In the near future, you don't live to play... you'll play to live.
Who's playing you?
Ken Castle: I hope one day to have the opportunity to breach your firewall, Miss Parker Smith. [kisses her hand]
[last lines]::Geek Leader: Well played, Kable.
Kable: Turn me around.
Female News Host #1: On a personal note, that shit was fucked up!::News Co-Host #1: Yeah it was. I literally pissed myself.
[For the first time, Kable is speaking with Simon, his controller in the game]::Kable: What are you, twelve?::Simon: I'm seventeen, thank you.::Kable: This is unbelievable! Why am I not dead yet?::Simon: Because I am a bad-ass motherfucker.
Ken Castle: [seeing Hackman] Look at it. The new face of Slayers. Pure, crystalized horror. Two stories high and bathed in bloody red. He is what they want.::Geek Leader: They love Kable.::Ken Castle: They do now, but when they watch their hero die right in front of their eyeballs so sharp and vivid it feels like you could reach out and touch the wet flesh, they're going to change their point of view. They'll be seduced by the power of violence; the dominance. It's human nature.::Geek Leader: Kable's made it through 28 battles. Every player in the game has tried to take him out.::Ken Castle: Yeah, Kable's the perfect soldier. He's a tactical killing computer. His only vulnerability is the nanex itself; the *ping*, the delay between Simon's commands and Kable's ability to execute.::Geek Leader: So why should this one be any different? Who controls him?::Ken Castle: [long pause] No one.
Upgrade Guard: Who aims?::Kable: What?::Upgrade Guard: Who aims? The player or the slayer?::Kable: I'm the hand. Someone, somewhere else is the eye.::Upgrade Guard: That's tripped out, man.::Kable: Sometimes, they take over completely. Move you around like a robot. But that don't work so good.::Upgrade Guard: Why not?::Kable: The delay.::Upgrade Guard: Right, the "ping," they talk about that. The time it takes for the Slayer to respond to the player's commands.::Kable: Whatever they call it, when you're in the game, a slice of a second is the difference between living and dying. When that trigger pulls... it's just me.
Hackman: [singing] I've got no strings, so I have fun. I'm not tied up to anyone. They got strings, but you can see, there are no strings on me.
Simon: Gibs.::Kable: What?::Simon: Like giblets. Kibbles 'n Bits. Chunks. Pieces. Everywhere.::Kable: These are real humans fucker!::Simon: Death row psychos, so what? They had it coming anyway, right?::Kable: I guess that goes for me too.::Simon: Yeah, but you're different.::Kable: Different. How?::Simon: I don't know, because you're *my* psycho.
Kable: Kid's gonna get me killed.::Simon: Dude, I'm right here man. I can hear you.::Kable: Listen to me. I don't know who's behind it or why, but I was supposed to die tonight. Lucky for us, I can beat them, but not with you controlling me.::Simon: What the hell are you talking about?::Kable: Turn me loose, kid. You want to win? Turn me loose!

Art, Love & Death
Slayer is an American thrash metal band formed in Huntington Park, California, in 1981 by guitarists Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King. Slayer rose to fame with their 1986 release, Reign in Blood, and is credited as one of the "Big Four" thrash metal acts, along with Metallica, Megadeth and Anthrax. Their album Reign in Blood is considered to be the foundation and inspiration of death metal.
Slayer's musical traits involve fast tremolo picking, double bass drumming, and shouted (or chanted) vocals. Hanneman, King, and bassist/lead vocalist Tom Araya, contribute to the band's lyrics. King and Hanneman create and arrange the music with additional arrangement from drummer Dave Lombardo and sometimes Araya. The band's lyrics and album art, which cover topics such as serial killers, Satanism, religion and warfare, have generated album bans, delays, lawsuits and strong criticism from religious groups and the public.
Since their debut album in 1983, the band has released two live albums, one box set, six videos, two extended plays, and eleven studio albums, four of which have received gold certification in the United States. The band has received five Grammy nominations, winning two of them; one in 2007 for the song "Eyes of the Insane", and one in 2008 for the song "Final Six" (both from 2006's Christ Illusion). Slayer has played music festivals worldwide, including Unholy Alliance, Download, and Ozzfest. As of November 2011, Slayer has begun writing their next album.
