Podtacular 292: Yingbell

Posted on June 4, 2012 by Dust Storm

One of the things we know everyone wants is information: it’s up to the person whether or not they want something spoiled for them. If you are one of those people, then you’ll want to steer clear of this show that speculates on all the leaked screenshots and videos from the past week. Our stance here at Podtacular is to tell you about what is leaked, but we will not take any of this information as official until we have heard it from the horses mouth itself. With that said, take any information you hear us talk about with a grain of salt until 343i says otherwise. Enjoy

Podtacular 291: Pre-Order Goodies

Posted on May 31, 2012 by Dust Storm

Last week, we started to see retailers who are accepting pre-orders for Halo 4 list their bonus content that will be available with the game when shipped. These bonuses come in unlockable armor skins and emblems for you to use with your Spartan IV. Some of the bonuses are available from multiple retailers, but each region seems to have their exclusive holders of certain bonus items, making it a nightmare for all of those collectable people. We have CruelLEGACEY on the show to talk about some behind-the-scenes stuff for Season 3 of his Waypoint machinima series: Playtime. Enjoy

Pod TV News: Show 5

Posted on May 30, 2012 by Dust Storm


Last weekend, I was in New York visiting Damian from This Spartan Life for a chip-tunes festival and I didn’t have any of my recording equipment, so a third style of video production was pursued. Since the Bulletin came out shortly after I arrived, I wanted to go ahead an get a video out, and this time, it’s more like an actual vlog. Personally, I’m not as fond of this style of publishing since I really don’t have the proper equipment for it, but if you like it, please comment on it.

If you pre-order Halo 4 from a number of retailers, you’re going to be able to unlock some pretty neat armor skins, weapon skins, and emblems to use on your new Spartan IVs. This video lays it all out on what you’ll get when you pre-order from participating retailers.

Podtacular 290: Community Impressions

Posted on May 19, 2012 by Dust Storm

Shownotes
With all the information that was released last week, it’s time to turn attention to the community and see what you all had to say. The submissions we got were very in-depth and while we didn’t read them verbatim on the show, they are definitely good reads. It’s good to see other fans out there that are heavily infested and are genuinely interested in the success of the game and give their honest opinions. Click on the shownotes to see the submissions in full. The limited edition was announced a couple of days as well, which looks frag-tastic. Kete from The Running Riot joins us for this two hour show. (He manages to make the show longer than usual and cause me pain while editing.) Enjoy
