Soooo, what're ya'lls crazy spaz theories so far?
DUMB
Well, I'm pretty sure that the Pfhor are the three-eyed Soviet space aliens of VALIS.

...That's pretty epileptic.
It would make some sense given the PKD references in the games.
Have you begun to suspect anything about the Marine?
DUMB
Well, I've spoiled myself (wow that sounds wrong) with marathon.bungie.org, so yes. PKD references? Anything other than "Electric Sheep"? And what other references are there in general?
(Given the way VALIS works, Epileptic Trees are required. Infinity isn't much better.)

Did you see the terminal in the last level of M 1 A 1 talking about the hidden cyborgs on the Marathon?
DUMB
Nine cyborgs on Tau Ceti, one unaccounted for? You mean?

Okay.
The cyborg enemies in M2 and Infinity are obviously your sheds. I mean, whenever you teleport, you leave behind a bit of an imprint of yourself. A mindless drone barely resembling you, but still in form. Tycho hacked into all of them and turned them into weapons.

That's one I have yet to have heard.
I theorize that the Marine isn't jumping between realities/timelines in Infinity—he's using the Jjaro Junction thingy to calculate the likely results of different courses of action, and the One True Sequence is his actual course of physical action. In other words, you are playing through prophetic dreams.
Remember in Dune when Paul starts having numerous visions of possible futures, many of them bad? Similar thing.
(P.S.: Who would kick whose ass in a fight between the W'rk'nacter and Sovereign?)
The W'rkncacnter. Sovereign may be a god-like mechanical monster, but he's got nothing on a being made up of pure chaos.

Point.
Also, Sovereign doesn't sleep inside of a fucking sun.
G4 Sunbathing complete. The level design in this game is trickier than I remember.
I will keep my soul in a place out of sight, Far off, where the pulse of it is not heard.

What the hell is going onnnnn

Okay, the last few levels have been driving me to madness. Bobs are some of the most fucking annoying enemies in any FPS that I've ever played.

At least they're fragile.
I recommend the shotgun. Powerful and easy to hit with.
DUMB
I'm on "A converted church in Venice, Italy". So many switches! What the hell!

Oh God, that level.
Uh...Good luck?
DUMB
I got through "One thousand thousand slimy things", I can get through this! I can! I only need to believe! D:

One Thousand Thousand is awesome. Bungie made a tiny D-Day sequence on the Marathon engine! XD
Now what the Hell happened?
And oh man. If this stuff gets to you, you are going to shit your shorts constantly while playing RED.
DUMB
The fucking lava chamber. Fight through the enemies then LOSE ALL YOUR HP then fight MORE enemies?! What the fuck

...Are the BO Bs running towards the Hulks?
I swear they are running towards the Hulks.
That's it. All unarmed BO Bs die by my hand for their own good. It is the only way to ensure the colony is repopulated by non-idiots.
