We were talking with Pax about some stuff we loved about an old game. And it struck me that while we have a thread about games we play, we don't have one about quotes So, in no order: "Why do I exist? So I can rule this world. Why does it exist? So it can be ruled by me. If you want emotion, tears and regret - go ahead, fall in love." ~Dinara, Paradise Cracked "There cannot be two skies. " ~Dakkon, Planescape Torment (and of course putting asterixes around the word *know* ) "Nordom and crossbows wish to go in search in trouble! " ~Nordom, Planescape Torment "What can change the nature of a man?" ~ (poor old) Ravel, Planescape Torment "Ashbury - I've got two words for you: Old People..." ~Geoffrey Tarellond - Ashe, Arcanum “The Living One will live again on wings of fire.” No wait, I think it says “reborn on wings of fire.” Oh, blood and ashes! Why do elves always have to be so damncryptic? ~Virgil, Arcanum "You see...you're him, I mean, the uh...reincarnation of...er, what's his name? I can never remember...and I'm always getting him mixed up with the other fellow...the bad one. You, uh...well, you know how all of those old elven names sound the same..." ~Virgil, Arcanum "I mean you ARE the...of course you are, I mean you DO know who you are, right? Of course you do, what sort of half-baked is that for the uh...what exactly do you call yourself?" ~Virgil, Arcanum "Let me be your donut shop, whisper your order in my ear." ~Malkavian, Vampire: Bloodlines "Oooh, what do we have here? Another scrumptious young plaything straight out of life and into my club? Mmm... you smell new, little boy, like fabric softener dew on freshly mowed Astroturf. Oh, I'm not frightening you, am I, duckling? " ~Jeanette, Vampire: Bloodlines www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gl5vdnBE7w"If you say jump, I say: WHERE IS THE CLIFF?" ~Malkavian, Vampire: Bloodlines "Would you want a hypocrite as your next congressman? Would you want your children to become hypocrites? Vote republican senator Robert Thorn, the candidate NOT accused of being a murderous child pornographer!" ~Radio, Vampire: Bloodlines

Hmm, I can think of many quotes but just from Games is harder.
Almost anything from Portal, almost anything HK47 says in SW:KOTOR and an awful lot from both Freedom Force games.
PORTAL Remember, the Aperture Science Bring Your Daughter to Work Day is the perfect time to have her tested.
The Enrichment Center regrets to inform you that this next test is impossible. Make no attempt to solve it. The Enrichment Center apologizes for this clearly broken test chamber. Once again, the Enrichment Center offers its most sincere apologies on the occasion of this unsolvable test environment. Frankly, this chamber was a mistake. If we were you, we would quit now. No one will blame you for giving up. In fact, quitting at this point is a perfectly reasonable response. Quit now, and cake will be served immediately. Fantastic. You remained resolute and resourceful in an atmosphere of extreme pessimism.
The Vital Apparatus Vent will deliver a Weighted Companion Cube in 3 … 2 … 1. This Weighted Companion Cube will accompany you through the test chamber. Please take care of it. The Enrichment Center reminds you that the Weighted Companion Cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak. The Enrichment Center reminds you that the Companion Cube cannot speak. In the event that the Companion Cube does speak, the Enrichment Center urges you to disregard its advice. If the Weighted Companion Cube could speak – and the Enrichment Center takes this opportunity to remind you that it cannot – it would tell you to go on without it, because it would rather die in a fire than become a burden to you. The symptoms most commonly produced by Enrichment Center testing are superstition, perceiving inanimate objects as "alive", and hallucinations. State and local statutory regulations prohibit it from simply remaining here, alone and companion-less. You must euthanize it. Although the euthanizing process is remarkably painful, 8 out of 10 Aperture Science engineers believe that the Companion Cube is most likely incapable of feeling much pain. You euthanized your faithful Companion Cube more quickly than any test subject on record. Congratulations.
Despite your violent behavior, the only thing you've managed to break so far is my heart
HK47 "Indeed, I am most eager to engage in some unadulterated violence. At your command, of course, master."
"Can I crush his neck now, master? Just a little? It's been a long time fantasy of mine..."
HK-47: "Answer: Simply that the distinction between 'killer' and 'killee' be a clear one. I cannot kill of my own volition, naturally." Revan: "I don't think 'killee' is a word." HK-47: "Expletive: Damn it, master, I am an assassination droid... not a dictionary!"
"Statement: Just a simple droid, here, ma'am. Nothing to see. Move along."
"Definition: 'Love' is making a shot to the knees of a target 120 kilometers away using an Aratech sniper rifle with a tri-light scope. Statement: This definition, I am told, is subject to interpretation. Obviously, love is a matter of odds. Not many meatbags could make such a shot, and fewer would derive love from it. Yet for me, love is knowing your target, putting them in your targeting reticle, and together, achieving a singular purpose, against statistically long odds."
Freedom Force Thug with bat: You're dreaming, Louie. Turner's Law clearly stipulates that ultra high band energy interactions are inherently unstable. You can't just energize a querk and expect it to act like a tachyon. Thug with bat: All I'm saying is that Heisenberg clearly postulates... oh no! Hero-types! Get in character! Thug with bat: We'll smash you good! Thug with bat: Hey, you!
Microwave: In time period of self, self was aware of god-like entities in the temporal/dimensional flow. Alchemiss: Sorry, Microwave. I don't speak gibberish.
The Ant: Guys? Oh, Guys! Giant robot alert! And I mean *now*!
El Diablo: Who are you working for? Gangster: Pinstripe would kill me if I told ya'.
The power of the grave compels you

