I see his face and I see Max Payne. Sam, if you ever see this, thank you for my childhood. Max Payne, to this day, has the best story in a video game I ever saw. I first played Max Payne when I was 12. I am 23 now. Thank you, honestly.
My dad played it in the early 2000's, in through the night while my mom was sleeping. He said it was a very good game. So a week ago i tried it out, it was very amazing! Merry christmas.

ruclips.net/video/DsQVD5ttpog/видео.htmlsi=inD5GTEbkVz2VOK4 James McCaffrey, the voice of Max Payne. Passed onto the otherside a week ago this Sunday. Although Sam Lake was the face，the voice was that of McCaffrey. May he Rest in PAYNE.
I love listening to him talk, and this time it was double interesting because I didn't understand a single word (thanks for the subtitles) he still talks interestingly. And it's also fun to see he speaks the same way in English as in his own language. I though he talks slower in English because he's searching for the right words or something, but no, that's just the way he talks. I wish there was a version of Max Payne where he actaully says Max's lines both in English and Finnish :)
I'm 35 now and played Max Payne just a littlebit later after it was released, but i've never hheard anything of it untul a friend showed it to me. Matrix had a huge impact on me and the first thing that hooked me was bullet time, of course. But the unique atmosphere, the dark vibe, voice of James and everything...oh man. It was special and something else, altogether in a great tps. Had two posters on my wall back in the day and played the first two episodes a thousand times. And I will. Good luck with the remake, I know, you won't disappoint us!
As an old Max Payne player, i wish for all of you and us, that Sami with Remedy will make remakes of first two Max Paynes, so they can be proudly added to the Museum collection :)
Question about Finnish: why does Sam say "ja" (ya) a lot. Is that the Finish version of someone looking for words "eerr..." in English, is that a common thing people do in Finnish or is that something just Sam does? I have never heard it before and think it is interesting.
I'm not sure if I'm right, but the word "ja" means "and" in Finnish. And let's be honest, Sam Lake sometimes has a cute stutter, which makes the use of the word even more frequent)
@@КарманныйБлоходав oh thank you, I did not know this. I looked into Finnish years ago because my brother studied there but it is a very hard language and nothing like Swedish or Danish.
@@КарманныйБлоходав I think he said in some interview that he was originally very shy and afraid of performing in public when he first started having to do speeches, presentations etc due to his work, so that and stuttering are probably related.
@@КарманныйБлоходавyou’d be right! I speak Finnish and we use it rather often, but of course it can also be due to what you said as they can coexist

@@Helvetinpartatera bro. Im 25 now. Still best game ever
@@rytisliaucys3444 I'm also 25 now and I played Max Payne the first time when I was 12.
I’d play a version of Max Payne where he talks in a Finnish accent

I think he actually speaks faster in his native language than in English, way faster. You can notice that precisely by listening to him here.
He speaks ENG super well but somehow his interviews in Finnish hit different as a fluent speaker!
I didn't get this in my feed.
I searched for this

Because of Sam, and my deep, boundless love of his writing and his games, I am now learning Finnish. I hope to visit Finland some day! Kiitos!

It is interesting how Ja, Ja fills the same lexical space as um and like in English.
Ja = and, so it kinda makes sense in English as well.
whoa max payne speaks finnish?!?!

His name sami jarvi why sam lake
jarvi is lake in Finnish, that's why he chose this as his pseudonym surname
sam lake is his artistname
It's a direct translation of his name
Haha why did i think his name was 'Lake' and not just a literal translation of it.
