Podtacular: The Unofficial Halo Universe Podcast

Podtacular Episode 144: Callins and Tales from the Foxhole
for the week of January 8th, 2007

(hosts foo mo, JVB, The Russian Kolob)

introductions

During a ranked game of One Bomb on Narrows, I carried the bomb while my
teammates started racking up the kills. The team was Lord Citrus, budlow,
Kickimanjaro and myself. I went and picked up the radar jammer and dropped
it near the wall where the sniper is. I then walked around on the left and
planted the bomb. All 4 of the blue guys walked to the bomb to disarm it
while I fired with my AR and threw grenades. I killed them all for an
extermination with 9 seconds left on the bomb. The video is up on my file
share if you want to see our dominance in that round.

Shout out to the Godtacular crew! We’re starting back up on January 14th
ay 9PM eastern with a new study.

VIP Overkill. The other day I was playing Multi-team with a buddy, and
there were these really annoying Rednecks in the Lobby. Well naturally
they said a few choice words, particularly mentioning Bud Lite, Pick-up
trucks, and how bad they were gonna own me in the next game. The only
thing I could really understand was a lot of profanity pretty much geared
to me, and my skinny sounding gamertag. Therefore I just used my
handy-dandy mute button. I just let them talk, b/c I knew it was gonna be
a very long match for those two. Well we get into the game, we were
playing VIP on Guardian. Well this game is really insane on such a small
level, but with 4 separate VIPs running around, it quickly became madness.
Well we were tied for first with the Cyber Rednecks, and all of a sudden I
see an opportunity. I’m running through the middle circle, and I see two
VIPs fighting on the spiral snipe tower. So I jump up into heat of battle,
and quickly assassinate the first VIP. The second is weakened, so I beat
him down also. I continue to run down the ramp, and spot a third hurt VIP
running up from sniper spawn. I quickly beat him down. Our score then
jumped from 3 to 6 in about 5 seconds. I then spot a final guy close to
the overshield spawn. I exchange AR fire with him, then throw a grenade.
The nade kills him, giving me an Overkill. My teammate was speechless. He
looked at the score, and just started shouting…We went on to win the
game, and needless to say the Rednecks ran with their tales tucked between
their hillbilly legs. The clip is on my fileshare if you would all like to
see…. the Gamertag is Anorexic Leader.

I’d like to give a shoutout to Gee Ma Knee 01, Sn3aky P4nts, Sqweryl, and
Sausage x J.
Keep on Fraggin Snow sleds filled with Blue-eyed Bengal tigers with Green
Stripes, and purple paws, b/c they try to slay No0bz 4 hire (aka) Santa
Claus.

Hey guys, Russian here with an awesome tale from the fox hole.
I was playing a matchmade game in BTB of Multi-Flag CTF on Valhalla.
Dude5468 and drivec and I went in the match together and fought an
amazingly stressful and intense game. Grabbing the flag over and over
again but never scoring it. But, when the game had about a minute or so
left, someone grabbed the flag and man-cannoned into the center. He was
killed seconds later, but luckily our entire team ran to it. Making sure
to grab it and take it as far as we could, we kept them from returning it.
It took a whole minute just to move it over and off the hill, with our team
just rushing into the slaughter around the flag to keep it from returning.
Then we heard the words, “Sudden Death!” Dude had grabbed the flag and was
running to our base. Our teammates had apparently killed enough of the
other team to allow him to survive the carnage. With almost no time left,
Dude scored and we won the game.

It was an amazing victory and we have had many similar experiences to
match it. The ending should be in my file share so check it out! Like to
give a shout out to Rec E, Sqweryl, Dude, and drivec. Keep on fragging
trucks.

Hey podtacular,this is Tapio (gamertag: II Tapio II )
and i have the best headshot story..EVER!
So i was playing at my friends house and we were kinda horsing around in
Rumble pit(i was the guest)
Pit was the map
We was forced to work together because we was againts 3 people who where
splitscreening and they said they would destroy us in the match.
So lets just jump in what happend.
I was shooting with a sniper a one guy who was already in firefight.
So i take a shot at him,didnt kill him but hitted him.
Then took another shot..now it gets all crazy!
So the 2nd shot went under his crotch area,between the legs
hit the floor,ricochet from that ground to another enemys head.

You can check my fileshare see me doing the amazing shot,its called
Headshott

so back to the story:
As soon as i saw that it was actual headshot i started to laugh like there
was elite running with only boxers on
After we finished the match,we watched the replay about million times and
even showed to some friends

Keep on sniping dinosaurs who always try to steal the truck what you are
going to frag when listening to podtacular

It’s not personally MY story, but it was my friend echo389’s. He was
playing social slayer with his guest Nay-Nay at Valhalla. Nay-Nay was in
the banshee and then he goes for a splatter. The guy he’s trying to
splatter has the SLazer, and it goes off just in time to kill Nay-Nay, but
also kill him. During all of this, echo is going up the hill to Slazer from
the river, when a peice of banshee rolls down the hill and kills him. The
guy gets a kill from the grave. Send me a message if you want me to put the film on my fileshare, since
it’s so epic.

