"Ling-Ling
Dog's head in a jar. Has mystical significance. But it's too nasty to think about. Especially if you think about opening the jar, and drinking the head-water down in one mighty draft. DANGER! Do not juxtapose Tijuana Mama with Ling Ling! When the jar containing Ling Ling finally breaks, as it must, Bungie will make a sequel to Gnop!"
They said it themselves! They'll make Gnop 2! (eventually) Woot!
Oh, and the webmaster had this to say about making more marathons (credit to H. Sinclair for pointing this out)
Imagine a painting of a horse, a marvellous white stallion. This stallion happens to be lying in a crumpled heap on the ground, dead. And Bungie employees are standing around it in a semicircle, beating the horse with various blunt objects. The painting is titled "Marathon 4."
Well, okay, that's overstating things. We're very proud of the Marathon series, but it's not the only thing we can do. Rather than getting into a rut and spitting out a new Marathon game every year, we're going to try some new stuff. Some gut-wrenchingly cool new stuff. Stand back and prepare to be amazed.
Now granted this was 1996, and the webmaster also said some things directed towards Seattle (back when they worked in Chicago) that i'm sure he has since changed his mind on, but just thought you guys would like to see that quote, and bungie's position on overdoing sequels when there is so much else to be done! ;)
