Hello fellow gamers and welcome to the video gamers podcast.

Marathon has been a long time coming and has gone through its share of trials and tribulations.

But the game is out and we've been playing the heck out of it.

Is it good?

How does it fit into the extraction shooter genre?

And can it coexist with Arc Raiders?

Well, we're going to tell you whether Marathon is actually good. What makes it unique, and if it's worth your time and money to check out.

But before we get to that, some introductions are in order.

I am your host, Josh, and joining me, he's my medic extraordinaire.

When he remembers to send out his med bots it's ryan i don't i don't like

these wild accusations you're throwing out right now i may forget from time to time to send

out my med bots but i but i always try to keep everybody stocked up. But also, uh, if,

if you, uh, send, uh, notes of encouragement to me, you get a bot for first, for sure.

Ryan is easily bribable with who gets the first med bot seven minutes into the match when he

remembers that, oh yeah, I'm supposed to put these things off Oh, yeah, these are for other people. Here you go.

Drop them some biomass and it's yours. You're getting healing all. Yeah, there you go.

All right. Well, that voice you heard, joining us. We've got a very special guest with us,

a master of extraction shooters because he told us he played a lot of escape from Tarkov.

He's the infamous Falcon, but we call him friend. It's Matt. Hey, guys. That was a lot nicer

than I was expecting. I'm not going to lie. He threw me for a loop there. A tiny little jab

at your, you know, your escape from Tarkov background, but, you know, we can't, we can't bring you on the show your first time, Matt, and then just like mercilessly troll you. That's what I was expected, man. We would, right, Ryan? We would never do that. Never, ever, ever. I'm excited to be here, man. Thank you for having me.

Dude, I mean, honestly, we know it's always a little like intimidating for somebody to be like, hey, do you want to come on to this really, really successful podcast?
