Ironic Fun Fact: It's actually 'Anything not saved will be lost'.

Amidst the eternal waves of time, from a ripple of change shall the storm rise. Out of the abyss peer the eyes of a demon. Behold the Razgriz, its wings a black sheath

The demon soars through dark skies. Fear and death trail its shadow, until men united wield a hallowed saber. In the final reckoning the beast is slain.

As the Demon sleeps man turns on man. His own blood and madness spread throughout the Earth. From the depths of despair awaken the Razgriz, it's raven wings ablaze with majestic light.

I don't know if it's my "favourite" but I remember how hilarious it was the first time I heard that original Resident Evil line about "you, the master of unlocking". Granted, at the time I assumed it was all intentional B-grade horror movie parody.

A great one from Another Crab's Treasure:

"I'm not-...!! I...I am getting angry, aren't I? I think, maybe, I've been angry the whole time. Ever since I left the tide pool. I never wanted to be. Everyone else seems angry all the time. I didn't want to be like that. But I can't help it! Not when people like you always get everything you want, and other people get hurt for it! It's not fair! And I'm really strong now, strong enough to stop you from making things worse!...I think I get what Chitan meant now. If I'm gonna be angry, I might as well use it for something good! So that maybe, one day, other people won't have to fight like me! And what better way to start than to beat up a SELFISH...GREEDY...MUSSEL SHUCKER LIKE YOU!!"

Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 2 points 16 hours ago

I wonder ehat Cave Johnson would make of Slug from Atmosphere's line "When life hands you lemons you paint that shit gold".
