Unfortunately Major Nelson has just announced a new pricing scheme for Xbox Live. You can see the new priceing below. As bad as this is, I’m going to be super optimistic and suggest that this may allow massive improvements to XBL. What those could be I can’t say but hopefully they’ll bring us better features than twitter and facebook.

I have been reworking some of the podcast feeds since we have three separate podcasts with a few more to come. The Podtacular feed has been offline for a while during this change. iTunes has been updated to point to the correct feed and both new episodes are now up on iTunes. For anyone who subscribes manually, the new feed address for Podtacular is http://feeds.feedburner.com/podtacular/podtacular. Gamer 1 has it’s feed on iTunes as well and can be found at http://feeds.feedburner.com/podtacular/gamer1. Around the Ring will be available later this week. Thanks for the patience.

Halo Reach is 7 weeks away and Podtacular hasn’t hosted a tourney in quite some time. So to break the silence, we are throwing a Halo 3 3v3 Tourney for everyone. Anyone can participate and there will be prizes awarded to the winners. Without further delays, let’s see the details.

Red vs. Blue dropped in to announce that the icon of Blood Gulch is back in Halo Reach. Plus, it’s a lot bigger than before. The Rocket Hog is now in Halo Reach. So everyone that was nostalgic about Blood Gulch can go celebrate in their hole. Bungie Link

Most (if not everyone) has noticed that we have not produced a show in quite some time. This is primarily due to end of college for the hosts and Dust Storm getting a summer job. A few things are going to change for the summer. Since there is not much to talk about until we get more info on Halo: Reach (except that it comes out on September 14th) we will be cutting back on production of the podcast and focus on bringing the site and clans up to date. We will still be doing shows, but only every-other week, unless we have special guests. We do have two special guests coming up this next month. The first is CMNeir from Halo 3 Tricks and later, we will have someone from ForgeHub. Throughout the summer, we will read any and all customs, frags, tales and voicemails for the appropriate show, so send stuff in whenever you feel like it.

We always try to let the community try to give back in their own ways, and one of our members Funnyboy is doing just that. He is doing a show centered around the Podtacular Forums and the community members, trying his luck at podcasting and possibly getting the “official” tag to his show. He’s having a little rough start, so go support his efforts by listening to his latest show that he posted Monday. You can find the podcast on iTunes or go to his podbean site.

As Halo 2 on XBOX Live comes to a close, the Podtacular staff takes time to remember what made Halo 2 so fun. Halo 2 was the building block for Podtacular and holds many fond memories for some of our closest community members. So for those who were around waaay back in the day, take up your battle rifle as we salute Halo 2.

For those who haven’t joined us before now, Podtacular is reminiscing in the game that started the community back in the days of foo. For the next three days, we will be hoping on XBOX Live and playing Halo 2 until the Live service for the original XBOX ceases. If you want to be a part of the action, make sure you have Halo 2 (on the XBOX) and all the DLC. Then search for and message these gamertags: Dust Storm 051, chuckiej, brentgamer. Whenever Dust Storm is on, he will be broadcasting on Justin.tv. Watch the Podtacular Twitter for an announcement that he is streaming live.

If you have any last minute shopping you want to do, or just want to show your support, head on over to the Podtacular Spreadshirt store. Krunk has made a nice shirt design celebrating 200 episodes of Podtacular goodness. If you have a chance, head on over and take a look.
