Happy birthday to one of the best games of all time, which has become weirdly topical lately!:
Bob Page: "Your appointment to FEMA should be finalized within the week. I've already discussed the matter with the Senator."
Walton Simons: "I take it he was agreeable?"
Page: "He didn't really have a choice."
Simons: "Has he been infected?"
Page: "Ah yes, most certainly. When I mentioned we could put him on the priority list for the Ambrosia vaccine, he was so willing it was almost pathetic."
Simons: "This plague — the rioting is intensifying to the point where we may not be able to contain it."
Page: "Why contain it? Let it spill over into the schools and churches. Let the bodies pile up in the streets. In the end, they'll beg us to save them."


I really need to replay it. I think the last time I did was the 10th anniversary, and I never did finish my Realistic difficulty run, which means it's time. And since every time you mention it someone reinstalls it, well.
"It's only a matter of time before someone clever and ambitious figures out that the tools of dictatorship have been ready-made by well meaning governments all over the world."
-Paul Denton

"Being a soldier isn't just following orders, it's following those orders in the service of a higher cause. When that cause is betrayed, we're not soldiers anymore, just pieces on a chess board dying for the wrong reason."
-Sam Carter

"Do you ever ask what it's all for? The surveillance, the police, the shoot-on-sight laws? Is that freedom?"
-Leo Gold

"G-d was a dream of good government."
-Morpheus"
I could go on forever, but I'll save that for the review when I replay it.
