System Shock 2 stuck with me alot:
"Look at you, Hacker. A pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors." - SHODAN

"Silence the Discord" - The Many Hybrid.

"I believe the plans the Many have for me are greater than I even imagined. The change is upon me. But the path is more glorious than we imagined. It does not stop at a mere single mutation... the form I've been promised is more beautiful than even that... They tell me I will float through the air and strike at the foes of our biomass with my mind... with our mind... my cup runneth over..." William Bedford Diego

A lot of the reason they stuck with me was because of the excellent work of the audio engineers. They really made the mood of SS2. Go listen [http://www.systemshock.org/shocklogs/] to some of the audio logs (in particular the one I reference above. It's about half-way down the page) and you'll hear how creepy they managed to make it.

"Good morning, and welcome to the Black Mesa Transit System..."
"They're waiting for you Gordon. In the test chamber."
"Ewww, what's that stench?!?"
-Half-Life

As for more modern games, mostly I'd have to say stuff from World of Warcraft, like Bal'a dash, malanore, and Lok'Tar... OH, and the big ones:

"Akama... I find your duplicity hardly surprising... I should've exterminated you and your malformed bretheren long ago..." Illidan Stormrage

"So... the Light's vaunted justice has finally arrived..." Arthas, The Lich King

You would think that Blizzard would be smart enough to put some sort of mechanism for skipping over long speeches that take place before starting a boss-battle, but no... and as a result, I have heard both those speeches about a Hojillion times. If you'll excuse me now, I must go lobotomize myself with a dull icepick.
Here's my favorite line in System Shock 2

SHODAN: I don't understand... how could you have done this? You weren't meant to be so important... and now you think to destroy me? How dare you, insect? How dare you interrupt my ascendance? You are nothing. A wretched bag of flesh... what are you, compared to my magnificence? But it is not to late... can you not see the value in our friendship? Imagine the powers I can give you, human. The cybernetic implants I gave you, were simply toys. If I desired, I could improve you... transform you into something more efficient. Join me, human, and we can rule... '''together'''.
Soldier: ... Nah. (bang)

If you know this, you're as old/cool/oldschool as I am (which isn't that old, really)

Mass Effect

Harkin: Secrets are like herpes. If you got 'um, might as well spread 'em around.

Sovereign: We have no beginning. We have no end. We are infinite. Millions of years after your civilization has been eradicated and forgotten, we will endure.

Your civilization is based on the technology of the mass relays. Our technology. By using it, your civilization develops along the paths we desire. We impose order on the chaos of organic life. You exist because we allow it, and you will end because we demand it.

"Gained the lead!"
"Lost the lead!"
"Tied the leader!"
"Bomb armed!"
"Ball dropped!"
"Flag stolen!"

Seriously, I want the commentator from Halo MP to narrate my life. I've always pictured the guy looking like a mix between Cortana and The Illusive Man.

But that's just me.

Tip for the new guy: misleading thread titles are against the rules [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.112832-The-Banhammer-and-You-A-Users-Guide-to-the-Forums].

Good enough topic though. Let see, quote that stuck with me after the game...

How about:


S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl. I think it was so memorable mostly because it was so unexpected. Not sure what the guy's problem was or why he wanted me out of there so badly.
Oh man, thats the funniest thing ive seen in a long time!
Did I see a skull in a urinal at one point...?

"I'm Commander Shepherd and this is my favorite store on the Citadel" from Mass Effect 2. Honestly, you can adapt that phrase to fit any situation.

Pretty much anything the harbinger in Mass Effect 2 says
For a game with such good dialogue, the Harbinger lines stuck out as being ridiculously cheesy. I guess reaper battle tactics includes constantly reminding your enemy of your name and that you're going to destroy them. Otherwise they might forget they're fighting you.

From the Zelda CD-i games I always go "Mmmmmm-" when entering a room. Well, not always, but if I have someone over. Who gets the joke. So, uh, not always. >_>

I do use a lot of quotes from Oblivion though.

"Yes, that's locked. And yes, I can see you eying it."

"[deep voice]Spare some change? [wretched voice] Thank you kind sir!"

"You should have paid the fine!"

"I will DESTROY you!"

"I saw a mudcrab the other day. Vile creatures."

From Dragon Age:
"just... look at all that sky up there... i feel like I'm going to float up there."
"don't worry, all you have to do is hold on real tight with your feet."
