Not so much a favorite quote, but rather a favorite (and surreal) moment in Far Cry 2:
so I'm playing Far Cry 2, and my rescue buddy, a character named Josip Idromeno, is reading a map inside what was believed to be a secured hut (thank you game...), braced against a wall.
My character--some Algerian dude--walks out to grab the glider right outside, carrying an RPG. As I am about to take it for a glide, I hear mumbling. I turn my character around, and there's this mercenary, half naked with an AK-47--I'd say 10 yards away. He starts shooting, but misses. Not thinking, I pull the trigger on my character's RPG. The merc is vaporized, as the shell blasts through him and into the ground a few yards behind him (so I'm unharmed).
However, there happened to be an ammunition crate there--right against the very wall Idromeno was leaning against inside the hut. This promptly goes up, with rounds going off every which way, and grenades detonating. I hear grumbles and moans, and think he's been wounded--killed even. I wait till the explosions stop, and walk into the door. The room is completely concealed in smoke--like something out of a Napoleonic battlefield; I cannot see even the outline of a body. As I slowly creep forward, the smoke clears slightly, and I see the silhouette of a standing man. As the Smoke clears further, I realize Idromeno is still standing there--totally unharmed--reading his map as if nothing happened.
turned out the groans were from another mercenary nearby who had be struck by the discharged rounds--hadn't even see him: he was found the corner behind the crate.
video games are weird....
