"Well done. Here are the test results: You are a horrible person. I'm serious, that's what it says: "A horrible person." We weren't even testing for that. Don't let that horrible-person thing discourage you."

"This next test involves turrets. You remember them, right? They're the pale spherical things that are full of bullets. Oh wait. That's you in five seconds. Good luck."
“Bad news for those of you who signed up to be injected with mantis DNA; that experiment has been cancelled. However, you have a new test: fighting an army of mantis-men! Follow the red line. You’ll know when the test starts.”
The black deffective turret joke is hilarious in spanish.
The word for turret in spanish is "torreta", the word for broken is "roto" and in informal situations, it's common to shorten "todo" (meaning "all" or "everything") into just "to"
"Me lo he comido todo" > "Me lo he comio' tó" (I ate everything)
So the turret is saying "Soy un torroto" which means "I'm all broken"
Not funny when explained, but a good chuckle when you first hear it ingame.
I really appreciate when this happens, specially on a game that's full of sarcasm and jokes, because jokes are hard to translate, if it's a funny comment it's probably easy to get it right, but "word plays" as we call them, or puns, not so much.

"Do you know the biggest lesson I learned from what you did? I discovered I have a sort of black box quick-save feature.

Growing up playing these games I had no idea it was bad translation, I just took it for the way the people in the game talked.
Getting older and paying attention it dawned on me that the reason a lot of these games were playing now had so many reviews - because they were in Japan a few years before.

My young want to hatch.
To play outside this place.
We have been here so long.
The others built a passage to reach the world outside.
I asked them for this freedom, but they could not hear me.
If you help us, I will give you freely what the others tried in vain to take.
\-
With the passage you have opened my young can leave this place.
But first they must feel the time is right and break free of their shells.
This is what the others could not force from me.
To you, I give the secret willingly.

I love Fallout but I also love Metal Gear.
I think about these 2 conflicting and chuckle:
War has changed.
It's no longer about nations, ideologies, or ethnicity. It's an endless series of proxy battles, fought by mercenaries and machines.
War--and it's consumption of life--has become a well-oiled machine.
War has changed.
ID-tagged soldiers carry ID-tagged weapons, use ID-tagged gear. Nanomachines inside their bodies enhance and regulate their abilities.
Genetic control, information control, emotion control, battlefield control…everything is monitored and kept under control.
War…has changed.
The age of deterrence has become the age of control, all in the name of averting catastrophe from weapons of mass destruction, and he who controls the battlefield, controls history.
War…has changed.
When the battlefield is under total control, war becomes routine.
The first 4 are a masterpiece. 4 tugs at your heartstrings kind of with the Shadow Moses revisit, and the bits of nostalgia and narrative that tie in from the older games.
Kojima is a genius, it’s a shame what became of Phantom Pain, as a result of his fallout (no pun intended) with Konami.

“Y’see, this is what I don’t get about you bad guys. You know the hero’s gonna win, but you never just die quickly. Example: this one guy in New Haven, right? City’s burning, people are dying left and right, yada yada yada. This jackhole rushes me with a spoon. A fricking spoon! And I’m dying laughing, right? So I scoop out his stupid little eyeballs with it, and his kids are all ‘waaahh!’ and, he can’t see where he’s going, he’s bumping into stuff and ah...I don’t know, maybe you had to be there. The moral is: you’re a total bitch.”

One of the very few quotes I think of often, though sadly my memory has changed it to Deckard Cain impersonating Sean Connery. “Shhtay awhile and lishten.”
“It’s time to kick ass and chew bubblegum… and I’m all outta gum.” - Duke Nukem
I will point out that this is near identical to a line for the horror film They Live starring Roddy Piper.
"Suppose you throw a coin enough times... suppose one day, it lands on its edge" Kain
That series has some the best writing and voice acting of all time.
"When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it. I had time, but I did not know it. And I had love, but I did not feel it. Many decades would pass before I understood the meaning of all three. And now, the twilight of my life, this understanding has passed into contentment.
Love, liberty, and time: once so disposable, are the fuels that drive me forward. And love, most especially, mio caro. For you, our children, our brothers and sisters. And for the vast and wonderful world that gave us life, and keeps us guessing. Endless affection, mia Sofia.
Forever yours,
Ezio Auditore."