Hey, Yowl here…my tale from the foxhole comes from a game that was played
at about 2 in the morning last week. 3 of us were playing on the Burning
Bridges map (cant remember who made it right now) and we were playing
rockets. i set the score to unlimited so that we could see how long we
could go. i ended up getting around 200 some kills, 2nd place got around
150 and 3rd got somewhere around 50. it was hilarious. my new favorite
quote came from this game “Just because I was camping doesnt mean that you
had to kill me!!!”
In case you dont know, the burning bridges map is on narrows. its set up
so that you can not leave the bottom level of the map. this map is so fun
if you only have 2 or 3 people and if you play rockets, it doesnt matter
how good you are. if you dont have the map, i know have it in my fileshare

Hey guys Nick here for a tale from the foxhole. Ok so I was playing a
Zombies gametype on Sandtrap and i had a chopper. I was just driving
around minding my own Business when Blamo Im the last man Standing out of
16 people. They all had gravity hammers,swords,regenerating gernades,300%
speed,and 50% gravity. So as I screamed at the top of my lungs to get away
from my impending doom I turn around to find every last Zombie in front of
me. I had no idea what to do so I just decided to plow right down the
middle. To my surprize I got an overkill with splatters through the
middle. I kept on running away and ended getting a Vehicular Massacre. It
was amazing you guys should check it out on my fileshare Gt: XiiX Nick
XiiX

xCRIPPLEDPANDAx here,
i have two stories to tell. first is one of sweet sweet redemption. it
was in team slayer and i was starting off real bad, the score was tied at
28 apiece on valhalla and i had no kills. so one guy was understandable
upset, and i don’t blame him. but he started calling me names, douche
bag, worthless piece of *, and so on. just taking it a bit far. then
i got a hold of the sniper rifle and went on the best spree of my life. i
killed 6 guys with the sniper, threw a power drainer and got a triple
kill with the battle rifle. then got a triple kill with the laser, by
blowing up a full warthog. when it was all said and done, we won and i
had 14 kills 7 deaths for 2nd place. the trash talker ended with 10 kill
and 12 deaths. i let my stats speak for themselves and didn’t say a word
to the jerk. my teamates sure let him have it though, which felt very
nice.

the second tail from the foxhole was the closet game i have ever
witnessed. it was 49 to 49 on the narrows. they were holed up at there
spawn point with my team advancing down the center bridge. i used the
mancannon to flank them saw a good opening and started to spray someone
with the AR, just as someone started to shoot me. as the “game over”
appeared on the screen i see his body hit the floor a split second before
mine. only the guy behind me had any idea how close the game was.

sorry if this is a bit long. i just wanted to let you know how big of a
fan of the show i am. i’ve listened to every episode since i’ve found the
show, since episode 53. and i hope i can live up to the creative closing
comments, so here it goes, keep on fraggin 3 legged black and white bamboo
eatin’ asian bears.

Just your low-calorie friend UnbakedParrot here, with a rather hilarious
and squawkable anecdote from the small-mammal-burrow. One day, on Social
Doubles (when that glorious playlist use to exist) I decided to go in
alone, and after several minutes of waiting, was matched up with a major
(like myself), with our opponents being a commander and his guest. I
attempted to contact this newly found teammate through my headphones, but
my enthusiastic attempts were met only by the absence of any noise,
response, or hissing whatsoever (I usually expect something of the like,
having the name of parrot and all). We begun the match; it was on
isolation, which is my least favorite to play, but I take like a
parr..er…man. I started my usual strategy by obtaining a regenerator
and a BR, and began to advance upon the other team. To my surprise, my
teammate stood still, and, frustrated, I continued my assault. To my
amazement, however, my two opponents were as lifeless as my teammate. I
decided to ignore both facts, and started to enjoy myself. There were so
many options! Get a sniper spree, get a shotty spree, a splatter
spree…..a literal buffet of killing at my fingertips! To make an
already long story short, I ended up getting 30 kills in a row, gaining
that special medal. Unfair? Yes, I’ll admit it. Cheap? Probably. But
hey, who wouldn’t take advantage of such a glorious opportunity? This
healthy-choice Parrot did, and it was the funnest (it is TOO a
word..morons) AND funniest game I have ever played.

