I never meant a humpday challenge, although that certainly would be a great idea.
What I meant was that we would make like an 'introduction' article, where members that come to this site for Halo would learn about the Marathon trilogy, why it's awesome, and stuff like that. We then would provide links to specially-made guides in the forums for installing and trouble shooting and stuff like that.
Since it would be on the front page in the top stories box for a couple of days, lots of people would read and get the Marathon trilogy. Then, finding they love it, they would continue playing it. Voila, the rebirth of the Marathon community.
I would prefer that it be left as Marathon at this time, although making one for Myth, Oni, or the oldschool-oldschool games would be a good idea to put away for later. This is for several reasons, the foremost being that Marathon is completely free, and the other games are hard to find in stores, as well as people like myself have parents that are paranoid about putting their credit card on the internet, so eBay is ruled out. That, coupled with the fact that it's the only oldschool series by Bungie that I've played, rules the other games out.
If people actually think that this is a good idea, then I'll make a group specifically for this article, where members can bat around ideas for the article. I'll probably do the core writing aspect, as writing is sort of my thing, with people helping with the technical information.
Remember, if this is going to be on the front page, we will need two things. One, a good team of members who will make this article worthy of being in the top news spot, and also a little cooperation from Frankie. Or whoever organizes the news.
