I am no longer entertaining the idea that Marathon should have been a different experience or that Bungie is somehow wrong about the game they made.
I refuse to wait an arbitrary amount of time to appreciate the incredible experience in front of me all so I can fit in with a crowd that wasn't going to play it anyway.
Marathon is an incredible game.
Not in retrospect. Right now.
@MarathonGG_ 9. The rapidness of the updates, and their nerfs and buffs were almost all right. Gonna need a bigger season pass. Finished it really fast.
@sagar_tushirr@TheDrainmaker Austin is so good in the ring, and Kenny is still the best, would be an excellent match. And they love fighting games… imagine how many ideas they could use together… excellent sequences.
@goinggoldfilms@DetectiveSeeds I can agree with you that, as I believe Marathon might have the best gunplay I’ve ever played. I Love Horizon and Death Stranding so the Decima engine would be an intriguing thing.
Dear @Bungie,
I have been such a huge fan of yours since Halo CE, 3k hours in halo 2, 4k hours between Destiny 1+2, but @MarathonTheGame has the most adrenaline fueled, best feeling gunplay out of any fps.
Thank You for making me love FPS again,

Takeaways from the #Broncos' Week 9 win:
• Starting with the coaching, I'm really sick of the Jekyll & Hyde nature of this team. We never know week-to-week whether the Good Version or the Bad Version will show up. And how much of the game they'll show up for. Inconsistency is Denver's biggest issue, and I hate to say it falls on Sean Payton ... but it does.
• As is too often the case, Payton's play-calling ranged from questionable to downright bad until crunch time took hold, and Bo Nix needed to be Bo Nix. Please, Sean: less Michael Bandy, more Pat Bryant. Less screens, more commitment to the ground game.
• This requires its own bullet point: LET BO USE HIS LEGS MORE.
• We all know by now how clutch Nix is in the fourth quarter, but the Broncos cannot keep living like this. Some of that admittedly falls on Bo, who misses one too many layup throws in the early portions of games. That's to be fair to Payton.
• To be fair to Bo, the receivers (Sutton, Franklin, etc.) cannot keep dropping catchable passes. This happens with Court at a critical juncture almost every week (though he tends to rectify himself later). The looks are usually there; the ball's usually there. The wideouts simply HAVE to complete the snags.
• Speaking of, the lack of chemistry between Nix and Evan Engram is pretty apparent. I still believe Engram can be a major weapon in this offense, but their timing just isn't there yet.
• Shoutout to the Texans, who battled harder than I thought after losing Stroud. Their defense is 1000% legit.
• However, same as last week, miss me entirely with the, "Oh, the Broncos only won because Stroud got hurt." Bad teams would've choked this game. I remember when the Broncos lost to MATT MOORE. That was a bad team. This is not. GTFOH.
• Dre Greenlaw and Talanoa Hufanga are the types of talents you don't know how you lived without. Absolute game-changers for this defense. Two of the better FA signings (thus far) in recent franchise history.
• Jonathon Cooper remains the league's most underrated pass-rusher. Zach Allen remains the league's most consistent defensive producer.
• Fire Darren Rizzi.