Keep up the slendid work Podtacular, i’ve listened in since episode 12,
and haven’t stopped yet. Keep fraggin those poor, now-mishapen trucks,
guys.

Parrot out.

hey FOOOO MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! and guest host others. It’s cgsniper465,
been featured on the show (last begin when spelchek was around). Heres my
story (i got 2). #1 team doubles, slayer, isolation. my friend has the
sniper and im goin around in a ghost. Whiles he trying to no-scope, i go
full boost into him and the other guy. the red guy (were blue) throws a
gernade has im going in for the splatter, my friend & the red guy jump, i
go under my guy, the g-nade flips me up, just as he gets to the peak of
his jump, the tip of my seat hits him getting a 25-22 win and a awsome
saved clip. this took place on the center of the top.

2: team doubles, shotty/snipe, the pit, were blue, in the middle of the
game. Im coming from out of the rocket area, lookin into the sword
building window (were the mauler is). my friend is tell me 2 of them by
him, guess what, hes in the sword building in view from the window. the
red guys go up the ramp, i jump to get a better look and shot, hits both
red guys in the back, bouncing between my friends feet, off the wall and
hit his back. i jump again and shot, all of a sundden 2 headshot meadals
and a betrayel. i shot at an angle were it hit all 3 people in the face
all dieing.

Keep on ba bamin midgets from fantasy island, ridng weiners covered in

Hey podtacular this is beefnpotatos, I wanted to tell you about this rediculous kill I had on the pit in
team slayer. I was in the sword room and i just got done kicking ass, and
i noticed that my sword had just gone dry. I knew that this is my favorite
weapon and i had to take advantage of this. When i turn the corner i see an
opponent crouch walking with a sniper ready to kill. I rush him and hit him
once to take out his sheild and he shoots me to take mine. After I dodge
his melee i knock him in the head with my brass knuckes for the win. This
is my favorite moment i’ve had in halo 3.
Thanks for sharing this and keep on deploying dumplings!

On Halo 2 I seemed to be able to get overkill’s fairly easily, but on Halo
3 they just wouldn’t come =/ Buut finally i got mine =D It was in social slayer, on Snowbound. I was in the base where the
laser spawns, 2 guys came in I killed them both, in came another, beat him
down, and another beat him down I died….damn it… Then, shortly after I was there again and two guys came, double kill
with a plasma grenade…I ran outside, found another guy and killed him
with the AR…triple kill….then everything slowed down: a guy came out
of the shotgun spawn shooting me from behind…I turned round, threw a
grenade next to him and beat him down…OVERKILL!!! The show is ace, keep it up…Also, if anyone wants a game, add me

I got a tale from the foxhole that is pretty sweet. Me and my team
Seemingly Harmless were playing Shotty Snipers on The Pit and we were
losing pretty bad. I am terrible at sniping so I wasn’t helping my team
too much. Anyways I got on the platform in the middle and I walked around
the building looking over to one side and I saw a red guy in my scope, so I
figured, Hey, take the shot, easy kill; and right as i was going to pull
the trigger, another red guy spawned right behind him, and I nailed them
both in the head with one shot. I felt pretty big even though we lost
that game. It was cool. If you wanna see it check out my fileshare, my
gamertag is Serenade X.

Anywho, keep fraggin trucks and rock on Podtacular!

-Serenade X

Hey its PS Psych Out and I have just started to like podtacular and
downloaded it and this story is when i got lucky with the guardians. When i was playing a shotty snipers game on narrows it was 49-48 we were
losing ,I went through the man cannon to find a kill to tie it. Then one
of the other teams players went through to on the other side and we hit so
I killed him by making him fall and usually I would fall too so i got ready
to lose, BUT i was not dead so i looked down and my leg was off the ledge
of the other side and i was screaming guys i did NOT die and they were
amazed. I made a clip and you can download it off my file share and i
heard you guys talking about zippity doo daas and a new phrase so i
thought of a few. Keep on spiking ghosts, keep on assassinating noobs,
keep on sticking noobs, and keep on lagging noobs games.

hey podtacular this is DGX Ultimate. i have a cool and kinda funny story
bout this game on sandtrap. it was an average zombie game with zombies
havin hammers and all vehicles and such. anyways i was 2nd to last person
left so ihad bout 14 guys chasin after me round the ring of sandtrap. well
one hammer led to another and im sent flying in the air.with all these
zombies on the ground all tryin to get me its miraculous i survived.i also
made the scariest sight u will ever see in a zombie game. its alll on my
file share so check it out sometime. good luck with the show and keep on
fraggin zombies with giant hammers chasing you.

