Wow, these are all really nice! I love your style, and the cartoon with the F'lickta made me grin. Good work!

Haha! I like the comic a lot - punching Hulks is rarely as effective as one could wish...

Aww, it's very charming. Good work!

Nice work! I like it.

Heh, pretty awesome!

I would cry tears of pearls and pure gold to receive such treasure, but I have no room.

Heh, very clever! I like it.

That the floating pink bugs in M2 were the F'lickta (I don't remember what I thought the actual F'lickta were).

I think Wikipedia is providing you with the answer, then. It's a fictional band and the song is made up; compose whatever tune you'd like for it.

Marathon 2 for me! I need to get back to that Total Carnage run I'm doing...

Destiny wrote:How old is "an impressionable age?" I'm always curious to know when people started playing Marathon. I love to hear people's story.

Around 7th grade, for me. I think Infinity had either just been released or hadn't quite come out yet - I started with Marathon 2.

Hell yeah, I still play - got sucked into it by a family friend at an impressionable age, and well, I can't map but I'm here anyway. Even managed to get someone else who'd never played it before into the games a few months ago and they loved 'em.

Looks like a pretty nice wallpaper to me! I'm saving it for sure - thank you for sharing it.

That is gorgeous - I love the textures and color choice. Incredibly striking.

But to answer your other question, I will most definitely be playing Destiny when it comes out, it looks SO AMAZING. I hope there's Marathon and Halo easter eggs scattered throughout the game. I have my fingers crossed for getting buzzed by Durandal if/when you get to go to Pluto. [MGrin] (Or maybe...

Man, if that was real I'd actually buy Mario Party.

Ah, woot. ...can't say for sure whether I'll stick around. Kinda stopped playing through minfinity once I got sent back in time to do the same bullshit all over again. Aww, stick around! (I've never seemed to have that problem with Infinity; in fact I usually seem to have the opposite one, I always...

Whatever happened, it's nice to be back. I missed this place.

I am pleased to hear it! Certainly too pleased to care about a measly nine days - what nine days?

My 13th birthday is approaching, so I should be able to sign up for the Fan Fiction Archive soon, at which point I'll upload these two and work on maybe a few more. I'm thinking I might try to establish some background world design and/or plot behind my Ex Pluribus project (which is still on the ta...

Anyone want to collaborate?

Sure. We talking xeno, AI romance, or what?

Thank you, I am sure I will! (But probably tomorrow, as it's a bit late where I am.)

You could always post them to other sites like FF.net - wonder of wonders, it actually does have a Marathon section! And it would be nice to feel like I wasn't almost entirely alone posting.

(I know it's neither art nor music, but there isn't a specific subforum for writing and nowhere else fits any better.) So - does anyone else write stories in the Marathon universe? I know of the official fic archive, as well as a writer on FF.net and my own efforts, but I was wondering if there migh...

Stop playing. It's what I did. Those fisheye effects are murder.