Actually I wish I could remember the lines from "Dennis Through The Drinking Glass".
It was from the early 1980s and was Text Adventure about guiding Denis Thatcher (Husband of the then UK Prime Minister Maggie Thatcher) out of Number 10 and to the pub. You had to find a drink within 10 moves or you passed out, you could easily get out of the house but not without clothes and the one line I can remember was when you'd drunk a bit too much: "You're drunk, you're drunk you silly old fool and still you cannot see. You have to stay tipsy to play this game with me."

That sounds like an awesome game:)
I'm trying to remember the exact wording of certain Psychonauts quotes...

Well, now, time for me to share the one that prompted this, I guess: Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri / Alien CrossfireAs the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. 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.
Commissioner Pravin Lal, "U.N. Declaration of Rights (Voice over for Planetary Datalinks film.)
SW:KOTOR2"Recitation: Yes, as I said, I am an assassin droid. It is my primary function to burn holes through meatbags that you wish removed from the galaxy... Master. Oh, how I hate that term."
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.
HK-47 (to the Exile, on how to kill Jedi)

hmm... i somehow can only remember one, the one which made the most impression on me:
Assassin's Creed 2: Ezio's mother: You need more outlets to express yourself Ezio: I have plenty of outlets (*shrugs*) The mother: I meant besides [well... you can guess if i told you ezio was a womaniser).

A couple from my favorite Rashemen ranger and his miniature giant space hamster companion, Minsc (and Boo!).
"Evil, meet my Sword! Sword, MEET EVIL!!" "Ah, we are all heroes: You and Boo and I... Hamsters and rangers everywhere REJOICE!!!" "Go for the eyes, Boo! GO FOR THE EYES!!"

Thought I'd bring some Dragon Age in here.
"Morrigan: Ah, so you have finally decided to rejoin us, have you? Falling on your blade in grief seemed like too much trouble, I take it? Alistair: Is my being upset so hard to understand? Have you never lost someone important to you? Just what would you do if your mother died? Morrigan: Before or after I stopped laughing? Alistair: Right... very creepy. Forget I asked."
"Alistair: Were you really locked up in that cage for twenty days? Sten: It may have been more like thirty. I stopped counting after a while. Alistair: What did you do? Twenty days is a long time. Sten: On good days, I posed riddles to passers-by, offering treasures for the correct answers. Alistair: Really? Sten: No."
"Sten: [entering a dwarven tavern] Is this... some sort of mass suicide?"
I'd use some more, but I fear I may not be allowed to.

