When I grow up, I want to be just like goofenhour.

He's talking about the Vidmaster Challenge. The Vidmaster Challenge was a way for people to show how good they were at Marathon. Jason Jones told people that if they thought they were so good at Marathon, to beat the whole game on Total Carnage only using the pistol and nothing over x1 health. After that they were to upload there "Vid" for proof. That was just the base rules, there's other rules including to "Never, Ever, Leave A Single Bob Alive."

Plus, who likes Bobs?

I pledge to punch all switches, to never shoot where I could use grenades, to admit the existence of no level except Total Carnage, to never use Caps Lock as my 'run' key, and to never, ever, leave a single Bob alive.

P.S. I don't really like Marathon.

You kill them because they're BoBs. Why do you need a reason?

Lol I guess. I always thought there was a meaning behind it. Like a under story. But yeah, I guess it's just for the challenge.

What are the Marathon experts to do when the gimmies become obscure? Still hoping and waiting for that Journeyman avatar...
