In Response To: Re: Anyone read the XBN Halo article? *POSSIBLE SP (Akira)

: Reason I ask, after poking around Bungies "old" site, this image on
: this T-shirt, the right hand portion of the character looks like Halo/MC
: suit. (if I'm wrong, I apologize, considering I've played neither game, so
: don't know if the reference is correct)

:

: Akira

HEY IT'S BOB!!!

No that is not the marine, that is a tshirt known as "The Evolution of BOB"

BOB = Born on Board ... they were the human NPCs in marathon. This is why you will see some old skool bungie fans refer to the NPC marines in halo as "BOBs".

In the first marathon, they were completely helpless .. running around screaming "They're Everywhere!" (or "Thank God it's you!" but that's another story for another day). In Marathon 2 ... bungie gave them some teeth, in the form of a pistol ... so they were actually somewhat useful and could fight back. In Marathon Infinity they went one step further, and gave them vacuum suits (so they could run around on vacuum levels) and fusion pistols.

There you have it.
