Podtacular 249: Podtacular Update

Posted on February 27, 2011 by Dust Storm

After nearly a month of no podcast being put out, we decided to come out of our shell and talk about some of the new things in the Halo-verse that have been appeared since our last meeting. We had the announcement of the Defiant Map Pack, which falls in two weeks. There were also some updates to Halo Waypoint that provides an interesting perspective with your Halo: Reach stats. There was also the Joystiq announcement about a confirmed(?) Halo: CE remake. We will be having shows to follow up on each one of these topics separately. Enjoy

Tweet My Six says Goodbye

Posted on February 11, 2011 by Dust Storm

vaporofnuance, creator of the Twitter service Tweet My Six has announced on the service’s blog that today will be the last day the service will run due to the time and cost of the project. Tweet My Six was a Twitter service that would post your game stats, completed challenges and other Halo: Reach related stats tied to your gamertag and posted to your twitter account. I know a few of us here at Podtacular have used this service religiously and we are sad to see it go. If you have used the service at any point, please go thank him by posting a tweet to @TweetMySix.

Original Halo Remake Confirmed

Posted on February 4, 2011 by Dust Storm

The rumor has been out for a while now that the new adopters of the Halo franchise would be making a Halo: Combat Evolved remake. Well, today those rumors come to rest as 343 has confirmed the development of the remake of the game that kicked off the Xbox. There are still lots of little pieces that we don’t know about the game that could make or break it. According to Joystiq, the remake will not run off of the Reach engine but by something being put together by Saber Interactive. Rumors of the confirmed rumor are that the remake will essentially be a graphics makeover with HDTV and 3DTV support with online co-op.

Podtacular 248: Black Ops Tales

Posted on January 29, 2011 by Dust Storm

Shownotes
You requested it, we did it. It’s Podtacular’s first every Call of Duty related Tales from the Foxhole show. We didn’t get nearly as many submissions as we get for Halo Tales, but there was enough for an entire show. To celebrate this occasion, Amplified Silence and Daftlink I17 were on as guests. Not sure when or if we’ll do another one of these, so get your fill while you can. Enjoy

While we took a little break in light of Martin Luther King day last week, we managed to pull out one episode. Brent and I hold down the fort while Greg is not around, with working and all. This time, we read all the random frags and miscellaneous emails. Enjoy.

Halo 4 Details Explored

Posted on January 19, 2011 by Dust Storm

There’s been a rumor going on for quite a while now (since the release of Halo 3) of a new Halo 4 game. Now whether you believe it or not, there are arguments for both sides. A video popped up on YouTube recently that looks at some of the facts, and while those may support the existence of Halo 4, I still think there’s some gaps not filled. The video is mainly a mash-up of pictures and text slides, but the creator makes some good points. Although this has been overlooked next to a rumored Halo: CE remake, from a Halo Fan standpoint, it would be cool to see the conclusion of Master Chief’s legendary ending.
