Starting the 1.8 NewsBlitz, need help

As I've done in updates past, starting Monday I am going to be getting in touch with various computer websites to promote the 1st Public Beta of Myth 2 1.8, hopefully to get more exposure to people who don't normally frequent Myth related sites anymore, used to play, and maybe even get some more people hooked.
Here are the sites I have in my list from 1.7.2's NewsBlitz. I realize that I am heavy on the Apple side, so if anyone has some PC or Linux sites they think would be good or any Apple ones I missed post them.

Seems worth at least waiting for the final version... still bugs to fix and having them reported again at this stage isn't useful.

The coming soon/beta news is linked on
Moddb. When it's a final release stick it up. We could do with more articles and mod pages for Myth 2 on there but hey.

I agree with punk... its bad news to promote people to download a beta that haven't been playing myth for years...
patience ... gather your materials make some videos and gather screenshots and game films .. when 1.8 comes out then release your material on the various sites...

Is there a link or news body you have? I can assist, as in getting the post featured on some good blogs. Through a pm!
Ps: if you really want it to blitz the internet your need some glittery graphics or infographs too.

you are welcome.
ps. this is just a commentary on thinking that waves of players are going to rush back to a 15 year old game because there is a new version released. (so to be clear this is NOT a commentary on the release itself (which I think is impressive and has a lot of good stuff in it) or the developers (who deserve free beer and gratitude) or the work they've done to make Myth even better)

No I didn't "lose" anything. You completely lost the point of the infographic. But thanks for playing.
