Oh my gods, Marathon Infinity. OH MY GODS. No, I'm not finished with it because some of these levels are a pain and a half even on Kindergarten (it's some kind of law of nature that when the BOBs are on your side they can't hit the broad side of a barn or do any real damage, but when they're shooting at you they're all fucking Hawkeye with exploding arrows or some shit), but it is every bit as incredibly weird as I remember it being. I was twitchy as fuck yesterday evening just from playing it, although actually some of that might have been a caffeine overdose.
... anyway I love the weirdness of it, even though all 15 of my save files are named WTF, but I think my copy is a little broken. The chapter screens don't load (this was also a problem with Marathon 2), and I'm pretty sure I've somehow been skipping the "end of failed timeline" levels. I mean, yeah, sure, I can just read the terminal texts on the Marathon's Story page, but I feel like I am missing out on the complete mindfuck experience, you know? Anyway I got an account on some forums and will try asking there if anyone else has had this problem, also use this opportunity to download all the third-party scenarios. ALL OF THEM. ... I might not PLAY all of them but I'll need something to do when I run out of Infinity, since fanfic does not appear to be an option.
