In retrospect, this isn't nearly as funny as I thought, but it caught me off guard enough that I was broken for several minutes.
 
GM/ME (pre-game summary): "When last we left our intrepid heroes --"
PLAYER: "Aww CRAP! We've left our intreptid heroes!"

From the game today.

Me: "save for half."

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
Slightly different setting. World of Warcraft, we were on Teamspeak, a program which lets us speak to each other while playing.
 
It was a slow night on Teamspeak, fairly quiet, and one of the guys kept trying to get the convesration going by making jokes, but getting mostly silence. Finally in exasperation he said "This sucks. Nobody's laughing at my funny jokes."
 
I responded "Now, when have we ever not laughed at one of your funny jokes?"

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
We're playing a varient of the "Virtual Ice" adventure presented in Heroic Adventures, Volume One and the players' characters have just been introduced to what is essentially "City of Heroes" in the game universe.
 
Player 1: Okay, OOG (Out of Game) so why did we just make characters for this minigame again?
 
Me: It's the on-line character your character will be playing while you're trying to figure out what The Bandits are up to with this ripping off the virtual museum every night.
 
Player 1: So I have to play this on-line character as if my character were playing it, right?
 
Me: Exactly.
 
Player 1: This is going to be so confusing...
 
Me: Well, look on the bright side -- at least I didn't put in an arcade like Grand Theft Auto San Andreas...
 
Player 2: (To Player 1) Yeah, 'cause I'm willing to bet your on-line character would just suck at Ms. Pac Man.
 
Player 1: (To Me) All right, now I want that arcade to be there so I can kick his (Player 2's) butt!
 
Player 2: (Obviously not paying attention) What?
 
Player 1: That's right, I'm going to kick your butt at Ms. Pac Man!
 
Player 2: Okay, now you've lost me -- which level of reality are we talking about again -- real life, the game universe or the virtual reality in the game universe?
 
Me: He wants to kick your butt on Ms. Pac Man in an arcade in the virtual reality in the game universe.
 
Player 2: They have arcades in this thing, too?
 
Me: Since it would be even more confusing, no, because now I'm getting a headache.

This one got a groan from everyone else.
 
One of the players rubbed the back of his head and complained that one the dice sitting on a shelf behind him had hit him. So I commented that it must have been a polterdice.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
Character creation session (for a Cyberpunkish game) rather than actual gaming, but we still managed a few good lines.
 
ME: "Okay, let's get this joke out of the way." *stares at Jeff* "Who are you?"
JEFF (making a Bat Moreau): "I'm Batman."
ME: "Okay, now that it's out of our system, we will never. use. that. joke. again."
 
(while describing boostergangs)
Me: "There's a gang that uses cybernetics to emulate comic-book superheroes from the old days. The Superman guy is probably the most chromed-out mofo on the planet. Artificial muscle fiber, subcutaneous body armor, flight system, laser optics, X-ray optics ... anyway, the gang's usual schtick is making businesses pay a 'hero tax' for protection."
(pause)
Me: "They're the X-tortionists."

Later, there was talk of 'barbarian shopping.'

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
A friend of mine is coming into town and actually offered to GM. I told him about others who would like in on the game. His response...
 
"The more the merrier. It’s been a while since I ran a large-scale session, but I’m up for it. What characters are they likely to play, and do you have a quick overview of each one so I have some idea how to kill them?"

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
In a 7th Seas game my wife was running, I was playing a Cap'n Nick, captain of the dread pirate ship The Skull and the Rose. We raided a Montaigne ship and were in the process of mopping up the defenders when my character saw a lovely Montaigne noblewoman carrying a chest and running towards one of the lifeboats.
 
Cap'n Nick leapt to intercept her, brandished his sword, and said, "Not so fast, my dear. I'd like to take a better look at your chest. Also, I want to see what's in that box."

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
Okay, a little narcissism here, though it was about two weeks ago. Over on Hero Central:
 
Other player: "Sir, tell me what happened and where it hurts... I will help you if I can."
 
My response: You get the distinctive feeling that the character isn't conscious; however, with your knowledge of biology, you think that if the bloody man could talk right now, he'd say something to the effect of "It hurts where the two bullet holes are."

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
After a long weekend at Origins (a few years back), my wife and I returned home with a couple friends to enjoy a little Golden Age Champions. We were all a little slaphappy, so a few entertaining tidbits were sure to creep up.
 
My wife was new to the game, though she'd seen us play several times before. Upon seeing her character, she began to ask me about the things on the character sheet and I explained them in detail. Eventually, she started looking very intently at the sheet, even turning it over to look on the back for something...
 
Me: "What are you looking for?"
Wife: "Does my character have super vision?"
Me: "Nope."
Wife (without missing a beat): "Sweet! I'm unsupervised!"

I must be crazy...this is the 2nd night in a row I've gamed to almost 4 a.m., and I've got to be up in 2 hours (2.5 if I'm 'generous' with myself), yet here I am, posting before I hit the sack...
 
All of these are from tonight's game...it was a very, ah, 'fertile' night for notable quotes.

A fun one in a campaign of mine by a player's character (Doc Quantum) who's found his very own Lois Lane: "Ah, the intrepid and constantly underfoot Ms. Park. A bomb threat and a battle between superhumans, and the all clear not given...I thought you'd be here sooner."
