Anger, Sadness and Envy

Leela has produced three chips to replace the damaged ones and reactivate Marathon's automated defense system. On the way, Narcogen and Blackstar notice similarities in both enemy and level design between Marathon and Halo.

Narcogen and Blackstar play Level 3 of Bungie's classic sci fi shooter, Marathon: Never Burn Money. Leela tasks us with recovering three chips to repair the Marathon's defensive system, and on our own we attempt to reach an isolated and cryptic terminal that may hold the secret to the identity either of the mysterious security officer who is the player's avatar, or the even more mysterious door-controlling Durandal we have yet to meet.

Blackstar and Narcogen continue playing through the classic Bungie scifi shooter and precursor to Halo, Marathon.

Special thanks again to Craig Hardgrove for his excellent soundtrack remixes.

Wait after the credits for a short bonus of one (easy) grenade hop and the infrared goggles.

We're doing this playthrough with:

Aleph One, free and open source versions of Marathon for Windows, Mac and Linux at http://source.bungie.org

Remixes of the Marathon soundtrack by Craig Hardgrove at http://themarathonmusic.com

In this episode of Anger, Sadness and Envy, Narcogen talks to Mars Science Laboratory planetary scientist Craig Hardgrove, fan of Bungie games and master remixer of the Marathon soundtrack about Marathon, Destiny, as well as Call of Duty and Bioshock Infinite.

Here at Rampancy, we'll be starting a new series on the Anger, Sadness and Envy podcast: a video Let's Play series of Bungie's classic science fiction shooter, Marathon, as played using the modern Aleph One engine under Mac OS X. We'll also be playing with a remixed version of the Marathon music, originally written by Bungie founder Alex Seropian and remixed and remastered by JPL planetary scientist Chris Hardgrove.

This time on Anger, Sadness and Envy, Narcogen, Blackstar and Cody Miller take a look at the first level of Halo: Reach, Winter Contingency. Show highlights include: ODST was the only Halo game that started with a text crawl. Reach is the only one that starts with a flashback, showing your customized helmet on the post-invasion, burning surface, then transitioning to Noble Six putting the helmet on in the Warthog, on his (or her) way to meet the rest of Noble Team.
