The Sequel Published October 18, 2003

Max Payne 2 freakin’ rocks! I can’t believe it. Right from the very beginning we have a great plotline going, and the same little things that made the original game fun are still there. It’s even more like a movie than ever, and the music is haunting. It ties in closely with the first game and even brings you back to a few locations. I’ve only had time to play for a little bit, but it’s worth it.

Get it Right Published October 7, 2003

I cruised the net today for about an hour looking for the actual quote that Arnold Schwarzenegger made in a 1975 issue of “Pumping Iron” in which he says he admred Hitler.

Sick Published September 26, 2003

I’m getting tired of this. I’ve been having problems with my sinuses for almost four weeks because of the ragweed. Now I think I’m getting a cold on top of it, because I’m much more tired now and I had a slight fever last night. Work is hell when you constantly have to blow your nose or get out for a walk. I swear it’s something at work, as others are having difficulties as well.
