Watch us play an entire match of Bungie’s new extraction shooter, Marathon

Look man, the discourse is the discourse, and we live in a not-so-nuanced time when it comes to video game reactions.

But I spoke to people at the event who were skeptical coming into Marathon (as I myself was). Those same people think the game is quite good now, just like I do.

Hey it’s me on @skarrow9.bsky.social’s channel going over my Mararhon footage!

More specifically, we broke down an entire match from start to finish, which I think will be really useful for folks.

Huge thanks to Skarrow for humoring me here.

Deal!

Please enjoy the story of how @tocom.bsky.social taught me to fish in Marathon.

My preview:

Super awesome designer Kevin Yanes talks about Marsthon. He has a beard and black shirt, and is being interviewed via microphone by another man in a grey hoodie and dark baseball cap.

Congrats Bungie friends! Marathon looks epic, can't wait to jump in!

Also @tocom.bsky.social don't think I didn't shout "I know him!!!" to my partner while watching the countdown earlier :P

Had a great time man!

With Marathon, Bungie has a chance for the three-peat The extraction genre is a first for Bungie

I thought Marathon would be decent, but I didn’t think it would be for me. I loved my time with it.

I think there are plenty of Destiny folks who are in the same boat as me, a not particularly engaged PvP player.

Please check out my preview. I’m pretty proud of it.

I’m not even remotely joking when I say that messing with the price of videogame stuff will be the thing that brings him down. It should have been a million other things, but it’ll be this.

I’ve been in Bellevue the past couple of days checking out Marathon at Bungie.

I’m not able to say anything more, but you’ll eventually be able to read my impressions at Polygon.com.

I’ll post a link here when it goes up, so “watch this space,” as they say.

Impressions coming soon

Hey, I got the ESRB rules for Steam trailers wrong! 😓

I'm very very sorry and here's the official rules (PLEASE SHARE THIS, I deleted the original post to prevent misinformation)

Official rule: Trailers on Steam pages MUST INCLUDE THE ESRB RATING if the game is rated by the ESRB!!!

I guess Republicans could go with "It's the Democrats' fault there's a shutdown because they wouldn't obey us," and there are certainly D.C. reporters who are stupid or craven enough to parrot that, but it does seem fairly easy for any Democrat with a mouth and a microphone to refute convincingly.

@tocom.bsky.social sorry not sorry.

Okay so I’m on vacation now & it’s a big one since that means today was my last “official” day working on @destinythegame.bungie.net When I come back next year, I will be a weapons designer on @marathonthegame.bungie.net But I want to reflect on 2024. Let’s start:
