    "I am the state" is spoiled for me by me knowing that it's actually a misattributed quote.

      Never seen Spock! Fix that immediately

      I really enjoy the Nimoy quotes. "I AM the state" is my favorite so far, though the sputnik one makes me chuckle everytime.

        I think there's a difference between "misattributed" and "never been proved that he actually said it".

        He may never had said it, but even if he hadn't, it's certainly an excellent imagining.

          Oh yeah, I just thought of my second favorite one:

            Watching at least one episode of Star Trek has been on my list for about a year now .

            I think there's a difference between "misattributed" and "never been proved that he actually said it".

            He may never had said it, but even if he hadn't, it's certainly an excellent imagining.


            Good point. That quote certainly fits Louis XIV well.

                Oh yeah, the vulcanmeister. I think it's great having his voice in the game, really one of the nice polishing touches.

                  to spock. Though I'm ashamed I didn't recognize his voice at first. I knew it sounded familiar, and I was trying to replay the quote to figure out who it was. By the second one I figured out who it was.

                      Mother Nature herself has provided in humans the need for the concept of God!

                      (or something like that!) I think Spock's voice is a little trebly in the game thus the low deepness is a little loss, or else it may be my speakers!

                      Probably considered the best movie of StarTrek:
                      Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

                      Considered the funniest Spock to me and movie is Star Trek IV: -- (maybe that should be Star Trek III when Spocks returns from the dead!) --
                      The Vovage Home (or something like that - save the Whales)

                      Scotty:
                      Computer! computer! (while he is talking into the mouse asnd using it as a microphone!)(they had to come back in time to save the Earth in the future!)
                      How quaint!

                        No doubt Spocks greatest moment since he appeared on The Simpsons!!

                          That waver in his voice is probably related to the fact that he's something like a hundred years old.

                          I chuckle when he pronounces "lava" with a short, flat "a". "Lava". heh. Dunno what dialect that's caused by.

                            none of the quotes are really that funny...

                            to be honest, they are getting annoying as I play more and more games
