Joe Staten and Jason Jones participate in a "public event" against Fallen enemies in the first public demonstration of Destiny gameplay. Destiny portion of the video begins at 2 hours and 3 minutes.

Bungie's official trailer showing the first look at actual gameplay in Destiny.

Durandal has gone Rampant, and is in contact with the Pfhor and S'pht aliens currently infesting the Marathon! Leela wants us to flip some switches that will apparently help with... something. Not really sure what. Of course, before the switch-flipping comes the Pfhor-killing, and there's plenty of that to do in this level, including the new variant mentioned last episode by Leela-- the Pfhor Trooper.

Aleph One, free and open source versions of Marathon for Windows, Mac and Linux at http://source.bungie.org

Bungie fan Spurious Interrupt (MyChemicalBromance on YouTube) over in the Pfhorum posted a video of the top references to older Bungie games found so far in Destiny materials. Take a look!

Leela has produced three chips to replace the damaged ones and reactivate Marathon's automated defense system. On the way, Narcogen and Blackstar notice similarities in both enemy and level design between Marathon and Halo.

YouTube user toolsmyth (Bo Lindbergh in the Marathon Story Page's forum) has posted some gameplay from the first level of Bungie's first shooter, Pathways Into Darkness, now available in the App Store for the Apple Macintosh.

Leyvin360 on YouTube also has a Let's Play series for the game that he started last year.

Narcogen and Blackstar play Level 3 of Bungie's classic sci fi shooter, Marathon: Never Burn Money. Leela tasks us with recovering three chips to repair the Marathon's defensive system, and on our own we attempt to reach an isolated and cryptic terminal that may hold the secret to the identity either of the mysterious security officer who is the player's avatar, or the even more mysterious door-controlling Durandal we have yet to meet.

We've gotten some useful feedback on past episodes, and I'll just acknowledge it here:

This "live action" trailer for Destiny promotes the first gameplay reveal coming up at E3, as well as emphasizing how central cooperative play is to Bungie's new game... "the power of the pack is the wolf, and the power of the wolf is the pack."

Actor Giancarlo Esposito ("Gus" from Breaking Bad") here plays a character seemingly telling a bedtime story about the Guardians. Perhaps he'll have a voice role in the game itself?

Blackstar and Narcogen continue playing through the classic Bungie scifi shooter and precursor to Halo, Marathon.

Special thanks again to Craig Hardgrove for his excellent soundtrack remixes.

Wait after the credits for a short bonus of one (easy) grenade hop and the infrared goggles.

We're doing this playthrough with:

Aleph One, free and open source versions of Marathon for Windows, Mac and Linux at http://source.bungie.org

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.
