In this episode, a computer terminal we'll visit over and over again tells us that General Dire got promoted over us. What a jerk!

EVIL can be played, like the other Marathon games, using the open source Aleph One engine which you can get here for Windows, Mac and Linux:

Marathon Infinity's "Vidmaster Challenge" features remixes of three levels, the first of which is Try Again from the original Marathon. Each level includes grey, upgraded enemies.

A few notes about our playthrough:

We played Marathon and Marathon Infinity on Normal difficulty. We increased the difficulty on Marathon 2: Durandal to Major Damage to compensate for our somewhat higher familiarity with the levels of that game.

We played co-op in the Destiny Beta! Join Blackstar and Narcogen as they go through each story mission, plus the strike, and point out the golden chest locations. (These may change before final release, though.)

This time, we enlist the help of Kermit7 to take on Sepiks Prime in the Devil's Lair strike. Some notes: Narcogen and Blackstar's audio is being recorded separately in Skype, so Kermit7's audio is unfortunately missing from most of this recording.
