Podtacular 810: More Tangents than a Geometry Class

Posted on February 2, 2022 by Dust Storm

The Cyber Showdown event carries on, Big Team Battle matchmaking still has ongoing issues, Dust Storm finally plays matchmaking for the first time in a month, and of course, we have to talk about the ongoing community feedback around the Battle Pass in Halo Infinite. While we wait for content updates, fixes to matchmaking, and improvements to the customization system, it seems like the population for the game has dropped drastically and changes are desperately needed. With the studio back in full force, hopefully fixes and changes start coming down the chute quickly.

Podtacular 806: Creepy Teeth

Posted on December 18, 2021 by Dust Storm

Halo Infinite‘s campaign is finally here! It’s been over six years since we’ve gotten a new addition to the FPS line of games and nearly four years since the release of Halo Wars 2 introducing us to the Banished. With a week behind us to dive in, this is our opportunity to give our spoiler-lite impressions on the game. The reception so far as been very positive and we feel the story is a great continuation and brought a lot of pieces together very well. And since we’ve been off for a couple of weeks, there’s plenty of news for us to rush through as well, so pop on your headphones, grab some hot cocoa, and enjoy! (And before we get questions, there’s a reason behind the title. You’ll get it when you hear it.)
