Well, this episode finally came out, and for once it’s not entirely Dust Storm’s fault. He got upset when he heard a few swear words I missed in editing, then had to spend a few days in the closet before asking me to fix it. Exams and other things happened which prevented recording, and then more things slowed the editing. But never mind that, it’s out now! Joining me on the show is my old co-host Dust Storm, Funnyboy from the community, and your all time favourite CrazyCommie. This episode we talk about the Left 4 Dead 2 campaign Dead Centre, Dust Storm kicks up a cuss storm, and CrazyCommie drops out half way through. The episode clocks in at just under two hours, so there’s lots of fun stuff to listen to. I couldn’t find a song long enough to cover the bloopers, or any good loops. So you just have 16 minutes of straight up silliness. Read More...

Halo 2 Xbox Multiplayer switches off April 15

// ChuckieJ // News // February 5th, 2010 // 4 Comments »

It’s true. The big news we’ve been wondering about and to some degree dreading for months is finally confirmed. Xbox 1 Live Multiplayer will be disabled on April 15, 2010. This is because some features that the Xbox Team wants to add to LIVE are simply incompatible with Original Xbox games.

We know that one of these is bigger friend lists. For myself, as more and more great games come out I want more people, some for Halo, some for MW2, some for Bioshock 2, some for Marvel Ultimate Alliance, etc. Read More...

Podtacular Top 10

// Dust Storm // PodTV // January 19th, 2010 // 11 Comments »

I have been debating this for a while, and I’ve told some people about it last year, but it’s time to make the announcement. Podtacular will have its own Top 10 video series presented by Pod TV. There are plenty of other Top 10 series out there as I’m sure you all are aware of, but I wanted to give Podtacular the chance to have its own, solely for Podtacular. Now, you won’t have to be a Podtacular member to submit; everyone gets a fair chance.

The primary format of the Podtacular Top 10 will be generic with a few themed specials thrown in. Right now, the plan is to have a show every month. I will be the sole judge of the clips until I need or choose to have help. Clips can range from campaign to hilarious mishaps to crazy/skilled kills. Anything goes in terms of game play and multiple clips can be submitted, even ODST.

On Friday, Bungie put a new shirt in the Store which features the Superintendent on the front saying “<<BE A HERO>>”. The back says “Bungie Fans for quake relief – 2010 Haiti”. To be a hero, just buy this shirt and all Bungie’s profits will be donated to the Red Cross. Also, from now until the end of February all of Bungie’s profits from other Bungie Store purchases will also be donated to the Red Cross.

Have you been eyeing that Marathon hoodie like I have been? Get it now and help out in Haiti! When you get yours take a pic of yourself wearing it and post it in this thread that long-time member Queso Man created in the forums! Read More...

// GLewis // News // January 16th, 2010 // 11 Comments »

In the coming weeks the hosts here at Podtacular will be hosting one of those shows every community does, the best games of the previous year show, but we will be doing it later than others. Why you ask? Two reasons; the first reason being we want to take a little break. The second reason is so we can think about all the gems that came out throughout the year. The episode will not only sport our favorite picks of 2009 but will also include yours. Podtacular is going keep it Podtacular even in the new decade; you submit, we read, and we make fun of your submissions. So I hope all of you are encouraged to submit to the up-coming show which will be filled with guests from all around the gaming community; not just us awesome folks here at Podtacular.com. Awesome folks from other websites will (hopefully) be joining us. Read More...
