Yesternight I was showing Mons a demo of Max Payne, the opening cut-scenes and the prologue, and I suddenly realized it’s been quite sometime since I completed that game. So after dropping her home, I sat down to play it again. It’s FUN! I had forgotten most of the details, and I found that it’s quite hilarious at times, like when the goons run away and I can hear them talking down the corridor –
Goon#1: “Hey, it’s Payne. Go and shoot him.”
Goon#2: “Why don’t you go and shoot him?”
Goon#3: “Let’s all go shoot him.”
Or a TV show, which is playing a French medieval love-story.
Dashing Guy:”Oh, my love, do not leave me. I have come to take you far away with me”
Harried female: “No, my lord, I have to tell you something.”
(Kissing sound)
Harried female: “No, my lord, this is not right.”
Dashing guy: “Why, oh, why?”
Harried female: “My lord, I …I am your sister”
Heh heh. Though not as fun as the NOLF conversation about the monkey.
A list of games I have to play. Most of them (‘*’)I already have ( as in, possess), but laziness, and till late, a lack of proper hardware stopped me from playing these. I have completed a few levels of nearly every game I have.
1. Clive Barker’s Undying.*
2. No One Lives Forever 1*&2
3. Enter The Matrix.*
5. Nocturne.*
6. GTA3*
5. Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness.*
6. Postal 2.*
7. Batman: Vengeance.*
8. Black and White.*
9. Escape from Monkey Island.*
10. Age of Mythology.*
11. Half Life 2 (when it comes out)
12. Serious Sam 1 and 2.
13. Unreal 2003/Unreal Tournament 2003
14. Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
15. Baldur’s Gate II*
Hmmm. I need time. I need to be less lazy. And I need to take better care of my eyes.
Black and White is SO awesome. I love that game.
Heh. I am installing it today, then.
Heh heh! I remember the TV scene – it was running on the lobby of a seedy hotel where Max gets trapped, right? Man, I love that game!
But three games on your list I did not like playing were Black and White, Undying and RTCW – the storyline of RTCW was too repetitive and uninteresting, and the whole environment was too gloomy and dark. Moreover, though there was a lot of variety in the weaponary, there seemed to be little difference between them in terms of innovation and impact. On the whole, I found it to be a major disappointment!
Funny! I have heard a lot of raves about B&W…dunno why you say so. Undying: I have played a few levels, yeah, I liked it a lot – a friend of mine got me the game and he admitted to being scared playing it alone at night. RTCW: Hmmm, I was hoping for a game that lets me burn zombies and watch their flaming bodies run around screaming. That’s all I expect from the game. :-P
I need to be less lazy. And I need to take better care of my eyes.
Oh no, beatzo.. more resolutions????
Nope. Just friendly reminders to myself. :-P
The monkey conversation was hilarious in NOLF !
Thats a nice list. Very similar to mine. Though I am pretty sure I have no chance of ever completing any of them !

You bet! Since yesterday, I have been trying to find a transcript of the conversation online. Haven’t succeeded so far.
About the list, I am pretty confident about playing all of them. at least the first couple of levels. Whether I complete them or not depends entirely on my patience. :-)
Hey! Don’t forget to add “Giants: Citizen Kabuto” to the top of your list. Trust me, you’ll fall in love with that game!
Aaah! one of my juniors has the game. And also Thief 2. Thanks for the reminder. :-)
