Podtacular 272: Game of the Year 2011
Download
Last year was the year of more sequels, and we definitely had our fair share of games to play. In this week’s show, we decide on our picks for the best shooter of the year and then our favorite non-shooter. Except for a few classic podcast derailment segments, there are some good discussions about what made us choose the games we chose as our top picks for 2011. GLewis makes his re-appearance to the show, Brent Gamer surfaces for this show, and we bring on our new co-host DaftLink to make our choices. Enjoy

Podtacular 271: Protect the Internet
Download | Shownotes
There’s been a strong opposition to two bills that have been brought up to the Senate and the House of Representatives that has been getting quite the amount of attention. For all of our non-American listeners, this may be news to you and not of much importance now, but it is something that we feel needs to be addressed and dealt with properly. The two bills in question are the Stop Online Piracy Act and the Protect IP Act, both of which, due to successful outcries by the US public are now put on hold, but it doesn’t end here. Former Co-host and now Community Manager of the Electronic Consumers Association, JVB is here to discuss what these bills mean and how they effect us as gamers. The shownotes contain some links that we discuss in the show and that you should take a look at. Enjoy

MLG is a professional gaming league where the best-of-the-best come to compete and show off their skills. If you have never heard of it or watched an event, you’re missing out.

That is why AnTiPRO (MLG Photographer/Boss Fight TV), JakFireDragon (Cyberline Films), and Cheeky (Former THO Infamous Coach/Halo Nation) are here to talk about the future of the Halo franchise in the realm of MLG.

Podtacular 265: CEA Multiplayer Speculation

This week, we have JVB on the show, the previous co-host of Podtacular. Unfortunately, there was an issue with the recording, so a lot of the one-on-one conversation we had at the beginning of the show was lost. In a nutshell, JVB has continued to put out the Post Game Report over at Talking About Games, he has, since leaving Podtacular, he has started The Bad Dudes Lifecast and his own solo podcast. He is also the community manager over at Entertainment Consumers Association. We also have late guest hosts Kete from The Running Riot and Rukizzel from the Waypoint forums. The remaining of the show that we managed to record includes us talking about the latest Halo Bulletin, which we plan to do on a weekly basis on future episodes. Finally, we talk about the multiplayer maps we will see in Halo CEA. Enjoy
