Apex Legends launched in 2019 from Respawn Entertainment, and Octane was added shortly after as its first post-launch Legend. Designed as a speed-obsessed daredevil who lost his legs setting a gauntlet record, the character is built around his Stim ability and constant need to move faster. His short voice lines were clipped from matches and shared across gaming videos, Discord servers and soundboards, where this quote became shorthand for reckless speed. It remains popular because it captures Octane's entire personality in a single, instantly recognisable burst.
