History Funny / RosssGameDungeon

* Ross makes it clear in the very start of the episode that while he likes the ''Sonic'' games, he enjoys them on a more casual basis rather than being as die-hard as its fanbase, which he calls the "Cult of Sonic" throughout the episode. Youtube Comments from some fans of the series seem to [[ActuallyPrettyFunny not only find the moniker funny]], but a few even roll with it.

--> '''Ross:''' The vultures are showing me no quarter. It's a bloodbath now. I mean tomato bath. I feel as though I've trancended into a tomato tossing ninja, just doing everything I possibly can to bring these vultures down. I can feel myself getting [[ShellShockedVeteran battle fatigue]] but it's '''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis still.]]''' '''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis Not.]]''' '''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis Enough.]]'''

* Ross takes a liking to a brief line by Leonid Alexandrov chiding Sergei Kozlov for giving BJ the medalion, and elects to give [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech his interpretation]] of what he was trying to convey.
--> '''Leonid:''' [[DamnedByFaintPraise Alright, you did as well as I'd expect for someone so young.]]
--> '''Ross:''' [[SincerityMode Man, I love that.]] It's just a quick line, but it conveys everything. I sympathize with him. It's like he's saying "I don't blame you, I blame myself. I should've known better for thinking you wouldn't fuck everything up. This is the price we pay for my optimism." [[SurroundedByIdiots I've been there.]]

--> '''Ross:''' Oh, she doesn't trust me yet, huh? Wow, this is some ''great'' writing. I'm B.J. Blazkowicz! I've killed 800 fucking Nazis in this game alone! That's not good enough for her? Hey, this is the sequel to ''VideoGame/{{Wolfenstein 3D}}''! Did you tell her I killed Hitler?! I killed ''Adolf fucking Hitler?!'' I put a bullet in his head as he was facing me down with twin chainguns. What does she want? Does she need me to kill ''two'' Hitlers? In fact, what's going on here? Who's in charge now? Hey, game? Could you at least give us a sentence as to what's happening with the war now that ''Hitler's dead?'' I mean, that's kind of a big deal?"

-->'''Narrator:''' Eternal damnation awaits us all.\\

--->'''Ross:''' [[CaptainObvious No one sane works at this company, and it shows]].

--> '''Ross''': At least, I think it's endless. I dunno, I ran out of ammo.

--> '''Ross''': At this point, I feel like the game has won, and I'm not actually questioning anything that's happening here.

--> '''Security Guard:''' Hello, sir. Can I ask you what your business here is?\\

-->'''Ross:''' Wait, what about the aliens? You said this was starting to make sense and would tell me more later. Well it's later now, right? [[LeftHanging Now you can explain what happened?]]

--->'''Granny:''' [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment Three nothing onions dipped in cow dung, two falafels with moose cock, one chief plant with pubic hair, and so on.]]

-->'''Ross''': Nothing [[SerialKiller this guy]] says is going to help you in life.

--> '''Ross:''' DO NOT PRESS THE ESCAPE KEY! YOU NEED TO PRESS THE "''QUIT''" KEY! NOT THE "''ESCAPE''" KEY! '''DO YOU UNDERST-'''

-->'''Ross:''' I'm in gaming hell.
-->'''Ross:''' I didn't find the magic. Sorry guys.

-->cut to Messiah title screen and industrial music
-->'''Ross:''' [[DeathGrowl MESSIAAAH!]]

--->'''Knuckles''': Just enough to pass.
--->'''Ross''': Bite me.
--->'''Tails''': We can do better…
--->'''Ross''': No, we can’t Tails. We really can’t.

--->'''Ross''': You know when a game makes you think you’re crazy because from your perspective, you’re doing what you’ve always done, yet for whatever reason it doesn’t anymore and you die? So your natural instinct is to think you made a mistake and haven’t mastered the nuances of a game. When the reality is you’ll never know!”

--->'''Ross''': [S]o they have to work their relationship problems out in public in a giant team brawl. Yeah! I take back what I said, this is fascinating writing. In fact, I wouldn’t mind seeing a real-life enactment of this. A 12-year old girl with a hammer, some toddlers and a Hulk beating up her beau and friends to marry him.

--->'''Ross:''' A picture says a thousand words. This is me being a hero in 'Sonic Heroes''.

--->'''Ross''': Does he have a robot ass? I tried and couldn’t really conceptualize this one biologically. The tails would just twist and pop off.

--->'''Shadow''': [[TimeStandsStill CHAOS CONTROL!]]
--->'''Ross''': What? Oh, they have a Chaos Emerald?! That's bringing a gun to a fist fight!

--->'''Ross:''' Looks like we've got another game trying to make me think I'm cra-zy! But the video doesn't lie. Busted, you son of a bitch! Trick or treat on me this year! Trying to slip some razorblades into the apples, huh?

--->'''Ross''': Oh, this was published by [[Creator/ElectronicArts EA]]. Okay.

--->'''Ross''': Okay, this is a competitive field, but this might be the worst tutorial I’ve ever seen.

