How do I cite quotes from a video game?

Question

I'm taking direct quotes from what the charaters' scripts within the game.

Answer 1

Never thought about this one before.  I cite a lot of different sources.  I would do it like this:

Example:

"the quote." Title of the game.  Developer of the game.  Date released.  



[edit] Optional parameters

date: Full date of publication of the specified version, in ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD format, eg. 2006-02-17. Must not be wikilinked.

publisher: Publisher, if applicable to translation/edition

language: language of publication

isolang: If language is different than "English", add the ISO 639 code for the language to automatically add a language icon in front of the ref

version: version, if applicable

platform: platform, if applicable to the reference. (If citing something that is the same across all versions, this is unnecessary)

quote: the quote that is used as the reference
