Funny / Marathon

Examples from the original trilogy:

• Midway through Marathon Infinity, Tycho will get extremely angry at you for suddenly cooperating with Durandal. His reaction? "Prepare to drink vacuum, fool." He then promptly teleports you out into space. Where you sit. And wait. And shoot. Don't worry, Durandal will eventually save you.
  • Also a Call-Back to Marathon, where Durandal threatens to teleport you out into space if you keep delaying.
• In this walkthrough, an attempt to grenade jump fails humorously.
  LPer: We could take the long way... (grenade jumps, but fails to reach the ledge) ...or we could take the long way.
• Many of the quotes from the Marathon Trilogy. An example: "By the way, I had an accident with some defense drones while you were away. You might bump into a few of them here. Don't worry, they're mostly harmless; I don't think I gave them any ammunition for those grenade launchers."
  • Also, we can't forget:
  Durandal: You are really good at killing things. I'm impressed.
  • From "What About Bob?"
  Durandal: Basically the attack failed because Bobs aren't fireproof and the Pfhor flooded the area with lava.
  • After destroying a Pfhor power plant on Lh'owon:
  Durandal: Hlford will be taking cold showers until he gets that fixed.
• The screams that the BOBs make when you burn them, or other players. Funnier because Bungie encouraged players to murder the people that you were supposed to be saving.
• Also, 8-Player Co-op in a game meant for one person? When it's not a ridiculous and hilarious amount of carnage, it's pure awesomeness. Why did they get rid of 8-Player Co-op?
• Durandal's naming sense: when he and the S'pht take control of the Pfhor ship that attacked the Marathon, the S'pht rename it "Narhl'Lar" ("Freedom and Vengeance") as a profound statement on the beginning of their rebellion. Durandal, on the other hand, calls the ship "Boomer".
  • When he takes control of another ship (To replace the Boomer), Durandal continues this gag.
    Durandal: I have rechristened the Khfiva the Rozinante. Of course, the S'pht wanted to name it "K'liah'Narhl", "Vengeance of K'lia". Whatever.
• On "Curioser and Curioser..." (M2), when Durandal's complaining about his plan to subvert the drones not holding out as long as he'd hoped because the Nar already did that, look closely at the image he shows you. That green thing that one of the Nar is holding is a sack full of drones.
• Map text from the M2 level God Will Sort The Dead... gives us this gem.
  "Q: How do you tell the difference between the good Bobs and the bad ones? A: Good Bobs?"