Well I was at a friends house playing 3 on live it was a social big team
slayer game on vahalla.
Normal, Right? Well, it was normal… Until the entire red team (red
was my teams enemy) gathered right where the our mancannon was sending
people. and one of them had a hammer another had a shotgun and one guy had
a sword.
So, I kept on yelling into my mic: DON’T TAKE THE MANCANNON IT’S
SLAUGHTER!!!!!!!!
But, everyone dismissed me for a lunatic and kept on going through the
mancannon…..

I’m embarresed to say this but this was the score at the end: 100-13 red
win…..

P.S. keep on fraggin purple bellied squirels, people who name thier
infection mode 28 days later, people wearing MK V armor, and that friggin
red team!!!

ok second submission. I have a funny story to tell. I was playing team
slayer with my friend on Snowbound. The game was glitching like mad. when
you died you would run around for like 30 seconds without a weapon and not
being able to do anything. having no weapon only throw grenades. not pick
them up. no beat downs, nothing. also,it said I commited suicide twice.
the first time I threw a plasma grende and it glitched so that I flew
infront of the grenade before it was thrown. it stuck me on the back and I
died, from my own grenade. the second time someone threw a grenade through
a bubble shield. thats right, THROUGH the BUBBLE SHIELD. WHAT? it stuck me
and then said I committed suicide. I was so confused by this. as I said I
was at my friends house. I am sorry but I don’t know if he wants his
gamertag up for everyone to see. so I am sorry to say that I will no
include his gamertag. but I am all for friends. my gamertag is oddfluence.
keep on fraging… whatever it is you frag now

Hey You guys, it’s Vote4Drizzt again, and i have a few for you,
once i was playing Assault on High ground(ranked) and i got my only ever
Extermination, i picked up the Mauler and charged in, i shot/beat one guy
and jumped down onto the ramp,leading into the bunker in the fortress, I
killed one in the doorway, and proceeded in i found two guys hunkered over
the bomb place(not sure of the name) and i Shot one Whacked the other and
Enjoyed my medal, it’s on my File share if you don’t believe.

Also once i was playing Shotty/Snipers on Valhalla, i suck at sniping so i
stuck to the side and crept up the side, i was behind their base when i saw
one of their people cap my buddy, I was behind him and he thought himself
safe, so i zeroed in a capped him, it was funny, he never knew what hit
him, i don’t have a vid but I can tell about it, even if you don/t believe
me

I was playing a custom game type on Guardian and I was fighting for the
last kill, when i threw a Grenade over the ramp near the needler spawns,
It hit the doohickey in the air and it landed near my friend, unaware we
continued to fight, but the grenade blew up and won the match for me, it
should be on my FS soon.

I was playing on Pit and grabbed the Rocket Launcher, I saw a guy headed
for the Sword, but he was not quite up the ramp, i jumped and fired at the
top of the ramp, it hit as he got there and blew him away, No vid, but it
is hardly an impossibility is it?

That’s about it, so keep on spanking Naked Mole Rats, with Liverwurst

Ola Guys! i Was Playin Live On H2 And Map Was Zanzibar. i was up in tower
gettin sword when out of no were, i get sniped!
i didnt die so aimed at guy who shot me(found him) and shot the poo out of
his bum! awesome eh?

Keep on fragin purple socks, wieners and buns and mitshubitsi trucks!

This is kbcmmm7667 here and I have a halarious tale from the Fox Hole. I
went over to my friends house to play some Halo 3 and we were playing Team
Doubles. We got into a Team BR on Snowbound. We started the game and
grabbed all of the power weapons and then began to scout for the enemy. To
our surprise we say both of them crouching close together in the middle of
the map above the underground “Mosh Pit”. Me and my friend looked at
eachother and wondered what they were doing. I slowly walked over and shot
both in the face with a shot gun. About ten seconds later they respawn and
we see them come out of the carbine base doing the samething. They did
this the whole game and me and my friend were cracking up. I got a
perfecton. In the post game lobby we asked them what they were doing and
they replied, “We were being penguins.” It was the funniest moment that
I’ve had on Halo 3.

Keep on fraggin’ trucks filled with senior citizens,
KBC

P.S. The film is in my friends file share. It’s called Team Slayer on
Snowbound.

hey podtacular dillonchipmonkey here. i luv your podcast and listen to it
all the time and u guys. just want to thank you guys for what u do. and
i have a quickk tale from the foxhole. on sand trap and my friend was
riding around in the mind field on the mongoose and i shot him in one shot
with the beam rifle in the head. then he said “i bet u cant do it again” so
he gets on the mongoose and i shoot him in the head at full speed in the
mine field except it took me 3 shots.

keep on fraggin people who tell you to frag people who make up stupid keep
on fraggin things.

