Because I wanted a simple video of Sinistar's words of awesome without anything added to it. Looking at the view count it looks like I'm not alone. :D
Thought I'd update the video description with some slight information. This is Sinistar, from a 1982 arcade game of the same name. The game was developed by Williams Electronics, namely by Noah Falstein and John Newcomer. The objective is to destroy the title character as he chases you through space.
While some are under the mistaken impression that it is the first game to feature voices (although many credit it for being the first to use voices as successfully as it did), it was the first to use stereo sound (only in the sit-down arcade cabinets). Sinistar's voice is provided by late radio personality John Doremus. An inside joke within the development team is that "Run, Coward!" sounded like "Ron Howard", which led them to dub the game "Opie-star".
If one wishes to play the game, I wound definitely consider MAME. It can also be found on compliations such as Midway Arcade Treasures 1 for the PS2, XBox, Gamecube and PC. A while back it could be played online for free on Midway's website, used as a tech demo to demonstrate the capability of Macromedia Shockwave with an impressive port. But with Warner Bros.' acquisition of Midway Games (from the latter's bankruptcy), it appears to have gone offline.
"I am Sinistar!
Beware, I live!
Run, Run, Run!
Beware, Coward!
Run, Coward!
RAWWWAAAARRRGGGGHHH!
I hunger!"
The wisdom, the magic, the inspiration, the mystery, and the philosophical rants by none other than the deadliest force in the galaxy, SINISTAR. He hungers for his burrito. I know "I hunger, Coward!" is missing, but it's something. Now try going to your job and saying what he does to everyone. You can't. The fact that Sinistar can means he rules you. And almost 30 years later his scream still gives people the chills.
