In Response To: Re: Marathon Dictionary? (Little Kago)

: anyone intrigued by the marathon "story" would do themselves a
: massive and amazing and self-enriching favor by reading (fully) the
: sources of these little vague, teasing chunks that bungie clumsily
: plastered together.

I doubt that anyone here believe's that the Maraverse story content is foolproof - well, almost anyone - but the amazing thing that keeps us coming back here week after week, year after year is that it works pretty damn well. Yes, there are enough inconsistencies and contradictions to fill, well, the story page, but the story for the most part fits together to form a compelling drama. And when things don't fit together perfectly, we concoct elaborate reasons to make them fit. Marathon is still one of the best gaming experiences out there, thanks to the tight integration of story and action. No matter how contrived it may all be in reality, we still love it.

Oh, and yes, I would also be interested in seing a dictionary to bring everything toether in a more cohesive fashion.
