Odd quotes that stick

[Xeneth]

It's not very odd, and it's probably also misquoted/mangled from some literature that a translator liked, but I often find myself coming back to a flyover of a vast Mode7 world... Pure pixellated possibility scrolling by as a haunting note fell over the narrated backstory to the world I was about to enter:

"...But time flows like a river, and history repeats..."

Secret of Mana/Seiken Densetsu 2

[Donk]

"But what am I supposed to do with all this cheese?"

[gdf]

"Kiss off, twit!"

Vintage Shenmue.

[Scratch]

Just a bunch of random quotes that frequently pop into my head.

"Duty is heavier than a mountain, Death lighter than a feather."

"Don't build a castle of suspicions on one word."

"Books are not made to be believed, but to be subjected to inquiry."

"A pig painted gold is still a pig."

[Henroid]

"All that twitters is not gold."

[Sno]

"

."

That game starts out so hopeful and optimistic, and just wham.

The barely contained emotion in the line delivery sells it so hard.

Also, MGS4 and Fallout 3 coming out in the same year with marketing all over the place pushing the opposing viewpoints of "War has changed" and "War never changes".

That still cracks me up, it was like an election debate.

[Colourful Stuff]

"Reloading!"

[Henroid]

"Who's the badass biotic now, bitch?!" Oh wait.

[Security_Tubbs]

"

."

That game starts out so hopeful and optimistic, and just wham.

The barely contained emotion in the line delivery sells it so hard.

"The subject did not survive interrogation"

That really struck me. They didn't make you wonder and speculate what happened to the captured captain. And they made it clear that they didn't treat him "nobly", like locking him for the rest of his life or something similar.
