Halo 4 Screens – Tag Set 1

On episode 351, I mentioned how we were thinking about doing something with screenshots now that the web file share is up and running. I asked people to go out and tag screenshots with “Podtacular” and I’d see what we would get. Well two of you have followed through thus far and for your efforts, they are featured below. One of them was tagged from our Majestic MNM event.

We’re still trying to figure out what to do with them as far as a series goes. There’s plenty of other sites that do things with screenshots, but if we can find a way to do something different, that would be preferable. If you guys have any ideas what we should do with them, drop us a line in the comments.

Podtacular 352: Beyond Halotainment

Download
Every now and then another Halo community pops up. Most of the time they start off small and grow gradually, but a few times they explode, which is what has happened to Beyond Entertainment. With a similar start to The Halo Council, Beyond Entertainment was started by a few competitive Halo players whose focus is to bring together parts of the Halo community through quality entertainment. Within their month of existence, they’ve gained popularity across multiple communities, but it’s likely we haven’t seen the bulk of their offering yet. Joining the podcast to talk about Beyond Entertainment is CyrenGH057ayame and Saucey. Enjoy

We have learned the history behind the Forerunners in Cryptum and Primordium, and we have been exposed to their technology and plans through the eyes of Master Chief. Now, in just under two short weeks, we will have the final book in the Forerunner Saga in our laps to learn about the final moments of the Forerunners as a civilization. This week’s bulletin has an interview with Greg Bear, writer behind the trilogy. We also have our playlist update announcing Team Action Sack, with a sneak peek at some of the gametypes slated for the playlist in the future. Question of the week: If you’ve read the Forerunner books, what’s your favorite part and are you excited for Silentium? Enjoy

After the encounter with the mysterious Librarian AI, Master Chief and Cortana refuse to ignore the bigger picture of the threat Didact poses to the humanity and the galaxy. Disobeying orders and with the help of another ally, Chief and Cortana depart Infinity to be left behind in an attempt to prevent the Didact’s departure from Requiem. This mission contains many hidden meanings and complex ideas, so we pulled in FinalPOSTMORTEM from Forward Unto Dawn for this summary. Enjoy
