The Quote game

I love quoting people, games, movies, comics and stuff so I thought I could turn it into a little game :D

It's easy:
The first person posts a quote without telling who said it where but they have to say what medium it's from.
The first person who guesses where the quote is from gets to post the next quote and so on and so forth.

I'll start:
"I shall now teach you of French Kissing."
Medium: Videogame.

PS: Please be so fair not to google the quote, that's cheating :I

    You mentioned playing Brutal Legend or something like that, so I think it could be from that game, but I'm not sure :\
  • ButtercheeseButtercheese Member Posts: 3,766
    Ding ding ding, that would be correct ~
    Please post the next quote, @CrevsDaak‌.

    "Ah, he serves you well, indeed."
    It's from a book (a play in two parts to be certain) ;)

    Pick me! o/

    Um... Faust?

    Ha, well done @TheElf, beat me to it by a couple of hours ;-) At least I think it's right, it's the only play in 2 parts i can think of right now (thanks for the hint @CrevsDaak‌ ) and I'm pretty sure he's mentioned reading that before...
  • CrevsDaakCrevsDaak Member Posts: 7,155
    Yep, @TheElf‌ got this one :)
    @rufus_hobart‌ yeah, I'm reading it, but my mom misplaced the book somewhere like an year ago and I can't find it. I'm pretty sure that if I look for it I'll find it, but I didn't do any search at all.

    Ok. I'll go with my favorite movie as a l'il guy:
    "Your friends, they're not bad people. Maybe we oughtta give them a couple of days to think it over. No? Grease 'em now? Ok. You are a vicious bastard, Rotelli, and uh, I'm glad your dead."
    Sadly enough that's from memory, but I'm sure it's close to 100% right.
  • TheElfTheElf Member Posts: 798
    No one? :( Do I have to give hints?
  • ButtercheeseButtercheese Member Posts: 3,766
    Yes, some hints please ^^'

    It's a movie based on a comic book.

    That one is from Batman (the 1989 one)! I also like that movie :D so it wasn't hard to guess.

    It's another one from a (different) book.

    Frick, that one sounds REALLY familiar ...
    Is it from a book by a british author?

    You have to give us the medium at least Bengoshi. This game is hard enough without it.
  • JuliusBorisovJuliusBorisov Member, Administrator, Moderator, Developer Posts: 22,724
    Medium: Literature, a well-known russian author (and a poet) of the 19th century ;)
  • TheElfTheElf Member Posts: 798
    Crime and Punishment?
  • FinneousPJFinneousPJ Member Posts: 6,455
    No, it's not 19th century @bengoshi.
  • JuliusBorisovJuliusBorisov Member, Administrator, Moderator, Developer Posts: 22,724
    1799-1837 :)

    (and a poet) is a bit weird thing to say about him :P
  • FinneousPJFinneousPJ Member Posts: 6,455
    @bengoshi Oops I got the wrong guy. Nvm

    Must be Alexander Pushkin, but i don't know where from the quote is. So i can just guess: The Queen of Spades?

    Glint from Siege of Dragonspear.


    Time for my riddle: in a certain video game there is a spell called Masterful Unseen Wisdom. Which video game is that?
