1. It's always interesting to me how many people come at Marathon without even questioning wether they will use a mouse for look.

I was keyboard-only for years, and there were certain maps (but only certain maps) where this hurt me significantly against the person I played against the most.

2. When thinking about the place it had in the zeitgeist, ignoring the multiplayer is missing at least half of it, but I don't know how you can experience that aspect of the importance of the game today. Like many nacient corners of online things "I guess you has to be there".

I am in 100% agreement with this point.

3. Is that how everyone pronounces Durandal?

Absolutely not. (Accent on the second syllable, not the third.)
