So, now that August 2 has actually arrived, is Bungie actually selling
Marathon or just demoing it at Macworld? And, which location are they
at? (Bayside or WTC?) How is it?

The people I spoke with said Marathon is done. However, they are waiting on
packaging and printing. ETA? 3 weeks. They were taking priority orders at
the show. If you ordered from them at the show, you are supposed to get
the first copies shipped.
Marathon looked absolutely incredible!!! And fast, fast, fast! They also
had a headmounted display for Marathon VR (not true stereoscopic, but they
are working on it). Marathon is going to take the Mac world by storm. The
graphics are great, and the play is action oriented (carnage oriented was
the term, I believe).

Doesn't Sensory Overload look like crap compared Marathon? Well, I spoke to the president
of Bungie (or at least that's what his badge said). He sold me a Marathon t-shirt that
said "don't make me kick your ass" or something in the back (the shirt's downstairs right
now) and told me that the game's ready to be shipped next week. Let's hope he's got the
final word on it.
