Sci-fi Royalty Loves Halo
There are a handful of science fiction universes that eclipse all others in terms of popularity, and possibly the granddaddy of them all is Star Trek! Rod Roddenberry, the son of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, recently did an AMA on Reddit, and when asked what his favorite video game is, he gave an answer relevant enough to be posted on HBO! Thanks for the heads up, Toby Dillman!(MacGyver10 15:06:55 UTC)

Canon Fodder – What Front Page?

ASE Ep. 167 Marathon Tempus Irae 31 KMG-365
Narcogen and Blackstar wake up after the destruction of the Pfhor ship.
So this video is level 31 KMG-365, which is basically just a terminal anyway. When all the episodes are posted I will re-order them so they appear chronologically as played.
We’re fighting the Pfhor in Italy of the past in third party scenario Tempus Irae!
Tempus Irae can be played, like the other Marathon games, using the open source Aleph One engine which you can get here for Windows, Mac and Linux:
Tempus Irae and other third party scenarios for the Aleph One engine can be downloaded here:
http://source.bungie.org/scenarios.php#more
There’s a ZIP format archive here:
http://nardo.bungie.org/alephone.php
Direct link:
http://nardofiles.bungie.org/Tempus_Irae.zip
We use irons’ Co-Op script, (but not this time) which gives weapons and ammo to both players if either picks any up, and prevents weapon loss on death (so items can’t be destroyed in lava or slime). The script also allows one player to teleport to a destination set by themselves or their partner, in case co-op players run into a problem a solo player would have to restart for.

Tempus Irae has its own spoiler guide:

The Surprising Twists of Red vs Blue
Really not doing very well at consistent reporting, but hey… it’s summer! Three weeks ago, we mentioned that Rooster Teeth had released Red vs Blue Season 13 Episode 15 – ‘Armonia, Part One’. Since then, they’ve released Armonia, Part Two (Doyle acts in a surprising manner), All or Nothing (Locus shows a surprising level of morality), and Great Destroyers (knives provide some surprises). Things are really heating up – just two more episodes! (There was also a PSA – this one should help you narrow down the choices for the next movie to watch.) Go catch up!(Louis Wu 06:26:24 UTC)