--->'''Ross''': “I’m in hell! This is hell!”
--->'''Demonic voice''': “Oh, what’s the matter, Ross? You don’t like Hell? You said you wanted to see Hell, didn’t you? You see, it wasn’t enough to simply see Hell. No, you needed to experience it. You needed to go deeper. Then deeper still. Until you were finally here. Now you understand. You understand that these levels are just going to repeat forever. You understand that your minions are going to become infinitely weaker. You understand the false hope of better gear. You understand that your only companions to provide you comfort are these mannequin-looking [[PrecisionFStrike fuckers]] that say things like you would expect from an AI. Welcome to Hell.”

--->'''Ross:''' It's the one about the Medieval detective who kills himself to solve crimes. You know the one I'm talking about.
--->'''Demonic Voice:''' Oh, yeah! That one!

--> '''Ross:''' You know, where I come from, we call a toy gun that kills people just "a gun" for short.

--> '''Ross:''' Well... he's dead. I'm not confused about that part.

-->'''[[Series/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy1981 Marvin]]:''' I think you ought to know I'm feeling very depressed.
-->'''Ross:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Oh, God...]]

"Well, I just started. It's a little early to be [[DisposableSexWorker killing hookers.]] [[ComedicSociopathy Maybe later.]]"

--> *The player character bites the woman, resulting in a drawn out, [[{{Narm}} terribly acted]] scene of her choaking to death.*
-->'''Ross:''' [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight Ok, we got our goth bucks,]] let's head inside.

-->'''Martin Karne:''' Wrapper from an old country cottage candy bar. Hmm, I could lick off what's left, but I'm not that kinda guy.
-->'''Ross:''' (mockingly) Everyday I fight the temptation. I must remain vigilant.

-->'''Martin Karne:''' A dartboard. One of them [[UsefulNotes/UnitedKingdom Brit]] games. Never played it. Never will.
-->'''Ross:''' Somebody had a bad time in the UK!

* "I mean this game is clearly copying ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil1 Resident Evil]]''. I've heard people describe ''[[VideoGame/DeadSpace Dead Space]]'' as [[RecycledInSpace Resident Evil in space]]. No! ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil4 Resident Evil 4]]'' in space, maybe. THIS is Resident Evil [[ItWasHisSled in space]]. Or Mars I guess. I mean we've got the TankControls, dramatic [[FixedCamera camera angles]], limited saves. Christ! I'm glad that's [[ScrappyMechanic a trend]] that didn't catch on. Well one thing it DIDN'T copy is how the Save Room is a nice safe place to calm down, figure out what you're doing, listen to nice music. No! Screw that! This is ''Martian Gothic!'' - we don't have pansy Save Rooms here. [[UnsafeHaven We have zombies]] that [[FakeDifficulty glitch-attack you]]. ''GO TO HELL!''"

* "Oh ''wow''. Well I'll spare you the details. [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard This game plays dirty]], so, ''so do I''".

-->'''Kenzo Uji:''' Groovy.
-->'''Ross:''' Huh. So who do you think says it better? Kenzo or [[Franchise/EvilDead Ash]]?"

--> '''David Lynch:''' ''Stupid Martians!''

*** All the while, Ross is begging, "Granny, stop. Stop."

* When Ross is complaining that a lot of "Choice-Based" story games tend to railroad players with fairly inorganic choices with minor changes to side content to provide the illusion of choice he creates a diagram to show what he thinks game Devs should arrive for (at about 36:58). More than one commenter noticed that he seemed to, by ''complete coincidence'', draw up the level tracker from VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog and seemed to accidentally imply that ''Shadow'' has a story based on more impactful choices than the entire works of David Cage and ''Telltale Games''!

** The Lizardman is a Goomba from the ''Film/SuperMarioBros'' movie.

* "New York is STILL researching the power plant! '''What is going on in New York?''' They're taking over three times longer to do the same work everyone else did." (cut to a clip of Creator/JohnLeguizamo quoting the line 'Must've been a non-union job' from ''Film/SuperMarioBros'')

* (Ross checks out the PlayerCharacter roster before selecting 'King') "Now this guy's interesting. He's like a Cuban racer version of an ElvisImpersonator. What with the striped bell bottoms, and look at his face! That's a lot of wrinkles for 42. This guy has ''seen some sun'' that's for sure.
* (Ross selects and assesses 'Mia') "Okay... some sort of a sexy bondage French [[Film/TheLegendOfZorro Zorro look]]. Not bad."
* (Selects the rest of the roster) "[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI Final Fantasy 11]] fans, it looks like you can play as a Galka in this game. So there you go. Okay, a [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Power Ranger]], and [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII M.Bison]]."

* "Finally, the game had a surprise for me, because there's more than one definition of "killing time". There's the usual expression of killing time by finding sometime to do while you're waiting. But then there's '''Killing Time''', which I thought for sure was the definition being used by this game. But no, it was a ''third'' literal definition. ''Time itself'' was being killed. (laughs to a SignatureLaugh clip of Statler and Waldorf from ''Series/TheMuppetShow''."
* "That's the episode. Have a Happy Halloween and stay tuned for the next episode, which was supposed to be ''this one'', but I did that thing again while I'm in the [[SeriesContinuityError wrong sequence]]. Yeah, this game's not the only one that could have time distortion that doesn't make sense! Ah-ha!"
