Its simple. Post a random quote you've encountered (IRL, on the net somewhere, doesn't matter) in your post. It can be any length, though try to not to get to crazy with it. The person after you has to quess where its from. If they guess correctly they can post the next quote (after you've confirmed it to be correct). Only 1 quote at a time please. If you wish to make it more challenging, you can blur/crossout/whatever names of places in the quote. (ie: It's a me, ____!) You are free to offer hints at any point from the first post of your quote to when its correctly guessed.
[edit]: New Rule. If at least a week goes without any correct guesses for your quote, you may reveal the answer and pick a new one until somebody guesses it correctly.
[edit2]: Another New Rule. If your quote is correctly guessed and the person who guessed it fails to post a quote of their own within at least 2 weeks time, you may either post a new quote or opt not to (in which case I will provide a new quote)
I'll start.
"If _____ threatens you with nukes, listen to what he has to say."

No. It is from a video game though, or at least one player's view on a certain NPC controlled character in this popular, long running series of games.

That is correct! You get to post the next quote for people to guess. Do so at your leisure and provide hints as you see fit.

I would, but I want other people to try really. Its no fun if only a few people get to pick the quotes.
Also, added a new rule to the first post for situations like this.
"no one is here but a church bell will ring."
Had absolutely no idea, so I cheated and used mighty Google!
It's from Zelda II, the Adventure of Link. Actually, it's a hint in the town of Mido that tells the player how to gain access to a locked building, wherein they can learn the down-strike.
I don't think I found that secret, but then again I did really poorly in Zelda II, so such is to be expected.
EDIT: I won't post one until it's been verified that I am correct.
Chris Miller
07-25-2013, 09:34 PM
Google is quite correct. :p
Okay... let's see how this quote does:
"But I didn't hate my mother, it was an accident!"
If you are stuck, Google WILL give you the answer. That's the only hint you'll get!

I think that quote was probably said by more than one person.
But I identify the quote from the movie Uncle Buck, Miles said it as a euphemism(that language arts class has really jammed lots of vocabulary into my head).

FINALLY somebody got that one.
I'm adding a new rule (which I will also add to the inital post) - If nobody has correctly guessed your quote after 1 week's time, the current winner picks a new one. [EDIT] - nevermind, I forgot I added that rule months ago... :sweat:
TheDarkOne
10-07-2014, 02:10 PM
So...does the mean the quote I posted does not count?
mrz84
10-07-2014, 03:05 PM
No. I forgot I made the rule entirely, so I'll allow it. And because I don't wanna hog all the fun.

Okay, then, I will reiterate.

I guess nobody is going to get this one. It was Viconia DeVir from Baldur's Gate II (she also appears in the first one, but only says this line in the second).
So let's try a less obscure one:
"I like this kinda stuff. Bombs and monitors...you know, flashy stuff."
TheDarkOne
11-09-2014, 01:06 PM
Is nobody playing this game anymore? I won't post here again until I know if anyone is still interested. And that quote is still open if anyone wants to try to guess it.

Finally! By the rules, your turn to post a video game quote, harryrappe

Looks like this game has been forgotten...a shame, really, it seemed interesting.

I added another new rule to the first post. Hopefully it will encourage more people to play (or not, we'll just have to see won't we?)
TheDarkOne

Well, going by that new rule....

This is from a movie, by the way, not a game.

Over two months without a reply. This game is dead.
mrz84
04-17-2015, 07:34 PM
I've known the answer, but have held back and wanting to let others try (because like I've said before, its more fun if others than myself get all the answers).
However, as I like this game (and to maybe bring more activity to this part of the forum) I'll answer it. The quote is from Lilo and Stitch, from Mr. Cobra Bubbles to be exact (I haven't watched this movie in years but still remember that line as its one of my favs, but now I'm getting off track)

04-18-2015, 01:27 PM
By the game rules, it is now your turn to post a quote.

Your answer is correct. However, I rewatched that movie after posting that quote and I realize I kid of shortened it. I guees that happens posting from memory. Oh, well, after further review the play stands as called.

I know that's Godot from one if the Phoenix Wright games, but I don't know which one. I only know it because my friend says this about coffee all the time so I asked him where it came from.
This is also from a game: "I will not rest until I wreak vengeance for my father!"

It is indeed Lucius Annaeus Seneca, but its not used in any movie to my knowledge (which in Random Quote Guessing Game, the quote can come from any source, not just movies. I put that in the first post all the way back when it was started) Anyway, since you guessed it you get the next quote.

Jumanji. The Robin Williams original.
I've not touched this thread primarily to encourage others to guess the quotes, because it would be boring if I was the one who got it every time. That and being sucked into Stardew Valley and Subnautica.
Anyway, for the quote I got this one I've been saving for a while.

I've read The Great Gatsby I don't know how many times. You'll have to do better than that.
"To kill me, you would have to become solid. And when you become solid, you can be broken."
This is going to be a tough one unless you're familiar with the source.
EDIT: I didn't have that exactly right. The lines reads: "To kill me, you would first have to become solid. And when you become solid, then you can be broken." Still, close enough IMO.
