    I think the big question is, will they include fun with the 1.4 patch?

  2. Bad time to be the FNG by Badmovies · · Score: 3, Funny

    Myth would be one of the worst games to be the FNG. I don't know how many times a wight has managed to get too close for comfort, despite my archers. Quickly picking out somebody with no battle honors, the veterans tell him to, "Go kill that thing, be a man." Then they duck, because big chunks of exploding wight and a red splatter (that used to be the new guy) are inbound.

    Since when does slashdot post game updates?

    Especially updates of games released in 1998!

    Maybe we can expect to see Halo finally! Go Bungie!
