[Marathon] "You, and what army?"
Sunday, 3 May 2020 10:22It was a surprise , poking around let's plays of Doom Eternal (Marathon fans know why, of course...) discovering that 1- Doom has a lore which is 2- discovered through tangent hints and 3- the protagonist acquires two AI companions, one quite nice, the other one... not... and 4- Maykr drones remember me something. Well, and the "Eternal" title, hahaha. OK, ok, maybe a couple of these are a stretch, but still piqued my interest. Also some of the scenery are a wonder to look at. (Not much a fan of the over the top gore, however, even if played as tongue in cheek).
It was also a surprise noticing how I find myself creatively constipated and absolutely incapable of creating something new from scratch (and Zeus know if I tried, and Hera know if it's going to bite me in the arse, since I have a bunch of work/commissions to do in a short while), but if I take as a base some sketch of a while ago, I can go for it. I used this as a test for coloring, a thing that doesn't come me so easily. (as the time of completion, it's more than two months I tinker on it).
So I had this drawing of Marathon's Security Officer I did some times ago - in the face and name I gave him with a slightly deranged grin that can recall something very similar to veteran Doom players.
( CW: graphic depiction of blood )
Well, between the guy who literally blasted Hell and Heaven to the next week and the timeline-shifting zombie cyborg killer that became the living avatar of destiny I'm sure they have stories to tell. Or complain alien implants/augmentations. Or chat about shotguns.
Or sign, as the fanon for the DoomSlayer seems to be, and I really like this tidbit. ...wondering about the IS translation of "how the *beep* do you reload it, again?"
