Max Paine, ultra badass, has just uncovered a secret conspiracy that depicted his ultra badass life as a video game! Thus, he has traveled to a certain game company to find out...
It's YOU!
Yeah. I'm me. What the hell do you want?
Depicting *my* life in a video game... How dare you mock my asskicking ways! For this, you're going in the slammer, kid!
Oh, yeah. Nice impression. Fine, you want a personal look at our fine product, have at thee.
Five minute later...
... Wow. So, you can do that bullet time thingamajig *and* kickass at the same time? Gimme one... No, make that two... And maybe one for my badass car...
Five months later after the game company incident...
Yo, Max. Where the hell have you been?
Me? Ahh... I've been... Ah, UNDERCOVER! Yeah!
Right. We had two riots break out in the past month, a 12-car pileup and Mrs. Whaley's cat got stuck in a tree. Aren't you supposed to stop these things, Mr. Ultra Badass!
I'm afraid I'm much too busy. The world of crime awaits me! Armed with my AMD-K6 processor, NOTHING can stand in my way...
Processor... Wait, you got addicted to one of those kooky cop games again, didn't you?
Hey, look, don't make me go all bulletimey on your ass. I've got the skills!
Hey, kids. I'm Max Paine, ultra badass. You may be wondering why I haven't been an ultra badass as of late.
Despite my vast popularity, I have only been given two frames to work with. So, to simplify matters, I'm bringing a new object to the show: The pointy finger of death!
Yes, now you can see an act of God without being God! Look out world, the ultra badass is on the loose!
Umm... Sir? Can I have my fake nails back? I gotta show them to a friend.
And thus began a long, harsh journey for our hero... One that would bring suffering to anyone he met.
Hey, you know where I can get a burger 'round here?
AHHHH!
Cities emptied when his name was here.The name of "Pyroman Max" went around from those who witnessed his attacks... Yes, it would seem the Earth would die for one cop who wanted to be cool...
Until....
Hey, sir! Neo-Tokyo's been wiped out! Twice!
Not *AGAIN*! Dammit, Max is messing up my schedule again! He must PAY FOR HIS ACTIONS.
