We failed to notice before, but along with the new Letters to the Webmaster at the revised Bungie.net site, there's a new Soapbox, this time by Marty O'Donnell on how long a game should be:

And another thing - this concept of beating a game. Does one say, I just beat War and Peace, and it rocked ? No, one would sound like an idiot. Rather one should say I just finished reading War and Peace and I more fully understand the poignancy and futility of striving against man's inhumanity to man . One would still sound like an idiot, but at least one might have a better chance at impressing a chick at a party (although my daughters would never fall for it so don't even think about trying).

Sure about that, Marty? Let's hope so.