Hey podtacular, just wanted to share a little tale from the foxhole. I was playing free for all slayer on guardian, and i man-cannoned up to the winding sniper area above the main platform, where two people were in a fight. i blindly threw a frag into their vicinity from my perch in the sniper platform, and sent them both flying. I heard the familiar “double kill”, and was satisfied with my nade-throwing skills. strangely enough, though, soon after, i heard “triple kill”, and was dumbfounded of how i had acheived it. when i looked at the saved film, i saw that, after my grenade had gotten me my double kill, someone had simply fallen to his death in the platform below, where the hammer is. i have no idea why i counted for my kill, but i’m not complaining. i ended up losing the game 25 to 24. the film is in my fileshare under lucky frag.

keep on fraggin mooses, mopeds, and red team,

Gabrial777 here. I was on the blue team with one of my friends,
mattyb423, on Valhalla. Nearing the end of a descent game of Big Team
Battle, I grabbed the Sniper riffle from underneath the base and jumped up
just to the left of the man cannon. From hear I picked up a double kill and
some head shots. Then I hear the distinctive sound of a mongoose ??? Out of
no where this guy, later to be discovered as Mocrata, flies up into my view
and gets promptly sniped in the head. Just on of those moments you have to
love about Halo 3. Its in my file share, Nice Snipe, on b-net. Love the
show, keep on fragging trucks and purple bellied quarrels. Good luck with
finding Nay Nay and the Secret Admirer.

Heres a tail from the small furry viscous mammals den( or so i’m told) i
was playing a game of team BR (battlerifle) on highground so any hoo about
10 minutes into the game i grabed the sparten laser. the right out the
turret den when i see my turret man detach the turret and start shooting.
later i notice theres a red guy on top of the turret den (i was blue) i
started charging my sparten laser. i jumped on top of the turret den roof
ran point blank up to the guy and fired my lazzer i killed him, got a
killing spree, got a lazzer award ( because i lasered him ) and committed
suicide. The videos on my file share (hairy begger) the video dosent show
the awards but the screenshot next to it does. Keep on fraggin unhairy
beggers

i have been listening to your podcasts for not long (about a week) and i
really wanted to send in somthing in. i’m english so i sound like a nub. i
was at my friends house and he let me have a go on his new live account. we
where playing on snowbound when i threw 2 plasma nades and a frag really
quickly at this guy and none of them appeared??? i lost the grenades from
my poutch though. i got killed and went into oricale mode on team
slayer…...
also i managed to pilot a anti air wraith (using your tips from the tsavo
highway podcast) it is really powerful but, extremly slow.
thanks for listening (i don’t have an xbox live acount but i do have a 360
and halo 3)
keep fraging strange little children wearing shorts, while driving a car
from james bond!!

Got a pretty cool kill a while ago in Match Making on Valhalla. I was at
the base near the water picking up some BR ammo, and I saw the man-cannon
and decided to push the fusion coil/core into it. Right after I did that
I saw a guy from the other team walk into the lower level of the base. So
I went down there and disposed of him with a quick grenade toss and a shot
to head. After I killed I got a double kill metal. Confused, I went back
into the theatre and saw that the fusion coil/core landed in the middle of
a fight (actually hit a guy on MY team), and ended up killing a guy on the
other team. I have two vids of this epic double kill, one showing the
fusion coil/core killing the guy, and the other showing me get the double
kill.

Its mattko1, first time submission, about 10 episode listener and have to
admit you guys are good! And JVB I heard you when you were on Uncle Gamer
just a few weeks ago and cracked up when you were talking about all the
cool 80’s shows at the end. OK onto tales from the foxhole… I personally
didn’t do this crazy stunt but a few weeks ago I was playing Lone Wolves on
snowbound and I was killed by this one guy who was crazy good with the
spartan laser. I was looking back on my saved game film of it and saw how
really good he was. He got a double kill with it before he went after me.
Just before the red beam hit me, one came up behind me and assassinated me, he immediately
got killed afterward by the laser. I realized that if that one guy wouldn’t
have had beaten me down the guy would have gotten an overkill with the
laser. Check it out in my file share under “crazy laser”. Shout out to
UnboundedRAMJAC for just being cool.

keep on fragging dumb marines who always get into the driver seat of the
warthog and drive right into the scarabs line of fire.

