Fun before Victory.

Done it! Could have gone much better, but the Pillar of Autumn has escaped the Covenant and fallen to me! I have beaten the Mythic Campaign of Halo Reach! :D

Considering giving Lone Wolf some attempts as well. See if I can kill the BOB. lol

Hello, Community!

Hopefully if you're reading this, it's because you're interesting in kicking your campaign experience up a notch by cranking up the Legendary with all skulls activated :-) Need advice? A guide? Maybe even a friendly community to cheer you on and help guide you through the process? Then give our Mythic thread a read, and Godspeed on your Mythic journey!

Best Regards,
The Tyrant

There is no try. There is only "do". Yoda made up "Do not". I like the number 25 for some reason...Alpine for 25!

I feel it's worth mentioning how mighty the Friendly AI acted on my run. Wave one at Holdout had me slaughter Grunts and injure Brutes. But the Marines gave them a mighty battering with their Needle Rifles! If AI Needle Rifles were able to super-combine, I doubt I'd have needed to lift a finger in Wave 1. Two Marines survived to see Keyes arrive...I think one didn't enter combat, but I know for a fact that the other battled the FRG Chieftan briefly... :D

I need more double tap practice for randomness and stuff just to make sure. next weekend sounds plausible then this one.

Alpine! for 25 however. I want to finish on November 7th. My birthday. That day also was the day I got Recon in 2009.

@Eli, Tyrant etc: Do you guys know of any good compression programs that'll keep the video quality high (1080 high) but do the obvious aforementioned compression? I got my HDPVR today and made a new youtube account etc but I'd much rather prefer uploading videos that aren't half a gig in size.


You should make your videos 720p instead of 1080p for a few reasons: first, Halo: Reach is in native 720p; second, 720p is the YouTube standard and what most computers today can handle; third, you'll get fewer dropped frames and smoother capturing. My capture settings are 720p at 59.94 fps, then I compress to 29.97 fps using an h.264 codec. You'll end up w/ a manageable mp4 file that is easily uploaded to YouTube.

I use the Black Magic Intensity Shuttle so I don't know exactly how to setup the HD PVR, but I'd imagine you still want to change your Xbox 360 Settings to 720p to match your capture device.

Tyrant, I knew your ego was big--but not this big!

I loled. Are you that short for money? I'm sure if you asked nicely, people would donate so you could keep making videos. After all, it was a donation that gave you your capture card.

Joking aside, unfortunately, yes. It really is that bad. I'm pulling as many resources together as I can right now.

$25.00 for helping to get credits? I'm sorry Tyrant but for all your awesomeness, people would hardly jump on something like that. If money's really tight, do what my family does and literally squeeze everything out to the very last drop. Shop at random, no-name discount stores with the weird mirrored products from your everday ones. Get cheaper necessities that last longer (e.g. single ply toilet paper comes in massive rolls and lasts easily 2 to 3 times longer.) And so on.

We're all here to help Tyrant. I'm sure we've all been in the dumps before. Pulling yourself out is just a matter of time and willingness to do so.

The reason we moved to Australia is because my parents were that short of money. It's an extremely serious issue.

Halo Reach 2/3rds of the way mythic conqueror (6/9)

While Long Night may be the hardest mission I've discovered that it is very straightforward without to much randomness as long as you take it slow. Also most of the encounters are fairly easy with a lot within your control.

So... how's that mythic tyrant store working out? (just curious)

Also, the key to your situation is perseverance. It going to suck. You may go hungry (not sure how serious your situation is), you may even (god forbid) have to sell the big pretty tv in your living room. But sooner or later you'll pull out of it, and you'll realize that tings weren't nearly as bad as you thought. Good luck.

Halo Reach 2/3rds of the way mythic conqueror (6/9)

In 39 minutes I got all the way to double tap ZERO deaths. I usually have 1 or 2 by then from comms but not this time.

Here's the stats if you're interested.

  • 10.02.2011 6:14 PM PDT

Congratulations to our newest conqueror, and best of luck Alpine!

Also, Tyrant, those prices are a little steep... No matter, it will just make my own offerings more attractive when I undercut you. >:)

For those who are curious, I want to use the majority of money received to go back into the Mythic community. I would love to be able to afford prizes and such for those who successfully conquer Mythic and do other great things for the community.

I can no longer afford to use my own funds for this. Believe me, I would if I could. I've cut back as much as I can at this point. My options are drying up.

No, those prices are NOT final, but it's going to take a bit more collaboration to get things on the right track.

Thank you again for everyone's continued support. Simply having you guys here on a day to day basis means the world to me, and your continued support is the very reason I continue to be apart of this awesome community :-)

What do you pay for in the mythic community? This is free, twitter and youtube is free, and the only thing left is Halo.bungie.org. Your website costs money for server hosting but other than what else?

EDIT: occasionally when I don't go for solace on Saturday it it is because of martial arts that I get taught that takes up my evening play time on Fridays/today. Having a break and no practice sometimes leaves me sloppy. Even a day makes me sloppy. SO to solve this I am going today and Staurday to practice on Friday.

Oh ho ho, behind the scenes prices are what ends up getting you. Before he had a capture card, rendering via Bungie.net was the way to go, which gets rather expensive over time. He took a trip to HaloFest, while it was very fun as I can imagine, it also helped spread the word of Mythic. He also had to pay for the studio equipment he used for making his videos, such as greenscreen, software, etc. The money he loses by investing extra time into the Mythic community perhaps at a cost to the time allotted for work. As well as a few other things I'm not sure Tyrant would like to disclose. I also know that Tyrant has been working on a short film for quite some time which requires actors and props, which gets expensive. I know that that project is something he's been looking forward to and working on for quite some time, and I'm sure the expenses have been a factor on holding him back.

Overall, it can be quite time consuming and expensive to run a constant stream of videos. While I agree that perhaps some of the prices on some items may need to be tweaked, I believe that it is a great idea that Tyrant has set up a website to help bring in a few bucks on the side for his hard work. If for nothing else other than a place for followers to donate, it can't hurt, and can only help him.

Also, Tyrant and I were talking about his website for a little while now and I'm a little excited that it's now up.

P.S. - I totally had a dream last night that we had a HaloFest type thing dedicated to Mythic, and the Mythic community came to it from all over the world... pretty cool... we all got to finally meet and such... then I woke up with an ear infection and a Midterm to take in 1 hour.

Thanks for the support :-)

I did a little price tweaking last night to something that would be a bit more reasonable. Instead of charging per achievement or challenge, it's simply per hour. I can't go lower than that simply because it's already less than an hour of overtime at the office. If I'm sacrificing OT to play Halo, I need to find a way to compensate for the loss.

Hopefully folks will find those prices a bit more reasonable.

We could probably organize something, if we can get some cash flow into the community. I mean, we wouldn't be able to pay everyone's airfare or anything but we could probably rent out a space somewhere for us to all meet up and maybe play some halo together in the flesh. We'll discuss this again if funds become available.
