	In Response To: Re: "Doom" Movie en Route (:: Beer Can ::) : >I believe REB's just taking offense at the general tone of your : "Bungie : >sucks, they borrow stuff heaps, they were lucky noone notices" sort : >of attitude, which you seem to be, no offense, a little hung up on. : It's possible for me to think Bungie to be "borrowers" of the : highest order (note "borrowers" and not "theives"), : and yet *still* love what they've done. : It's possible for me to find it artistically weak that they've : "collected" so much stuff from other people's lifework, but then : I can also very-much appreciate the manner in which they've done so, and : respect the outcome. : I just don't get some people, man: A lot of you "fan" types feel : that everything must be either loved, or hated. You feel that if someone : calls a kettle black, that they're somehow disloyal to the : "Cause." Heck yes! The kettle is *always* white! : ) : You can have both love and hate going on, at the same time, and as far as I'm : concerned, it makes me a stronger part of the game, because I'm not : "wowed" by every little pixel I find in a Shapes file. : Marathon and Myth are the only games I ever play. Ever. Bungie's work has : been an immensely enjoyable "distraction" for me, now going on : 10 years. : But if the Emperor ain't wearing clothes, I'll be the first to tell him. : Such is my reputation in the "real world," as well. That's why : certain kinds of people are not suspicious of my presence, because they : know I'm no "Yes Man." Well, I won't say anything about that, becuase I don't KNOW who you are. You're just another voice with a funny name, to me. : ) No, really, I understand where it is you're coming from. However, I've always thought: Heck, it's a game! Just have fun with it! They borrow. So what. There's no need to go round acting like it's the end of the world. In the end, all that you can really do is have fun. Don't take it seriously, becuase few here do. I don't. There's no "Cause" to be a "Traitor" to. Well, in my mind, at least. If you don't like it, that's cool. Say so, and don't get too overwhelmed by it. I know there are sucky bits in Marathon, I don't love *every* pixel. In fact, there are a few black ones in the M1 Lava texture set that I just *loathe*. : ) Have fun. You're not perfect, I'm not perfect, Marathon's not perfect. Nothing ever is. But for a few brief moments, we can pretend it is, and revel in the Emporer's New Clothes, even though they're not real. Besides, he's indoors, and noone gives a damn if he's really just naked. : ) Service With A Smile: ), Scifiteki : Not in the least. : P.S. http://fileball.net/marathon/member.fb?92007201
