‘So, on Cairo we were never able to launch all the way from the bottom back up to the station because it was simply too far. But with the new skull (Feather) that drastically increases the distance you can launch I have been able to do it. And, it’s an especially cool setup being able to get a launch checkpoint down there in single player by beating down an invincible Miranda Keyes and creating a ton of plasma grenades (with Pinata Skull).’(MacGyver10 15:23:15 UTC)

Canon Fodder – Stand Your Ground
GrimBrother One swung by his old haunts last Friday to let us know about the latest Canon Fodder! It’s a fairly juicy one too as it spends a lot of time on the upcoming ground-expansion for Halo: Fleet Battles called Halo: Ground Command. In a surprisingly non-corporate-sounding move, Grim also interviews the fans behind the Sins of the Prophet’ mod of Sins of A Solar Empire: Rebellion. Lots of good stuff in the recent Canon Fodder!(MacGyver10 15:14:26 UTC)

Let’s Play Myth Co-op #14 Forest Heart
We’re playing the next of Bungie’s famous games, 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.
The Legion seeks the aid of the Forest Giants to fight the Dark, but runs into Soulblighter instead.
In this episode we’re once again joined by Ooga Booga, one of the authors of the high definition tagset, along with 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.
