if it's a rip off of anything it's from the original creators of the vector video style back in '96 - '97 posted on the flashpad when they did a short story in black and white and had someone with a gun.
and the matrix...
sad.. I was aiming for the matrix... and now i find max payne has used the same type of thing, like countless other vector video sites. I can't load the maxpayne site, but i can see from the preview panes that it's going to be very similar. Don't worry, I mean obviously they're similar but it's totally unintentional, they're relatively standard techniques, the max payne people pretty much would have been inspired by the same people I was.
there is nothing new in the world. And even though i could probably find a dozen other similar ones that mine and maxpayne could be accused of "copying" I thought I had a pretty unique looking site.. obviously not.

im not saying its a bad design... i think its better that all the 'cool blue' desings with the shiny shit... they all look the same...its different and creative, and even more creative if you hadnt seen max payne... to me its a bite off of it... but your description gives me a different perspective of it...
