	Marathon (computer game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Marathon is the first title in the Marathon series of science fiction first-person shooter computer games from Bungie Software, the same company who created the Halo series.
		It is revealed that Durandal, another AI onboard the Marathon, has gone rampant and his behavior on the ship begins causing danger to the crew members.
		Despite the fact that this alien creature itself did not appear in the game, it is seen on a texture used on levels during the section of the game where the player explores the Pfhor ship.

	Marathon Trilogy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Marathon is also the name of the giant interstellar colony ship that provides the setting for the first game and figures prominently in the plot of the sequels; the ship is constructed out of what used to be the moon Deimos of Mars.
		Aleph One and the Marathon series of games are unique amongst first person shooters for their heavy emphasis on storytelling through the use of terminals, computer interfaces in the game world through which players not only learn and sometimes accomplish mission objectives, but also learn detailed story information about the game world.
		Marathon entered the market at a time when Doom, a PC game, was receiving much attention, and despite the fact that Marathon was technologically superior, it was on a large standard eclipsed.

	Myth (computer game) - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		These games represented a departure from old standards such as Warcraft in that resource retrieval and unit construction were de-emphasized in favor of squad-level and single-creature-level tactics.
		Games generally are either "free-for-all" or FFA, where each player has his own army and competes with everyone else, or "Team," where a group of players under the leadership of a captain control different forces within a very large army.
		In a strange approach for a computer game, there is little sense of accomplishment in the game's plot- it begins with a sense of futility (owing to a prolonged war), and ends in a rather bittersweet victory.

	Lecture Outline for "Mods, Patches, wads, add-ons, skins, shapes and plug-ins"
		Contrary to what might be supposed, unsanctioned and sanctioned game patching and hacking do not conflict with the commercial interests of the game software industry, in fact, game patching serves as inexpensive R and D for new trends in computer gaming that crystallize and evaporate in the accelerated, perpetually mutating laboratory of the Internet.
		Computer gaming is a popular leisure time activity, replacing television and cinema as prime entertainment, highly addictive and increasingly structuring our perceptual and interpretive frameworks; rather than virtual reality we have come to inhabit game reality.
		The practice of game patching as a whole enters into a mutually beneficial symbiotic relation with the computer game industry, who have only to benefit from the rapid R and D of gaming alternatives and modifications, alternatives that game developers and publishers don’t dare risk without precedent.

	ZINGTECH - Internships in the Game Industry
		Game development is possibly the most demanding form of engineering due to tight deadlines, changing requirements, and reliance on brand new hardware.
		Computer science classes are great, but don't forget to take advanced math classes including vector algebra (useful for 3D graphics programming) and numerical methods (used in animation).
		Many smaller game studios may not have the resources to train and employ interns, so try focusing your search on larger game studios like EA, Sony Entertainment, Ubisoft, etc. If information about internships is not available online, you may have to send an e-mail or call their HR department.

		But the parasitic game patch is also a means to infiltrate // gaming culture and to contribute to the formation of new configurations // of game characters, game space and gameplay.

		Marathon is a new computer game that runs on the Mac; it is a lot like the game Doom.
		In the network game, one actually sees an avatar of one's partners in the melee; there is no facial detail, but, if you want you can talk over the computer's microphone, you can watch your partner napalm alien bugs, you can run past each other and bump into each other.
		However, the path termed the anergic ludic is a game playing path that does NOT reintegrate, that does not work, per se, but plays, and that sees the general condition of society as a problem, not as a datum.

		The goal of Goober’s Marathon is to develop children’s awareness about the food they eat, to help them understand the differences in nutritional content of various foods, and to influence their eating habits so that they are more likely to choose foods that form a healthy, balanced diet.
		Two of the primary goals of this scene are: To “hook” the child into the game, using an action-oriented scene with lively sound effects, cartoon animation, and instant-feedback scoring; To encourage the child to make gross-level choices of healthy foods vs. not-so-healthy foods, particularly staying away from fatty foods and sweets.
		This is because the game should interest children right away so they are drawn in, and then keep them interested long enough for the educational aspects of the game to sink in.