yo Foomoo and Jvb and whoever happen to be the useful co-hosts. man do i
have a story for you. well im sure many of you have heard about the ghost
of lockout, well recently during a forge mess around with a bunch of guys
from ODST we ran into some massive lag. well when the lag finally ended
about three people lagged out. when they lagged out ghosts or clones of
them were left on the map just staying there, there were two spartans and
one moniter which just stared at a tank as if it was curious as to why
there are rags attached to it.(yes believe it or not there are rags
attached to the Scorpion Tank). well when they jumped back into the game
they all looked at there clones in complete disbelief, they started
messing around with them as if they were retarded siblings, or something
around that area. well eventually we got to naming the three clones, we
called one Yarp, another one Narp, and just for your enjoyment i called
the moniter Nay-Nay. yes Podtacular i am admitting here and now that i
discovered Nay-Nay. i am currently researching Nay-Nay to find the secret
to making Nay-Nay come out of its hiding area. well if you need further
proof i will probably have a pic up of Nay-Nay in my file share by the
time my show goes up, as well as a film clip showing that it is no hoax.

another quick tale i would like to give is about an amazing Double Team
Match i had. me and my friend Markus Leoninus went into Team Doubles well
when the matched started within 2 mins he lagged out. i was left to fend
for myself. well amazingly i won the match by a lot! i had an almost
killing frenzy and a lot of Double Kills. it really made me feel good and
wonder could this be a sign telling me that i can beat Foomoo? who knows.

anyways shoutouts to Markus, Fear the Swoop, and my new friends Nay-Nay,
Yarp, and Narp.

keep on fragging newly discovered friends whos names happen to be Yarp,
Narp and Nay-Nay

hey one time while i was playing halo3 at my freinds house i was flying
around as a monitor and i was in front of the man cannon and my freind
drove a mongoose into the cannon and he slatered me in mid air.so thats
all for know. keep on fraggin noobs who play on easy but claim to be the
best then get made fun of on pod tv!!!!

This holiday season, xbox live was really laggy.
Also I was matchmaking and I joined a game. When the game started I got a
“game over” and a “You win!” message on the top of my screen
(unfortunately i got no xp :. I went to the matchmaking screen after
taking my frustration out on a helpless little pillow, and to my amazement,
the game said the population of halo was 0!
I’ve heard that Microsoft is going to pay back for the problems with live
with Microsoft points (which I will happily take) to fill the void, but
do you guys think that is enough?

Hey, GeneralHooah here! This is my first time sending in something , so
here goes! I have a couple of tales from the foxhole. One, a LONG time
ago, I got a double kill with one snipe. This was when I had just stated,
so I went back to check it out. I saw that they were next to each other,
moving sideways, and at that 1 in a million chance, they moved in line
like the ducks at the carnival, and I got a double kill! The other tale is
regarding the bugs still present in the game. I was playing Slayer on High
Ground one day, and I was walking near the little inlet on the left side
of the main base. I had noticed something odd. It was, to my surprise; a
grenade. More specifically, a BOUNCING grenade! Both are on my file share,
but the grenade one is a film clip. I am a new member here at Podtacular,
and would just like to say great job on the podcast, and keep on fragging
pizzas!

hey foomojive this is dillonchipmonkey and for some reason my comp. wont
show the text box on the submit stuff for podcast link so ill try sending
it to you, so please if you get this before the dead line put it in the
show. (and you can leave this part out thanks)

Hey podtac people this is dillonchipmonkey and i have a tale from the
foxhole! me and my friend were playing on sandtrap and he had a splazer
and i was in a banshee and he had nicked me once with the splazer and i
hadnt died yet. so he was charging and right when he shot i got out and
the banshee fell to the ground in a plasma-ey explosion. we were both in
the wide corridor btwn the two long structures and i fell down and threw
out my sniper while falling and rotated to face him and before he could
pull out his sniper and shoot me i shot him in the head just as i hit the
ground. also in that game he was running through the minefield on a
mongoose and i sniped him a full speed from the long structures twice in a
row, he went out there twice, with only 2 shots.
Keep on fraggin people who say to frag people for making up stupid keep on
fraggin stuff.

hey foo mo, JVB, and who ever is lucky enough to geust host this episode of
podtacular (i envy you). just a quick note before i start, im sorry to
every one at podtacular who i play online with ( 1st marine, lilkuke,
chuckiej, etc.) im so sorry that i havent been on in a while. just over
the summer life hit me like a bh with a big a bag of bricks (in both
good and bad ways) i apologize to you all, but im back and im back with a
vengence. ok so now i have two quick tales from the fox hole, so lets roll
em out.

first: this tale comes from the beta, (yes the beta), now when my friends
and i unlocked the custom games we started playing a game that was a
normal 4×4 snipers match well we had set the time limt to uinlimited and
about 16 hours and somewhere between 6-8,000 kills later i realized that i
couldnt feel my hands that they were just going on auto pilot, like i
couldn’t stop them. i started to freak out but like my hands were stuck to
my controler and they kept playing even when i wasn’t. this scared the
liveing hell out of me and i started to realize that i felt like that kid
from the tommy rock opera movie (hell yeah to all the old school rockers
out there, the who kick a). i was like the pin ball wizard but not as
good and with halo 3 not pinball. it was a great day or 16 hour match XD.

