January 18, 2018 by CassiePSTBGN

Hey! Listen!

Welcome back to Press Start to BGN, this week on the show we revealed our favourite quotes from games and talked about the best sleuth in town Detective Pikachu. If you are a first time listener/reader Press Start to BGN is Laurier’s gaming show by a bunch of Game Design & Development students here at Laurier’s Brantford campus. The program is very new and so is our show, so for those who don’t know Game Design & Development is headed by Dr Scott Nicholson through the Brantford Games Network or BGN, hence the name “Press Start to BGN” which sounds like “begin.” Thanks for tuning in!

NEWS!

Quantic Dream leaders David Cage and Guillaume de Fondaumière are accused of inappropriate behaviour, overworking staff and colluding in – or at least turning a blind eye to – a schoolboy culture involving sexist and racist jokes.” – eurogamer.net (link)

Stephan:

  • “Remember Sly, just jump, and hit the circle button.” (Bentley, Sly Cooper)
  • “Would you kindly.” (Frank Fontaine, Bioshock)
  • “I believe in a universe that doesn’t care, and people who do.” (Angus, Night in the Woods)
  • “God never did (find me); I was completely alone in the pantry, but a few years later, Gregg did.” (Angus, Night in the Woods)
  • “You know how you just want to go and stand in a corner sometimes? Gregg’s my corner.” (Angus, Night in the Woods)
  • “Did I ever tell you what the definition of ‘insanity’ is?” (Vaas Montenegro, Far Cry 3)
  • “It’s time to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and I’m all out of ass.” (Duke Nukem, Duke Nukem Forever)
  • “I will take your head off and shit into your neck.” (Holoduke, Duke Nukem Forever)

 

Paris:

  • *insert ALL the banter between Jak and Daxter*
  • “I’m gonna kill Praxis!” (Jak, Jak II)

 

Cassie:

  • “I am terrible and it makes me sad. May I rest my head in your bosom? I wish to cry.” (Zevran Arainai, Dragon Age: Origins)
  • “I knew nothing of friendship before we met. And I will always consider you such. Live well, my friend. Live gloriously.” (Morrigan, Dragon Age: Origins)
  • “Taarsidath-an halsaam? Closest translation would be ‘I will bring myself sexual pleasure later, while thinking about this with great respect.’” (Iron Bull, Dragon Age: Inquisition)
  • “The Eye of the Tiger is fixed on a star. Zircon lies in fingers that scar. Amethyst floats in a hand from the deep. Citrine is what the fowl mouth shall keep. Tourmaline by a soft arm is ensnared. Peridot rests at the foot of a mare.” (Nancy Drew 13: Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon)
  • “Got cups on my ears.” (Gregg, Night in the Woods)
  • “Welcome to the world of Pokémon.” (almost every Pokémon game ever)

 

Eden:

  • *insert moment where Aloy gets upset at the fact that she only got accepted by the Nora tribe simply because All-Mother “claimed” her*

 

Jelena (aka yours truly):

  • “In a world without gold, we might have been heroes.” (Blackbeard, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag)
  • “Self expression is vital to understanding and enjoying life. You should find an outlet.”
