The name's Ian, Game Designer at Whisper Game Studios, very off-and-on Bungie.net visitor and avid Bungie fan overall. Message me if you wish.
NOTE: If you don't know what Aleph One is or even just what Marathon is, it is a free community funded project to bring Marathon freely to the public. Marathon is an FPS developed by Bungie in the mid-late 1990's.
ANYONE can download the Marathon games and the Aleph One engine for free at The Aleph One Homepage. If you're worried about things getting too complex with scenario packs and the main games being separate applications, just download the original three games and run their individual .exe's or Applications depending on the game you want to play.
For Mac users: Simply hit the download link for the game and drag and drop the application into your Applications folder, then run the app.
For Windows users: Simply hit the download link for the game and drag the game's folder to your Program Files folder in "C:" and then run the game's .exe file.
For Linux users: Download Aleph One for Linux, unpack the tar.bz2 file, run "./configure && make && make install", download Marathon game files, place the unzipped files in "/usr/local/share/AlephOne", Run "alephone"
DLC NOTE FOR DURANDAL: For those of you who plan on joining or at least may jump in on a game or two, it's PREFERABLE that you have the two DLC packs for Durandal. If you don't don't worry, just let me know that you're trying to join and I'll disable the packs.
Ladies and Gents, I present to you NOT another Bungie Day hype thread, but more or less a gamer gathering thread for Bungie Day.
For the past few Bungie Days, multiple people have gone to host large Marathon Multiplayer games on Bungie Day. This is a tradition I am not willing to let go of.
To clarify, this is not a tournament, this is simply a gathering of everyone who has Marathon Durandal on Xbox or any of the Aleph One powered Marathon games on PC/Mac. I will be playing on both systems. I'm going to have about 12 people over at my house on Saturday so I may not actually be the player playing in all matches. We're doing a swap between people playing Marathon on my Mac and people playing on my Xbox, but regardless, games will always be going on each system.
I highly encourage all of you who have either game to join me and my friends in the glorious day that is Bungie Day just to hang out and have a good time.
My Mariusnet name is: SpartanI013
(Display name in Marathon: Darksider13)
My XBL Gamertag is: ADAM Addict13
You can private message me on either one if you'd like to link up for a private game or you can just keep an eye out for me as I carouse the gaming networks of the various Bungie games.
Overall, if you have the Marathon games, play them online with whoever you can find if you don't wish to go through the organizational madness that is trying to get servers running on Mac and gathering parties on XBL. Just try to honor the past Bungie games.
I'd love to run some Myth TFL games as well but seeing as I have yet to purchase the Action Sack, I cannot do so, but I definitely encourage people with Myth to run some games too and see who they can gather.
P.S. I'll primarily be playing Marathon Infinity multiplayer on Mac but I have all of the popular scenarios such as Rubicon, Red, Evil, Tempus, Eternal and then of course the three originals as well.
P.P.S. Regarding time of the event:
