Podtacular 694: Banter Wagon

Posted on July 29, 2019 by Dust Storm

Returning from Outpost Discovery in Philadelphia, Dust Storm fills us in on the latest changes to make the traveling experience even that much better for Halo fans. There’s lots of positive changes made, but still room to grow. With the latest community update delayed, we’re left with just a bit of Halo banter and an update on the state of Godzilla T’s computer situation. Also, the community voted to read Envoy next, so brush up on some lore and get ready to talk more Halo.

Podtacular 692: The Outpost Discovery Report

Posted on July 14, 2019 by Dust Storm

Dust Storm is back after visiting Orlando to experience Halo Outpost Discovery. With the overwhelming feedback that the experience has received, both positive and negative, Outpost is definitely a unique experience and one that is worth exploring if you’re able. Despite the first Outpost feeling very much like a trial run, 343 Industries and Herschend Family Entertainment have taken feedback critically and have publicly committed to making changes downstream, which we’re excited to see! We also helped bring together four panels for Outpost Discovery programming and look to bring even more to Philadelphia! The normal roundup of community updates and spotlights also graces us this show.

Podtacular 690: Art Doodles

Posted on June 30, 2019 by Dust Storm

We had a change up in this week’s scheduled guest so we swapped with our community update. Given everything that’s happened with the hype around Halo Infinite, it’s no surprised that there’s not much as far as community updates in the last month. We did see a new Community Spotlight post on Waypoint along with a new Discovery Dispatch and new Husky Raid playlist.

Podtacular 689: E3 2019 Discussion

Posted on June 22, 2019 by Dust Storm

The Xbox E3 Brief this year had more than just the tantalizing trailer we poured hours over last week discussing, but we were introduced to some new services and hardware coming in the next several months. The highly anticipated Project Scarlett Xbox aims to take Xbox One X’s achievement of native 4K to the max along with being able to play games from the cloud with Project xCloud. Xbox is bringing all their services together in an all new Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription including the brand new Xbox Game Pass for PC. A new Elite controller aims to improve on the first edition and address the issues and recommendations from the community. We also got a look at the most amount of games and Microsoft Game Studios represented in one brief, plus Keanu Reeves.
