The latest Community Update and Canon Fodder went live this past Friday, with plenty of info on some previously, un-noted changes (you can change your Spartan ID rotation!), the new file browser and two separate instances of HBOers getting famous (Shout-out to Revenant1988 [Venom ODST from 405th] and TDSpiral [Garrett Post])! You can read about all that and more in this week’s Community Update at HaloWaypoint! (Thanks davidfuchs!)(MacGyver10 20:46:00 UTC)

Let’s Play Myth II: Soulblighter Co-op #08 The Great Library
We’re playing the next of Bungie’s famous franchises, the Real Time Tactics fantasy wargame, Myth. Set in a mysterious land of cyclical war and destruction, Myth lets you command a ragtag army in a desperate battle against the forces of the Fallen Lords.
Once again we must borrow the Total Codex, this time from the reconstructed Great Library.
In this episode we’re once again using the high definition tagset, made by Ooga Booga, Renwood and Road. The Myth Myth HD Total Conversion v1.31 provides higher resolution units.
Due to the tireless work of many community members over the years, the Myth engine has been modernized to work on current operating systems, although you’ll still need a copy of the game’s data files to play. Check Ebay.
For the engine itself as well as texture enhancements, go to Project Magma:
There’s also multiplayer metaserver available for competitive carnage:
A bunch of other Myth-related downloads are available at The Tain:
Intro and outro Music “Into the Breach”
by Martin O’Donnell and Michael Salvatori from Myth The Fallen Lords.
