Epic topic! However, seeing as though almost all games were considered... HOW COULD THEY MISS THESE!

".... then they'd just send some special ops douchebags, with pussy ass heartbeat monitors on their guns instead of us.." - Sweetwater from BC2

"Hail to the king, baby";
"You're an inspiration for birth control" - Duke Nukem

WoW boss quotes really should've been considered..
"YOU ARE NOT PREPARED!" - Illidan
"I guess it doesn't bend that way" - XT 002
(and too many others)

Bound to be subjective. Would definately add the kick ass and chew gum Duke quote, as well as Shodan's monologue from the opening of System Shock 2: "Look at you, hacker. A pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?".

Some other personal faves
"You are not prepared!", Illidan - Burning Crusade
"You no take candle!" - Kobolds

"My son...the day you were born, the very forests of Lordaeron whispered the name...Arthas.
My child...I watched with pride as you grew into a weapon...of righteousness.
Remember, our line has always ruled with wisdom and strength,
and I know you will show restraint in exercising your great power.
But the truest victory, my son, is stirring the hearts of your people.
I tell you this, for when my days have come to an end...you shall be King." -Terenas Menethil, opening cinematic, Wrath of the Lich King

Close second is the dryad from Warcraft 3: "I'm not that type of dryad!" "I'm not in season!" "I'll use my human call: I'm so wasted! I'm so wasted!"

"In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king" - Max Payne
