Hello, and welcome to another episode of Talk This! It’s Dangerous to Podcast Alone. This week, we’re talking about Soulcalibur and Marathon. Let’s gear up for the long haul but expect the short one.
As always, you can listen to our podcast basically anywhere. Check it out on Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Spotify, or Pandora (or head over to our episodes page for even more options). Or just listen below!
Soulcalibur
Soulcalibur (which technically started as Soul Edge or Soul Blade in 1995) is a series of weapon-based fighting games from Namco – now Bandai Namco – with an emphasis on 3D movement. Many skilled fighters clash together, seeking one sword that’s either great or terrible depending on who you listen to. You can defeat your opponent by depleting their health or by pushing them out of the ring.
Marathon
Marathon is a 2026 multiplayer extraction shooter from Bungie, finally released after many developmental problems which will only continue in new ways going forward. As a Runner, figure out what’s going on in Tau Ceti IV by fulfilling contracts for various factions and building up your loot and weapons – until you inevitably lose it all in either a terrible run or just at the end of the season.
