Pod TV Episode 3: Bungie Humpday Challenge Highlights


Download
PodTV episode 3 is here! This one is totally different: It’s the highlights we promised you from the Bungie Humpday Challenge against Podtacular. Big thanks to Freak in a Box for doing an exceptional job on editing. I couldn’t get the sound for some reason, but Freak in a Box did a great job of overcoming that obstacle by turning it into a montage-style highlights video. Hope you like it!

UPDATE: The iPod version should now be showing up in iTunes and this time it should play on your iPod video. Thanks HBO again for hosting!

To All Season Players – Season Update

What’s up everybody?!

I would like to share a few new things that were implemented on the season and will take place once we return from the 4th of July break we will have next week. There are 2 very important updates that MUST be read by all the season participants, in order to keep everyone on the same page and avoid excuses for certain actions.
Well there are 2 new important updates to the current season that will change the current system and hope for the better in order to keep the players more active and more interested on the season. Well let’s see what we have here. For more information please visit the Forums.

New Rules

  • As you can see the schedule for after the break will include 2 matches per week. In order to accelerate the matches I would like to offer the teams 1 full week from Monday to Sunday to play 2 matches. These matches can be played at any time and point during that week according to the player’s schedule. Please be fair, keep the common sense and allow a couple of days or so for scheduling (I would suggest start scheduling the week of July 10 matches during the break week.
  • The second change is that any team that forfeits 2 games in a row will be automatically removed from the tourney and not allowed to participate in the following one. This is a reinforcement matter that shows that players that are serious about this one will also be serious about the upcoming Tourneys at Podtacular.com.

Season Prizes

Well here is what you all have been waiting for… The Season Prizes. Let’s see what we have.

First Place

  • First place team will participate in a special Podtacular episode with Foo Mo Jive to discuss the team’s best, most impressive and hardest moments of that team in the season.
  • Special custom-made custom user bars by Foo Mo Jive with the Team/player name as the Champion of the Podtacular Season.
  • A spot in the Podtacular “Wall of Fame” topic that will be created in a near future.
  • A special forum tag below your avatar that says Season Champions.
  • Any and other prizes (shirts, sigs, anything from the podtacular store, etc…) that other members feel that this team would deserve for such accomplishment. Feel free to award the winning team.

Second Place

  • Special custom made custom user bars by Foo Mo Jive with the Team/player name as the Second place of the Podtacular Season.
  • A spot in the Podtacular “Wall of Fame” topic that will be created in a near future.

Third Place

  • Special custom-made userbars by Foo Mo Jive with the Team/player name as the Third place of the Podtacular Season.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and hope to see you all trying your hardest to make this season our First and Great season here at our COMMUNITY, Podtacular.com.
