I downloaded the Shots Fired projectile enhancement pack recently, and it isn't working well. At first, the only things that were different were the contrails behind rockets and grenades. Today, I noticed that the s'pht projectiles were improved, but all the others are the same as they used to be. H...

I heard that you need to download an OpenGL driver if you have Vista. I don't have Vista though, so I don't know for sure. Microsoft owns DirectX; OpenGL's competitor, so they aren't directly supporting them anymore.

I find it annoying when people disable the motion sensor or when they add penalties for dieing and suiciding. Not too common though.

The reason Marathon Durandal got such a low rating is because the common opinion of what should be the main focus of an FPS is killing. [spnkr] This is the expectation people have usually when they play an FPS for the first time. This is then amplified by the fact that Doom was released soon before ...

This is a petty good tutorial for Blender: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro

445. You think an RPG can hold two rockets. 446. To turn on your light you punch the switch 44!!!7!!!. You import the marine emoticons on this site into your instant messenger. 448. You think that a pistol can fire in space, but an assault rifle can't. 449. You think it's practical to coat a bullet ...

This belongs in several categories, so I put it in none of them. These are just a few random questions having something to do with Marathon and PiD. They may be edited and new ones may be added, so check back occasionally. First, a question about Pathways (and to a lesser extent, Marathon). Does a J...

If I were to create an AI, what should I name it? I'm thinking of training a Marathon-based Hal Personality on A-i.com . I'll almost certainly name it Durandal, but I want to hear some other names too. Tell me what I should name it and why, but try to keep it at-least somewhat Marathon-related. PS: ...

Here is a time zone map: When it's 3PM Eastern time, it's 2PM Central, 1PM Mountain, 12 Noon Pacific, 11AM in Alaska, and 10AM in Hawaii. If you live outside the US look at this map: EDIT: You add the number at the bottom of your time zone to the time you need to convert from GMT (unless you live th...

ask alan "what is rampancy". his answer will not be completely accurate but is still a good description.

436. You know the exact date Durandal was referring to when he said: T-Minus 15.193792102158E+9 years until the universe closes! (October 17, 15193794896 give or take) 437. <- Not another one! 438. You've figured out the average speed of the UESC Marathon on its journey to Tau Ceti: 26,824,665 mph (...

426. Your dreams mimic the Electric Sheep levels. 427. Another 7 (another has seven letters!). 428. You don't think it's possible to jump. 429. You refuse to jump or crouch in other games. 430. You realized that the digits in this number add up to se7en. 431. You develop theories about rampancy in R...

I made it (although I was half an hour late) but my internet connection quit. When I got it to work again I wasn't sure whether the tournament had started or not. Apparently it didn't. So when are we going to try this again?

I like the shotgun for its dual-wield ability and its instant kill, the SMG because it's a heavily improved pistol that you can't dual-wield but don't need to, to get a kill, and the AR because it's a good all around weapon with 'nades, and it's easy to fight up close.

I'm in too! In Aleph One I'm Counter Attack.

Has anyone played Marathon: Durandal on XBLA yet? Gamespot showed it on On the Spot yesterday and IGN posted a relatively positive video review. Unfortunately, I don't have an XBox
