The Tain

Ah, Hotline. It worked, and then it didn't. But it had a cool icon.

Fuck is a "Discord"?

Seems that Internet Archive batch that was posted in 2023 has all the maps ever made (?), and each with a Read Me that has an accurate creation date:

https://archive.org/details/UltimateMythMaps

One could start there and confirm/post dates for almost every map currently in The Tain.

Agreed. Been missing since the start. Dates help with context, and other stuff.

Hate to bring this up, but I suggest an admin do something about the bizarre campaign "Artilheiro" has been upon, over at the archive. Having played Artilheiro's maps, no doubt a decent mapmaker. But this phony 5-Star stuff isn't good. With excuses that sound like labels on ludicrous Parti...

Well! I see this Internet Archive has a copy of Ninja Dwarfs 2.0. Hadn't seen that in many suns and moons. Just tried it and it's every bit as nuts as I remember. You might be able to do the entire Myth 2 solo in 5 minutes. Balin San of the Dragon Dojo for the win!

So many cool ideas get lost in Hollywood. I was surprised to see The Wheel of Time finally got made. That was floating around for years and went through all kinds of stuff having originally been put into a feature film format (two movies or three). Never seen The Wheel of Time series, but I heard it...

Holy moly! This Internet Archive page is completely off the rails. I don't think I've ever seen so many Myth files in one place. Downloading now! I think this pretty much puts an end to the arcane old "The Mill" archive floating around. That place went away like, 18 years ago? This new arc...

I for one would love to see someone do something to technically convert old TFL stuff to work in Myth 2. Probably because I have way too many old TFL films I can't watch anymore without some emulator eating a hole in my laptop.

Two plugins uploaded, both Thoran "unreleased" maps. Cheers.

Hm. You'd have to be pretty short-sighted these days, to make a Myth *movie*. But a Myth series, perhaps Netflix or Amazon? That's a different story. There's certainly enough material for a minimum of two seasons. Rich and deep. A couple issues with that, however. First, I'm not sure how many of you...

Merci.

Don't know why I didn't think to do this before, but I'll just go ahead and post this Samuel L. Jackson goodness to the archives. Look for it Soonâ„¢.

I've tried both of these, "Tasty" and the oogaBooga-assisted HD verison. Both have large strengths and weaknesses, and add much to the game. Too bad they can't somehow become combined--- but I reckon there's way too much nasty personal politics and fell history to allow for that.

Shame.

Slightly off topic, but anyone remember the wannabe Samuel L. Jackson plugin "BlueMythII"...? Wasn't really Sam, of course, but most of the announcer cues were replaced by a semi-sound-alike chap. Really great stuff, most especially in multiplayer. Definitely R-Rated. Some remembered cues:...