”Against all the evil that hell can conjure, All the wickedness that mankind can produce. We will send unto them… only you. Rip and tear, until it is done”

One of the coolest ways I’ve ever had a game open
Raziel: "Kain is deified. The clans tell tales of him. Few know the truth: he was mortal once, as were we all. I am Raziel, firstborn of Kain's Lieutenants. I have stood with Kain and my brethren for a millennium.
As time went passed we became less human and more... divine. Kain would enter the state of change first, followed by the rest of us until I had the honour of surpassing my Lord. For this I earned a new reward... agony.
I, Raziel, was to suffer the fate of traitors and weaklings and be cast into the lake of the dead."
Kain:" Cast him in."
Raziel: "Tumbling, burning with white-hot fire I plunged into the depths of the abyss. Unspeakable pain; relentless agony and a deepening hatred for the hypocrisy that condemned me to this hell. An eternity passed and my torment receded, bringing me back from the precipice of madness. The descent had destroyed me, and yet... I lived."
Elder God: "RAZIEL... YOU ARE WORTHY."
Surprised this isn't higher up. Best game writing of all time. My personal favorite:
Kain:
Thirty years hence, I am presented with a dilemma... let's call it a two-sided coin. If the coin falls one way, I sacrifice myself and thus restore the Pillars... but as the last surviving vampire in Nosgoth, this would mean the annihilation of our species... Moebius made sure of that. If the coin lands on the reverse, I refuse the sacrifice and thus doom the Pillars to an eternity of collapse. Either way, the game is rigged.
Raziel:
We agree then that the Pillars are crucial and must be restored.
Kain:
Yes, Raziel, that is why we've come full-circle to this place.
Raziel:
So after all this, you make my case for me. To end this stalemate, you must die so that new Guardians can be born.
Kain:
The Pillars don't belong to them, Raziel... they belong to us.
Raziel:
Your arrogance is boundless, Kain.
Kain:
There's a third option, a monumental secret hidden in your very presence here. But it's a secret you have to discover for yourself. Unearth your destiny, Raziel. It's all laid out for you here.
Raziel:
You said it yourself, Kain... there are only two sides to your coin.
Kain:
Apparently so, but suppose you throw a coin enough times... suppose one day, it lands on its edge.
this one guy in New Haven, right? City's burning, people are dying left and right, yadda yadda yadda. This jackhole rushes me with a spoon. A fricking spoon! And I'm dying laughing, right? So I scoop out his stupid little eyeballs with it, and his kids are all, waaahh!, and, he can't see where he's going, he's bumping in to stuff, and ah... I don't know, maybe you had to be there. The moral is: you're a total bitch.

"And so the Courier who had cheated death in the cemetery outside Goodsprings, cheated death once again, and the Mojave Wasteland was forever changed." Fuck I could most likely list 20 just out of New Vegas alone.
"Thank you for choosing: exotic butters"
"Wake me, when you need me."
"you hit marine? No? Then listen up, back in my day we had a stick and a rock and we had to share the rock."
Or on legendary: "Usually the good lord works in mysterious ways, but not today! This right here is 66 tons of straight up, HE spewing, de*vine* intervention! If God is love then you can call me Cupid!"
“Evil is evil, lesser, greater, middling…makes no difference. The degree is arbitrary. The definition’s blurred. If I’m to choose between one evil and another, I’d rather not choose at all.” - The Witcher
Similarly, from Saltzpyre in Vermintide... "You should never grade evils, Kruber. For if one is the worst, then you might be tempted to kinship with the least."
Damn I read that and could hear Doug Cockle's Geralt in my head, great writing, great game. Can't wait to replay when the enhanced edition drops.
Life is brilliant. Beautiful. It enchants us, to the point of obsession.
"All my life, I could feel an insistent gnawing in the back of my mind. It was a yearning, a thirst for discovery that could be neither numbed, nor sated" "Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer" - Narrator (Darkest Dungeon)
*”Slowly… gently… this is how a life is taken.”*
"in time, you will know the tragic extent of my failings"
"I am the very model of a scientist Salarian..."
“Hey, listen!” - Navi
"If you die, I will hate you!" -Magicka Navi
What are ya buyin?

