Have you ever tried getting a friend of yours into Marathon?

Have you ever tried to convince a friend of yours to download/play Marathon?

[irons]

Never. This is out of the question.

[soulblighter]

Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try.

[Sam Lowry]

If you want to play with your friends get a Wii.

[T-Rex]

I've tried a few times and my success rate is pretty high!

[logan]

I've got my brothers to play it a few times if that counts

[irons]

No incest jokes please.

[Da Spadger]

I tried. It didn't go very well. D:

[Tireces]

Yup, ummm sorta, if you count X360 Marathon: Durandal. But its one step closer to playing original games.

[megabyte]

I've tried and failed. They are all about flawless graphics.

[Zott]

I've tried. I had success with my brother, but he respects older games more than the new guys.
(Case in point: One of my friends was asking for violent/gory video games, I said, what about Soldier of Fortune II, and he was all like "That's old".)

As for my friends, I can't seem to convince them to due it, even when offering to download it, and put it on a disk/flash drive for them, and have it all setup.

[The Thug]

When they ask me what "Frog Blast The Vent Core" means I see the opportunity to tell them about it. But when I start discussing it, all my friends become uninterested.

[MasterYo1]

Pick a whole number between 7 and 819.

If it's an integer, then always. If it's not, then I failed to convince that person.

what is with you fuckers and math

I tried to get my friend to play today. I got him as far as installing the game and joining a multiplayer match. After failing to grasp he could change the controls and *gasp* use a mouse, he stopped playing promptly. Another lost gamer to our circle.

[moonible]

out of the people i tried to persuade one actually downloaded and installed marathon and got it to work. he played about 30 seconds of the original marathon and said it wasn't as good as doom.

[visciom]

I got one friend to download m1a1 and m2. He was interested in it enough to play through all of m1 and half of m2.

[uesc.secdef]

One facet of the many-sided reason I'll never *ever* get along with my generation.

[Phortiphy]

Have you ever tried to convince a friend of yours to download/play Marathon?

Yes, and now everyone in the school "hates" marathon just to spite me.
Despite that, I did get obbieGL and maybe a few others sometime in the future to come, and I also gave some kongregaters a news flash about marathon being open source and all.

Hey slave, remember that map you hosted awhile back with the messed up physics? It was JC's Knights of the _____ (Forget the last word, think it was "dark table" or something), and you changed the lighting and made weird invincible, invisible pfhor with the fucked up voices? Yeah, that was what made everybody "hate" marathon
They don't really hate it, though. 9/10ths of them haven't played it.

[MoppyPuppy]

"I'm Ricky Bobby, if you don't play Marathon, well then F*** you."

[Pfhorrest]

what is with you fuckers and math

That's not math, that's just numbers.

[Harald.O]

I actually started playing quite recently since my friend recommended it. I've tried to get other people to start playing, but so far, non eof them have been convinced. They're too much into graphics.

[1337 n00b]

A friend of mine got me into Marathon!

[Packard20]

All of my friends can't figure out zip files. My girlfriend sent me a bunch of files she wanted on another computer, out of instinct I placed them into a .zip archive ...Yeah, that didn't work. So no, they know I play a weird game made by the people that also made halo for the 90's called 'Marathon' and that theres frog blast's the vent core's and crazed AI's along the way, but nothing else. It's really horrible to be the only person I know who knows how to fully use a computer.
