Video Game Quotes To Live By

Archive: 39 posts


I'm looking for some interesting quotes from video games, that are inspirational, or hold good advice. The kind of thing you'd have on a poster or a tattoo. For example; "There is no sense crying over every mistake, you just keep on trying 'til you run out of cake."

Thanks

"You were right..."
"About what?"
Everything you touch DOES turn to ****."

Karl Schafer and Nate Drake, Uncharted 2

"All men dream; but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that itl was vanity. But the dreamers of the day are dangerous men; for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible. This I did."

Not necessarily a video game quote, seeing as T.E Lawrence originally made it, but it was in the Uncharted 3 trailer and it was epic, I know this one by heart.

"Don't throw us just because you're angry. That's just not the way to go, dood." - One of the things a prinny says to you when talked to in your homeroom in Disgaea 3

"When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your **** lemons! What am I supposed to do with these?! Demand to see life's Manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give [insert name here] LEMONS!! Do you know who I am?! I'm the man who's gonna BURN your house down! With the LEMONS! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that BURNS your HOUSE DOWN!"2011-07-19 23:12:00

"Your actions have meaning only if they hold true to your ideals."
-Ramza Beoulve from FF Tactics, and one of the lesser known yet one of, if not the most heroic character in the FF franchise.

[Paraphrased] "Well, look around at the world we live in...I've read about what it used to be like, and this isn't it. So we all need something that keeps us going, despite all the terrible things around us...did you ever try to put a broken piece of glass back together? Even if the pieces fit, you can't make it whole again the way it was. But if you're clever, you can still use the pieces to make other useful things. Maybe even something wonderful, like a mosaic. Well, the world broke just like glass. And everyone's trying to put it back together like it was, but it'll never come together the same way..."
-Moira Brown from Fallout 3. While the tentative theme of the Fallout franchise as a whole is that "War never changes," its more subtle and arguably much more important message is the importance of building a better future then trying to recreate a fondly remembered past that can never truly return and may have not really been as good as one remembers in the first place.

Quote From one of the best Story Lines in a Game Ever; No game before or since has blurred the boundaries between good/evil, hero/villain to such an extent.
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater ;

Boss:In 1960 I saw a vision of the ideal future from space. Three years earlier the Soviet Union had succeeded in launching Sputnik, the first manmade satellite in history, into orbit. This came as a huge shock to the United States. In response, America threw everything it had into its own manned space flight project, the Mercury project. Even as the Soviets seemed poised to send their first man into space America was still experimenting with chimpanzees in rockets. The government wanted human data. So they secretly decided to send a human being into space. I was the one they chose. At the time they didn't have the technology to block out cosmic rays and whoever they sent up would inevitably be exposed to heavy radiation. That's why they chose me. After all, I had already been irradiated once. Of course, you won't find any of this in the history books. I could see the planet as it appeared form space. That's when it finally hit me. Space exploration is nothing but another game in the power struggle between the US and USSR. Politics, economics, the arms race - they're all just arenas for meaningless competition. I'm sure you can see that. But the Earth itself has no boundaries. No East, No West, No Cold War. And the irony of it is, the United States and the Soviet Union are spending billions on their space programs and the missile race only to arrive at the same conclusion. In the 21st century everyone will be able to see that we are all just inhabitants of a little celestial body called Earth. A world without communism and capitalism... that is the world I wanted to see. But reality continued to betray me.

"Listen carefully, Flonne. There is no such thing as absolute evil or absolute good.
The angels assume that they are good and the demons are evil. That is an unfortunate misconception.
Demons do have love. The angels... and in fact, most demons, just do not realize it.
If we can guide them... If we can make them see, then one day..."

What can I say? Portal 1 and 2 were made for quoting.


"When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your **** lemons! What am I supposed to do with these?! Demand to see life's Manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give [insert name here] LEMONS!! Do you know who I am?! I'm the man who's gonna BURN your house down! With the LEMONS! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that BURNS your HOUSE DOWN!"

So he wants explosive lemons... Lemon grenades, right? That would be lemon nades.

While Ratchet is fighting his way trough hordes of enemies ...


Since I don't have much time left, I'd just like to apologize to a few people. Timmy Aberdeen, I was the one who lit your backpack on fire, and I'm sorry that you couldn't get it off in time.
Susie Binkleton, I was the one who put the Tyhrranoid in your locker. Hey, but I hear the therapy is going well, though. Chin up, kid!
And finally to you, Juanita, my dear, sweet Juanita. I'm sorry for six years of rude jokes, harassing innuendo, and those friendly little pinches in the elevator. But who am I kidding you, you love it!


See, this is what they mean by gratuitous violence, Juanita. I'm going to call my kids and tell them to stop watching! ... Just as soon as I have kids.


Interesting fact, folks, DreadZone started over two guys fighting over a breakfast burrito, and the rest is history.


Remember, don't try this at home, go to a friends house!


Folks, just a reminder. Tomorrow is Kick Your Best Friend in the Pants Day! Free popcorn for everyone who participate.

All from Ratchet Gladiator/Deadlocked.
