In pocket D i overhead someone say "im gonna do to you what limp bizkit did to music in the 90s"

 

Also the random pick up lines and put downs are pretty pretty good.

[FoulVileTerror]

So, I just walked in on this scene:

[Lines]

 

Slow news day, I guess.

Also, Bodica seems to be very popular.

And, it looks like the Carnies really didn't like you.

That looks exactly like the mission list I get when all I need are two more Zeus Titans for the badge.

[Judasace]

 

Yep, it's the early 00s forever in Paragon City.

Some new ones:

 

Heard while hitting the badges and plaques in First Ward:
[NPC] Resistance Fighter: Aw, this ain't good. He done got baconized!
 
In the 'Find kidnapped body builder' mission, proof that the Council are just cranked out on assembly lines with minimal sapience:
[NPC] Equinox Parasite: I, too, hope to go to Ravenna someday.
[NPC] Vortex Cor Leonis Fire: Leon Natale is a lucky, lucky man.
[NPC] Zenith Hoverbot: I, too, hope to go to Ravenna someday.
[NPC] Equinox Parasite: Leon Natale is a lucky, lucky man.

[Doc Buzzsaw]  "Oh, what has science wrought? I sought only to turn a man into a metal-encased juggernaut of destruction powered by the unknown properties of a mysterious living crystal. How could this have all gone wrong?"

 

Never change, Doc. Never change.

Slight reference to Juggernaut from Marvel Comics?

 [NPC] Spectral Daemon: You're quite correct. You 'ain't got no problem' with us.' 
[NPC] Ohmtown: Look, money, I'm just here on a mission for my man Drek. I ain't got no problem with you.
[NPC] Spectral Daemon: Unfortunately, that's a double negative, 
[NPC] Spectral Daemon: meaning that you do indeed have a problem.

This makes me a bit more sympathetic to the Circle of Thorns, actually. 

It sounds like the Spectral Daemons would properly appreciate Wierd Al's #WordCrimes video.

[Patti]

But ain't ain't a word, so it's only a single negative.

"Juggernaut" as a word entered English in the mid-19th century from the Sanskrit "Jagannatha", which a name for Krishna, specifically in reference to a huge wagon that carried statues of gods, including Jagannatha.  In British pop culture, it was believed that this wagon would run over everything in its path, & so soon gained the connotation of an unstoppable force.  So referring to something or someone as a juggernaut long preceded Marvel Comics in the 1960s adopting this concept to a character.

The Luddites continue to be a productive source of quotable quotes:

 

[NPC] Luddite Friar: Illustration 4 is entitled 'How to go limp.'
[NPC] Luddite Torch Bearer: Does this mean I have to throw away my PSP?

[Pengy]

Overheard in Brickstown while gathering for a Manticore TF: [NPC] Jeanette: So I said to my cou... Lord Nemesis is watching you, Heatseeker ...sin that I just don't know about these Vanguard guys.

[ZorkNemesis]

Skull boss in an early Peacebringer story mission.

 

Hellions and $player! I knew mugging a nun was bad luck.

[EmmySky]

This made me giggle.

 

[EmmySky]

Okay, ya'll help me out here please.

 

I seem to recall from live (ok so a memory at least a decade old, questionable at best) an Igneous or some such in the Gulch in the Hollows saying "Where am friend?"

 

Am I misremembering?  Am I remembering a different game (LOL like I play other games)?  Can anyone help me pin this down?  Am thinking of taking a toon to peruse the gulch to see if I can find it but I don't remember if its tied to a specific mission or enemy or arc or whatever.

[FoulVileTerror]

I don't think the Igneous ever speak English, broken or otherwise.  That line sounds like something a Troll would spout instead.

Slag heaps yes!  Thank you...I knew it was a ... less that genius level foe lol.  

[FoulVileTerror]

Ah, damn.   Well done @Grouchybeast.  I wouldn't have even thought to check that.

[Spaghetti Betty]

Synapse: "Are you using Inspirations?"

[CursedSorcerer]

Blood Brother Slugger: "I can't read it. What's a 'zotz'?"

 

Good question, BBS. What exactly is a 'zotz?' The best I could come up with is some kind of candy? https://zotzpower.com/

"So two rabbis walk into a bar and--"

 

Only really funny if it's uttered by an out-of-character like a Circle of Thorns Mage (Which it actually was in this case!)

[CursedSorcerer]

Yet another one:  [NPC] Arachnos Technician: "So I said, sorry pal, I don't do windows! Get it? Get it?"

[Ukase]

So, was getting Keen Sighted in Kings Row and read/"heard" this: 

[05:34] [NPC] Mortificator: Ozwalt! Break this hero's bones!


The mortificator was the only one up there besides me...so uh...who's Ozwalt?