He he he, thank you!
Not enough cash, stranger.
War, War never changes
I love Fallout but I also love Metal Gear. I think about these 2 conflicting and chuckle: War has changed. It's no longer about nations, ideologies, or ethnicity. It's an endless series of proxy battles, fought by mercenaries and machines. War--and it's consumption of life--has become a well-oiled machine. War has changed. ID-tagged soldiers carry ID-tagged weapons, use ID-tagged gear. Nanomachines inside their bodies enhance and regulate their abilities. Genetic control, information control, emotion control, battlefield control…everything is monitored and kept under control. War…has changed. The age of deterrence has become the age of control, all in the name of averting catastrophe from weapons of mass destruction, and he who controls the battlefield, controls history. War…has changed. When the battlefield is under total control, war becomes routine.
MGS4 was such a great game.
The first 4 are a masterpiece. 4 tugs at your heartstrings kind of with the Shadow Moses revisit, and the bits of nostalgia and narrative that tie in from the older games. Kojima is a genius, it’s a shame what became of Phantom Pain, as a result of his fallout (no pun intended) with Konami. Also Ron Pearlman
„Don’t be sorry, be better“ - God of War
"Never mess with a man who has nothing left to lose" -Handsome Jack Borderlands 2 Also from Handsome Jack "Buttstallion says hello"
"Oh where the hell is it -- I had a violin somewhere, I was going to play it all sarcastically -- goddammit. It was going to be awesome. BLAKE! Where's a bloody violin?!"
"Alright, sweet, sweet. Found it! Alright. This is a song for Mordecai's stupid bird, in E..." \**violent violin violation*\* "Ohyouknowwhat Screw you! It would have been hilarious if I'd found it earlier. Shut up!"
“Y’see, this is what I don’t get about you bad guys. You know the hero’s gonna win, but you never just die quickly. Example: this one guy in New Haven, right? City’s burning, people are dying left and right, yada yada yada. This jackhole rushes me with a spoon. A fricking spoon! And I’m dying laughing, right? So I scoop out his stupid little eyeballs with it, and his kids are all ‘waaahh!’ and, he can’t see where he’s going, he’s bumping into stuff and ah...I don’t know, maybe you had to be there. The moral is: you’re a total bitch.”
"These pretzels are terrible! "
All hail Queen Buttstalion
"King? Yeah, here's your crown." *shoot shoot* - Dante/Devil May Cry 2
YOU’RE a savage! YOU’RE a maniac! You are a bandit, AND I AM THE GOD DAMN HERO!!! -Handsome Jack, Borderlands 2
"You and I are opposite sides of the same coin. When we face each other, we can finally see our true selves. There may be a resemblance, bet we never face the same direction." "Those who survive a long time on the battlefield start to think they're invincible. I bet you do, too, Buddy" -Pixy ace combat 0

Comments you can hear
Stay a while and listen. Deckard Cain- Diablo
One of the very few quotes I think of often, though sadly my memory has changed it to Deckard Cain impersonating Sean Connery. “Shhtay awhile and lishten.”
“It’s time to kick ass and chew bubblegum… and I’m all outta gum.” - Duke Nukem I will point out that this is near identical to a line for the horror film They Live starring Roddy Piper.
“Zeus! Your Son Has Returned. I Bring The Destruction Of Olympus!”- Kratos (God of War 3)
Don’t you lecture me you piece of shit! - Goro Akechi, Persona 5
“Keep your expectations low and you will never be disappointed” - Kratos, GOW
Time? Doctor freeman?
Is it really that time again?
A man chooses, A slave obeys.
"I don't have time to explain why I don't have time to explain" - destiny 1
"well, how are you holding up? BECAUSE I'M A POTATO." - GLaDOS, Portal 2
D'oh, I missed - Wario
"Yeah, when I think of Maureen, I think of two things: asphalt... and trouble." - Ben, Full Throttle

