‘The Case for Gaming’ by Utah Jazz Player Gordon Hayward and How Halo Can Actually Be A Sport
eSports, in particular Halo with their recent showing at the X Games, have been getting dogged for not being a ‘real sport’ since their inception. Gordan Hayward of the Utah Jazz recently wrote an article on The Case for Gaming’s place in sports through the lens of his relationship with gaming and Snip3down (who grew up close to his house) of Halo fame. A great read from an athlete about the future of digital sporting events!(MacGyver10 21:48:07 UTC)

Canon Fodder – Judges and Jurys
Since 343 posts everything late on Friday evenings (east coast represent!), I usually don’t get to share on the day they come out unfortunately.

There is plenty on Cortana’s new look, including a few renders and a Q&A with ‘343 Big Boys’ Tim Longo and Brian Reed. (Thanks puppymonkeybaby!)(MacGyver10 15:30:46 UTC)

Let’s Play Myth Co-op #04 Homecoming
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 an ragtag army in a desperate battle against the forces of the Fallen Lords.
The Head wants us to search a destroyed cathedral in the ruined city of Covenant for a book called the Total Codex.
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.
