 The
winning entry is #1 in the list below - it was too large to put next
to the photo here.
Some
of the others (in no particular order):
-
"As I pack the few final copies of max
payne in the bland, cold cardboard they paynefully call package
material, this is only an exclamation mark of everything that has
lead up to this point; I suddenly realise the shirt I wear as dark
as the unforgiving night, hasn't been washed or ironed in a hot
summer's week. They know i've been on the drug, the intense mind
knumbing frenzy I can't shake, The addiction they call.. Max
Payne. As I think of the new drug i'm releasing to the gaming
community, I wonder if Max Payne will grace me with his presence
in a pale moonlight and end my payneful existence. My cap covers
the morning dew on my hair, for the hairdresser is a long winding
tunnel away when you're playing Max Payne. I think of sliding left
in my chair. Hard, winding, pretending... to be in bullet time.
Maybe I can dissapear, maybe I can hide, maybe I can be like Max
Payne... A fugitive on the run" (Peter Koevari)
-
"This is how happy Joe is when he
doesn't have to read all the crap on in the 3DR forums" (Ryan
Raner)
-
"In the box, close the box, In the
box, close the box...Wahhh, a feeling has come over me, that man
in the blue and white striped shirt has the most spectacular
manboobs." (Ryan Randolph)
-
After packing Max Payne orders for 12
hours straight, Joe Siegler grabs a box and leads the office in a
chorus of "I don't want to work, I just want to bang on the drum
all day" (Chris Gump)
-
"Nah I'm not a Cubs fan I wear the C
cause C is for cookie an that's good enough for me" (Joey Purnell)
-
"(Joe:) I just had a great idea!
Here's the plan: We pack these brown boxes with "When it's Done!"
stickers and send them out to our loyal fans. I'm sure they'll get
a kick out of that, won't they?" (Jonah Bishop)
-
After 20 cups of coffee Joe suddenly
comes to the realization that he is ready to pose as the Valkir
Druggie model. (Bob Englehart)
-
"Uh oh, there's a typo on the box.
We'll hafta ship these back to Canada and get them fixed." (Jake
Vinson)
-
Monica Lewinsky's employment as
packaging morale officer helped Max Payne obtain a much earlier
release than expected. (Chris O'Connor)
-
"If I had a nickel for every box I
packed correctly, I'd be broke." (Cameron Clark)
-
"The smell of all these limited
edition mouse pads are getting to me, I'm seeing vapor trails."
(Anthony Kunarski)
-
"Worst... packing job... ever." (Ben
Harrison)
-
Joe Sielger has suddenly woken up from
a long dream and finds himself blissfully in a world where no one
asks a release date and the forums are full of peaceful
discussions. Only this world lacks TiVo. Perhaps he hasn't woken
up from a nightmare after all... (Cameron Orr)
-
"Sure, sweat shops are cheap. But you
can't deny the charm of some guy in a cubs hat boxing our game,
either. He even makes monkey sounds from time to time." (Jesse
Hoffman)
-
Establishing vulcan mind-meld with Max
Payne shipping box..."I am becoming as one with the shipping
box...I can hear it--I can feel it! I can feel it crying out for
assurances of saftey... can't bear thought.. can't bear thought of
being discarded in trash can after being ripped to shreds...
senses fading...NO!!!" (Steve Amren)
And yes, more Xenophage submissions:
-
Joe: Waa? Xenophage shipped? A long time
ago? I thought that was what we're shipping now!" (Zeus Lilge)
-
"We have secretly replaced everyone copy
of Max Payne with Xenophage... Lets see if they notice!" (Ben
Hamilton)
In reality, this
is Joe Siegler packing up Max Payne orders the day we shipped Max.
