Bungie and MS heading to Splitsville

As it was rumored earlier this week, Microsoft has now announced that it will be parting ways with Bungie, at least in terms of being a division of the corporation. Microsoft will still continue to publish and work with Bungie on other Halo-related projects.

“Our collaboration with Bungie has resulted in ‘Halo’ becoming an enduring mainstream hit,” said Shane Kim, corporate vice president of Microsoft Game Studios. “While we are supporting Bungie’s desire to return to its independent roots, we will continue to invest in our ‘Halo’ entertainment property with Bungie and other partners, such as Peter Jackson, on a new interactive series set in the ‘Halo’ universe. We look forward to great success with Bungie as our long-term relationship continues to evolve through ‘Halo’-related titles and new IP created by Bungie.”

What’s New at Podtacular: Community Projects

One of my favorite things about Podtacular is how it’s not just my community, it’s your community. It’;s so cool how the community takes ownership of itself and puts together some great stuff, making friends along the way. Here are some perfect examples:

  • Pod TV is putting out new episodes – You’ve seen the first grand slam Halo 3 show, and there’s plenty more in the hopper for Cryptoflix and the Pod TV team. They recently got a nice influx of talented help so they’ve got quite a team going.
  • Halo News is on it’s way back!Chevelle65 and the Halo News crew are working hard to bring back one of the most genuinely funny machinima series ever. The ones that assembled the Halo Voltron are coming back soon with a bang!
  • Monthly Porridge is in the works… – You thought Quality Jeverage had retired his regular Podtacular comic? Think again! No seriously, think again.
  • Podtacular Radio is returning! – DJ Painkilla05 is frantically spinning his wheels of steel to bring us more music to frag by.
  • Podtacular Review FrenzyKillazilla and the review crew are ready to provide you with a full and complete review and all of the insights for all the brand new and upcoming games to hit shelves this year.

Yes, new life has been breathed into the old favorites. But it doesn’t have to end there. You can start your own project and work together with the Podtacular community! If you have an idea, share it in a thread on the forums and see if people like it and will help. Then get crackalackin’! I look forward to seeing what you come up with. You could also contact the leaders of Pod TV, Review Frenzy, or Halo News and see if they’re looking for any help, I’m sure they’d appreciate the offer. Let the community projects return and begin!

What’s New at Podtacular: Podcast Refresh

It’s time to let the cat out of the bag with the podcast changes. MMMRRROOOWW

New Show Rotation

  1. Champagne and Caviar – until we can think of a better name. All about campaign (a.k.a. champagne, nod to the old school): campaign scoring, the story, the levels, the A.I., the madness. We talk about how to get the highest campaign score in all the land.
  2. Callins and Tales from the Foxhole – First off we have the return of voice mails narrated by CapnKrunk. We play back the voice mails you leave at 206-888-HALO and joke around about them. Then we read back your tales from Halo pwnage. I bet now that we got forge and way more customization this is gonna get LOCO EN LA CABEZA!
  3. Customs and Creations – now that the floodgates have opened with custom game options, it’s time to get creative. This is where we read off a bunch of cool customs from the community. We also talk about your favorite forge edits. Sometimes you need both for the full enchilada. What’s cool is that now we can give out your gamertags and others can download the customs and map edits instead of having to put in all the rules! HOLY JEEBERS! We look forward to seeing what you guys can come up with.
  4. Map of the Month – This show is all about STRATEGERY. We talk about how to kick arse on one multiplayer map, all broken down by game type or just general tips. This is where we help you level up and stay there.

What?? A regular schedule? Surely you jest!!

For realz, we’re back to a regular calendar. Every week you can expect to see us asking for stuff for the next show on Mondays, firm. So now you know every week if you drop by Tuesday, you’ll see what’s up for the next show and be able to submit your comment! Also, every week, we’ll be releasing shows on Sunday nights, every week… only exception is an early release this week. How cool is that?! You can depend on content every week on the same day!

It’s all about getting back to the podtac roots, people.

This is what Podtacular should be and will be for a long time. Welcome back to the golden years. To buff out the gold we’ll also be adding shiny new intros, outros, bumpers, all that audio bling bling to make the show fresh again. Welcome back, Cotters!
