Title says it all : one poster provides a video game quote, everyone else gets to guess which game the quote is from. Please try to make it a specific and not too obscure quote, not something like “hello m’lord !”. The point is to have fun, not stump everyone 😉 I’ll get the ball rolling with an easy one : “Please don’t go. The drones need you. They \*look up \*to you.” ---
