bah

Yeah, hi all. So, Marathon II fun yes? Fun YES! Having fun, killing, found shotgun, did some killing. Twas 6000 feet under the surface of something. Had to swim through lava I did I did. Big ugly guys, hard to kill. Shutgun work good though. Bang.... Bang.... Bang. They die. Hard level, tricky it was. very tricky. Don't like to swim through lava. Worked though. Worked fine. Fine and dandy.

Getting aggrivated I was. Very aggrivating this level. Damn Durandal. AI no fun. Durandal make life too easy yet hard. No fun sometimes. But If I Had A Rocket Launcher, I'd Make Someone Pay. Make them pay dearly. Hey, what this? Another shotgun? Send me into infinite baddies place? Lots of ammo? No more Bang... Bang... Bang? Now it's Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang! Fun, super, awesome! Super fun fantastico! Durandal make life fun again! Uh oh, too many boomers. They come up and they explodes. All in green. Stupid boomers. They like the Flood, but in disguise. Uh oh, too many baddies. Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang click click. Uh oh, switch to fusion power pistol! Die die die. Fun fun fun!

So many, hardly hold off. If only I had a rocket launcher... Hey, what's that?! Speak of the devil.

This message brought to you by an overly excited Rip-Saw. If you have no idea why he's all crazy with happiness, you have not yet experienced the near invincible feeling two "magic" shotguns give you. Go play Marathon II right now. End of message. http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=268547

Yeah, so this game is way more fun that Marathon, but still no Halo. Definitely the best computer game I've played (other than Halo). So thanks goweb, for pointing out M2.

That was pure marketing genius Rip Saw. If only you had a penny
every time somebody downloaded M2....well, you could probably
get a burger or something. Anyway, I never got it to work on my
comp, and your post made me try again. We'll see if I have any
luck.

bah

If you have Win XP, you might try running Marathon 2 in compatibility mode. Right click the game, go to properties, then compatibility. Select 98 or 95 compatibility. Sometimes this helps run really old games. My computer runs it fine, although I do tend to keep it updated even though it's not a great computer.

I had a feeling you'd like If I Had a Rocket Launcher, I'd Make Someone Pay, Rip. :) One of the classic moments in gaming. Though I'm not sure why you apparently used the fusion pistol. It's much more satisfying to take out the exploda-bobs and troopers with your double shotguns. Durandal will keep your ammo topped up. Sure, you'll die, but you pretty much go right back into the carnage room. The first time I played that, I found myself dying on purpose, just so I could do it again. :)

Just a question, have you finished the game? Because the last level is a pearler. :)

So uh . . . there I was, sick in bed, with my trusty wireless labtop on my stomach . . . and I decided to load up Myth v1.5 which lets me load it in OS X . . . and i got back onto MP and won 8 out of the 9 games i played . . . greatest . . . game . . . ever. I'm still trying to find a better LAN game that beats Myth. Or WAN game for that matter. (marathon is close though).

Well, you should. Its easy. And Free. It'll hold you over till Halo 2.

Ach! Was ist los?

Funny. I've had the Windows version of M2 for years, but I never played it much until I got AlephOne, since M2/Win95 doesn't let you use Shift as your 'Look' key.

*Fires up AlephOne and beams into "If I Had A Rocket Launcher"...*

"All right you primitive d00m-heads, listen up! You see these? These.. Are my BOOM-STICKS!"

*Blows away several D00M fans.*

"Now, let's talk about shooting down giant flying-tank-things..."

Yeah... those were the days, although I was never sure how he loaded those shotguns, as he simply spun them around all slick style, but hey, thats what made it so much more ultracool. L'hwon is a beautiful planet, I miss the sound of the loons crying in the distance, that orange haze hanging in the sky. Beautfiul, no matter how much the graphics suck now, it's still just as beautiful. !!!