Honestly? Morrigan could talk complete **** and I'd still be thrilled. Claudia Black's voice acting was amazing. That game would have been far far worse without it. If I have to admit one thing, Bioware sure does care about quality voice acting.

Jon Irenicus : "The Child of Baal has awoken, it is time for more... experiments."
Sarevok : "Flesh and blood and bones! I am alive! Haha! I swore I would crawl my way back to the world of the livings, and I have done it!" (One of the most badass comment ever)

"Hail Mechanon!" - No particular source
Maniac Nemesis : "That Deathray is gonna be like a giant rainbow of doom!" (Paraphrasing...)
Foxbat : "You've just been pre-empted, by the Foxbat Show! Coming to you live! In thrilling Fox-O-Vision!"
- Elder Scrolls III : Morrowind
M'aiq the Liar : "M'Aiq does not know this word. You wish others to help you in your quest? Coward! If you must, search for the Argonian Im-Leet, or perhaps the big Nord, Rolf the Uber. They will certainly wish to join you." - On Multiplayer
M'aiq the Liar : "Ahh... The beauty of the naked form. These Dunmer are rather prudish, are they not? Of course, there is an island you can reach filled with wonderful, naked, glistening bodies. It only appears when the moons are full, the rain falls, the seas run red, and it's M'Aiq's birthday." - On Nudity
M'aiq the Liar : "M'Aiq has heard of this. They've got all the money. Mudcrabs taking over everything. They already run Pelagiad." - On Mudcrab Merchant

M'aiq the Liar : "M'aiq knows much, tells some. M'aiq knows many things others do not."
M'aiq the Liar : "It is good the people wear clothing. M'aiq wears clothing. Who would want to see M'aiq naked? Sick, sick people. Very sad."

Axe Knight : "Kirby's entered from underneath the ship." Bird Captain : "The bottom's weak... the wind is too strong." Sailor Waddle Dee : "It's too cold." Axe Knight : "I'm afraid of heights!" Crying Mace Knight : "No way! I ain't goin'!" Bird Captain : "You chickens!"
Axe Knight : "Kirby is moving into the duct." Bird Captain : "What is he trying to do?" Sailor Waddle Dee : "Is he lost?" (One of the most unwillingly hilarious line ever, as it points out to the audience that maybe their giant battleship is being completely destroyed though random acts of destruction and dumb luck...) ...
- Mass Effect 2
Elnora : "I'm not one of them! I'm new! I thought being Elnora the mercenary would be cool... but I didn't know what they were really like!" *Shepard points a gun at her* Shepard : "You chose your side, Elnora. And you lost."

Nier Gestalt: Kaine(a chick with two swords fighting in lingerie):"Weiss you dumba*s, you better start making sense you rotten book, or you're gonna be sorry. Maybe I'll rip your pages out one by one, or maybe I'll put you in the g*ddamn furnance. How can someone with such a big, smart brain be hypnotized like a little bit*h, huh? Oh, Shadowlord, I love you Shadowlord. Come over here and give Weiss a big sloppy kiss, Shadowlord. Now pull you're head out of your gddd*mn a*s and start fu*king helping us!" Grimsweiss(a talking, floating book, replying to Kaine):"What's wrong? Did you forget all your strengh in your other pair of panties?" Kaine(to Grimweiss): "If you had testicles, I'd cut them off" (All in a fight with a boss, during which Kaine makes up new swear words that could make sailors blush) I friggin' love that game. The writing(and voice acting) was frakkin' awesome. Here's the intro: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VW14pLD8PH0
