Here is a 26 minute making of, found on the Marathon Trilogy CD-ROM*, hidden as an invisible file inside a folder containing Bungie’s first game, Gnop. Nowadays it’s harder than ever to dig into a Mac Classic OS 9 CD-ROM and watch this clip. So I’m posting this here. For posterity and because long before [...]

Fallout New Vegas, Week 2 Impressions

By Eric Peacock | Published: October 29, 2010
