Episode 62: Tips for Relic

It’s the Podtacular Tips Show, where we cover some mid to high level general tips and tips for Relic. With guest hosts JVB and GLewis. Pod Art this week comes from Henry Mumford. Thanks! And as usual, big thanks to Ciclonic for editing. We’re getting caught up and Episode 63: the e3 special should be out shortly. Along with a surprise release even earlier than that for some of you. :)

Halo 3 Announced, Millions Pee Their Pants

I hate to say I told you so but… I told you so. Ok I don’t hate it that much. :) The fateful day has arrived and we are treated to a trailer rendered on 360 hardware with the Halo 3 engine (which means that will be the quality of the graphics and sound).

Let us know what you think!

Hear that? That’s the sound of Podtacular shifting a lot of focus onto Halo 3 and becoming “the Halo 3 but we still play Halo 2 until it comes out show.” Or the Halo 3 show for short. For episode 63 we’ll be talking just about Halo 3, the trailer, the little nuances we find, the chatter on the web, the Bungie.net article, etc. So let us know what you think! And if you find some obscure factoid or graphic that we missed, send it on in. Just be sure to include your gamertag so we can give you credit.
Deadline to get your comments on the show is Thursday night. Ok, I need to go wash my pants now.

Episode 61: Halo 3 and Amaz Show

It’s the Halo 3 show, where we talk about only the coolest speculation for halo 3. Just in time too, as we’ll probably hear more very shortly! As usual big thanks to Ciclonic for the editing. Hopefully we’ll get episode 62 out this week as well along with another special addition to podtacular. Also, thanks to Capnkrunk for fixing the site. I’m sure it was a pain but we appreciate all the hard work.

Podtacular.com Outage

Hey everybody, I got the notice Thursday night that the site wasn’t working and have been doing what I can to get everything back to normal. This was a matter of an issue with my hosting provider and none of the site content has been affected or lost. The site was simply using too many resources, so it was moved to another server and apparently something got broken in the transition.

It looks like the forums are back to normal (for the most part) and I’ll still be checking back from time to time. But my focus right now is on the main site, since that’s what drives the podcast and news feeds.

Thanks to everyone who has offered to help. Aside from simply working things out with my host, there’s not much that anyone else can do, but all I can ask is that you guys hang in there and keep the forums in order in the meantime.

Episode 60: Podtacular Update

It’s the Podtacular Update show: grab bag edition, where we talk about what’s hattenin’ in the Podtacular community, we cover some Halo jokeage, campaign tips and glitching. With guest hosts Painkilla05 and Sh4rdy. Pod Art this week comes from Citrusp3rs. Where can I buy this game?? And as usual, big thanks to Ciclonic for editing. We had some issues with our tools freaking out on us which made this episode a bit late, but everything should be back on track for next week.

Podtacular 1500 Campaign

E3 and Halo 3 are coming soon. In the meantime, Podtacular has a new goal: reach 1500 listeners by E3! (May 10th) How will we do this? That’s where you come in. If you like the show, here’s a few ways you can help Podtacular reach its goal:

  1. Be sure you’re subscribed in iTunes and write a review of the show in iTunes. Vote for us at Podcast Alley.
  2. Message everyone on your friends list and tell them about podtacular.com. Imagine how many we could reach if every listener did this!
  3. Put podtacular.com as your 360 motto or gamercard motto until E3.
  4. Use “podtacular userbars”:https://podtacular.com/forum/podtacular/website/new-userbars-for-everyone in other forums and link them to podtacular.com.
  5. Email your favorite game magazine, web site, TV station, or podcast and suggest they do a feature on gaming podcasts, featuring us of course. :)
  6. Post in other Halo or game-related forums a topic about Podtacular and what you like about the show.

More ideas in this forum post. Let’s make it happen, guys! Thanks to Dialpex for the awesome idea.
