Max Payne

well....i have played it for the past couple of days...its cool...but not as great as anticipated....any ideas??

"any ideas??"

Sure, but only one is really applicable here.

Take your SD2 protected original Max Payne disk, and turn it so the recorded side is face up. Set it inside your 1000 Watt microwave, hit the 'quick-minute' button, and after 3 sec. has elapsed, turn off the microwave.

You now have a rather nifty coaster, or a decorative to hang from you rear view mirror.

Well. Solved that problem.

I have it, and have played maybe 1/2 through it. The bullet time, and the 'follow through' with the bullets/victim is neat. Matrix was a good influence.

It's REALLY violent. I don't like the 'plot' all that much. But, that's what people like nowadays...........
Don't misunderstand me. I'm not saying do away with violent games. I'm just saying I don't enjoy it as much as some people.

Overall, It's definately worth playing once. And if you like it, play it again .

Yep. Deus Ex rules. I've only played halfway through that one too....

Dunno about DE2. Maybe early next year, Feburary?

im in agreement w/your sig..... i just bought a zakk wylde bullseye custom les paul. no lyrics needed.

...and i would have gotten away with it, if it weren't for you meddling kids...

The "plot" is a joke, its poorly written (when Im making fun of film noirs I talk like that), the bullet time feature is cool, but gets borring really fast, the AI is a joke, they simply spawn when you enter a room and try to kill you, much like Serious Sam in that respect...
I could go on but...
It took me a weekend to beat, Im ashamed that I was so hyped about it.

I no longer wish to belong to the kind of club that accepts people like me as members - Groucho Marx

Yep. I fell in love with guitars once I saw and played the Les Pauls. I'd messed around with them before, but never really loved them. What do you use for amplification? I'd like to get a Marshall or Gibson Goldtone amp, but $$$ and being a student don't really mix. I'm just playing through my SB Live! and out to my tower speakers that are hooked up to my stereo amp right now. It works really well actually.

I plug into the line in on my SB Live MP3+ 5.1. I get awesome distortion and reverb (and a million other effects) by using the EAX presets on the Live. It's all in the creative Launcher, then EAX presets, then you can add about 5 different kinds of distortion, 50 reverb presets, wah effects, echos, chorus effects, flanging effects. It's cool.

I just record some very simple licks with the creative recorder and edit them with wave studio. It works well enough for me.

Make sure it's in the line in, and then go to the creative launcher (usually at the top of your desktop), and find the surround mixer dialogue. Make sure that the line in in the mixer is selected as on, and that the volume is up (80% or more).
