The OG Max Payne? Yep, that's him. Sam Lake is the head of Remedy as the man responsible for the weirdness and cool stories/settings. He played Max in 1 because they couldn't afford an actor, but stepped down for the others. He always pops up in their games, especially Wake 2. That face of his is so weird

I remember listening to Muse while playing the game and it was a perfect combination. Great game.
Absolutely great times when that came out.
I would have guessed Catatonia or Busted knowing you.
I was playing all the Muse experiences on Synth Riders PSVR2 last night. That is how all Muse tracks should now be enjoyed I reckon, perfect vehicle for them. Love me a bit of Muse
Actually Lambs, Busted came to fame in late 2002. Max Payne was released in 2001.Oh Sky, my poor boy, I just knew you'd know that without googling
On another subject, I've been watching my boy do some Valheim with mods. There's some excellent rebalancing/combat and building mods out there, the game also looks a lot smoother lately. Might be getting near that time where the boat races could actually happen properly
Oh really…? Just booted this back up; will have to look into some mods.On another subject, I've been watching my boy do some Valheim with mods.

Yes mate, there's loads but some of the good ones add skills to help the stamina, better weapons with damage effects, better enemy balance and all sorts. The sort of stuff that the game should have as standard by now to be honest. But it's definitely looking and running smoother, I'm watching him now and it's finally acceptable to build and mess with the floor in terms of fps it seems.
Ha, watching Boxyfresh as we…speak. Still good background noise.
Same. His relationship with chat is great, I love trying to make him do that thing where he turns his head away and you can see him trying to process something.Is it anywhere that can be watched? That was such a game changer. I had it on PC first but still remember when I got that on PS1. Nicking my Mum and Dads TV and making my bedroom a Doom death match den.Just been watching Romero and Carmack on a live stream talking about Doom's 30th.
Won't mean a jot to anyone on here, but that is a huge moment having those 2 back together with such great talk about game development and how that game made 3D and what is possible a thing. Also, you can find out what Doom can run on...including fancy toasters and pregnancy tests
Any talk of a Daikatana sequel?Just been watching Romero and Carmack on a live stream talking about Doom's 30th.

AC Mirage if you haven't played it is decent, should be cheap too now
Yeah, pretty much my experience with it too. I really liked it ... at first but then realised it was a sad wasted opportunity because it could have been brilliant.
I liked whatever I played of it but I keep playing other stuff instead. I will go back to it but there’s definitely something missing beyond the levelling. It’s an odd game where the core loop feels really great and it’s designed excellently but the rest of the systems - sense of progression, side quests, item / upgrades and narrative just seem really half baked. The map is possibly the worst I’ve seen in any game.
The amount of effort that went into this must've been insane.I've watched a few of these type things, I am like "this is stupid" but then can't stop watching and reading about it.I watched this whopping 3 hour and 50 minute investigation on Billy Mitchell last weekend:
I know it's all pretty meaningless stuff, but I found it truly fascinating. It takes pretty much the entire first hour to explain all the technical details about the frame drawing, CRT stuff, how the camera affects it, etc. The sort of stuff one either finds incredibly boring or super interesting.
he's a proper cheat and a weird bugger all round.One of my favourite games. Would definitely play it before BG3 as BG3 might make it feel far less accessible.
Is the writing genuinely excellent? I'm also thinking playing this first is a good way to set me up for BG3 (probably a couple of years later!). I wish they had a PS5 uprade for 60FPS but it shouldn't impact a game like this so much. Just wary of the turn-based combat as that has burnt me many a time.
Did you play the first one as well? If so, how much of an improvement is it? That's the only thing holding me back from trying DOS 2, that I didn't really like the first one.
I didn’t and wasn’t a big fan. The second is a lot more accessible.
You have a ps5 dont you?Keen to try out new pc when it arrives so what are some games I should be picking up in the Steam sale?
It's very combat focussed. It's a decent game if you love the genre and the combat itself is fun until you burn out.
