Podtacular 225: Can’t Get Enough of Reach!

Shownotes
This show is out a little late because of finals, but it’s finally here. Over the past couple of weeks, lots of news from the press has come out about the Halo: Reach Beta. So this week, we’re here to talk about all that news until next week when the beta comes out for all. Short show for this week because of the low submission count and no special guest this week. Enjoy

Bungie Enters into Partnership with Activision

Well, this is a bit of a shocker, but Bungie has just announced a 10-year publishing agreement with Activision for their next IP. This raises a few questions since Activision publishes for multiple consoles. In the agreement, Bungie will retain the ownership of its new IP and will remain an independent company. Also, what does Microsoft have to say about this? For more info, check out Joystiq’s post here. Thanks to PK for posting this in the forums.

Podtacular 224: Red vs Blue Interview

Shownotes
For some reason, all the guests we have on magically makes the podcast a half-a-day endeavor. We sat down with Burnie Burns from Rooster Teeth Productions for four and a half hours resulting in more than three hours of quality podcast material. We managed to cut it down to an hour and forty minutes. The podcast has been edited to the topic of this episode, which was Red vs Blue information since they have started their final season. If you want to hear the full podcast (with no editing), you can download it from here: Full Version. Podtacular would like to give a big thanks to Burnie from Rooster Teeth for taking time out of his day to sit down with us. Hope lunch was good. Enjoy.
