Graham actually survived being lit on fire and left to his own devices, and now wears bandages on his body to cover the severe burn marks that riddle his skin. This quote summarizes his strength and determination perfectly.

Once he walks inside the elevator, he states that it has to be him that does this, as another person may have made a mistake in his place.

You must construct additional pylons - 3 3K

Blizzard's StarCraft II is a game that has defined generations of strategic gameplay. There are few gamers out there who haven't put their hands on this iconic strategy piece, in which an echo-like voice of the Protoss Advisor will provide you with mostly bad news, such as your base being under attack or your lack of minerals. Most importantly, however, they'll be sure to remind you to build additional pylons. Anyone who has sunk more than a few hours into this game will know how irritatingly funny this line is, so much so that it resonated with 3.3K Redditors.

A conspiracy like that is bound to stick.

Known as simply the force in the background that guides our path through Portal and Portal 2, it soon becomes very evident that she's not exactly your friend. Or is she? To this day, it's difficult to know. Ultimately, GLaDOS is a narcissist and not exactly the most subtle personality either. She's not here to comfort you or to hold your hand, nor does she really sympathize with you that much. Still, no one can deny just how great of a character she is and how witty her lines are.

To give the Covenant back their bomb - 4 3K

Halo 2 remains as one of the most popular FPS games out there, and for a good reason. It's stock full of badass moments and great gameplay mechanics.

What ensues next is without a doubt the most spine-chillingly awesome and cool scene in a video game.

If the laws of physics no longer apply in the future… God help you - 4 4K
