About Me

edit

Hey. Name's Zayne. 20, Drama student, England. Alcoholic.

Favourite games? Action RPGS, specifically Zelda, but also platformers, both two and three dimensional. Anything with a good plot and at least average gameplay will also draw me in. Also not adverse to the odd FPS/Quick puzzle game, but I wouldn't rate them as something I play often. I'll play anything, to be honest. I almost always try out the games with all the hype, just to see if it's something I'd be into.

Uhh, what else..?

Oh yeah. Nintendo fanboy, if your definition of fanboy is someone who buys games predominantly by one developer. I just happen to like Nintendo games more. I don't vehemently defend Nintendo/attack everyone else. I'm not thirteen.

Currently possess a 360, Wii, PS2, relatively competent PC (No, I can't run Crysis), DS, PSP. No PS3 yet, or for the forseeable future, because there's nothing I want to play on it that I can't get on my 360. It's that simple.

Also trying not to suck.

Failing.

That is all.

Your complete guide to Destructoid

I need your help.
ToxicPrince \| 9:37 AM on 11.29.2007	25 comments

So, as I might've mentioned, I'm a Drama student. Tomorrow, I need to perform a contemporary monologue. Aside from a would-be star of stage and screen, I'm also obviously a gamer, which means procrastination has set in for a week and I've not yet even selected one.

So I come to you, Destructoid.

To keep this post loosely game-related, if anyone has any great monologues from games that instantly spring to mind, please help me out and link to them. That said, I'm also looking for any other epic monologues, be they cinematic, theatrical or literary.

The winning entry will get, I dunno, a video of me performing said monologue, I suppose.

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

BlindsideDork

Ummm, any Final Fantasy game where the villain talks?

Cowzilla3

Patton speech in Patton is the defintion of epic...though I dunno if its what your looking for. Mr. Smith Goes to Washington delivers like woh. In fact do something where you have to talk like Jimmy Stewart that would be awesome.

blehman

I am error?

Silverback 55

carl's speech from Caddyshack about the Dali Lama.

shipero

You could always do Alex Ryan's bathysphere speech from BioShock.

BluDesign

I've always found Link's dialog from any of the Zelda games to be riveting.

Most famous quote: "..."

BlindsideDork

dvddesign, I liked the part right after that when he said "hi-yaaa!" and swang his sword but that wasn't part of the monologue so I fail.

weedgan

Two words.

Zero Wing.

shipero

Opps, it's actually Andrew Ryan. The speech is also really short, so I don't think you can use it.

ToxicPrince

@shipero

You're onto something... Wikiquote's got a big list of Andrew Ryan dialogue that, tbh, can just be strung together into one seamless monologue.

I believe we may have a winner.

Unless something more epic comes along in the meantime.

The rest of you, thanks!

weedgan

or you should do some diablo lines,

"come, shtay awhile."

ShawnKelfonne

There aren't really any extremely long monologues in most games, it tends to go against their interactive nature. But yeah, the Patton speech that Cowzilla mentioned is pretty damn good.

Vagina Monologue: The Game

RICHARD BLOCKER

best monolog ever?

Bender talking about children. it was something like,

"Parents. Have you ever taken the time to tear your child away from the TV, sit them down next to you, and beat them?

EternalDeathSlayer

Well fuck, I dunno. How bout one of Seymour's little speeches in FF 10? Dunno if he has any monologues though, they may all require a second person. Check it out.

B-Radicate

It would be funny to take a song and read it lyric for lyric like you were speaking. The more bizarre the lyrics the better.

Also, Mel Gibson's speech to the soldiers in Braveheart. That shit gets me pumped. Plus, it's be cool to dress up like him.

I can't think of any other monologues. The only thing that comes close is one passage from near the end of 1984, but I know that doesn't help. And quite honestly, I don't recall it anymore or what page it appears on. I used to know... sorry. I fail.

bbrigg1

Just recite the You've Got the Touch lyrics

Bob Muir

I'd suggest the opening of Symphony of the Night. You could rewrite it into a monologue and it would be awesome.

rubadub

Donny was a good bowler, and a good man. He was...he was one of us. He was a man who loved the outdoors, and bowling, and as a surfer he explored the beaches of southern California from La Holla to Leo Carillo, and up to Pismo. He died.. he died as so many young men of his generation before his time, and in your wisdom, Lord, you took him. Just as you took so many bright, flowering young men at Khe San, and Lan Doc, and Hill 364. These young men gave their lives, and so did Donny. Donny who loved bowling. And so, Theodore Donald Karabotsos.. in accordance with what we think your dying wishes might well have been....we commit your final mortal remains to the bosom of the Pacific Ocean, which you loved so well. Goodnight, sweet prince.

king3vbo

I think Andrew Ryan quote strung together would be epic

aborto thefetus

Pretty much anything Sam Jackson said in Pulp Fiction.

LostCrichton

You could find some nice patriot type speeches from the Metal Gear games I'm sure, but I'd lean towards the Andrew Ryan speeches for more dramatic tension and flair.
