Title: Pickup quotes for uniques
Post by: Captain Trek on January 30, 2009, 09:16
I've always assumed that most of the uniques didn't have pickup quotes (in fact, discounting the angelic armour and the longinus spear, only one, the Butcher's Cleaver with it's, "Aah, fresh meat!" has a pickup quote) because no one could ever think up any good ones... For that, reason I decided to make this thread... Perhaps with enough people making suggestions we'll get a few decent ones...

Here area few of my ideas:

BFG10K: I was thinking we could use another quote from the Doom comic for this one... "Hail to the chief!" is my preferred candidate...

Anti-Freak Jackal: I think something short, simple and God related like, "Hallelujah!' or, "Praise the lord!" would be best here...

Nuclear BFG/plasma rifle: I was trying to think of a clever pun on the Doomguy's, "Now I'm radioactive!" quote, but all I could come up with was, "There's a "now I'm radioactive" pun in here somewhere, but I'd rather not..."

What do you think? Got any ideas?

Good idea, here are some of mine:

Anti-Freak Jackal: "Freakin'!"
Baron Armor: "Oh, so THIS is why those f***ers are so hard to kill..."
BFG 10K: "Ooh, the newest BFG version seems to be out!"
Dragonslayer: "Nice... Too bad there aren't very much dragons around..."
Gothic Armor: "Oof... This is heavy!"
Gothic Boots: "How you like my new shoes?"
Malek's Armor: "Oh my God! It's the armor of the legendary Malek!"
Minigun: "Yeah! Who wants some spray paint!"
Nuclear BFG 9000: "Nice, let's nuke 'em!"
Phaseshift Armor: "Come fly with me, let's fly let's fly away..."
Phaseshift Boots: *Same as above*
Revenant's Launcher: "Lock on! Uhh, I mean ROCK on!"
Trigun: "Carnage on handheld format!"

Minigun: "Yeah! Who wants some spray paint!"

For Minigun:
I like Jesse Ventura's one-liner from the Arnold movie 'Predator'. When he pulls out the Minigun, he chambers it and says "Payback time!"

Anti-Freak Jackal:
"Releasing Control Art Restriction to level three... level two... level one. Situation A. The Cromwell approval is now in effect. Hold release until target is silenced."
OR
"Jesus Christ is in Heaven now", as engraved on the gun.

Trigun:
"This world is made of love and peace... Tee-hee-hee..."

This first one is perhaps a bit too long... Don't forget it's still a pickup quote ;D

How about Alucards favourite quote then: "The bird of Hermes is my name eating my wings to make me tame."? (Still a bit long, but not as much)

I like this one... It's short and sweet like "let's turn the tables!" for the plasma rifle...

Not bad... But where did you get it from?

He got it from Trigun. Kinda.
I'm sorta really for the source of any pickup quote being the source of the item.

GCB: "Time to bring my own brand of justice to this hellhole..."

Hm. It's been too long since I've seen Equilibrium to quote anything from it. A quick trip to imdb gives this, which I think is nice:
"Cleric, I can only hope one day to be as uncompromising as you. "

OH come on people... theres only one quote for GCB - "Not without incident..." ;P

" I pay it gladly ". ;-)

Those are good, but sorta require having seen the movie.
I'll agree that  the movie should be required watching, but...
Title: Re: Pickup quotes for uniques
Post by: Malek Deneith on February 03, 2009, 16:37
I don't see a problem there - if someone haven't seen the movie, he won't get what GCB is anyway.
Title: Re: Pickup quotes for uniques
Post by: rekenne on February 03, 2009, 17:15
Yeah, but I picked my quote for reference and that it works even if you haven't seen the movie.

Dragonslayer: "Here, kitty, kitty, kitty,... uh i mean dragon"
Necroarmour: "As if I wasn't dead enough already"
Malek's Armour: "Hell I wish I knew the previous owner"
Gothic Armour: "Yea and I'm supposed to run in this beast"
