I like when computer games used to have a hidden song. Especially when they made it so those songs would play if you put them in a cd player.
It also used to be a thing that some games would just have their sound track play if you put the disc in a cd player. An upside was that the music was all written to the first part of the disc, and the game data was written to the outer rings where it could be read faster on most drives for shorter install times.
“An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded.”
Stand in the ashes of a trillion dead souls and ask the ghosts if honor matters. The silence is your answer.

A man chooses, a slave obeys.
“They have taken you from the Imperial City’s prison, first by carriage and now by boat, to the east, to Morrowind. Fear not, for I am watchful. You, have been chosen.”
“A man chooses! A slave obeys.” - Andrew Ryan, BioShock
In general a lot of Andrew Ryan quotes are captivating, but that one transcends thanks to both the events happening, and the realization of the plot reveal.
Yes, I almost posted this same line!
Would you kindly?
Finally, was worried I wasn’t gonna find this one.

How dare you, you forgot the Ardanian soldier. He was very specific and clear
I’m sorry, I know the one but he was patched before I first played. He only yelled once or twice.
Same game, when you made the Guild Master drunk:
Paraphrasing there, don’t remember the exact quote.

Dammit, I even read it in his fucking voice.
Oh, I know what the ladies like.

Why walk when you can ride?
Morrowind
This thought was violently overridden by the trilling of the silt strider
“Trouble with the trolley, eh?”
Everything that lives is designed to end. We are perpetually trapped… in a never-ending spiral of life and death. Is it a curse? Or some kind of punishment? I often think about the god who blessed us with this cryptic puzzle… and wonder if we’ll have the chance to kill him.
“With this character’s death, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created.”
This ones great. Where does it come from?
Morrowind
Any time a critical character dies (usually because you’re on a killing spree) it says that. But it’s also become a meme when someone famous dies in real life.
I think we’re about six hundred doomed worlds deep by now. Eventually we hope to cross some kind of Einsteinian barrier to get to the other side
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. It happened when important NPCs died, rendering unfinished or future quests associated with that character impossible to complete or start; iirc essential NPCs didn’t have immunity to damage and death in Morrowind like in later Bethesda titles, so these NPCs were protected only by the player reloading their save after getting this message upon the essential NPCs’ death.

“Maximum depth reached. Hull damage imminent”
Yes I have just played Subnautica
“I used to be an adventurer like you. Then I took an arrow in the knee…”
I can’t believe this one from Skyrim wasn’t in the thread yet.
You see those warriors from Hammerfell? They’ve got curved swords. Curved. Swords.
“When a man with a sing-song voice tells me to fuck off, it always concerns me, boy-o”
Yes me lord.

Work work!
My favorites to randomly quote at work:
“More work?”
“Off i go then”
“Stop poking me”
“What, mortal?”
“Im blind, not deaf”
“Youve got a chip on your shoulder, aye, i have fish there too”
“Vrroooom” “It came from… behind…”
“A sound plan”
Just saw the video with the quote recently, so, here goes:
We are SO CLOSE to our destination, we are SO CLOSE! Like, literally, right there! And then you just decide, like a sadistic person, to turn and just go into the fog and kill us! What is wrong with you? You are a sadist! I will not stand for this! I will not stand for this in any way, shape or form! That’s IT! CALL MY AGENT! I WANT MY AGENT!
A line from the main character of Beyond The Edge of Owlsgard. The English voice actor confirmed that the line was improvised. It’s probably a lot more tame in the German dub, but the line is so funny that they probably had to put it in the English dub.
Still sane exile?
“ROCK AND STONE!”

“Look at you, hacker. A pathetic creature of meat and bone.”

"Nice scarf. Do zey make zem for girls?"

The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.
I still use Left 4 Dead’s “pills here!” any time I’m dealing with medication. It’s an involuntary reflex at this point.
Also not really a line but the intonation of Chadley calling out “Cloud!” when he starts a conversation is seared into my psyche. Kind of like a modern version Navi’s “hey!”
Dunno but I can hear Louis, Ellis, Bill voice line “pills here!” when reading that line. It just ear worm thingy

The Thing. You come across a guy that’s infected but still alive. Clearly on the verge of turning. He gives you vital information then says
“If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.”
And proceeds to blow his own brains out.
Boss move. Much respect.
The fun part of “Oh. It’s you.” Is that it can be read in so many ways. It’s not a particularly good line on its own. But the way that it’s said in the voice of GLADOS is just a peak “I’m fucking done with this bitch” mood. Major props to that voice actress.

I’m surprised this isn’t one of the top comments. I don’t even play or have interest RTS games, only ever watched friends play it as a kid and it’s still stuck in my head to this day.

“If you wish to see the fate of democracies, look out the windows.” -Fallout: New Vegas
“I am a meat automaton animated by neurotransmitters.” -Cruelty Squad
“Deploying parachute. Deploying reserve parachute. Skipping parachute.” -Satisfactory
“Prostagma? Vulome” - Greek villager units in Age of Mythology
“My right arm is bigger than my left arm!” - Tryndamere from League of Legends
“Prostagma?” brought back memories. I need to get the Retold edition.
Same here! I’ll probably get it eventually on sale, if only for the polished UI. It looks so good and I’m glad they remade it. I hope we get a modern sequel, at least.
Loved Age of Mythology! A lot of those still get stuck in my head more than 10 years later

“I led them to the light. I alone.” I’m getting goosebumps just writing that down. The moment you finally hear him say it in-game after reading it on the loading screens all the time. It all comes together in the end.

