Pretentious Video Game Quotes

[RPGD]

In an act of inspiration/blatant plagarism from reading the book "100 Pretentious Nursery Rhymes", in which the classic rhymes are modified with an amusingly absurb amount of scintillation, I've decided to take it upon myself to start a topic with the purpose of taking popular/obscure game quotes and applying the aforementioned redundant linguistic upgrade schema.

Here is the book's variation of "I'm a Little Tea Pot":

I am a vessel specifically designed
For the calefaction of tea leaves and water combined.
I am of diminutive dimension:
A corpulent invention.
Observe the place where your hand is supposed to go.
Observe the outlet where the drink is supposed to flow.
When my temperature is high,
Ebullition will make me cry.
You must use leverage
To release the beverage.

Let's start things off with the familiar "Thank you Mario! But our princess is in another castle":


I cannot begin to express my gratitude for your coming to my rescue, dear plumber. I am forever in your debt! However, I loathe to inform you that our beloved monarch is currently being held captive in another fortified stronghold not unlike this one.


General participation is highly encouraged!

Ready? GO!

Ninjawarriors Arcade Ending quote.

Arcade version (the exact text--spelling errors included)

"A revorution broke out. And everything became to an end. The troubled country seemed to be finished by the death of the wicked machines. But the peace did not came. Because ninja warriors...they are the immortal murder machines."

What it should have said.

"Truly the revolution had indeed blossomed from the indignant shadows, and all that had been wrought came to a frightfully bitter conclusion. Alas....the country that had been woefully troubled was thought to have been rightfully finished of its dire state of affairs by the cruel and unflinching demise of the wicked machina. Sadly, despite the hopes of the hopeful civilian populace, peace was far from their ever-reaching grasp and had thus eluded them. For the bold and stout Ninja Warriors of the 28th century brought a horrible revelation to light......they were the immortal murderers."

Regal Bryant: "What is this ominous light that threatens to engulf us?"

Changed into a horribly pretentious quote...

Regal Brayant: "What is this ominous light that threatens to engulf us?"

At this juncture it would be most opportune to employ evasive tactics as with executing a maneuver by which your craft completes a full rotation on its longitudinal axis while continuing on its current path and bearing.

I heartily disagree. In my opinion maximum enjoyment would be better acheived by trying to guess the origial version of the pretentious quote.

Hmm... you know something? You're right.

Scratch that guideline, then!

Street Fighter quotes.

"My dear boy, to even hope to stand on two legs with your appendages still intact, you will have to soundly defeat the one they call Sheng Long in a grand and fair fight."

"I suppose you could perform a little more.....appropriately better than your previous lackluster attempt?"

"I proclaim to myself the grand and illustrious title of being the strongest woman in the unsuspecting world."

"Compared to your otherwise disappointing strength, mine soundly surpasses and is therefore much greater."

"Not to sound inherently rude to the likes of you, but viewing you in the moment of what you call 'action' is surely a pathetic display of inutterable jest."

"I will do these things to the likes of you, my friend--first I will indulge in a state of meditation, and then I will rip you asunder and utterly ... dispose of you."

"My dear boy, I would bear the thought of consideration in attacking me upon a reckless dare, for if you choose to do so, I will be left no choice but to crush you like an insect."

"Good sir, I will leave you with this most intolerable question. Are you to be considered a gentleman to enter a rightful duel against an opponent such as I?"

"Oh, dear God.....my hands. Rather, my fists. They are insipidly stained with your blood."

"Do bear in mind the following fact of a handsome vagabond such as myself......we do not know the meaning of losing a good duel."

"My dear boy, I cannot consider you to be a true warrior in a sense of the word. Rather, I am forced to admit to the sad and depressing fact that you are, in essence, a beginning youngblood."

"Sir, I would advise you, in your best interests, to turn around and leave my presence, for you cannot possibly hope to compare with my powers."
