Want some rye?

This is little experiment of my own, inspired by Atomicvegetable's study of cult video gaming.

I say: Want some rye?

You say:
COURSE YA DO!

Here's one.

You know what might look better on your nose?
The bar. *SLAM!!*

Pirates, vampires, zombies, ninjas, ghouls, aliens, goblins, monsters, robots, sorcerers, undead, werewolves, demons, mutated dinosaur-cyborgs and those pesky phone salesmen! The shotgun is a one-size-fits-all solution!
How's about reaply to this one:

What happened to you, that caused you to lose your sense of hope, your love of life?

-Cub. =o)
That's a misquote Cub :D

The actual quote goes like this:

What happened to you, Manny, that caused you to lose your sense of hope, your love of life?

The answer then, is of course Grim Fandango.

This is a cool thread, I like it. Let's see how long we can avoid the Monkey Island insults :p

My turn:

"Explosives armed. Houston gives us the go-ahead. Say when, boss."

I deliberately left out 'Manny' as not to give it away. :wink:


By the way: "Do it!"

...The Dig.

-Cub. =o)
Jcarnby had the correct reply. But it's not over yet....

Jcarnby says: 'COURSE YA DO!

Then I say: HERE'S TO US.

You say:
Who's like us?

Wait, these are quotes from random adventure games?

Well, it looks like we have three posters here (Jcarnby, Fred and me) who know the famous Zork toast.

I don't know if that's good number or not, but I think it's pretty good and I was curious how widespread this little bit of 'secret' knowledge is in today's modern gaming community.
The Zork toast is a small example of game-cult culture. Zork fans around the world are likely to respond to it - at least up to 'Course you do. Die hards can go all the way.

For those of you aren't familiar with the toast, it comes from the first graphic Zork game that was released in 1993. The whole toast is:

Want some rye?
'Course you do.
Here's to us...
Who's like us?
Damn few.
And their all dead. (usually use a drawn-out 'all')

Pouring and drinking is done between the lines.

Let us not forget the potting of the plants. :lol:

Return to Zork is probably in my top five favorite computer games I've ever played. I have real fond memories of that one. The mazes themselves (the Whispering Woods and Forest of the Spirits) were amazing puzzles.
