brian in runaway, telling sushi that he felt like "ever since he left new york" he felt like a puppet and someone else was pulling the strings, like someone in those adventure games.
well, somerthing like that anyway.

Gabriel Knight in GK3, also had the ability to stuff huge items in his pants pocket, like Mosely's entire sports jacket.

Also, in GK2, when he's starting to go through the physical pangs of turning into a werewolf, and Gracie is trying to comfort him, by wiping his fevered brow, he says, "Mind the hair, Gracie, mind the hair."

Yes, GF! The part where he makes wise cracks at the Living in the restaurant. And Oh! Pressing "P" for pickup when he stands above the kitty litter. He breaks into roaring laughter for a full 10secs!

Hey wysewoman- what happens if you can string a couple of "correct" lines together? More fingersnapping instead of hissing? I can never muster beyond 3 lines correctly...

Its nice when games don't take themselves too seriously.

Ok, Curse of Monkey Island still has the all time favorite line for me.

Guybrush is walking along the beach and stops to talk to a gentleman tanning himself (my memory is bad, so forgive the inaccuracies). Says "what do you do for a living?". The gentleman says "I live off the blood and sweat of other people". Guybrush says "oh, you're a talent agent?". The gentleman says "no, I'm a production manager for a large game development company".

I laughed so hard at that; just imagining the people making this game and getting a dig in at their boss. What a hoot!

Hey Burpee..I seem to remember that same guy got "burned" to a crisp! LOL "I am the boss of you" has got to be the funniest yet! Loved that ZI! Glynn

Wow this thread brought back some memories.


Thanks

Senor calavera--

I didn't know there was a correct or incorrect way to do it! It's been a year or so, but it seems that most of my recitals went on for 4 or 5 lines and got fingersnapping, and Manny just said "thank you" and did another...guess I'm just intuitive about lame poetry or something

The Monkey Island series,Grim Fandango,Simon the Sorcerer 1&2,Discworld 1&2,Fable,Tony Tough,Runaway,and all the old Accolde games all contained great humor. I must say that may all time favorite was in Kings Quest 2 on top of the mountain. You look into the hole in the rock and they had a preview of their Space Quest game that played. That cracked me up.

In the last Kings Quest, Connor could get a drink from the fountain in the village. Its really nice in an adventure game not to have to feed/water/rest your charactor but I certainly didn't mind letting him have a drink. So, while I was thinking and thinking what to do next, I was clicking and letting Connor drink and drink and drink. And then he BURPED.

The Journeyman series had some good humour as well. The only one I can think of at the moment is "I believe the room behind this door was neither modelled or rendered. Whatever that means" which was a classic way of explaining why this door will *never* open.

Yep Aggie you were right!!!!I'm rubber, you are glue...exactly that!!! Thanks!!

Glad I could help. I used to have all the insults for Monkey Island memorized! Hehe...

Speaking of burping, there was that mushroom-shaped fruit tree in the Neverhood. The third time you ate off it, Klaymen would burp the LONGEST, most hilarious burp I've ever heard. It must be something like TWO minutes long. I laughed till I cried!

In the movie Groundhog Day, when the Bill Murray character steps in an icy puddle, someone tells him "Watch out for that last step, it's a doozie!" Definitely a tip of the hat to KQ5, since the whole movie is about doing something over and over and over again till you get it right, just like in an adventure game!!

The second time I played JP3: Legacy of Time, I was in Tibet in the greenhouse and knew exactly what to do with the apple. After getting my reward, Arthur quipped, "You've been reading the solutions guide again, haven't you Gage?"
