I have an awesome idea. If you played Marathon in 1994, erase all your memories of Marathon 2 and infinity or replaying M1 and then crack open Marathon 2 next year. You'll know exactly how long the 17 year intermission between the two events feels [MSmile]

Unless you are asking who the pic he uses for his avatar is, then you should google "oni".

To say the least, having played the game since preschool, it makes me feel quite old.

I ask because I recognize Konoko, but nobody even likes Oni(well sorta kinda).

I don't recognize brilliant. But whatever, it's good to be back.

Hi! There is a small community for Oni, just like for Marathon:

http://oni.bungie.org/

You probably don't recognize me because I joined after you.

Probably. I was in an internet-coma for most of the year. :\
After rage-quitting out of a Marathon project.... you know how it is.

I'm glad, because people are still interested in it.

I rented oni once for playstation or something. I didn't like it. Now I'm astonished to know it was spawned by the same people who created marathon and PiD. It's like, Bungies version of Heretic II. Yeeuck.

I've read the Playstation version of Oni is unplayable and didn't get good reviews. I recommend trying out the pc of mac version.

Marathon has been a teenager the last years. And before that, a spoiled brat. What's next? ^^

Perhaps that's because it was created by Bungie West, and not the folks from Chicago? They didn't exactly have Mr. Jones' wise storytelling devices at their immediate disposal.

Next year, we shall celebrate Marathon's 18th birthday by making a DOOM/Marathon crossover, because everyone should lose their virginity around 18.

Which leads to question how the martian colonists got Deimos out of hell to hollow it out and ship it off to Tau Ceti.

Who knows, that could make a good plotline
