Podtacular 780: Put A Pen In It

Posted on May 15, 2021 by Dust Storm

This week is a bit of a slower news week, so we reached out to probably the biggest and longest time supporter of the show, PensHalo. While this isn’t his first time on the show, he’s been single-handedly supporting the podcast and community and is big into the lore of Halo. Pens has an extensive timeline that breaks down the chronological order of the games, novels, comics, ARGs, audio recordings, movies/videos and anything related to the official lore. We’ve got the playlist updates for the month of June, a sneak peek into Season 7 flight content and a new Canon Fodder. Next week, DJ and Rage will return for the second Dreamhack Grifball draft, so tune in live on Twitch at 8:30P Eastern on Thursday if you want to be part of the recording.

Every once in a while, the community takes it upon themselves to pursue an ambitious project let alone make something that nearly every Halo fan has dreamed of.

With his continued growth on YouTube and the major success of his various video series, he’s taking his experience in mechanical engineering to attempt something that has never been done before (as far as we know). On this episode, we talk to Installation00 about the inception of the project and what he hopes to accomplish throughout the 18-24 month journey. If you want to help him bring the Mark IV to life, head on over to his Go Fund Me campaign and show him some love.

Podtacular 777: PC First Class

Posted on May 4, 2021 by Dust Storm

It’s the end of the month, which means another Halo Infinite update. This month, we get our first looks at the first class treatment Halo Infinite is getting for PC, from super ultra-wide support to triple key-binds. This will be the first time a Halo FPS title will get a simultaneous PC launch with console, let alone undergoing the same development process and not being a port. While this update is PC focused, not all of the information is PC specific, but shows how they’ve approached development for the entire platform supporting the game. Nuances in development that were not of major concern for console get a new perspective and PC will coexist with console natively out of the gate.
