Oh, hand on, it was Johnny Alpha when he shot Bubba again, wasn't it? In Rage. I remember now.

Christ, how sad am I?

Good line, though

Who said "Because I hate you?"

Some context would be good - if I'm gonna organise these I need to be able to attribute them to people. I'll try to dig out the episodes/ progs, but am a bit lazy (hey - I made my own icon so I'm not that bad, although it does show so if anyone wants to make me one...) so if you're posting a quote try and say who said it and when.

General / Best cover, best line

So we've had the best cover competition, but what about the poor writers out there? What do you think the best every line or piece of dialouge in 2K was?

If you take even thirty seconds you'll realise that there are so many to choose from - lines or phrases that have stuck in my mind, anyway, for years. And that's despite sometimes only reading them once!

Zenith Phase I has a few classics in particular - how about:

"You didn't drop him, did you?" (when Zentih drops the Welsh bloke)

or

"We still have to deal with... THAT!" (upon seing the big baddie in all its glorious colour-back-page-ness).

But enough of that, what do you think the best line is? It could be a catch phrase (Crime is life, sentence is death) or just an apt expression (S'right).

If you're half way interested, post a line. If there's enough of a response I'll try and organise a Logan style head to head (hey, I can steal anyone's thunder) or other vote. If not, then... Kiss my axe!

Surely there's a tale to be told of the judges out there, with their own "justice dept"?

Yep, I noticed it - when I first read it.

And wrote to the Nerve Centre to point it out.

But got ignored.

Bah!

Umm. Celtic get no favours; if you remember, they were hours away from liquidation when bought by Fergus McCann - and they "only" had debts of ?4m in comparison to Rangers debts of over ?50m. AND that was in the mid-90s when footie was a boom industry.

VERY basically and not legal gospel...

Wearing my lawyers hat for a sec, and assuming anyone is interested, those clubs which are plcs (including Celtic and Man U) cannot get preferential bank treatment as easily as other clubs because of the very strict city laws and regulations regarding listed companies.

This, BTW, is why Rangers don't list - they could raise a lot of money but it would need to be used to pay off their debt, and if the debt wasn't fully cleared by the listing then there is a chance their listed status could be threatened!

The Zenith text story was in the last summer special, I think, and was about a world where everyone had superpowers apart from one bloke - called "Bert" or something similar - who, by virtue of his normality, was considered superpowered.

Better characters have had no exit.

We should be left with the epitaph:

"Sinister/ Dexter will return."

And then turn the page.

Type the following into Google, then hit "I Feel Lucky". Then read closely (and, in the case of the second one, go for the alternative search).

First up:

"Weapons of mass destruction"

Second:

"French military victories"

Yes. They must be fakes. Look, no shadows! And everyone knows that Collie dogs weren't invented until 1982 - four years after 2K started.
