Tbone110

Hello its Tbone110 Podtaculars favorite over priced steak. Just wanted to say I just had a great idea for a map where one person has to drive multiple people spread throughout the map to one safe zone. If he doesnt transport them in time the ones that didnt make it will be killed by spawning objectis. Okay well that’s it… wait one more thing the last map I submited was scraped because I made a better version of it. Okay now goodbye.

HeroicPopcorn

This is my failed fraggin frickin trucks that you have failed to read (I look at Duststorm and think that hes mean.)
You will not be spared!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep on fraggin trucks that should tell dustorms mom that he has a watch making factory in his closet. I know this because a midget who ran away swallowed a watch and Foo Moo’s folding bike. After being arrested he pooped out the watch to kill the gaurd and take his keys and cheese then pooped out the folding bike. While he was trying to tell someone when he met chuck norris who is carrying a special assault rifle and wearing anus armour and he said “tell HeroicPopcorn.”

Hi podtacular, I do not have a xbox, but i have halo combat evolved. i was wondering if it is worth it for me too just get a normal xbox with halo 2, or get a 360 with halo 3 (i would have too save my money for a long time)?

keep on truckin frags

(P.S. this is my first submision)

Greg

Halo 3 had $170 million in sales on its first day(broke a first day sell record)(you asked what the sales were on the last episode).It had 1.7 million preorders(thats a lot).More than 1.4 million gamers logged into Xbox Live to play Halo 3(wow). I would have found more but it just wont let me find newer info on the internet.(sites so i dont get yelled at by the people running the sites) http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/823/823255p1.html

Im not very good at halo wars so instead ill do a random frag advice. If their is flood use vehicles that way you dont add to the floods army.

tylerthet3

Hello, fellow members of Podtacular. This is tylerthet3 here once again.

I have an interesting statistic for you brought to you by Halopedia. Based on the facts that the population of Earth was 6 billion in 1999 and had a population growth of 1.17% (an odd statistic) per year, the amount of humans in 2525 would be 272.5 billion. This statistic leaves the questions just how many people died during the Human-Covenant War and what was the population of Earth during that time.

Furthermore, in response to Episode 198, Lars Bakken said to a gaming website (not sure which one) that Halo: Reach would be their last Halo game.

I apologize for the long submission.
Shout outs to all hosts and guest hosts.
Keep on truckin’ frags.

JDubb 120

Hey this is JDubb 120 and this is my first ever submission to Podtac. Well first of all, I think you guys would be glad to hear that I actually know correct grammar unlike most of the idiots who submit that can’t spell or somehow was taught that sentences do not require periods at the end of them. Then you guys sound like retards and get the fail boat for trying to read their incoherent thoughts. Well anyways I’m a mechanical engineering major at Alabama…Freshman (sigh). Well my gamertag is JDubb 120, so let’s party up some time and play some halo. The podcast is F’ing hilarious. Shout-outs to GLewis and Brent Gamer for the MLG Update, it has got some great LMAO pieces in there. Also shout-outs to Dust Storm, ChuckieJ, and the rest of the hosts for a great podcast.

Keep on fraggin’ trucks while Mackeo nom noms on Brent Gamer’s various body parts as JakFireDragon’s mom pleasures a midget while riding Foo Mo’s folding bike.

stallmeplease

Hey podtacular! It is the official watch stealer of podtacular, stallmeplease, and I am here to anounce the winner of the watch stealing competition, SamerS60!!!!!
So here it goes.
It was a dark and stormy night in Washington D.C. There was a dark mass that just ran across the front lawn of the white house. Suddenly the guards at the front door were knocked out. As the mass came into the light you could tell it was the most awsome person in the world, stallmeplease. He was on a mission to get the famous red, white and blue watch. Quickly, he picked the lock on the front door and stepped inside. He dashed down the hall and up the steps. The guard at the top of the stairs shot, missing stallme. Stallme then knocked the guard out. As he started walking away, he noticed a shine on the guards wrist. Stallme took the beautiful watch from the guard and then started to walk to the main goal, Barak Obama’s red, white and blue watch. As he headed into the dark bedroom he could see the watch shining on a stand next to the bed. He started walking to the watch, when all of a sudden Michelle Obama woke up. She ran to stallme. As he dodged a blow to the head, stallme tackeled Michelle then hit her over the head, knocking her out. Before the president woke up, he grabed the watch and jumped out the window. Pwnsause stallme won.
Keep on fraggin glewis for not accepting my friend request live on episode 200 like he said he would. stallme out.

PunxsatownyPhil

I just have to say this:

Keep on Fragging Dust Storm’s saying that the guy was “beating off hunters” (ep. 198) on the ark, and his “glourious coming music” in the first Blast from the past.

