As you are already aware (or maybe not), tomorrow is our big day when we do our live show in celebration of Halo’s 10 year anniversary. It is slated to start at 1900 (7:00 PM) Eastern, but make sure to come early to catch some funny pre-show shenanigans. We also have a big guest lineup.
Tonight I have the privilege of being the featured guest on The Running Riot podcast with long time podcasting friend Kete. There have been many instances where Kete has made guest appearances on our show, and now he is returning the favor. Be sure to tune in tonight at 10:00 PM Eastern to see the interview live. If you can’t watch, make sure to check out the recording later on Ustream.tv.
Podtacular is back for our summer series of shows and to kick things off, we’re jumping right into the Microsoft Press Briefing from E3 this year. Halo Anniversary gets announced and we are given a teaser to the next Halo game from 343i. Lots of talk about the Kinect as well. Enjoy

The time has come to make a grand announcement that is sure to have everyone jumping out of their Warthogs. In respect of the upcoming 10th anniversary of the Halo Franchise, we thought it appropriate to have a somewhat special podcast to commemorate this event. We have had quite a few guests on our show over the past few years, some very prominent in the Halo and gaming communities. Needless to say, we have put together a grand panel of Halo enthusiasts to help us take a walk down memory lane and talk about the grand experiences and memories we share. On June 18th, we will be broadcasting a live panel with a chance for you all to be on the show in some way or form. We will have Halo Community Celebrities like bs angel, Kete, CMNeir, JVB, Foo Mo Jive, Louis Wu, and many more. Be sure to mark your calendars, cause this is going to be so huge, we may max out Skype’s capabilities. Stay tuned for more news as it develops.
For everyone that follows the show, you know that we use Skype to talk to each other and record the show. An interesting bit of news came out today that Microsoft has entered into an agreement with Skype to acquire Skype for $8.5 billion (USD). Skype is one of the leading Internet communication services providing free and premium accounts to home and business users. As with all acquisitions, things are bound to change somehow. Question is, will we still get the same great service as we do with Skype right now, and what kind of integration they plan to do with their other services, like Outlook and Messenger.