(editors note: if you guys are pressed for time and can only read one of
these please read the second one, thanks SGO)

second this one time my friend ryder and i were sitting in a pre game
lobby and we were playing with theese random people we met and i swear
this one guy was high on something. we figured cause he kept on talking to
his modem. but then just out of nowhere he goes. “guys…i think my modems
evil…” when we asked him why he said ” its looking at me funny and its
blinking its light at me too”. we were all silent for a second then he
goes” omg it walking towards me!!!” now were all laughing, then out of
nowhere (again) my friend ryder says “GEUSS WHAT?? YOUR MODEMS GONNA
EAT YOU!!!!!!” at this the guy flipped out freaking screaming his head
off, thinking his modem would kill him. now durring/after the match my
friend and i were laughing our a*es off, when we asked the guy what
happened hes responded “its all good dudes, my modem and i, we made peace
bros” so laughing we played another couple rounds and then went to sleep.

ok until next time podtacular this is SGO signing off keep on fraggin
trucks

p.s. i dont get all the stupid bs outros like wtf is “keep on fraggin
pooey nut logs covered in homocide sause” whats that supossed to mean?!??
please keep it simple and old school
ok quick shout outs to lilkuke, chris (aka 1st marine), chuckie j, all my
homies at podtacular, and to sqweryl, omg dude i filany got to tell my
story of death by modem! XD i finaly got to do it.

Hey Podtacular. Got a few cool things for this week.
First time submitting by the way.
Anyway, I was playing matchmaking team slayer on High Ground. I spawned
just after I saw my enemy with the Splazer at the Splazer spawn. I tossed
a grenade up there randomly, then got a beat down with my AR. I heard
“Double Kill”, and I’m guessing it was the Fusion Coils up there.
Next, I was playing a link up game on High Ground, and it was Mad Dash
with 9 players. I was the Juggernaut, and threw a spike grenade at
someone, and it stuck him in a “weird place” (hoping you get it).
Next, I was playing a Crazy King on Narrows, I was a Corporal back then,
(sergeant, Gr 2 now) against a lieutenant, a captain, and some others
higher than me. I was losing for quite a while, with no score. Then
suddenly I started totally kicking ass and after a while, when I died, I
looked at the scoreboard and thought, “Hey, look at that. I’m winning.” I
was winning about 60-50 or so, and after a while it was around 70-65. I
got into the hill and I was up to 73 when I died and I heard “10 seconds.”
I knew it would be a close one. I was running at full pelt into the hill,
and I was 10 meters away when the game ended 74-73-73. One of my best
games.
Last, a tip for you on Valhalla (not covies). This is really hard, because
other people like to get the Banshee and sniper. When you spawn at the
base, get a BR, and SR (sniper). Then take the banshee before anyone else
(the hard part). Next the easy part. Fly to the top of the base structure
and you’ll see a ledge. Land on there, and be careful not to fall off. I
did that once at the end of a game. From up there you can move see a
smaller ledge to the side which curves around the base. you can walk along
that and provide covering fire for your teammates up there.
Anyway, gamertag Assassin073 (no spaces), Keep on fraggin’ trucks on
foundry.
P.S. In response to LilKook last week. I took the banshee on The Covenant
on my third shot at it. I had 60 when I first tried. Wasn’t that hard.
P.P.S. Can someone please tell me how to upload Hi-Res Screenshots and
Glory shots for Bungie.net?

alright, 6th submission (psst. don’t use my forth if you use this, thanks)
ok so I was playing a game snowbound with my friend, he wanted to get
expierence so we used his gamertag, meaning I don’t have the film. but
anyways. on snowbound the game was laging so badly, that when you died you
could keep walking around for a couple seconds. I actually killed someone
with a grenade after I was killed. amazing!! but there were two strange
sticks that confused me. my favorite one was when I threw a plasma grenade
and I never saw it again until I exploded a few seconds later. what
happened was that I moved in front of the grenade because of the lag, the
grenade stuck me in the back and I died. :( o well. this next one happened
in the same game. it was near the tunnel without the shield door in the
middle of the map. someone on the other team threw a bubble shield as
another one on their team threw a plasma shortly after. once again because
of the lag the grenade actually went through the bubble shield and stuck
me. :( ok well that is my tale from the foxhole but I have a question. do
you use all of the submissions sent in? it seems that whenever I send
something in you use it (except for the forth one) o I almost forgot.
there is one other thing that happened the other day. I was playing a
custom game of Grifball. and I smashed my hammer several times and in a
few seconds I racked up a triple kill then shortly after I got a
killtacular. o well keep on fragging stuff with wheels

Well, I got a tale from the Foxhole.

