Ach! Was ist los?

Hello, Bungie fans.

Look at your swag. Now look at mine. Now back at your swag. Now back to mine.

Hopefully you have one like mine. But if you don't that's okay, because I'm going to show you mine.

Minor wear on the outside, but nothing serious. Not bad for $31 off eBay.

The shrinkwrap is removed with great care and set aside.

Look down. Back up. Is Hamish still with us?

Good.

TO THE SHEEPSHAVERS!

I always liked that folder art.

Let's see...

"I came in here for Minotaur!" "Oh! Oh... No, I'm sorry, this is Abuse!"

So basically the KKV-7 is an MP5K receiver with a drum magazine and a Werbell suppressor shoved onto the front. I blame McLees.

You'd think they would replace the beta screenshots once the games were already shipping...

http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/8466/trilogy14.jpg

Huh.
http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/6955/trilogy15.jpg

Now that everything's on CD, you'd think they could have made space for the PiD 1.0 and Marathon Zero demos...

An editor, a compiler and a few libraries: good enough for software?

Not Bungie Software!

Back at mine. I have it.
http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/8897/trilogy28.jpg

It's a second disc, with the most fun you can have with your pants on.
http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/5523/trilogy29.jpg

Look again. The disc is now a portal into the past!

Anything is possible when you unwrap the Marathon Trilogy Box Set and not some other game. I'm on a colony ship for sale.

Bob, you sonnofa... THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!

I want an actual copy! Not just the AlephOne stuff (don't get me wrong, AlephOne is a great project).

Man that's Super Cool stuff right there. I wish I could of picked up a Swag Bag. There's some neat stuff in there!

LOL @ Alex Seropian getting motion sickness because of playing Marathon too much.

Also funny how their Bug list is a simple piece of cardboard box.

I lol'd at the absurd miscommunication that occurs whenever dibbs post something. Perhaps his brain is so highly evolved that he can no longer clearly communicate with lesser life forms, even among his own species.

Thank you for allowing me to live vicariously through you and your fingerprint laden pictures.

Eh. Same experience, better price, much more convenient.
Yeah, It sure is hard to beat the low price of free.

No matter how many times I forget about this place, I always get dragged back.

I'm more than okay with that.

Now, that...

That is swag.

By every definition.

Best. Ship. Ever!

I'm happy with my original instruction booklet from Infinity that I've had since 96. But still, cool stuff.

I am a little jealous but like Sardonic was talking about I'm happy with Aleph One.

Also thanks for showing us all.

The games were made around 1995...
You're wishing for the impossible.

Graphics and Gameplay are seperate pieces to the game, you're mising out on an amazing set of games.

Thanks for the pics. I litterally missed 7 auctions for a trilogy set! 7! 5 were listed, one was re-listed, and one was a sale of 6 at once!

You mean six Trilogy Box Sets at once?!

Hey, I have the Mac Action Sack still! Although the only use it has seen in recent times is the moving of PiD onto my hard drive. Who needs MPiD when you have sheepshaver?

Yeah! The guy actually had 7 (funny coincidence), and sold the 6 for $75 in all, free shipping!
