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: Re: Details (Lt. Et'he)

: Reading your posts is like a rehash of myself... 2 years
: ago. Then you'll run into a fluffy brick wall called
: Wolfchild who OWNZ code, and will tell you to go play
: with your ideas somewhere else.

Hey, I'm just a Marathon fan telling you want I want to see. If you want to dissappoint the fans, keep it up.

: Seriously. Once upon a time, I had the exact same stance
: as you in all regards of this MOD... That was back
: when we were starting. 2 years, and in the final
: stretch, it's a bit of a stretch to try and reshape
: the MOD, I would suggest that it's wasted effort too
: late in the game.

It's never to late to try. And if you don't succeed at first, try, try again.

: Oh, and no Cowboy Bebop. It's original, or it's Thon
: sounds, there will be nothing else.

Well, excuse me, but that's just plain stupid. If you want this MOD to sound like it's ancient, then you're on the right track. Who gives a shit about where the sounds come from? Especially, if they sound better and professional. Did you know that you can buy a sound CD pack for around $1000 that has MOST OF THE MARATHON SOUNDS IN IT? Where the hell did you think Bungie got their sounds? 75% of them weren't original my friend, and if you actually knew what you were talking about here, you would know that you could recognize Marathon sounds in other Hollywood Movies, Japanamation titles, games, and so forth. Check out Macross Plus for some Marathon Infinity sounds. There's at least ten of them in there.

And why does it have to be original or Marathon or nothing? Because you want M:R to be pureblood Marathon? Wake up, idiot. You're running it on Unreal Tournament.

: Finally... Who the hell wants to make Marathon 2003 on
: the UT engine which is 2 years old now? I for one am
: leaving for greener pastures and newer, more capable
: engines once we've wrapped this up.

Well when are you going to wrap this up? You said it yourself that it took 2 years to get THIS far. And a remake of a 1994 game needs all the help it can get.

Sure, I'd like to make Marathon 2053 right now, but how many people know their way around Unreal Tournament 2003's source code, or any other great, fresh game. We have an engine that is old by professional game standards, but we're not professional. We're a third-party crew, and third-part crews always deal with older software than the latest title. You want to wait for greener pastures? You might be waiting forever...

: And uh... M:R has already been breathing new life into
: Marathon... For a good year now...

Well where's M:R 2? Where's M:R Infinity? Where's M:R Tempus Irae? That's what I was talking about. I was talking about breathing new life into third party titles. Haven't seen any yet. Maybe you need help reading what I say.

This conversation has gotten heated, and I want to apologize for that. :) I'm not your enemy. I want to contribute. I really admire and appreciate what you've already accomplished.

I just want the best, and there's no shame in throwing out ideas. Just don't shoot them down and act like I'm a fucking moron. It's called being polite and respecting other people's opinions.

I don't know how old you are, but from how you just responded, I'd say a temper-tantrum five.

Maybe a still-wetting-the-bed six.

---There, I got my vengeance. Now I think we should be on the same page. :) Got nothing against you now, unless you do it again.

If you disagree, do it like an adult...
