Sligfantry’s Bridge Banshee Grab Could Shave Time Off Your AOTCR Speedrun!
After some time off last week to get sick and not work on the house like planned, there should be more regular posts each day like this one from Sligfantry! Looks like he found a way to grab the banshee on AOTCR from the FIRST bridge. Rockslider looks to have been able to do it before, but they both do seem to employ different techniques. Give his post a read for the details and how you can shave time off those Halo: CE speed runs!(MacGyver10 18:30:25 UTC)

A Window? Just on its own?
It’s that time again! Rooster Teeth has released a trailer for Red vs Blue Season 14 – we’re still a few weeks away from the actual season, but this should give you a sense of what’s coming. Or… maybe not. (It’s pretty odd, in the typical RT-funny-weird style that makes you laugh and shake your head at the same time.)(Louis Wu 18:11:44 UTC)

Let’s Play Myth Co-op #12 Shadow of the Mountain
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.
Battle survivors make a desperate last stand on a lonely mountaintop, surrounded by fallen comrades brought back to life by the Dark and turned against them.
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.
Myth developed by Bungie Software Corporation, currently trademark owned by Take Two.