Upon your Titan noticing a new weapon that’s more powerful, the main character comments “I think someone’s in love…”
BT’s response is priceless.
BT-7274: “The human concept of love requires admiration, attraction, devotion, and respect. Conclusion: I am 50% in love.”
"I don’t know if I’m good or evil. Stupid words, anyway… But I’m trying to be gentle to others and hard on myself. I know how to sympathize and not judge. I try to love whoever I touch. That’s the only answer I have."

Only lines with voice work for me, even though there are plenty of great unvoiced lines across games. Sorted by game… I think this post certainly puts me of a generation.
Honestly one of the most quoteable games ever made.
Love a good ham. We need more of them in video games.
“This guy are sick”
I need a target
“You plague-ridden rat!” Huntsman, Bloodborne
There are many more iconic lines in the game, but this one sticks in my mind, probably because you meet so many Huntsman and this is one of their favourite lines.

This feels relevant: The Device has been Modified by Victims of Science a song made of quotes from Portal.

Love Tales of Berseria. Velvet’s English voice actress excellently communicated such complex emotions ranging from anger, compassion, grief, and peace. Probably time for another replay!
Only started playing it fairly recently. It’s been hanging out in my Steam library for some time after I received it from Humble Monthly quite some time ago. Decided to try it on my Deck. Runs flawlessly despite being marked as “unsupported” by Steam.
English voice acting is surprisingly good. In a JRPG I’d always find someone who’s jarring to listen to, and it’s pretty terrible if that’s the main character. But so far I haven’t found any character that annoyed me, and like you said, the actress of Velvet seems to have no weakness in voice acting skill; she can sound soft and tender, moody and dark, and scream with rage. I wish anime had more English VAs like that, instead of the default 3 voices everyone seems to use.
Not sure how I feel about combat, though. I know it’s a staple of the Tales series, but I’d much rather fight enemies on the map than being sucked into an encounter like a turn based JRPG.
I’m at the part where Velvet joins with a pirate Reaper to take over a fortress to clear the way forward. I’ve cleared out the control room and soon will be capturing an enemy battleship. So far the story has been… incredibly edgy. I’m not sure if it’ll change, but Velvet is basically female Sasuke from Naruto Shippuden in attitude. I really like the presentation, however. Cutscenes are animated in-engine and transition to animated anime slides. Very clever.

Sister Calderón: We’ve all lived bad lives, Mr. Morgan. We all sin… but I know you.
Arthur: You don’t know me.
Sister Calderón: Forgive me, but… that’s the problem. You don’t know you.
Arthur: What do you mean?
Sister Calderón: I don’t know… whenever we happen to meet, you’re always helping people and smiling.
Arthur: I had a son… he passed away. I had a girl who loved me… I threw that away. My momma died when I was a kid, and my daddy… well, I watched him die. And it weren’t soon enough.
Sister Calderón: My husband died a long time ago. Life is full of pain. But there is also love, and beauty.
Arthur: What am I gonna do now?
Sister Calderón: Be grateful that for the first time, you see your life clearly. Perhaps you could help somebody? Helping makes you really happy.
Arthur: But… I still don’t believe in nothin’.
Sister Calderón: Often, neither do I. But then, I meet someone like you, and everything makes sense
Arthur: Heh… You’re too smart for me, Sister. I guess I… I’m afraid.
Sister Calderón: There is nothing to be afraid of. Take a gamble that love exists, and do a loving act.
I have played two full play-throughs, and a few half passed play-throughs. RDR2 is an absolute masterpiece that made me feel way more than I ever expected a video game to.

Gunnery Chief: This, recruits, is a 20-kilo ferrous slug. Feel the weight. Every five seconds, the main gun of an Everest-class dreadnought accelerates one to 1.3 percent of light speed. It impacts with the force of a 38-kiloton bomb. That is three times the yield of the city-buster dropped on Hiroshima back on Earth. That means Sir Isaac Newton is the deadliest son-of-a-bitch in space. Now! Serviceman Burnside! What is Newton’s First Law?
Serviceman Burnside: Sir! An object in motion stays in motion, sir!
Gunnery Chief: No credit for partial answers, maggot!
Serviceman Burnside: Sir! Unless acted on by an outside force, sir!
Gunnery Chief: Damn straight! I dare to assume you ignorant jackasses know that space is empty. Once you fire this hunk of metal, it keeps going till it hits something. That can be a ship, or the planet behind that ship. It might go off into deep space and hit somebody else in ten thousand years. If you pull the trigger on this, you are ruining someone’s day, somewhere and sometime. That is why you check your damn targets! That is why you wait for the computer to give you a damn firing solution! That is why, Serviceman Chung, we do not “eyeball it!” This is a weapon of mass destruction. You are not a cowboy shooting from the hip!
Serviceman Chung: Sir, yes sir!
Mass Effect had some real good dialogue for background chatting. This piece in particular is really immersive and funny to boot.

If you’re talking about the engineering quote, I actually have the engineers from command and conquer red alert in my head.
However…….commandos is an awesome series as well!!!
I think they’re talking about the Guten Tag quote. If I remember correctly that is what you hear when your spy is in disguise and starts talking with an enemy soldier (I don’t remember the chain guns so I’m guessing this is from a different game).
