: Over the last couple of day I had the need to check out out the in-game views
: of some of the Marathon Infinity terminals... just to be sure... to be
: sure.
: So I had a choice... either play the level from scratch or watch a video of
: the level. Being completely lazy I decided to watch a video. So up popped
: the Rampancy.net podcast of Let's Play Marathon Infinity Co-op
: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIof4Cp3-canWJDjm68Ru0s4PFoEjRGjT
: Unlike a lot of speed run videos or Vidmaster videos the Rampancy boys
: (Narcogen and Blackstar) actually bother the read the terminals. Sure they
: are not Marathon Vidmasters or speed runners... they are just two regular
: guys playing Marathon with a little bit of inside knowledge.
: Anyways...
: I really got a kick out of the ending of the Carroll Street Station video
: when Narcogen attempts to read the end terminal. If you don't want to
: watch it all just skip to that part.

: Rampancy.net has gone on to do some excellent play throughs. Check them out.
: Cheers

Their coverage of Evil and Tempus Irae was what convinced me to play those mods and their reading of Evil's terrible writing is hilarious, especially in A Million Ways to Spend your time: https://youtu.be/GbP20iTdt6Y?list=PLIof4Cp3-camW66k0Z1vHD6NEn4-eT_RD&t=1064
Their Doom gag in Marathon 1 even inspired part of my writing a similar gag for Eternal, but for Brutal Doom Extermination Day & Doom Eternal, as those were that franchise's counterparts to Marathon Eternal (the former pulling double duty as the Redux as well if you count chapter 1 in the Mars base)

Same with their Doom 3 LP, which has inspired me to do a writeup series for Doom (with plenty of my saying Marathon is the better game in vanilla engine terms) on my log at some point, from BFG Edition through to Eternal. Ain't posting it here for obvious reasons as despite my seeing that franchise as a Marathon prequel, it's not a Bungie game so that would be pushing it. I'll wait till next year for it as well.
I might post a look at the PID mod for Doom 3 however, as that is based on a Bungie game (with some nice arc welding between the Bungie & id universes in the PDA) but it's full of wasted potential due to being laughably unfinished.
Speaking of Rampancy.net's videos, I hope they cover Halo SPV3 at some point too, as well as W'rkncacnter's excellent PID A1 port, though those aren't designed for co-op. Still, hasn't stopped them before e.g. Fran Bow, Bioshock, Oni etc. They're more than welcome to use my SPV3 Tour of Duty as a walkthrough if they get stuck in the former.
One of my favourites has to be their MST3K themed highlights video for Marathon 1 as it got me into that show, and the movie the audio clips were from.