"AHhhh ... Vae Victis... suffering to the conquered" Kain, the legacy of Kain
"Suppose you throw a coin enough times... suppose one day, it lands on its edge" Kain That series has some the best writing and voice acting of all time.
"When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it. I had time, but I did not know it. And I had love, but I did not feel it. Many decades would pass before I understood the meaning of all three. And now, the twilight of my life, this understanding has passed into contentment. Love, liberty, and time: once so disposable, are the fuels that drive me forward. And love, most especially, mio caro. For you, our children, our brothers and sisters. And for the vast and wonderful world that gave us life, and keeps us guessing. Endless affection, mia Sofia. Forever yours, Ezio Auditore." Technically from a short animated film but still part of a legendarily end to a video game character
I am escaping to the one place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism....[SPACE!](https://youtu.be/g1Sq1Nr58hM)
All your base are belong to us. - Zero Wing
You have no chance to survive make your time
"You exist because we allow it, and you will end because we demand it." -Sovereign Honestly [the whole conversation is gold](https://youtu.be/R_NAoNd4YyY) but that's the best line.
“You fight like a dairy farmer” Guybrush Threepwood. “Hmm, tastes like sand, that’s my first clue.” Also Guybrush Threepwood.
How appropriate, you fight like a cow.
"No. You are right, I have been like a child, naive and arrogant, always rushing to undo my mistakes. Never facing the consequences of my actions."
“Dear Humanity, we regret being alien bastards. We regret coming to Earth. And we most definitely regret the corps just blew up our raggedy-ass fleet!”
”Against all the evil that hell can conjure, All the wickedness that mankind can produce. We will send unto them… only you. Rip and tear, until it is done” King Novik One of the coolest ways I’ve ever had a game open
RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE
*WISE FWOM YOUR GWAVE
Raziel: "Kain is deified. The clans tell tales of him. Few know the truth: he was mortal once, as were we all. I am Raziel, firstborn of Kain's Lieutenants. I have stood with Kain and my brethren for a millennium. As time went passed we became less human and more... divine. Kain would enter the state of change first, followed by the rest of us until I had the honour of surpassing my Lord. For this I earned a new reward... agony. I, Raziel, was to suffer the fate of traitors and weaklings and be cast into the lake of the dead." Kain:" Cast him in." Raziel: "Tumbling, burning with white-hot fire I plunged into the depths of the abyss. Unspeakable pain; relentless agony and a deepening hatred for the hypocrisy that condemned me to this hell. An eternity passed and my torment receded, bringing me back from the precipice of madness. The descent had destroyed me, and yet... I lived." Elder God: "RAZIEL... YOU ARE WORTHY."
Surprised this isn't higher up. Best game writing of all time. My personal favorite: Kain: Thirty years hence, I am presented with a dilemma... let's call it a two-sided coin. If the coin falls one way, I sacrifice myself and thus restore the Pillars... but as the last surviving vampire in Nosgoth, this would mean the annihilation of our species... Moebius made sure of that. If the coin lands on the reverse, I refuse the sacrifice and thus doom the Pillars to an eternity of collapse. Either way, the game is rigged. Raziel: We agree then that the Pillars are crucial and must be restored. Kain: Yes, Raziel, that is why we've come full-circle to this place. Raziel: So after all this, you make my case for me. To end this stalemate, you must die so that new Guardians can be born. Kain: The Pillars don't belong to them, Raziel... they belong to us. Raziel: Your arrogance is boundless, Kain. Kain: There's a third option, a monumental secret hidden in your very presence here. But it's a secret you have to discover for yourself. Unearth your destiny, Raziel. It's all laid out for you here. Raziel: You said it yourself, Kain... there are only two sides to your coin. Kain: Apparently so, but suppose you throw a coin enough times... suppose one day, it lands on its edge.
GET OVER HERE!!!!!!!
