YouTube Tuesday: Epic Speech Overload Edition

If you’re not inspired by some part of this, there’s just no getting through to you. Extra points given for using one of my all-time favorite geek epic speeches that is underquoted: Picard’s “The line must be drawn here!” speech from First Contact. 

TheGame is Dave Chalker, a lifelong gamer, freelance game designer, Master of Arts, and son of Jack L. Chalker. Dave is the Editor-in-Chief of Critical Hits and so runs the place. He is the envy of geeks everywhere because he's dating e, the Geek's Dream Girl. (Email Dave or follow him on Twitter).

    I gotta admit, I always get a chill when I watch Dillon’s “I ain’t one for beggin’!” speech on Alien3 (which I still enjoy watching and wish had been the second one instead of the third…)

    “We’re all gonna die. The only question is how you check out. Do you want go on your feet? Or on your f-g knees… begging? Well I ain’t much for begging! And nobody ever gave me nothing! So I say F- that thing! Let’s fight it!”

    There’s also the epic speech by Bill Hicks about life being a ride.
