quote from why does this pantsless child
have a sword I gave it to him it’s
dangerous to go alone welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
most quotable lines in videogames I’m
glad and all but why are you here I just
had something I wanted to check for this
list we’re taking a look at the most
poetic clever and iconic lines that are
tied to videogame narratives we’ve
excluded famous catchphrases from video
games because we already have a list for
that you what what are you talking about
also keep in mind that in order to fully
dissect some of these quotes a couple of
spoilers can’t be avoided is a man not
entitled to the sweat of his brow number
10
what is a man a miserable little pile of
secrets Castlevania Symphony of the
Night what is a man a miserable little
pile of secrets you’re a literary buff
you might know that this line actually
originated from the French novelist on
Fame at home if you spent your childhood
playing video games instead of reading
books though you’ll likely recognize
this quote from castlevania symphony of
the night when Richter Belmont first
confronts Dracula
but a visible pile of secrets the voice
acting might be a little cheesy as is
the dialogue itself yet trakula’s
analysis of mankind is the perfect way
to transition into a battle as Richter
shows the vampire king what men are
really made of what is a man a miserable
little pilot secret although the line
did get tweaked in the PSP version to
sound a little more well like English it
still doesn’t have the same ring to it
huh mankind a cesspit of hatred and lies
number 9 why that’s the second biggest
monkey head I’ve ever seen The Secret of
Monkey Island why that’s the second
biggest monkey head I’ve ever seen
The Monkey Island series is renowned for
its quirky dialogue reminiscent of a
great Saturday morning cartoon I’m not
giving you blood suckers your key to the
monkey head until you return my banana
picker as the would-be pirate guy brush
stupid first arrives on the island he
stumbles upon a giant monkey head idle
as glorious as the monument is guy brush
notes he’s seen bigger one can’t help
but wonder where guy brush would have
seen a larger monkey head or just how
big it was you ain’t going nowhere
until you give us something although it
remains a mystery
this quote epitomizes the clever writing
that made secret of monkey island an
unparalleled comedic adventure private
property worshipping is permitted but
please do not enter the monkey head
number eight I used to be an adventurer
like you then I took an arrow in the
knee elderscrolls v skyrim i used to be
an adventurer like you then I took an
arrow in the knee what makes Skyrim such
an addictive game is it’s fast seemingly
inhabitable world it feels like everyone
and everything has a backstory including
the random guards go on get out of here
at some point you’re bound to encounter
a nostalgic guard who gave up
adventuring after a fatal accident
seriously one arrow to the knee stopped
you imagine what this pansy would do
with a vampire bit and more dragons
attacked
regardless its tidbits of dialogue like
this that demonstrate how detailed
Skyrim is making you want to explore
every corner and talk to every character
all you need to know is that we’re
paying for information if that doesn’t
interest you feel free to walk away
number seven would you kindly Bioshock
it’s the build-up and shocking payoff
that makes these three simple words
immortal throughout Bioshock the voice
of Atlas guides Jack through rapture
kindly asking him to do the occasional
favor along the way as often as the
phrase is repeated you rarely think
anything of it because you know Atlas is
Irish they say funny things at the
game’s climax however it’s reveal if the
Atlas was truly the sinister Frank
Fontaine was manipulated jack into
killing Andrew Ryan amongst other things
would you kindly
powerful phrase familiar phrase in
addition to headlining one of the
greatest video game betrayals the line
makes for a fascinating commentary on
free choice in video games
what are you kindly number six you are
almost a Jill sandwich resident evil’
that was too close you were almost a
Jill sandwich
anybody who’s a fan of resident evil can
identify this infamous quote from the
franchise’s first outing that was a
close one a second late you would have
fit nicely into a sandwich as Jill
Valentine
you find yourself trapped in a room
where the ceiling is gradually
collapsing on you fortunately Barry
Burton is there to knock the door down
with Jill out of harm’s way
Barry delivers a line that’s hilarious
in all the wrong ways you’re right the
one-liners corniness is only made more
ridiculous by the stinted voice acting
as silly as it might be
Jill San which was sorely missed in the
2002 GameCube remake although it does
reappear in Revelations – are you okay
yeah I was almost a glare sandwich Oh
Barry don’t everyone is Horry number
five did I ever tell you the definition
of insanity far cry 3 the definition of
insanity yes boss Montenegro is insanity
incarnate just staring into those dead
eyes is enough to send a chill up
anyone’s fine did I ever tell you the
definition of insanity as the
disoriented player opens his eyes he
finds himself at the mercy of the last
person anyone would want to wake up to
I’m gonna try
a bullet through my sister’s skull
to other craft in a monologue worthy of
Shakespeare or at least Tarantino now
that right now here’s a definition of
insanity boss discusses how insanity
stems from doing the same thing over and
over again but expecting different
results
that is crazy bosses final question
brings his rant full circle encompassing
the endless loop of insanity that is his
mind did I ever tell you the definition
of insanity number four it’s dangerous
to go alone take this The Legend of
Zelda the old man from The Legend of
Zelda can be a royal pain making you
papers door repair it’s hard to stay mad
at the old-timer though after all he did
give the ill-equipped link his first
sword free of charge and sent him on his
quest with one of the most famous lines
in gaming
it’s dangerous to go alone take this I’m
coming down without his generosity
exploring dungeons and ultimately
defeating Ganon would be infinitely more
challenging despite being a bit of a
cheapskate the old man doesn’t want to
see you link meet with a terrible fate
number three the right man in the wrong
place can make all the difference in the
world half life to rise the g-man is one
of the most mysterious figures ever to
grace the gaming universe as half-life 2
opens in a psychedelic sequence he
awakens Gordon Freeman and places him in
city 17 wake up and smell the ashes
fading away like a mad dream the g-man
leaves the man of no words with these
unforgettable words the right man in the
wrong place can make all the difference
in the world the line is every bit as
cryptic as the g-man himself making the
player wonder how he’s planning to take
advantage of Gordon’s services all we
know is that Gordon is once again the
right man in the wrong place in the mean
time this is where I get off
number 2 thank you Mario but our
princess is in another castle Super
Mario Brothers hmm when gamers first
popped Super Mario Brothers into their
NES many assumed they had reached the
game’s conclusion at level 1 for
it turns out that the Bowser before
Mario was a fraud however and his
princess was in another castle you
better get used to an annoying little
toad telling you this at the end of
almost every world as you travel through
the Mushroom Kingdom
but upon arriving at the final castle
the persistent plumber at last defeats
the real Bowser and rescues the princess
into the most satisfying of endings
before we reveal our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions my wife I had
another one another visitor say well
stay forever
stay a while and listen it’s time to
kick ass and chew bubblegum I’m all out
of gun number one war war never changes
fallout series
war war never changes
although Solid Snake might disagree war
has changed the Fallout series has
asserted time and time again that war
never changes and war war never changes
this line sticks with us not only
because it’s repeated at the beginning
of virtually every game but because of
its poignancy whoa
war never changes the end of the world
occurred pretty much as we had predicted
while every war has its own unique
signature the horrors of combat are
perennial regardless of the technology
used the forces involved and the year it
takes place the game was rigged from the
start whether you’re fighting in a civil
war or a post-apocalyptic war war will
always be hell war war never changes
or does it the water has changed do you
