Max Payne & School

[The Baskinator]

Today in my English literature class I interjected facts about Norse mythos that I remembered with the help of Max Payne. (Stuff about Valhallah and spending eternity feasting and fighting.) It got a good reaction from my professor. I found that amusing.

Anybody that says video games aren't educational is a rotten liar. images/icons/grin.gif

Did you tell them where the remarks/references were from? images/icons/wink.gif

[The Baskinator]

Nope, even though Dr. Chamberlain (my professor) knows I love video games. I'll just let them think I know a lot about Norse mythos. images/icons/wink.gif
