We haven’t had a special in a while, but this one deserves it. I was invited to be on the PAX East 2012 special for the Waypoint Community Modcast (link). We had 8 people on the show stuffed into one hotel room filled with German candies. Enjoy

Podtacular 279: Non-information
Download
While we wait for more Halo 4 information to come down the pipe, we take some time to talk about some things going on in the community. The two big talking points discussed on the show are the non-informative responses we received form 343i and the end of the Reach API and online file share. Not that we’re trying to complain, but with 343i taking the reins of Halo, they are legitimate concerns that we have. Enjoy

Podtacular 278: Mailbag Show
Download | Shownotes
On today’s show, we pull out the dusty mailbag and read your comments on the show’s we’ve had over the past couple of weeks. Needless to day, there are lots of opinions and questions out there about the Halo universe and Halo 4. We also have special guest Rob Imbs (Just Rob) who is making a film, Game Changers , based on two professional Halo players who are best friends pursuing different lives around gaming. It is an independent film driven by Indiegogo, similar to Kickstarter. If you like what you hear about the film in the podcast, be sure to head over to their project page and donate to the film. It would be cool if we had a lot of people listening contribute to the project. If you do go over there and donate, be sure to put “Heard on Podtacular” in the comments. Enjoy
Podtacular 277: Armor Lock Discussion
Download
You wanted it, you got it! We discuss armor lock in all of it’s glory and frustration. Being one of the most controversial things in Reach, there’s a lot to say: not just about armor lock, but armor abilities in general and how they have evolved in Halo. There exists a definite split between those who love armor lock and use it, and those who won’t even touch it with a 9-and-a-half foot pole. Joining in on the discussion is Kete from The Running Riot, Old Regime, Greenskull from Ready Up Live, and Slightly Live from Forward Unto Dawn. Enjoy your ears being assaulted for 2+ hours :)

Podtacular 276: MLG Columbus 2012 and Halo 4 Multiplayer Competitive Analysis
Download
The competitive scene is all excited about what was revealed in the Halo 4 news explosion this week: in particular, the return of the BR. However, the future of Halo making an appearance in the MLG Pro Circuit is on the fence. While 343i did appeal to the professional side of e-sports by introducing zero-bloom and bleed-through, there is a lacking presence in the Halo MLG scene. In this show, AnTi Pro from Boss Fight TV and Nak3d Eli from Nak3d Halo help discuss what is needed in Halo 4 to attract the competitive scene and the future of Halo in MLG this year. Enjoy

Podtacular 275: Bulletin Update
Download
The Halo Bulletin this week was filled with many questions that the community had regarding the information release on Halo 4 this week. Unfortunately, we weren’t graced with many answers as 343i is still holding some info up there sleeves. They can’t give us all the details just yet: where’s the fun in that? We did get a few solid pieces of information though which is the topic of discussion in today’s show. Enjoy

Podtacular 274: First Look at Halo 4
Download
Yesterday, the first bulk of Halo 4 news came spewing down the pipes of the internet. There were interviews, analyses, and of course the main attraction: the first look video released by 343i. Of course, we have our own opinions about what we saw. Most of what we watched or read yesterday was good news, but there were definitely a few talking points that has us cautiously optimistic. Joining us for our digest is Kete from The Running Riot and CMNeir and MidgetDance from Halo: Reach Tricks. Enjoy

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
