Here at Rampancy, we'll be starting a new series on the Anger, Sadness and Envy podcast: a video Let's Play series of Bungie's classic science fiction shooter, Marathon, as played using the modern Aleph One engine under Mac OS X. All three games in the Marathon series (Marathon 1 and 2 by Bungie, and Marathon Infinity by Double Aught, a studio made up of Bungie alums) are available to play on Mac, Windows, and Linux from http://source.bungie.org.

We'll also be playing with a remixed version of the Marathon music, originally written by Bungie founder Alex Seropian and remixed and remastered by JPL planetary scientist Chris Hardgrove. (We don't talk about the music in the first episode but we'll get to it, I promise). You can get his remix, as well as lots of other cool Marathon music-related stuff, at http://themarathonmusic.com

So, without further ado, the first level of Marathon 1: Arrival as played by Blackstar and myself.
