Podtacular 404: Brent Not Found

Posted on January 12, 2014 by Dust Storm

The year 2013 brought us the peak of the Halo 4 experience and many memories, but as we look to 2014, the way for Halo is bright and never unchanging. We’ve had the privilege of being with you throughout the Halo 4 experience and will continue to do so until the emergence of Halo 5 later this year. 343 Industries has many plans for Halo and just as such, Podtacular has some plans of our own. We can’t wait to see what 2014 brings us and we hope you all will be along with us for the ride.
This week, we tackle some of the Halo news that transpired during our two week hiatus including some more signs of Halo 5 news on the rise. You’ll want to check out this week’s Halo Bulletin for the latest matchmaking information and an interview from one of our good friends, petetheduck. We also discuss some of our goals for the new year, so if you want to get a jump start on this year in Halo, check us out!

Podtacular 403: Year’s End

Posted on December 22, 2013 by Dust Storm

It’s our final podcast of the year and we’ve been quite a few places and so has Halo. Between all the title updates to Halo 4, the release of Halo: Spartan Assault, the Halo 4 Global Championships and all the conventions we attended, it has been one hell of a year. To end things for the year, this week’s bulletin is a Q&A with Frankie. There are some pretty interesting questions in the list that we talk about to wrap up the end of the year. On a final note, thank you everyone who has stayed with us throughout the year and supported us through the tough times with Halo this year. We value each and every one of you and we wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you tuning in every week. Happy Holidays everyone!
