The writers behind the scripts of our favorite games don’t get enough credit for the work they do. Without those skilled wordsmiths, our favorite games wouldn’t have the awesome stories and dialogues they’re known for. Those scripts sometime contain quotes that stick in your head and uttering those lines are synonymous with the game itself.

If you’re playing on the best gaming laptops from Sager Notebook, here are some of the most memorable quotes from our favorite games:

“War. War never Changes” (Fallout)

This is a line that was never spoken in the game. It’s quote etched on one of the walls in the Aperture Labs Test Facility by one of GLaDDOS’ guinea pigs. In the end of it all, one can’t be sure about whether there was cake to begin with.

The dreaded Kirov Airship is the Soviet Union’s most deadly weapon in Red Alert 2. Dropping bombs in discriminately, leaving destruction in its wake. Once your war factory churns this out, it reports with the quote.

Dark Souls is one of the most difficult video games ever created. Challenging levels and enemies, as a matter of fact, you will die a lot. When you do, ta-da, there’s the quote greeting you (which we imagine is multiple times).
