Is that a Sex Toy in My Video Game?

I recently wrote about Max Payne 2, a great-looking game that tells the story of a police detective seeking redemption in a mixed-up, muddled-up, shook-up world of wrongful accusations and AK-47s. Just yesterday, I was playing it and made a peculiar discovery.

Max was running from a bunch of gun-toting hoodlums, and runs into a middle-aged woman’s apartment. She looks a bit haggard. I’m just passing through, but I check out the bathroom to see if there are any narcotics kicking around (painkillers are this game’s health boosters). I’m about to leave when I spot something behind the washing machine. It’s long, narrow and a strange flourescent green colour. I may have a dirty mind, but I think its shape is unmistakable. See for yourself–safe-for-work screenshots after the jump.

The game is full of subtle jokes like this. Another one is a series of recurring TV shows that you can hear whenever you pass a TV set. One of them is a satirical take on the game itself–admirably post-modern.


She seems quite unhappy. But, then, there’s just been a shootout in the hallway.


A spacious but unassuming bathroom.


I mean, what else could it be? It sure ain’t shells for the shotgun.

That’s hilarious! If only more programmers took the time to put little things like this into games. It makes it fun to find hidden things like this.

Actually, I’m wondering if it’s a condom, not a thingy dingy. Hence the reason it’s behind the toilet.

i’ve seen a friend of mine (who’s a raver) wear fluorescent green socks. the knee-high ones are fun to wear, especially in places with a lot of black light activity.

or maybe they’re just really neon green socks. hee.

i also noticed that the lady’s left hand is in between her legs(?). i might as well say this since we’re on the subject of fluorescent green thingy dingies.

I think a couple has been exploring the erotic benefits of the spin cycle, and that’s a used condom.

Either way, you’re linked from fleshbot. That’s gotta be a first.

It isn’t behind the toilet! That is a washing machine!

Absolutely right - it is NOT a toilet as I had posted. My bad. I quickly assumed it was a toilet because I didn’t expect a washing machine to be in the bathroom (even though my washing machine is in my bathroom).

Even at that I’m sticking with my condom theory.

As a side note, the most interesting thing is the choice of ads that Google has selected for this page. Nice work. Definitely worth $108 - $135 per share.

I agree that it looks more like a condom. A disturbingly stiff condom…
