SPEAK YOUR MIND

"Does the distance one travels from center make one more free to move?"

"No. Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphor has two parts: form and interpretation. Of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom is being the bricoleur, the mason."

In Response To: Nostalgia 2 - Great moments in Marathon (Ronin)

: Fond Memories of Marathon from an ex-mac marathoner.

: 1/ Jumping off the hidden high ledge in Mars Needs Women,
: firing straight down with the Spanker - missing the
: person I was aiming at - being killed by the explosion
: and thrown back one the same ledge!!

: 2/ Throwing a random missile at a random door whilst
: runnning about. The shock of opening a door to receive
: a missile straight in your face made most people
: physically jump out of their seats quite often!!!

: 3/ Someone who has less energy left that you runs out of
: ammo whilst you are both underwater. Get the job done
: much quicker by waiting for them to get close enough
: to thump you - the let off a fully charges blast with
: the fusion pistol. (the electric eel approach!)

: 4/ Avoiding a barrage of Missiles and Grenades from your
: opponent by using fancy footwork - and killing them
: with one shot from the magnum -- which we nicknamed
: the bb - (ball bearing) gun because of its extremly
: puny firing rate.

: 5/ Firing the SPNKR at peoples feet. Which was of course
: standard practice. If you are both running fast they
: could fly for miles!

: 6/ The perenial classic and my favourie. Pretend to run
: aout of ammo by deliberately changing to the magnum -
: run around a corner and stop (just out of scanner
: range) then arm up double shotguns and wait. The
: chance of going after someone with no ammo it too
: great to resist. So when they come round the corner
: and walk into both barrels.......

: Does anyone else have these type of fond (or sinister)
: memories?

None as funny as when my friend and I were playing. I was whupping with no contest. The clocked ticked down to a few seconds. I knew he was on a ledge above me and I had my spanker out but I didn't think I'd hit him, just scare him a bit. So I point it just above the ledge and fire. At this point in time my friend decides that this would be a good time to jump off the ledge!!!!!!! HOME RUUUUUUUNNNNNN!!!!!!! :D
