I'd like to take this moment to coin the acronym YAHM, for the express purpose of reporting this sort of item. IMG reports that The Mac Observer has posted a reportedly higher quality version of the MWNY Halo demo, which they claim is superior to the Gamespot version currently floating around (in it's many reincarnations).
Currently at 183 votes, this week's poll will be closing tomorrow evening, hopefully with 200 votes in it. It'll be a close one right to the finish, to be sure... if you haven't yet, get your vote in now.
Watch for the dissection of the results (and some discussion about them) around this time tomorrow night. Might just have something interesting to talk about...
Dave at Halo Central is looking for questions for a new FAQ, so if you've got something to ask, stop on by. While you're at it, be sure to send a copy here, too--the more the merrier.
Though various issues have been really stirring up the water in the Myth community, the Halo front remains fairly quiet. Nearly two weeks since the launch (incredible that we're still running on that infusion of news), and still no new screenshots or sign of the rumored official trailer. Lean pickings until then, I'm afraid...
In a brief, but much needed forum post, Bungie's Nathan Bitner offers a few words of wisdom:
Look, we don't even know here who would have said that. So take anonymous sources with a grain of salt. Lord knows, you guys should have learned that by now. ;)And by the way, for what it's worth, it's infinitely easier to port TO the Mac than FROM the Mac; perhaps that's the answer to many of your questions.
In light of the below Gamespot article, and the public response to it, I've been spurred into writing a rant about the platform politics involved. I'm not out to stomp on toes here-I do support Apple and my platform of choice, but I think some people are going about doing likewise in a poor way.
As posted at Marathon's Story, Gamespot has posted a slightly biased article on the state of Mac gaming following the Macworld Expo in New York. And, of course, Halo is in the limelight. It's stirring up a bit of controversy on the sites and forums, and is worth taking a look at.
