Well, this is my first post in a long while. I use to be registered, back in the days before MP was released. It is good to be back.

The boards seem to be pretty much the same as before. Ahhh... Teh old days. I first came to thesde forums when PC Gamer first released those screens back in 1998(I think August?).

I see a few of you are still here. I remember RollingBrass and bixen. I remember the name Quender, but I didn't see any posts by him recently.

Well, I figured since most of you guys don't know me, I'd share some of the good memories from the old days.

The boards didn't have very many frequent posters, if i remember. It really started to heat up when Max Payne was a few monthsto release. I think that is when the "What about Moving?" post came up.

I remember that in one of the many threads, someone ended up calling Skavena name. I think it was Skabies. Somebody looked it up and it meant crabs (not the beach kind). I'm sure at least Skaven will remember that one.

I also remember thinking that bixen was a guy for a long time. !Sorry! I also remember her getting in trouble for the PCG scans you put up around e3 2000.

By the way, is anybody still here from the old days? (I'm talking way before MP went gold).

Well, I can bet that once Max Payne 2 gets in to a few mags, more noobs will come in and inevitably get flamed (unless of course this board has matured since my absence)

Ya. That's my first post under the new nick.

I also think that Max Payne 2 should be called:

The Fall of Max Payne:
Max Payne 2

not the other way around. it sounds too repetetive. I heard that Take2 has the authority of deciding the title.

It is good to be back.

Post if you have some of this forums good times to talk about.

Also , who is The Baskinator? I don't remember her/him (sorry bixen) when I was here before. He/she seems to be the forum god from what I've read so far. Joe promising her a part in MP2 (i hope he was bieng sarcastic.)

One last memory: I remember one of the forum moderators (Skaven, Joe maybe even George Broussard) posting a pic of their desktop with the Start menu open to Max Payne. It was before MP was released, and made the wait (4years) a little more unbearably. (NHF of course)

Well, welcome back, KillJoy.
It's really nice to get old visitors back. You outdate myself, as I started reading the forums in 2000.

I am sure that there is an inside joke there, but look out for biXen...HE'll kick you in the nuts... images/icons/smile.gif

Yes, I remember the start menu screenshot. It was Joe's doings...He's really good at torturing people... images/icons/wink.gif

KillJoy, what was your old nick?

Yah, one of teh noobs that came in around mp's going gold made that joke. I hope Bixy will reply to this one.

Well, I think my old nick was Mr. Payne or something, but I have since switched e-mail addresses, and couldn't find out.

It is kind of hard to argue who is the biggest fan. The most crazy fan... that is much easier and more interesting debate images/icons/rolleyes.gif

Hey, keep bumping this thread until bixen posts. I want her to see it.

Hey shadow_ninja, you must have a hefty disposable income to buy 3dsmax and an addon. I have an older version of 3Ds, I talked it out of a guy for fifty bucks(Garage Sale). He did not know what he had. How much are the upgrades by the way?

I have been around for at least two years, just never went farther than the MP Modding board until a few months ago images/icons/tongue.gif

This joke is humorous and all, but that comment insults my love of video games. It stings.

It would be exactly the same. I enjoyed Max Payne as a game, completely removing my penchant for the lead's aesthetics. And not to mention the fact that I admire Mr. Järvi as an incredible writer.

Everyone focuses on Basky for two reasons: one, she is female (hey, it's true that this makes a difference in here), and two, she is intelligent. She, by her personality, knowledge, enthusiasm, and gender (for better or for worse) has become the most 'visible' member of these forums. There are too few women out there who can appreciate the subtleties of the gaming industry without writing the whole thing off as 'for boys'.

I got my girlfriend to play Max the other day, and now she loads it up and plays when I'm not looking, sneaking in what time at it she can get, always with a fanatical grin on her face.

She used to play Tetris.

ROFL

Who gave you the impression that I'm a chick? I was in Bulgaria at the time, and just noticed this topic, really cracked me up images/icons/tongue.gif As far as I know I'm male, if you want proof... well... You can ask someone images/icons/smile.gif

Welcome back anyway, it's been a while then. And the thing about the scans is true, won't be doing that again anytime soon images/icons/smile.gif
