There's a nice retrospective on the Marathon series today over at Reg Hardware. Thanks to Louis Wu at HBO for the heads-up.
By looking at the amount of reads on blogs posted before Narcogen's most recent blogs versus the amount of reads on those authored after, one can see that if you wish one's blog to be read, one should release it following one of Narcogen's.(Wow, that was a long sentence.)
Hoping to get the word out about this: http://rampancy.net/blog/LEGO_Allied_Forces/17/09/2011/Request_Deliver_H...
Not to go unnoticed in the glow of Bungie's 20th anniversary ViDoc, the MariusNet community-run Myth multiplayer server is celebrating its tenth anniversary on August 6th.
From Marius.net comes the rather unexpected news that a new, native port of Myth II v1.7.2 is coming to Linux, produced by ProjectMagma. It scores over the older port produced by Loki Software in that it is intended to be network compatible with the existing Windows and OS X versions currently available.
For those interested in helping beta test it, check out this forum thread.
Teaser trailer for the sequel to Bungie's award-winning real time tactics game Myth-- Myth 2: Soulblighter.
This behind-the-scenes video on the development of Myth appeared on a MacAddict disc in 1997. It looks mostly at work to record voice actors, even including a scene where Bungie founder Jason Jones gives dwarven line-readings to Rob O'Donnell, the voice of the Surly Dwarf, father of Marty O'Donnell, one half of the composing team of O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori that produced the soundtracks to both the Myth and Halo series of games developed by Bungie.
Released in 1997, 2012 will mark the 15th anniversary of Myth.
The Tain has posted Myth II 1.7.2b2 in several flavors: Windows, Mac Universal, and Mac PowerPC. It's not an installer, just the application itself, so you need to have Myth II 1.7.1 already installed. For the terminally curious, there's a changelog.
like the title says, also one of these for Farthest Outpost would be helpful.
Thanks,

If you're looking to get your Marathon on and you don't have the XBLA port, the open source project Aleph One is still going strong. The latest update makes changes to the Lua scripting engine and adds HUD enhancements similar to the one in the XBLA version.
Aleph One runs on Macs, Linux, oh, and Windows, too.
The Bungie.net group For Carnage Apply Within, which plays classic Bungie games Marathon and Myth every week, notes that Project Magma has released version 1.70 of Myth II. Some info about the patch:
It's difficult to find words to express the privilege I feel to have been involved in this site and to have been a fan of Bungie for more than fifteen years and of Halo now for ten.
A camrip from Halo's debut at MacWorld in New York in June 1999. This version in particular records the audience reaction.
MacWorld has mentioned Marathon as one of the best games on the Mac, as part of their commemoration of the Mac's 25th anniversary.
