Max Payne trivia #5

[MikaRMD]

Armed with a bunch of (hopefully) more challenging questions, he with trembling and insecure voice pulls out the next question...

"Something wicked this way comes." Max borrows this line from a famous play. Which play?

[Fraeon Waser Duhni]

Tough one. My guess...Macbeth.

[Wamplet]

i just heard him say that line last night! (good thing for me, it wasn't another addict that said that) images/icons/grin.gif images/icons/blush.gif

It's from Hamlet.

Second Witch: By the pricking of my thumbs,
Something wicked this way comes.
Open, locks, whoever knocks!

Enter Macbeth

Macbeth: How are you gentlemen !!
All your base are belong to us.
You are on the way to destruction.

Teehehehehehe! images/icons/wink.gif

DOH!! That's right... forgot about that. Got the two plays confused. I read them in french and I only read Mac Beth once. My mistake.

Max Payne II should seriously have a Doctor Faustus quote of some kind. I only have one memorized that isn't Latin, though.

How! Bell, book, and candle; candle, book, and bell,
Forward and backward, to curse Faustus to hell.

.... Oh, Christopher Marlowe! *drools*

Any book that allows for a visual interpretation involving gratuitous vomit, gratuitous gore, gratuitous sock puppets, and gratuitous..uhh..gratuity gets a http://forums.3drealms.com/ubb/icons/icon107.gif in my book!

Ooh, they could have a Duke Nukem style reference/parody in MP:2! Think of the ensuing hilarity of Max walking into an antiquated library, seeing limbs having been torn asunder by the hand of death and various Satanic symbols, then uttering something like "Seeing something like this would be able to turn the stomach of your average Joe a couple of times, but to me, it was just the Fausting on the cake."

Fraeon-Waser-Duhni wins a handful of glory. (Care to explain your name???)
Congratulations!

And who says playing computer games is not educational? Now you can go and quote Shakespeare and impress the h*** out of your friends, family and business acquintances. Just remember to choose a fitting situation... images/icons/smile.gif
