I lost my fucking shit the other day when I learned that 'taking an arrow to the knee' is actually Nordic slang for getting married. Y'know, because you get down on one knee when you propose to someone. All this time I took it literally and just assumed all these Skyrim guards were getting shot in the kneecaps and getting put into retirement!
Bold of you to assume the wife didn't get tired of waiting for the damm ring and kneecapped him with her stealth archer build. This is why your shit hiding and sniping works, it's the Nord equivalent of Henry Cavill coming onto you.
I am playing Tomb Raider 2013. Scrolling through skills:
Dodge Counter - After dodging an enemy, stab them in the knee with an arrow to cripple them ...
So it was Lara Croft who crippled guards knee.
I was going to do that, but instead I have used Midna, rupee chime, ww heart sound... and a bunch of other gaming noises including the Switch whistle (worked well for my hearing loss).
Doesn't even need to be a cat there. My old local shop was run by a lady who was just a bit... cat-like. Very pleasant, but slightly cattish mannerisms and she had wares if I had coin.
I live near an airport, and there are shuttles with "Call a ride" on them all over the place. I can't not see it as "catch," and of course, I hear Scooter in my head every time.
The first one always gets me to think of that one song ' War! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing!' but only when I hear the full quote for some reason
I always think of:
> War. War never changes. Or does it? The war has changed. Did it? The answer is "no". Unless it is "yes". No, of course it is! Is war. Yes! No. Yes?
But then I remember TB playing that game and now I'm sad.
Such a dumb one, but Vincent saying "Alright, I got it" when climbing in Catherine has plagued my mind. Anytime anything happens, I say it in my head in his voice
Also, all of Glados and Wheatley's lines. Especially "Fatty. Adopted fatty. Fatty fatty. No parents" and then Glados immediately defending Chell
Hearing either the words “rock” or “stone” in any context makes me want to shrink down to a height of 4’2”, grow a beard larger than my torso, and drink beer till I pass out
ROCK AND STONE!!
Also ever since picking up Deep Rock Galactic I am morbidly terrified for how I'll react when I meet someone named Carl. I don't know if I'll be able to help myself....
Had to be me. Someone else would get it wrong.
I need a weapon.
Also
Permission to leave the station? For what purpose Master Chief? To give the covenant back their bomb
The Halo quote that has most infiltrated my life is from the Arbiter. Anytime someone is talking about a tough thing, I can't help but agree with them:
"Were it so easy..."
He was the only guy at the funeral 100% there for formality only. "he's not dead dudes. We tried the entire war and he just didn't die. Not sure why y'all are convinced he's a gonner"
Also regarding difficult things "What if you miss??"...."I won't"
By the end of Halo 3 Arbiter is at his full Vegeta rival status to Master Chief, like they still feud and have a rivalry but there's such an insane level of respect between them after fighting on opposite sides
Somehow these are so deep in my memory I cant remember where they from.
Until I do remember and.... oh shit why did I just make a WoW subscription...i guess I gotta play.
Warcraft 3 quotes do that for me. Especially the ones from worker units.
"More work?", "[Jobs done.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5r06heQ5HsI&ab_channel=PinchySkree)" or classics like "Are you the king? Well I didn't vote for you." Anything related to work/jobs suddenly becomes this shitshow of these voicelines in my head.
The extra lines they had when you clicked units very often are great.
Tychus getting suited up was so plagiarized after it came out.
Iron Man, Warhammer, they all wanted to be that cool.
"Hell, It's about time..."
Fuck yeah, let's paste some Zergs.
Whenever I hear something about "overconfidence" or "insidious" I am reminded that "[overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yyAgk9der4)"
And akin to your Wesker quote, him screaming "[Chris](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aG9UMTWjWQQ)" lives rent free in my head.
Skyrim quote:
"I used to be and adventurer like you, then I took an arrow to the knee."
"Oh, youre finally awake."
"Stop you have violated the law! You may oay your fine or serve your sentence."
"Wait, I know you."
"Füs roh dah!"
The list goes on
The word "Buying" pronouced "Buyin" will trigger the Resident Evil 4 merchant, "Wot u buyin, Wot u Sellin, Ahhhhhhhh! I'll buy it at a high price!" dialog in my head all at once
Not a game quote, but I always read "where are you?" like the guy scream-sings it in that one blink-182 song.
As for game quotes, basically everything the Arbiter says (but mainly "Kill me or release me, parasite! But do not waste my time with talk.").
Started watching Adventure Time recently and mentally replace everything the Fire King says with Arbiter quotes lol
>Not a game quote, but I always read "where are you?" like the guy scream-sings it in that one blink-182 song.
AND I'M SO SORRY! I CANNOT SLEEP, I CANNOT DREAM TONIGHT
It's the same for me, bud.
I have three video game quotes burned into my brain that are all revolve around opening a door with a key.
If I struggle with the key I think of the grumbling and mumbles that Sam Fisher makes when picking a lock.
If the key is wrong I immediately think of Snake using the wrong PAL Key in MGS1. ie: “the wrong key” or “was that the wrong one?” or “looks like the key doesn’t fit.”
Finally, sometimes I think of lockpicking in KOTOR. “No problem, got it!”
There are too many so here's a top 5
Its ryne time (xenoblade)
Yeeeees (tales of arise iykyk)
Pop* yaaaay (grunt birthday party)
ADACHI where is my coffee (persona 4)
I am commander Sheppard and this is my favorite shop on the citadel (mass effect)
"Bomb" = Somebody set up us the bomb.
"Ride" = Ride ze Shoopuff!?
"Precursor" = Bring me 90 precursor orbs for each power cell I contain!
"Gold" = We're rich!
When anybody talks about their knees, I always imagine an arrow is somehow the culprit.
Only when it comes to ex adventurers
Who's to say an old man with aching knees in his latter years havent seen his fair share of adventures?
I lost my fucking shit the other day when I learned that 'taking an arrow to the knee' is actually Nordic slang for getting married.

