"It's easy to forget what a sin is in the middle of a battlefield." - Solid Snake

"Fighting was the only thing I was ever good at, but at least I always fought for what I believed in." - Gray Fox

"Death is inevitable. Our fear of it makes us play safe, blocks out emotion. It's a losing game. Without passion, you are already dead." - Max Payne

Oh, and one from DoTT -

Bernard: "Sometimes I do stupid stuff, and I don't even know why. As if my body were being controlled by some demented, sadistic puppet master"

Winner ^

Although Monkey island for me had loads, personally liked the little jibes though

"Never pay more than 20 bucks for a computer game. I've no idea why I just said that."
 
The quips in Rockstar games are among the best IMO. Metal gear solid games up to Sons of Liberty. Voice acting and writing went drastically downhill after that.
 
Claptrap:

Hyperion Door Voice: Reinforcements... depleted.
Claptrap: Don't worry, baby! It happens to a lot of girls!

Well done, minion! Your ability to walk short distances without dying will be Handsome Jack's downfall!

Dammit, Jack -- how did you know stairs were my ONLY weakness?! Next to electrocution, and explosions, and gunfire, rust, corrosion, being kicked a lot, viruses, being called bad names, falling from great heights, drowning, adult onset diabetes, being looked at funny, heart attacks, exposure to oxygen, being turned down by women, and pet dander! Your brilliance is matched only by your malevolence!
 
From Portal:
"Well done. Here come 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. It's just a data point. If it makes you feel any better, science has now validated your birth mother's decision to abandon you on a doorstep."
 
Portal has some of the best quotes.. funny AND thoughtful.
The lucasarts adventures of the 90s are also fantastic, both in terms of quotes and visual gags.

But! The ones that stick in my head are:
"I spill my drink!" - Deus Ex
"War, War never changes" - Fallout
 
Borderlands 2 – Early on after you have killed out one of the first mobs of enemies, Claptrap says:

‘Minion, what have you DONE?! These were human beings with lives and families and . . .
I’m just kidding, screw those guys'
 
Borderlands 2 – there were a LOT of funny lines in BL2:

Incinerator Clayton:

‘One of our scouts came back from his morning patrol, exactly as he usually did, except this time he was on fire’.

I still remember the first time I heard that one, cracked me up.

Loved that and pretty much all of them but the one that sticks out and proper made me chuckle from portal 2 was:

That jumpsuit you're wearing looks stupid. That's not me talking, it's right here in your file. On other people it looks fine, but right here a scientist has noted that on you it looks "stupid". Well, what does a neck-bearded old engineer know about fashion? He probably – Oh, wait. It's a she. Still, what does she know? Oh wait, it says she has a medical degree. In fashion! From France!

:D :D
 
This line always tickled me:



Guybrush Threepwood: I'm on a whole new adventure.

Bart: Growing a mustache?

Guybrush Threepwood: No. Bigger than that.

Bart: A beard?
 
"Your mother sucks dwarf ****"

Random peasant background chatter when you go into a Tavern in The Witcher. Usually closely followed by a casual comment by another peasant regarding a one night stand with a she-elf. I did actually laugh out loud the first time I heard this, it was said in such a matter of fact way with a comedy British medieval accent.
 
It's gotta be The Duke...

Hmmm, don't have time to play with myself.
That's one doomed space marine.
Power armour is for *errr.. feline lady gardens*!
 
They push, we push. Every once in a while, we push hard enough that the light break through the clouds and the world beyond the war...glimmers. Just out of reach...
The war is the world and the world is the war.
Behind every gunsight is a human being. WE are those people. We are the jaded and we are the naive. We are the honorable and the criminal. We are the bound for legend and we are the lost to history. We are the knights of the sky, the ghosts in the desert and the rats in the mud. These are our stories
Click to expand...

If history only remember one in a thousand of us,then the future will be filled with stories of who we were and what we did.
When this is all over and the war is won, They will remember us
But until that day comes, we will stand, we will look death in the eye and we will fight!

"Rise and shine, Mr. Freeman... rise and shine. Not that I wish to imply that you have been sleeping on the job. No-one is more deserving of a rest, and all the effort in the world would have gone to waste until... well... let's just say your hour has come again.

The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.

So wake up, Mr. Freeman. Wake up and... smell the ashes."
