Huh, I had no clue that team was really that connected to the Marathon fan club. That changes my image of them greatly!
: Now you're just making things up. The SMG sprites and M1 floating HUD were

: allow the plugin to be available for free, and he got the original artists
: together to make the extra art we needed.
Okay, yeah, that... makes... more sense. :P
