Podtacular 182: Around The Ring: Left 4 Dead – No Mercy

Shownotes

Hello Podtacular! This weeks episode is a bit late, but I assure you it’s all Dust Storm’s fault. SOMEONE didn’t pay the bill –\_0.o_/–. This week we kick off our Left 4 Dead level series with No Mercy. Joining us is TheCrazyCommie, a friend of mine. In this episode, we set a record for submissions, and have some of the best bloopers ever! Over 14 minutes of them! Some of them I had to cut because they were past PG13. Thanks to Logan Payne for the background loop, and EliteSpartan for the album art.

PodTV Campaign Show Site

Well, it has been fun making this series, and it has drawn to it’s conclusion. I’ve boasted about this project to quite a few people, and I’ve been hard at work developing a site for it. So I’m please to announce all the videos are available to be viewed and downloaded on my website: duststorm.org. A little bonus: you can download the videos in high-res for all the dedicated fans out there. I really appreciate all the feedback and support for this project. You can access the videos [url=http://duststorm.org/podtv/campaign]here[/url].

Now you may be thinking that I’m done, but I’m far from it. I have a few projects I want to pursue, one being the Halo Wars Campaign, where I will do the same thing I did with the Halo 3 campaign. And of course, when ODST comes out, I’ll do a series for that as well. Another project I’m looking to do will involve the community in the Podtacular Campaign: where me and three people will play the campaign with probably every skull, but the blind skull. I’ll be mainly focusing on people who have been here the longest and have dedicated the most time to the community or forums, but it doesn’t mean that everyone is excluded. Each level will have a different group of people, so there is plenty of slots. I’m also looking into machinima, but I’m not exactly sure what I’ll do, but I’ll definitely keep people updated.

Website Downtime

Some of you may have noticed what Podtacular has been down for two days. Please note that it was not something we did. DreamHost, our hosting provider for the site experienced a Denial of Service attack to their DNS which affected the databases that most of the sites hosted my them run off of. If you want more information behind the occurrence, please check http://www.dreamhoststatus.com/. Due to the downtime, we will not have a podcast this week, and will pick it up next week for Customs and Creations.

Podtacular 179: Around The Ring – DRM Debate

Shownotes

Hello Podtacular! This is the first of the debate/discussion series that I hope to be able to continue once every few months or so. This one focuses on DRM, or Digital Rights Management. It’s a global issue. It affects all forms of digital media. All video games, music, videos. everything. It’s a big issue. Thanks to everyone who submitted, all of the submissions were very well put…except for one with terrible grammar that I had trouble following. You know who you are. Joining us is Logan Payne, from the Podtacular community. Enjoy the episode!
