Let’s Play Myth Co-op #01 Crow’s Bridge
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.
In this first level, a small detachment of soldiers left behind to defend the sleepy village of Crow’s Bridge get a nasty surprise when the enemy’s animated corpses, the Thrall, emerge from the river.
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:

Fan Fiction Friday Is Inspired by Joe Staten’s ‘Shadow of Intent’ This Week With a Piece from Grizzlei
This week, we have a piece of Fan Fiction inspired by Joe Staten’s recent novella, ‘Halo: Shadow of Intent’. Grizzlei takes the perspective of Tul ‘Juran shortly before the events of ‘Shadow of Intent’ in a journal-like format. The piece does contain some minor spoilers for its source material, but is a short bit of text that sheds light on what might have been going through Tul’s mind within, and before, the events of Joe Staten’s novella.
