what is your favourite quote from the escapist so far?

[Pyotr Romanov]

I'm not sure what it was, but it went a little something like this:

Someone, sometime, here on The Escapist.
You, sir, are awesome and I have no doubt about your sexuality.

I've used it quite a few times too.

 

[tehweave]

"Bosoms, melons, milk factories, busts, funbags, knockers, ballistics, boobies, jugs, nipples, jubblies, stonking great tits!"

Frankly, I could put a '/thread' here, but that would probably be dumb. I still think this is the best quote ever.

From the forums, probably this:

The Left should stick together, form a coalition, Labour-Democrats, New Liberals, Lib-Lab.

Cameron points out "our parties have a lot in common" as if it was an obscure fact on QI, that you really wonder how true it actually is, and certainly how relevant it actually is. I mean, of course Libs and Cons share policies, I'm quite sure they both think murderers should be sentenced to prison and other popular laws.

It was from a thread about the UK Election results and a brief discussion I was having with [user]Treblaine[/user] about Nick Clegg's (back then) possible coalition with the Tories. I responded by saying that those were the two greatest paragraphs I had read in a long time. His response [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.193320-UK-Elections-The-results-and-musings?page=5#6141186] was also quite good too.

There were also a couple of quotes by [user]Agent Larkin[/user] during some thread derailments back in the days where I did that which I really liked. Sadly, one of those treads was deleted and I doubt the other one's up any more either.

As for videos, probably this one from Unskippable: Eternal Sonata:

Hi, kids. I am the narrator, and I have just taken a fistful of Valium. Awww yeeeeahhh...

It was the first video of Unskippable published (ignoring the Film Festival entry) and I loved that episode.

It was an argument about World Of Warcraft. I can't remember the specifics though, and the thread is locked now.

As far as I can remember, the thread was about a new WoW expansion. The OP said that he hated the game's tendency to not just become unpopular and die, to which Max's response was something along the lines of:

I think that you have terrible grammmar, and that if you think your opinion has any significance over something that millions of people enjoy then you are a moron.

He then got a lot of users disagreeing with him, he got aggressive in some of his rebuttals and it ended up with him being banned for that post.

OK, that's awesome, and I'm stealing it. Shamelessly, and with no intention of ever mentioning you when using it in the future. Sorry!

I like all the messages I get telling me my avatar's awesome; the steady inflation of my ego feels good.

And, much as I hate to quote Yahtzee (mostly because everyone else is doing it)
"Trying to impose your feelings on someone else is as pointless and time-consuming as trying to impregnate a dishwasher"
It was in an Extra Punctuation article a while back.

Quick question - how many people are going to hang around this thread to see if they get mentioned by someone else?

 

[HellbirdIV]

I think my favourite is from the first Unskippable. "How's poor Bernie supposed to do that
[surround monster] by himself? Is he like, really fat or something?"

 

[Jroo wuz heer]

"...and whistled for a baboon!"
that's the funniest one, but my favorite non-funny one is "a society where anyone can make jokes about anyone else, and everyone laughs, including the person being joked about, is a truly tolerant society"
-both from yahtzee

 

[black orchid1]

"aparantly rolling is very dangerous but then the armadilo?" laughed till i was dying

 

[Catchy Slogan]

There are a few that I have liked, but most of them are by Hubilub, Max, root_of_all_evil, Neonbob, Captain Oblivious, Furburt and Onyx Oblivion.

 

[VanityGirl]

After page 5-6 of this thread.

It got locked. Shameful.

"...So he did. And then he ate his own shoes."

From Yahtzee's video on Mirror's Edge.

If another one of these threads ever comes around, be sure to remember you got it from me!

And I don't think quoting Yahtzee from Extra Punctiation is as bad as quoting him from his videos, which is what everybody is doing. Don't feel bad about that.

Pants on head retarted is pretty close. And "Not content with merely making a shitty rip-off of oblivion, They set thier sights on making a shitty rip-off of God of War, and they succeeded" from the halo wars game review of xblades. thats my favorite.

 

[El Poncho]
