Happy Birthday Max Payne! - Page 3

Happy birthday Max, keep on shoot dodgin'.

Chimera · 07-26-2006, 02:23 PM

5 years already, I can't believe it.

Happy birthday Max!

edit: it's the reason I joined this forum too!

Joe Siegler · 07-26-2006, 02:36 PM

I just got done printing all the address labels for the foreign shipments.

Now to work on the domestic ones.

Ivan · 07-26-2006, 02:51 PM

Well I have my copy already anyways.

Happy Birthday Max, best game character ever.

That's a nice picture Mariamus did, as always.

Micki! · 07-26-2006, 03:25 PM

When i could have my copy signed, i would love to have Joe, drawing a Lock on it, somewhere on the back, or one the manual (or inside it)

That would be fun...
I'm not refering to anything with the lock, but i admit i must think of it often, when thinking of Joe, because he uses to have that "lock" image everytime a thread gets locked...

I find that image a little funny, and i come to associate it with Joe at times...

No offense, please don't ban me...

CosmicD · 07-26-2006, 03:45 PM

Yeah, happy birthday to some of the most filmishly told story experiences, and the game is really looking neat on my geforce 7800gs, with all detailf rull on 1280x1024. (you just miss the volumetric lighting a bit i think)....

anyway, I've grabbed the demo again and now I want to play the entire game (I have both copies of max payne 1 and 2... but come to think of it I think 1 is the best)

Bryan3DR · 07-26-2006, 04:52 PM

Well the US packages are packed up, now to get the others, and get them to the post office.

Theseus314 · 07-26-2006, 05:01 PM

So, when do we get a third game, or is it sunk in some kind of a canal or something?

Kristian Joensen · 07-26-2006, 05:07 PM

You are gonna have to ask Take Two about that.

Dr. Kill · 07-26-2006, 09:49 PM

Max Payne kicks ass. I first had the PS2 version

, then I got the XBox version, but the PC version is the best. Got it for $7 at EBGames. Runs ok on my pc, but great on my friend's.

ZaphodB · 07-27-2006, 01:51 AM

Just a question/note for the 50 of us that won, did you d/l the patch for the game yet? When I found out I had won, it's one of the first things I did, so when I install, I'll have it patched up-to-date as a "just-in-case" measure. (assuming it needs it)

DavoX · 07-27-2006, 02:10 AM

Well i guess im the first to say this...:

If only duke nukem had this kinda birthday

wow thanks for reminding me, that patch is vital to playing the game on Windows XP

zwieback · 07-27-2006, 07:35 AM

i still remember PC GAMES (the german gaming magazine)

they wrote after they have seen max payne screenshots the first time, that it is not possible that a character looks so realistic and that they are propably fake

Yeah, before they head over to the post office, we'll get a picture of the stack.

It's quite odd doing this again, as it's definitely evoked memories of this.

hiob · 07-27-2006, 08:37 AM

i like the wall of Payne

ZaphodB · 07-27-2006, 08:47 AM

Wow! That was AWESOME! Y'all musta felt like hell after getting the next shipment in! Did y'all get to go home early that day after all that night's work?

Samji · 07-27-2006, 09:34 AM

Nice, their in cardboard boxes too.
The old copy I had was in a plastic DVD-style case.

07-27-2006, 10:37 AM

Only five years!!! Happy B-day Max Payne! If not for this game I would not be working in the game industry.

I have the fondest memories of mapping/modding for Max Payne. I still crack open MaxEd every now and then just to get nostalgic.

Time flies!

YicklePigeon · 07-27-2006, 12:21 PM

I'll be so happy when my copy arrives...I won't even throw away the packaging material!

Regards,

Yickle.

Joe Siegler · 07-27-2006, 03:07 PM

All the foreign orders are now packed up, so all of them are ready to go.

They're heading over to the post office tomorrow. As I forgot my camera again, I'll ahve to take pics tomorrow morning.

Can't wait for it... Just watch it, that when you sign it that it's not all over Duke's Face...

Lady Lee · 07-27-2006, 06:55 PM

*LoL*
I was totally playing Max Payne all day!

I have both the PC version and the PS2 version.

I LOVE this game!

It doesn't even seem like it's been 5 years.
Such an AMAZING game!

Hey now, What goes on with the MousePads STAYS with the mousepads.

ZaphodB · 07-28-2006, 11:05 AM

Did you remember your camera?

Joe Siegler · 07-28-2006, 11:41 AM

Yes I did. The ones in the foreground are the foreign orders. The ones towards the back are all the US ones. Probably will take some more once they're on their way to the Post office.

ZaphodB · 07-28-2006, 11:49 AM

AWESOME! You-Da-Man! (and all other cliché sayings meaning thanks you're the best)

hiob · 07-28-2006, 12:03 PM

nice, man i can´t wait till it´s here

Joe Siegler · 07-28-2006, 12:53 PM

Well, they're now on a flatbed to be taken out to a truck.

hiob · 07-28-2006, 12:58 PM

ohh, don´t be sad Joe, they are 5 years old now, it´s about time they leave home and make new experiences

thanks for the photos Joe

alexgk · 07-28-2006, 01:16 PM

Nice, really want to play it soon

.

Joe Siegler · 07-28-2006, 01:17 PM

OK, they're out the door. About 5 minutes ago the truck that was loaded up with the 100 free Max Payne copies left for the Post Office. I'm sure the folks at the post office will LOVE that.

The last pic really reminds me of five years ago because of this.

ZaphodB · 07-28-2006, 01:29 PM

I can't wait. The mail can't get it here soon enough. This is the most excited I've been about getting something in the mail for quite some time.

Yatta · 07-28-2006, 01:31 PM

It's really cool of you guys to be using your time to do this for free, not to mention the costs of mailing them around the world.

Yeah, I think in all we sent out 106 copies - we had a couple that came in at exactly the same time as "#50" in each of the two contests, so we let 'em slide.

I don't know the actual postage cost, but it's gotta be at least $500, as it costs about $5 to send one of the boxes via US Priority Mail, and it's more for foreign, so it's a few bucks - yeah. But we're happy to do it. Was a nice spur of the moment fun thing to do.

The original idea was George's - so he deserves the original credit for the idea.

This is the first time I won something...seriously. This contest really made me happy

. I've never played Max Payne before, so this is the perfect chance to do it (and make some maps in the process). Thanks George and everybody involved in this.
