This is a proud moment in Podtacular history. Podtacular was posted on the front page of Bungie.net for participation in the Humpday Challenge! Thanks Bungie for an awesome match and big thanks the the Bungie challenge team here at Podtacular.

Check it out yourself to see how it went! Video highlights and more coming soon.

WE WON! It was an awesome series of games and we all had a blast. The whole thing was recorded, so we’ll have a news story with screenshots sometime soon. It will probably be after Bungie releases their story of the match to respect Frankie’s mad writing skillz. We will probably release video highlights on the podcast feed as well if that’s OK with Bungie. Big thanks to everyone at Bungie and Podtacular that made this happen, and I can’t wait to fill everyone in on the details!

We should be facing Bungie tonight in the humpday challenge. For those participating or available on standby, here’s the plan. It will start at 11pm EST. The 2nd and 3rd games will obviously start later. If you’re scheduled for those matches, keep in mind you’ll get an invite a while after 11pm. If you’re on the challenge team, you should probably get online to warm up an hour early or so. We suggested playing Low Hill, Counter Strike, and 1 Flag CTF Fast Lockout with touch return. Practice those games with others from the challenge team if you can.

One thing I do not want to do is keep Bungie waiting. So if you’re on the 1st string or on standby, I expect you to be ready to accept an invite on a moment’s notice. If it goes over 30 seconds I will already be looking for a replacement. We won’t be waiting for your matchmaking games to finish. If you have any more questions, let me know. I’ll be taping the match with a camera on a tripod so hopefully we can make that available on the site. It’s gonna be awesome!
