Once more it is time to dust off the old Myth cd and and put on your flame proof suit as it is Myth World Cup time again! The tradition of Myth World Cup has remained steady for 14 years now. That's quite revealing about the lasting power of this riveting community of ours!
This year the number of teams will be capped at 8 (although if we get more active teams than that, the cap can change). The player limit will be set at 10 for now, but most likely it shall be increased later on to accomodate the influx of players. The format of the tournament is going to follow the more traditional MWC format, unlike last year. The duration of the tournament is going to be few weeks shorter, but it'll be as fun as always! There are some changes to the usual rules of the tournament however as times have changed, but nothing too extravagant. My goal this year is to get rid of forfeits and matches where teams have low turnouts. The rule changes are aimed towards this end.
Head on over to the MWC forums to begin your usual Myth jibber jabber and register your team (at the forums) for Myth World Cup 2012! The registration will remain open until the end of May and the tournament will start on the first weekend of June!

Aleph One 1.0 Released
We're proud (and relieved) to announce the 1.0 release of Aleph One. Nearly 12 years since Bungie released the source code for Marathon 2, it's finally feature-complete with the original engine and polished enough to deserve the 1.0 label. New features include full Marathon 2 and Infinity film support, including drag-and-drop; numerous improvements to the interface; OpenGL (Shader) fixes; new Lua features, and of course, bug fixes.
Accompanying this release we have a new set of data files for each of the games. Marathon has been completely updated to make it as true to the original as possible in the engine in its current state, removing M1A1's weird opening, extra secret levels, and changes to puzzles; and emulating the behavior of Marathon's triggered battles are closely as we can in Aleph One. Marathon 2 includes the full HD graphics upgrades featured in the Xbox LIVE Arcade game Marathon: Durandal, which Bungie and Freeverse have generously allowed us to distribute. Marathon Infinity includes goran's HD wall textures and landscapes, and the XBLA weapons graphics.
Each of the the three games also comes with its own theme, a widescreen HUD, and a new icon. We've changed the way they're distributed, too: they're now available as all-in-one apps for the Mac, and all-in-one zip files for Windows. Just download, unzip/mount, and double click.
http://marathon.sourceforge.net/ is up to date and should help you get the files you need. If you want to read detailed release notes for the 1.0 release, they are available at http://marathon.sourceforge.net/release-notes/20111201.html
Our thanks go out to everyone who has helped Aleph One and the Marathon trilogy get to this point!

Ever find yourself far from a computer but wondering who is on mariusnet? Well, now there's an app for that!
Thanks to Spongefile's new app you can see now see who's online, and what games are being played on mariusnet, all from the ease of your iOS device (iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch).
Check it out and download it for free from Apple's app store.
Here's what the games viewer screen looks like:
Well done, Spongefile!
ps. a couple of notes from the app's creator:
Note:
1. If the games screen is blank, that's because there are no games running. Go start some.
2. If you don't have an internet connection, this app won't work, for reasons that should be obvious.

Project Magma is proud to announce the release of Myth II 1.7.2 for Linux.
No longer will Linux players have to resort to using Wine or booting into Windows to take advantage of the latest improvements to Myth II or to play online with other players. Instead, they can now enjoy the same native Myth II experience alongside existing Windows and Mac players of the game.
The Linux release of Myth II 1.7.2 is fully compatible with Myth II 1.7.2 on other platforms, allowing it to run the latest plugins available on The Tain and to play online on Mariusnet.
Download the Myth II 1.7.2 Linux Installer or the Linux Demo today. The Myth II 1.7.2 Linux installer can be used to upgrade an existing Myth II installation or to install the updated version directly using an original Myth II CD.
Going forward, we expect future updates to the game to be released on all three platforms simultaneously.
