"Although it is the result of extensive travels and research in five cities (...) it could just as easily pass as the pictorial record of a dérive through a single, imaginary city: a city without a center, populated by extraordinary and at times implausible architectural artefacts; an urban laboratory"
apparently the Steam-version of Rockstar’s Max Payne 2 incorporates the No-CD crack of the now-defunct Myth group. Or, at least, that’s the only feasible explanation of why the group’s ASCII logo appears when nosing at the executable in a hex editor.
