Podtacular 516: Let the Game Begin

New game means new format; well, more of a refined format.  For the next few shows, we’ll be covering news, campaign missions, multiplayer maps, game modes, user submissions and a topic of interest.  This is a more condensed version of how Podtacular used to run its shows and we hope this format keeps things moving and is more entertaining to listen to.

This week we talk about the latest Halo news, Osiris mission, March on Stormbreak, Warzone and recap the midnight launch events we attended.  We have a short interview with Tim Longo who was at the New York City event.
