ASE Ep. 86 Beware Abandoned Rental Trucks M2 lvl 24

The long dormant S'pht AI tells us that what needs to be done is clear. In a pig's eye! Unless what he means is shoot stuff and push buttons, because we would have done that without being told. Add to that some truly epic tele-bogarting of the shield recharge by Narcogen and some revenge from Blackstar and you have the latest episode of Let's Play Marathon 2, level 24.

ASE Ep. 85: Where the Twist Flops M2 lvl 23

A pit of exploding BoBs. Hunters teleporting into your back pocket. A computer terminal submerged in lava, containing only three classified advertisements. What's not to like?

ASE Ep. 84: Kill Your Television M2 lvl 22

UPDATE: Whoops! This was supposed to be for Friday, and I skipped Episode 83 by mistake, which also threw off the "levels remaining" count. So episode 83 will go out on Friday and when both are posted I'll correct the dates on the episodes so the playlists are in the proper order.

Blake wants us to find more personality cores for Thoth, the S'pht AI, and turn them on. I hope he's worth it. This level has some particularly interesting underwater (overwater?) architecture.

Seven levels left including this one!

ASE Ep. 83: My Own Private Thermopylae M2 lvl 21

What, no airfield? What a gyp!

After having "saved" all of Blake's BoBs from their assimilation, Blackstar and Narcogen turn their attention back to Thoth. However, it appears he's not the only AI waiting in the wings to make a triumphant return...

Only seven levels left!

ASE Special: God Will Sort The Dead Secrets, Crusher and Invincibility

We played through level 20 of Marathon 2 awhile ago, God Will Sort the Dead, but we partially missed one prominent feature (the crushers situated above the teleporters) and one that has apparently remained hidden and nearly secret since the game's release. It's been hinted at by the maintainer of the Marathon Story Page:

Now it's been exhausively investigated by PerseusSpartacus:

RPG Elements In Destiny Will Keep Players Coming Back

...at least that's what Bungie's lead investment designer on Destiny, Tyson "Ferrex" Green, is counting on. Watch this GameInformer interview to see him talk about what Bungie has learned from other games and where they are striking out on their own.

ASE Ep. 82: God Will Sort the Dead

Jason Jo... I mean, Robert Blake wants us to sidetrack from our mission of reactivating the dormant S'pht AI in order to take care of some assimilated BoBs that are harassing his men. We're warned that "their minds don't work like ours" but I think he's failed to take into account how our minds work.

We're not supposed to ever leave a BoB alive, but we do. Just one. We couldn't find him to kill him.

We're also now using the 1024x1024 textures originally created for the XBLA version of the game:

GameInformer Answers Its Own Question

For years now I've speculated that Bungie became independent from Microsoft in 2007 because the studio wanted to make games that weren't Halo but Microsoft wanted no part of that. This conclusion seemed (to me, anyway) to be strongly supported by the spinoff deal that set Bungie free in exchange (at least in part) for Microsoft keeping the Halo franchise. Any lingering doubts I'd suggest were expunged by Jason Jones in his last interview with Game Informer:
