Quality videogame dialogue
From Edge magazine's review of the new Conan the Barbarian game for Xbox360 and PS3 (not to be confused with the Conan MMORPG) comes this wonderful line from the game...
The context is that Conan has just slain some hordes (as you do) in order to rescue a princess. If you are at all familiar with the writings of Robert E Howard or for that matter the artwork of Boris Vallejo, you can probably imagine just how scantily clad this princess is and how she might be chained to an enormous stone pillar in a somewhat Freudian way. Anyway, whereas some rescuees in the game offer to thank Conan for rescuing them, this particular young lady comes out with the line:
"Crush me with your love, barbarian!"
