In Response To: Re: ♫just don't look, just don't look...b (Hopper)

is there some sort of terrible at Bungie gift pack? Because I still haven't beaten Pathways, by the non-terrified-child-cheating way...let alone Marathon...

But I will, with 55 damage, Bog willing.

And I know I could already have done better, and know people like treellama already have...

despair;
rage;
envy?

Aye
mak
sicur.

: Nah, I wasn't that dedicated/crazy. I cleaned out the north hallway before
: the run, and the gauntlet ended with my facing west, into the ghasts: -
: open door at hallway, hide around corner till ghasts come through door,
: bang bang
: - NNE down hallway, till I see the corner
: - sidestep down the hall while turning left, facing NW by the time I reach
: the second corner
: - continue facing NW as I head south to second corner
: - head west, fire AK-47 like mad at ghasts while oozes slime my back

: Years of being terrible at Marathon have honed my backing-away skills, but
: there you can easily outpace anything chasing you...

: I think they very much wanted to force you into that "terror" mode,
: by making your psychological safety-net as harmful as possible. They give
: monsters the edge in long-distance fights, create groups so you'd get
: overwhelmed by shining your light around corners, and even have an NPC
: tell you to turn it off.

: By modern game standards, it'd probably be seen as an utter failure!
: "Our testers never found the alternate solution to the ooze puzzle,
: can you add Paul Anka's corpse to give them hints?"
