What are the "best" quotes in video game history?
Before you respond, let me clarify by posting what I think are the "best" quotes from video game history...

- "All your base are belong to us"

- "Uh oh, the truck have started to move"- Metal Gear, NES

- "My fist have your blood of them"- Street Fighter II



What are your favorites?

Peace,

11. Some of my favorites...
'Beware, I live!' - Sinistar

'I hunger!' - Sinistar

'You all sound like chapters in a self-help booklet!' - Final Fantasy 6

'Barf! vomit! barf, barf! chuck! chuck! Drown to death in puke! Don't you think that's an incredibly masculine taunt to throw at you?' - Earthbound

'Eddie, you can't kill somebody just because of the way they looked at you!'
'Oh yeah? Why not?' - Silent Hill 2

Pretty much anything in Resident Evil 4, that game had corny dialogue that was classic 'Resident Evil' lame:

'No thanks, 'bro'!'

'I've sent my right hand to dispose of you.'
'Your right hand comes off?'

'Hasta luego.' (meant to be a one-liner. Turns into fail, then epic fail.)

22. Not really quotes but Weazel News articles on GTA 4
In news that will surprise no one, an official piece of research carried out by pollsters for Weazel News revealed that most terrorists are also committed to the so-called liberal agenda in this country. 90% of the terrorists our researchers spoke to admitted that a government committed to an agenda of porn in schools, compulsory gay marriage for all, and the dreaded universal healthcare is just the kind of government they will take great pleasure in blowing to kingdom come. We will stay with this story as it develops into something substantiated

------------

Officials indicated that liberals in Congress were to blame, and that investigations into warrantless wiretapping were giving comfort to our enemies - so much comfort we might as well give terrorists fleece blankets and let them curl up next to the cozy fireplace that is America and drink chai tea on all of our tax dollars, just like they do in Britain

http://www.rockstargames.com/IV/wet/weazelNews/weazelNews.xml

I can't find the articles that are my favorites but some of them include phrases such as the "Liberal 'blame america first' media"

27. "Metal Gear!"
- Every Metal Gear Solid game

I'm pretty sure that Kojima threw that line into every game after the first one, because he realized what an unintentionally funny, eminently quotable in a bad-action-movie-hero kind of way that it was the first time. When it happened in MGS4, I had to pause the game because I was laughing so hard, and I didn't want to miss any of the story.