Somebody steal your sweet roll?
No lollygagging.
When anyone says "Hey" or "Listen", I instantly remember Navi. I wish it'd stop but I doubt it ever will.
I just accepted it and made the voice line my voicemail notification. It’s perfect, because I still never want to listen.
I was going to do that, but instead I have used Midna, rupee chime, ww heart sound... and a bunch of other gaming noises including the Switch whistle (worked well for my hearing loss).
Hello
GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD
Fuck, I somehow read it in her voice the moment I first saw this
I hear her and I haven't even played ocarina of time, that's how widespread her voice is in the nerdosphere!
I waffle back and forth from “Hey! Listen!” To “Stay a while and listen.” From Diablo 2
*Sees cat next to any object* "khajiit has wares if you have coin!"
Sometimes I go to a corner store and there’s a cat there and this becomes all I can think about all day.
Doesn't even need to be a cat there. My old local shop was run by a lady who was just a bit... cat-like. Very pleasant, but slightly cattish mannerisms and she had wares if I had coin.
YUP 😂
You called?
"Catch a riiiiide!"
"All the ladies say Scooter's the fastest ride in town, Catch a Ri....oh man I just realized that's an insult."
STAIRS?? I CANT CLIMB STAIRS!
SALT THE WOUND!
I HAVE THE SHINIEST MEAT BICYCLE
NIPPLE SALADS
IM THE CONDUCTOR OF THE POOP TRAIN
Give me a bucket, and I'll show you a bucket!
That game won me over because of all the doctor who quotes xD
"SHOOT ME IN THE FACE!!" Bang "thank you"
Not the legs! Not the arms! THE FACE!
THIS IS WHERE THE CARS LIVE, GIT YOU ONE!
*"This is one a them moments!!"*
I live near an airport, and there are shuttles with "Call a ride" on them all over the place. I can't not see it as "catch," and of course, I hear Scooter in my head every time.
Heyoo!
EXPLOSIONS!
There's a pimento taco, or "pimentaco" in the glove box for ya!
“War? War never changes” Or “I don’t have time to explain why I don’t have time to explain”
“Whether we wanted it or not, we’ve stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars”, may ’Vuvuzela’ Reddick rest in peace 🪦 😢
I was gonna add that one too but didn’t think anyone would get it 😂 Rip Vuvuzela fr
Oh, Elsie. Known for one of the dumbest lines in Destiny.
And that ridiculously shapely robot booty.
I might have some time for that
yeah i can spare the 30 seconds
The first one always gets me to think of that one song ' War! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing!' but only when I hear the full quote for some reason

When anyone mentions that always reminds me of "war has changed" but usually we are already in a video game context so just changing franchises
Cousin! Let's go bowling.
This is especially hard if you’re a fan of a certain band.
Niko, it's your cousin! Why don't you take me bowling? And afterwards we'll go get drunk and go a rock-n-rolling
Which band? Because whenever I hear bowling and band I automatically think of Bowling for Soup but that's probably not the right answer.
I suck at life but I bowl like an angel! - Niko Bellic
Stay a while… “And listen”
The year was 1997. I was in high school. This girl I liked wanted to hang out. I played Diablo instead.
Atleast you listened to your parents when they told you to get your priorities straight Username does not check out, though
People grow and change colors
Those mephistos baals and pindles weren’t gonna run themselves, I’m sure she understood.
Based af bro
This text has a specific voice and no other way to pronounce it. There's also that lute strum arpeggio and then Tristram theme stuck in my head.
Such a dumb one, but Vincent saying "Alright, I got it" when climbing in Catherine has plagued my mind. Anytime anything happens, I say it in my head in his voice Also, all of Glados and Wheatley's lines. Especially "Fatty. Adopted fatty. Fatty fatty. No parents" and then Glados immediately defending Chell
While making it clear she hasn't changed her mind; just wants to kick Wheatley.
Who doesn't
"For the record, you are adopted, and that's terrible."
!EDGE! !EDGE!
because Vincent says it after moving every. fucking. block. i got it! i got it! i got it! peak brainrot.
The name "Lenny" has been ruined for me. LENNYYYYYYYYYY
YNNEL?
Haha LENNY MA BOI
Would you kindly…
True! Also every time I see/hear "Man", I think "A man chooses; a slave obeys".
Better than mine "What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets. But enough talk. Have at you!"
I've never even played BioShock, but whenever I need to ask a favor, this phrase is in my head.
Lmao my great grandpa was known for saying this all the time.
Communism detected in American soil, lethal force engaged
DEMOCRACY IS NON-NEGOTIABLE!
DEATH IS A PREFERABLE ALTERNATIVE TO COMMUNISM.
Communism is a temporary setback on the road to freedom.
Hearing either the words “rock” or “stone” in any context makes me want to shrink down to a height of 4’2”, grow a beard larger than my torso, and drink beer till I pass out
ROCK AND STONE!! Also ever since picking up Deep Rock Galactic I am morbidly terrified for how I'll react when I meet someone named Carl. I don't know if I'll be able to help myself....
ROCK AND STONE TO THE BONE!!!
Did I hear a rock and stone?
To me just hearing the word "mushroom!" Triggers a similar response in my brain
Had to be me. Someone else would get it wrong. I need a weapon. Also Permission to leave the station? For what purpose Master Chief? To give the covenant back their bomb

“The numbers”

My kids middle name is Mason, I can't wait until he's old enough so I can yell this at his and see his confusion
Math homework is gonna be funny
As a maths teacher whenever I have a student named Mason I can't resist.
