Best quote in a computer game? - Chess Forums

What is it? You tell me.

My personal fave is "Undabu" by one of the leaders of the orcs in Warcraft 3. Me and a lot of my friends use it as a greeting. You say it nicely for uncasual, and for serious greetings (like your boss), you would say it with emphasis and boldly.

Both of mine are in my signature (replace "Addy" (my name) with "Seth" for the real quote in the second case), though most of The Brotherhood of Nod's slogans in Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun are up there.

"Peace Through Power"
"Kane Lives in Death"
"The Technology of Peace!" *incidentally, genocide is said technology hehe*

You know, everyone quotes that one line, but the rest of that intro is just as good.

Captain: You know what you doing.
Captain: Move 'ZIG'.
Captain: For great justice.

My favorite part was always "Somebody set up us the bomb." I sometimes use that to describe my chess games when they go wrong.

Apparently, the great irony here is that the original Japanese was actually very well written. On Wikipedia, someone gave a detailed translation of the original Japanese, so people would know what the game creators actually intended:

CATS: With help from the Federation Government forces, we, CATS, have taken over all of your bases.
CATS: Before long, your ship will meet its end as well.
Captain: It-It can't be...!
CATS: I thank you for your cooperation.
CATS: Cherish these few remaining moments of your lives.
CATS: Ha ha ha ha ha...

Captain: They're all we have left―
Captain: ―to entrust the hope of our future...
Captain: We're counting on you, ZIG!!
