The incredible Myth game and the online community that sprung up around it was one of those happy occasions where I realized that the $30 I just plunked down for the game had actually bought me an entrance into a world.
I quit playing about the time M$ bought them out, and there was this incredible feeling in the community of betrayal, since Bungie had always been a Mac-first game developer (they had developed Marathon, a pretty damn good FPS when there was none available for the Mac).
It feels a bit like my old high school is being torn down. (sniff, sniff)
Hats off to all the players, mapmakers, webmasters, mod creators(especially Santa's Head), and anyone else who made that goofy game a great experience.
Hey, that's my submission. If you're gonna pull a quote, at least leave in the attribution so I can bask in the vicarious karma. It should read:
adso writes 'Macintosh' and 'Cluster' aren't two words you see together very often. Some enterprising folks at USC have created a cluster of 76(!) dual-processing G4s (56 DP G4/533 + 20 DP G4/450). You can check the info here . Glad to see parallel computing isn't just for the *nix crowd (well, they are running OSX, so technically...). I wonder if they just had 76 G4s lying around, or else there must be some very upset department secretaries. "
