Episode 148: Callins and Tales from Foxhole

This is my favorite show and this week I get to host it since Foo Mo is in England! Here we talk about and give voice to the people to share the coolest stories they have from their halo time, along with the Halo Nation’s voice mails. CapnKrunk narrates those and makes the bad ones walk the plank. Plasma qrenades joins JVB and I this week for the tales from the foxhole. Pod Art this week is from Plasma qrenades himself.

Ps. I hope you guys bear with me on this one since it was my first time editing. Show notes are up.

Podtacular wins “Best Tournament”

You heard it right!!! The Podtacular community won “Best Tournament at the community award hosted by the Second Foundation guys.

The 2007 Summer Season Tournament had a big and positive impact in the halo community to the point of achieving recognition from fellow friends and community members. It was a pleasure to have all the people that participated in this because without everyone this would not be possible.

So i want to first thank Kiaffex and CapnKrunk for being my partners in this project, because every season is truly a project that lasts weeks, and of course thank all the Podtacular Community that supports what i do here. You guys are the reason and the fuel to keep me going in order to achieve milestones such as this one.

Thanks SigaFoo and the SF crew and for more discussions at the podtacular forum click HERE.

See you guys next season!

Podtacular All Stars vs Tied the Leader Gunslingers

On Saturday night, the Podtacular All Stars had the privilege to square off against the Tied the Leader Gunslingers. TTL, the short name for the site, has been around for quite some time. Although we did not have the chance to face off against TTL in Halo 2, we had to take this opportunity. The All Stars and TTL played a best out of five series, with the All Stars picking two and TTL picking 2 and we all agreed on a fifth game. The Gunslinger’s site can be found Here.

Wanna see what happened? You can find the whole write up regarding this amazing match right HERE.

Join the Cause: Fight Back for Podtacular

I agree 100% with everything CapnKrunk says about some of the recent tomfoolery in the community. He pointed out some activity that needs to stop. If you’re like me, we’re not interested in these silly teenage politics, but we are interested in making Podtacular a fun and friendly place where people can make friends and play Halo. Consider this a last stand to make Podtacular what it should be. If you’re a part of the solution, if you’re with us, help me raise the banner and fight back with everything we’ve got… the right way. This is OUR community! Read on to see what weapons you have in your arsenal.

How to kill a community

One of the greatest things about the interwebz is its ability to bring together groups of people from all across the world to share their experiences and ideas on any given subject. At some point, these groups and discussions become so large and complex that relationships and communities start to form to hold things together. Within that, people will eventually either step up, or by virtue of their contribution, be considered responsible enough, to take on a role of leadership or authority. It’s just the natural order of things.

These are things I learned long ago. These are things that I know aren’t easy to manage or maintain, but they are a necessity.

What makes a community successful is when everyone, no matter their role or place in the scheme of things, can respect and abide by the order set in place. There will be conflict and there will be strife, but the one thing that remains is that we have to believe that it works. When that is lost, then things can rapidly take a turn for the worse.

Episode 147: Floodgate Campaign Show

This week we’re joined by Lancelot59, Halo PC fanatic and Halo 3 campaign aficionado. We read off the Halo Nation’s tips on how to hold the flood at bay in Halo 3’s campaign level floodgate. There’s also some stimulating discussion about important topics such as Tom Selleck’s mustache. Pod Art is by me this week as I wanted to explain just where those two pesky flood are that apparently have the coveted skull in this level. Show’s about 1:03.

Also quick note, I’ll be out of town for the next two weeks but JVB and Dialpex will keep the show going in my absence. Keep on fraggin’ trucks!
