Podtacular’s Halo 3 Farewell 3v3 Tourney

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.

This episode is very much behind, but in light of recent events, it has to come out to make way for our next show. We have Insane and Roche from our good friends over at Forge Hub discuss their anticipations of what Forge will be like in Halo: Reach. There’s only speculation and hopes at this point, so we dive into the history of Forge Hub and the support from Bungie. A great blooper reel will come out later. Enjoy.

New Bungie Comic-Con Madness

// Dust Storm // News // July 22nd, 2010 // No Comments »

Bungie is at it again, outdoing themselves with more intriguing vidocs, and two of them! Don’t you feel special.

First up, we got some un-boxing action of the different versions of Reach you can get your hands on. And of course there’s the Xbox 360 Slim Reach Edition.

Second up is probably going to give every forger nostalgia until the game actually comes out. A vast majority of space and tools to help every forger. I’m talking different physics, snap angles, rotations, etc. Bungie has really outdone themselves throwing Forge into one gigantic map. This is a must see for everyone.

Around The Ring: Episode 17Download
It’s time for another show! Once again held up in delivery because SOMEBODY never replies to their IMs. Nobody submitted…so it’s your fault we ran out of stuff to talk about. This one is about the update that the Engineer class in Team Fortress 2 received. This show took two takes, but in total with the mishap only took three hours to record. The funnier bits from the failed first take come in at the very start, so you’ll hear those before the actual show starts. Have fun with that intro. Guests on the show include Alchanii, who you’ll remember from the last show we did, and our very own Painkilla who now hosts the Gamer1 podcast. In this episode, we discuss the engineer update, Funnyboy drinks some green tea, and Painkilla levels up in World of Warcraft. It clocks in at 84:47, so you’ll have plenty of fun. 6 minutes of bloopers. No show-notes this week, there’s really nothing much in them. You can look at the album art by clicking on the image, it’s 600X600.

Damian Lacedamian is a talk show host over at This Spartan Life who has decided to graciously give us an interview into the inner workings of TSL and a special sneak peek into what’s coming to Waypoint tomorrow.

Damian also reveals the schedule for their new deal with Waypoint, which will be addressed in a video that will be released on Waypoint as well. You may see a familiar face on there as well ;).
