Let’s Play Myth II: Soulblighter Co-op #03 Down A Broken Path
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.
One of the Ruriks wants us to save his town’s mayor. But first, we have to see some frogs about some deer…
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.

‘I’m Here to Give the Covenant Back Their Cake.’ – Halo and Cake Wars?
There have been some pretty outlandish products made under the ‘Halo banner’ of 343, but I’m not sure I ever saw the marriage of Halo and the TV show, Cake Wars.

Kotaku Get All Nostalgic for A Great Trailer from Halo 3: ODST
There’s been few video game trailers that I would consider art or capable of conveying emotion well, but Halo through the years has seemed to do quite well with their promotion pieces. Kotaku just put up a piece on ‘We Are ODST’, and talks about the trailer in detail, even pointing out things I hadn’t noticed before! This is probably my second favorite trailer, right behind the simple diorama trailer with Chopin’s chilling ‘Raindrop’ prelude from the Halo 3 ‘Believe’ campaign.
