For Jake’s Sake Charity Halo 3 Tournament

Miss Tique from Team Bombshells told me about a new Halo 3 charity tourney coming up:

We are hosting a charity Halo 3 tournament next week on 12/21 at 7pm EST and continue throughout the night. We have partnered up with UGS, GnG Magazine, Charity Gamers and Gamers United. It will be 4v4, it is a min of $5 per player towards the For Jakes Sake Foundation. The winning team will win 30% of the pot as a thank you for their contributions. So more the money, bigger the pot, and more towards Jake.

Who’s Jake you might ask? At the age of 3 he has Mitochondrial Disorder, and his family are running into a financial hardship to pay for his medical bills. Team Bombshells has teamed up with them to help them raise the awareness of this disorder and to help their son have a normal healthy life. There’s more info at For Jakes Sake to read about what this disorder can do to someone. Register for the tournament here!

Official Podtacular Halo 3 Clans Are Here!

Finally we have the means to put together Halo 3 clans. You’ve got questions? We’ve got answers.

But there are no clans in Halo 3!

Very wise, young grasshopper. However, with the dash update, there’s a spiffy new friends of friends feature. A lot of people said eureka when they realized you can create a silver account and use that as a clan of sorts, which is just what we’re doing! By getting added as a friend of one of the Podtacular clans, you can view the clan’s friends and blammo, you’re in a clan!

How do I get in?

Let’s cut right to the chase for the members of existing Podtacular Halo 2 clans and regular forum-goers. You guys can just send a friends request to your respective clan and you’re good to go. If you’re not a forum regular and existing clan member, check out the clan page to review the system and request an invite. You’ll need to tell us a little about yourself and agree to a few simple rules, then we’ll send you a friend request!

That’s right!!! The Podtacular All Stars are back on active duty and they have faced their first opponent this week. Yesterday, we played the fine Gents and Gal from Clantacular.com, an amazing tournament site led by our fellow community neighbor DemonCorpse.

We played a series of 5 games. Well, initially wanted to play a best of 5 but we had such a great time that even after the third game we just kept playing and time went by tooooo faaaassst! Anyway, thanks to Clantacular for showing up and being such great sports and congrats to the all stars. Let this be the first of many victories.
