25 Unforgettable Moments In Video Game Physics

24. Twisting A Full 360 Degrees While Dive-Shooting - Max Payne

From his name to his tactical approach, Max Payne's debut was anything but subtle. Who needed a crouch button when you could blast an entire room full of faces in one Matrix-dive? The closest thing to stealth in this series was NOT trigger pumping through the air in slow-motion, but most of us decided against that and went for the all-action approach.

23. Leaping From Agros' Back And Hanging On For Dear Life - Shadow Of The Colossus

Like Link before him, Shadow of the Colossus' Wander also depended on a loyal horse companion during his epic mission of murder. Unlike Epona, however, Agro's control systems granted players a wider range of combat and platforming functionality: you could stand on his saddle, ride him like a circus performer and even leverage Wander's jumping ability, a skill you were never formally taught, but one that became entirely necessary during latter boss fights.

22. Opening Crates Like A Scientist - Half-Life

Half-Life may not count as proper crowbar training, but splintered wood flying every which way entirely made up for that fact. RIP, every crate we saw.

Real Science Magazine called James' addiction to video games "sexually attractive." He also worked really hard and got really lucky in college and earned some awards for acting, improv and stand-up, but nobody cares about that out here in LA. So... He's starting over fresh, performing when He can. His profile picture features James as Serbian, vampire comic Dorde Mehailo with His anonymous Brother and Uncle at the Nerdmelt Showroom in West Hollywood. In James' spare time, he engages in acting, writing, athletics, hydration, hours of great pondering and generally wishing you'd like him.
