Marty Answers the Big Questions of the Universe
This past weekend, not only did Marty show up on HBO, but he took the time to answer questions on DBO as well. There’s some really great stuff in there, and a lot of it is about Halo of course (check this out for info on the originals of ‘Wort Wort Wort’ and Joe Staten’s grunty voice!) Also, if you’re still interested in supporting a working musician, from the time of this posting, there’s still 36 hours to back Marty’s Kickstarter!(MacGyver10 14:08:28 UTC)

Let’s Play Myth Co-op #13 Seven Gates
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.
Enemy columns clash before us on the lava plains left behind by the volcano’s eruption. Trapped ahead of us is the shade Scaripant, whom we must find and dispatch.
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.
