Best line in a videogame…

….ever. To date anyway. I keep forgetting to post this. I had great fun working my way through Freedom Force which is a great homage to the old golden age comics I grew up with as a kid. Towards the end of the game the heroes are confronting the ultimate bad guy. Straight out of an episode of Batman, he launches into a long screed about why he’s done all the evil deeds he’s done. He concludes with a manaical laugh and a declaration that:

I want to live…..Forever!!! [mwu ha ha ha ha ha]

To which one of the heroes responds:

Good for you. Join a gym

That cracked me up like nothing in a game has in ages. The whole game is full of great Batman-esque dialog; that line takes the cake though.
