In the past decade, the gaming scene has changed dramatically. We saw the introduction of the Xbox and Halo, and the main competitors were Nintendo and Sony Entertainment. Graphics has had a dramatic improvement, 3D gaming has become the norm, and game music has evolved from 8-bit to orchestra and all-out rock. For this episode, we venture into our pasts of gaming over the past decade and visit some memorable moments. Former host JVB joins us along with guests ChuckieJ and AceofSpadesCard. We have some nice commentary from ChuckieJ as he goes through his list of big games and Brent has his Top 5 pick of the decade which will accompany this post shortly. Thanks to everyone who submitted their favorites and enjoy.

Around The Ring: The Random Show!

// Lancelot // News // February 11th, 2010 // 2 Comments »

Before I start, I’d like to say that I won’t record this show till I get a decent number of submissions. That way we have lots to talk about. It won’t interfere with the Left 4 Dead shows. Anyhow:

Guess what! It’s a new show topic! No topic at all! Sort of.

I’ve decided to have a little fun with the show. I’ll only record this one when I have enough submissions, so tell everyone you know. Send in anything you think will be funny. Some suggestions for topics are:

Halo Themed 1 vs 100 Friday

// Dust Storm // News // February 11th, 2010 // 1 Comment »

The season 2 finale of 1 vs. 100 is Halo themed. Come test your Halo knowledge and see how much of a Halo junkie you truly are. Special guests in the studio include audio director Marty O’Donnell and 343 Industries’ Frank “Frankie” O’Connor. So get pumped and represent Podtacular.

Original XBOX DLC Revived

// Dust Storm // News // February 11th, 2010 // No Comments »

Microsoft has decided to put the original XBOX DLC back up on the marketplace. This means the Halo 2 DLC is back up and awaiting your download. We’re planning on doing a big event of some kind near the end of the original service cut off, so while you’re at it, pick up a copy of Halo 2 if you don’t have it.
