Powet Top 5 – Worst Lines in Video Games

There have been some famous utterances in the history of media. Famous lines such as “Yippie-Ki-Yay, Motherf**ker” and “Hasta La Vista, Baby” have been immortalized in our brains since first hearing them, and find themselves worthy of repeating upon anointed occasions. Video games are no exception, what with many games being dialogue-heavy, and thus producing a myriad of memorable lines.

However, not all dialogue is the stuff of writing gold. Indeed, for every fantastic line, there tends to be at least one line that’s so cheesy or utterly out-of-place that it defies logic to even include it in the game and makes us ponder how the game’s writers ever thought they were geniuses upon adding it. Alot of these truly awful lines are so bad, that they actually come full circle, and become immortalized even more than if they were an awesome line.

Thus, we have my Top 5 Worst Lines in Video Games, in no particular order since they’re all equally and awesomely bad.

Diablo 3 Release Date is May 15th


As can be seen on Blizzard’s Diablo website, the long awaited third installment of Blizzard’s gothic demon-hunting MMO finally was announced to have a release date two months from today. Pre-orders for the game can already be purchased, with the curious tag line of “be ready to play when the servers go live”. Whether this means anything other than being the first geek to delve into the ruins of Tristram and beyond is unknown, but at least after years of teasing and baiting, the fan community has a date to set on their calendars and a timeframe before productivity takes a massive dive.

Resident Evil 6 Official Trailer Released

If you haven’t seen it yet, it looks like Capcom decided to pull out all the stops and release a full trailer of the highly anticipated Resident Evil 6.

Between this, Operation: Raccoon City for consoles this Spring, and Revelation for the 3DS to be released in a few weeks, it’s looking like 2012 is ripe for a return to the roots of good old-fashioned zombie-killing.

Resident Evil 6 is slated for release on November 20th, 2012.



Powet Presents: MAGfestX 2012 – Richter Belmont vs. BrentalFloss

MAGfest X was a fantastic festival of gaming and music for almost all involved, but for a certain vampire hunting professional, it was a quest to regain the honor of the Belmont family after it was questioned and poked-fun at in lyrical-form by a certain video game parody singer.

This was the clash that resulted.
