Believe it or not, there's Myth news today. Over at MythForums there are two news items; one about an update to the Myth 2 FAQ, adding information about the community game servers that replaced Bungie.net; the other is the launch of Myth Gazetteer, a site that aims to be a meta-directory for Myth maps; they've got 500 so far. Thanks vinylrake.

Halo: Master And Chief
I've been fairly bored over the summer, so ive put together a roundup of my work on transcribing, and this time ive done more than just send u a bunch of PDF files.

Which CE Map Do Mac Users Want?
Halo Mac Development wants to know which Halo Custom Edition maps you want ported for use with Mac Halo. They are only doing one at a time because conversions are complex, and to ensure that people can find servers to play on.
Halo CE Map Ported To Mac Halo
bobindashadows has posted over at Halo Mac Development that after a couple of weeks of work, he has successfully converted a map created for Halo CE, in this case the desert island map by ZexGX to work with Halo for the Mac.
Five screenshots accompany the story, showing ZexGX's map clearly running in Aqua windows.
They Could Tell You, But Then They'd Have To Kill You
Hellface has posted in the Gearbox Forum something that appears to be about the Halo Editing Kit. We're not really sure... but the thrust of it seems to be that there may (or may not) be something good going on, but if there is, and they aren't SURE it's going on, they aren't going to tell us. The moderators might (or might not) know about it, but if they do, they can't tell anyone, and if they do, they're in trouble.

Pathways Site Adds Info On Demo A1
Bungie games never die, but they do live on in websites that use frames. You have been warned.
However, if you're in the mood for a blast from the past, check out the Pathways Into Darkness page at Bungie.org, where Hamish Sinclair, who maintains that page as well as the compendious and excellent Marathon Story Page, has added information on the A1 demo version of Pathways Into Darkness that was released way back in July of 1993 before MacWorld Boston that year.
