MLG 2010 Dallas Championships

Posted on November 6, 2010 by Dust Storm

I’m attending MLG Dallas right now and with fewer people than intended. Greg had to back out because of family issues and Brent moved back to North-West Texas. AceofSpadesCard from Cyberline films is here with me to help cover the event. He have two interviews lined up for this afternoon and we will 90% surely be doing a live show tonight on Ustream (reference earlier tweet). Some photo’s will be uploaded later today.

We also got to play some Killzone 3 Alpha stuff, which is making me more influenced to eventually buy a PS3. We also got to watch Dynasty beat Status Quo and just got back from watching Final Boss beat Carbon. More news to come.

Podtacular 239: Multiplayer Mayhem

Posted on November 4, 2010 by Dust Storm

Shownotes
It took us a while to get to this point, but we finally made it do the multiplayer side of Halo: Reach. For the most part, we like just about everything in Halo: Reach multiplayer with a few exceptions of course. Greg makes his glorious return to the show and we are joined by King Louis, the writer of the Beaver Zone song that was conceived in episode 223 during the Reach Beta. You can find the video on YouTube. Enjoy

Rank Cap Lifted

Posted on November 2, 2010 by Dust Storm

The magic number has been hit and the Rank Cap lifted. New armor classes and ranks are now available and updates are being pushed out as quickly as possible. According to Bungie, you won’t see the update right away and it may take a few hours for everyone to be updated, especially those who have already stocked up extra credits to roll over into the new ranks. There is no other rank cap, so go crazy. Source: Bungie

NXE 2 is Out!

Posted on November 1, 2010 by Dust Storm

The new Xbox Dashboard update has been released in preparation for the release of Kinect later this week. The update adds ESPN support and Video Chat via Kinect of the Xbox Vision Cam. Make sure you update all the other applications on your Xbox including Facebook, Netflix, Last.fm and Zune; looks like Twitter missed out. You’re also going to need to go to edit your Avatar so it and all your avatar items can be updated to the new Avatar appearance. It also looks like you have to enter all your login info for the applications again, except Netflix.

Podtacular 237: They’re Just Missing in Action

Posted on October 16, 2010 by Dust Storm

We continue our discussion on the Halo: Reach campaign by doing a quick run through of the levels in the campaign and discussing anything that stood out: mainly everything revolving around Dr. Halsey and the Forerunners. I think this podcast also gets the “bleeptacular” medal as well, but there’s still some great discussions. Just like the previous show, we have Kete from The Running Riot, and CMNeir and MidgetDance from Halo Reach Tricks back to continue the campaign discussions. Enjoy
