Doh, I read that as "eye-bob-tu". Not as an acronym. 😕

Anyway, I always think of "I'm a gonna win", atleast I think Mario says that in MarioKart 64.

Actually that's Wario "I'ma Wario! I'ma guna win!"

 
Is it possible? Nobody said this?

"Counter-Terrorists Win!"

I was also going to mention a few but some other people beat me to them...

"Hadouken!" (sp?)
"I Mein Laben!" (sp again...)
"Toasty!"
"Ding!" (does this one count?)
"Flawless Victory!"
"Riiiight-O"
"You need more lesbian gas" (or was that vespian... 🙂 )
"Ultrakill!"

The Quad sound will forever be trapped in my memory as well... if Quake1 had phrases, I'm sure the Quad one would be up there.
