An absolute classic that holds up near perfectly over twenty years later, but if you're reading this you probably already know and agree.

So for fun gonna list some of my favorite Sam Lakeisms from this playthrough

"The cops arrived, sirens singing in the off-key harmony of a manic-depressive choir."

"Everything was subjective. There were only personal apocalypses. Nothing was cliché when it's happening to you."

"He had a baseball bat, and I was tied to a chair. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do."

"An urban legend come true. You complete the jigsaw puzzle to discover it is a picture of yourself, finishing that same puzzle. A mad, green-eyed killer behind you."

"When the darkness fell, New York City became something else, any old Sinatra song notwithstanding. Bad things happened in the night, on the streets of that other city. Noir York City."