Yeah, the anus armor was the Tales From the Foxhole (dee-dee-dee-da!) with TheRussianKolob. The guy was On the Ark, standing behind the hunter, he meleed it in the butt, the hunter turned around, then his friend meleed it in the butt, it turned around, he meleed it in the butt (the anus) again, and that repeated until it died. Sorry for being a stickler, but when I know something, I can’t help but correct people. When I kill hunters, I snipe them in the neck and get 450 points. :)

Sorry for the long one.

onebitrocket

Hey podtacular.

There’s a new halo book announced this week called Halo: Evolutions. It’s a series of short stories from previous authors.

Here’s some info from the announcement:
HALO: EVOLUTIONS will feature a wide variety of tales set across the span of the Halo universe. Contributing brand-new original stories are New York Times bestselling Halo novelists Eric Nylund and Tobias Buckell, as well as Halo newcomer and #1 New York Times bestselling author Karen Traviss. The collection will also include a number of other bestselling and award-winning writers, as well as contributions from the games writers and creators themselves, including original Halo contributor, Robt McLees of Bungie, LLC.

And the link to the press release:

I’m looking forward to eventually listening to episode 200, and i will when i finally disembark from my journey on the fail-boat. I’ve been on the fail-boat for over 2 weeks, trying and failing to get the overkill and the annual achievements. I’m not even going to attempt the Save this film achievement as I think the fail boat would be lost in the sea of fart juice forever.

That’s all!

A Frock Nuggets Perking! (keep on fragging trucks!)

TheFailboatDriver

PunxsatownyPhil

Hey Guys, it’s PunxsatownyPhil, once again clearing up some Halo canon, especially surrounding Reach.

First of all, Sam can not be in the game. He died in 2525, blowing up a Covenant ship, just after they got the Mark IV armor.

Early on, Master Chief’s squad was Sam and Kelly (the fast one). Later, it was him, Kelly, Linda (the Sniper), Fred (the second-best, always has a knife), Will (died in Ghosts of Onyx), and James. James got his arm blown off at the elbow by a hunter a while before Reach, but I guess they replaced it with a flash-cloned arm. Flash-cloning was a fast way to replace limbs and organs, but living human beings flash cloned would die in a short period of time (like the clones they replaced the recruits with).

I also want to note, GLewis, that Captain Cutter’s name is James Gregory Cutter, like your name reversed! :P.

Keep on Fragging n00b midgets playing pin the veto on the alpaca but are getting pwnt by Nay Nay until Dust Storm runs ‘em all over with the Failboat and goes “AWHAT? YAYEAH!” but can’t stop the failboat until it runs over Maccas. All of the angry Ozzies come out yelling “YOU STOLE OUR AIR!” and fire Fart Juice grenades at them, but Dusty snipes all of the ‘nades out of the air, hops on a folding bike, and rides off into the sunset until he hits a truck and falls off, and a yodeling manatee steals the bike, and Dusty’s watch that can turn into a Special Assault Rifle and goes yodeling away. Dusty cries, but finds a shotgun awareness manual, but Ryaaan14 steals it and goes to read it on the turlet, but the Angry Horde of Ozzies think he’s Dust Storm, yell “THAT BEHAVIOR IS UNASEPP-BLE, and carry him away by the anus armor to beat him up.

Wow, sorry for the long submission, shout out to every podtacie on my friends list, so Adswellfit, Arbitation, Captain Planet, Chicken Foot, Dust Storm, Fungus Oz, Giffyboy, SamerS600, Stallmeplease, and Uzumaki. Aslo GLewis, even though he hasn’t accepted (cuz he can’t) yet.

Blo0dInk

Hey, so I’m getting a 360 soon, and I’m really good at all of the Halo games, without button hacks. I’m the best (out of the 3) at Halo 3, but I was wondering, could you explain MLG, like the whole system? How to get in, and do you actually have to be 17+ (only 14 myself), etc. etc.
Thanks guys, Love the Podcast’s (Itunes, WOOT), KEEP ON FRAGGIN’!

just wanted to promote Extra-Life for those of you who don’t know it’s a charity event which involves a 24hr marathon gaming day. I’m taking part just wondering if anybody from the podtac community would like to start a team so we can all play together for a good cause.

PlasmaFox

Hey Podtacular!! This is PlasmaFox, and this is my first ever submission to Podtacular. I ran across this podcast by looking through the top rated Halo podcasts on iTunes and this is the best podcast yet :) I’ve been listening since episode 183 and it keeps getting better!! I just want to point out that only 8 of the episodes are available on iTunes and episodes 202-183 can be downloaded of the Podtac website. What should I do about episodes 1-182?? A late congrats on episode 200, very few podcasts can continue to get more interesting the farther they go. Keep up the great work and you should really bring those Australian kids back. They made episode 195 hilarious. Nice work.
Keep on fragging trucks!!