Some nice healthy Team Slayer on Rat’s Nest.
When I spawned, got on the Warthog and pwned some nubs.
But, my reign of terror was quickly ended with a Gravity Hammer swing at
my face.
So next I got on the Mongoose alone to get back in the action.
I arrived at the large open area and saw a firefight between 2 of our men
and our Warthog with only a man on the turret.
They were fighting the enemy 3 men and Ghost.
I snuck behind the Ghost, ready to jack it, before it went into full
throttle reverse into my chest.
My hardy ODST let out a yell like a little school girl when she has her
lolly taken away.

Keep on fraggin’ the orange toed gremlins who eat your pickles with some
hearty mustard at 1:02 A.M.

one time i was playing rumble pit and it was a swords game on epitaph. the
game was going good but i was down. so i decided to wait in the middle for
some people to show up. i ended up gettin an overkill and a few double
kills. the vid is on my fileshare called sword ownage.
keep fraggin trucks just like bungie wants us to.

peace.

I have a tale from the Foxhole.

So I was playing with Permit2Kill and Zervon SF from Second foundation. We got Team Slayer on Snowbound. Most of the game was fought underground
as you can imagine. We fought in a spread-out ofrmation so that the
grenades would not harm all of us at once. The other team seemed obsessed
with walking right next to each other (they did in fact get stuck in a
tunnel more than once which was HILARIOUS) Near the end of the game I
happened to find myself in the possession of a spartan laser. I looked
down a tunnel and saw the entire team coming down it. I charge up, get
read to fire, and just as the beam leaves my gun Zervon and Permit run
down the hall with shotguns. Double Kill!.....betrayal….betrayal.

Sadly I forgot to save the film and my sisters played Rock Band while I
was doing school so the recent films list was deleted.

Killazilla

I literally wet my seat with laughter during a team slayer match thanks to
the voice proximity thing.
On the Pit I found myself face to face with 2 of the enemy on top of one
of the turrets outside the sword house. It was one of those “im going to
die unless I pull something special off moments”. To my surprise as the
shooting started one of them decided to throw a health restorer (friendly
green cloud) which meant the battle lasted a lot longer than usual.
I was close enough to hear them & during the exchange of fire they were
both literally screaming “WAA WAA!!” “OMG!” “SHOOT HIM SHOOT HIM” WAAA
WAAA!!!. They sounded like Kermit the frog being repeatedly kicked in the
head. It was so funny, they had me laughing like a demented hyena as I
took them both out with a big smile on my face :)

To this day I still wonder if they had the feature turned on & they could
hear me shooting them both while laughing like a maniac.

The moral of the story is ensure you have the voice proximity option on as
it can provide you with real gem’s every now & then.

Keep on Fraggin trucks & smiling but confused chimpanzees

hi, its dabenny17 (again)
i was playing on the level ‘the ark’ with my mate on co op. we got to the
part when 2 hunters drop out of the ‘drop’ship and attack you. i sniped
one hunter, through the head and killed it in one shot. (woop woop) the
other got angry and charged my mate, i came up behind it and spanked it on
the but. it turned to hit me but, my friend spanked the hunters but like i
did, before it hit me. it turned to him and i spanked its but again! this
happened for about 20 times before the hunter fell to the ground, all the
armor on its anus had disapeared. (i’m sorry but, i don’t have a live
account)
keep on fraging elites, with no shields, saying ‘get me a donut’ to master
chief.
woooooooop wooooooooop!!

Hey guys, a tale from the foxhole from me:
It was the start of a social slayer game on the pit, so i picked up the BR
an the first thing i did was shoot the barrels infront of me, just like the
guy did and that video where the cone killed himself. And guess what
happened…. The cone came flying at my face, killing me. Ouch :( But not
only that, part of the barrell also killed one of my team-mates. lol.
Hope you enjoyed my little tale from the fox hole and i can has recon?
Anyway, shoutout to all the British Guys in Podtacular!

Hello everyone, me again.I just wanted to share a tale I have. One time
while playing Valhalla, I was running towards the enemy base and a guy
took a mongoose off the mancannon. He got off of it in mid-air, but the
mongoose kept on traveling and hit me in the face. I died. If you want to
see it, it’s in my fileshare. My Gamertag is Settingsun010

Keep on fraggin trucks that get fragged by the Podtacular: Unofficial
Halo Universe podcast members who get fragged by skilled players of Halo 3
who are almost fragged by noobs but they’re noobs so the frags miss the
skilled players and hit the noobs own team so they’re embarrassed and
they quit the game to play Viva Piñata but then they realize all of their
piñatas died because they thought that Viva Piñata was a baby game so
they stopped playing and started playing Halo 3 until they realized they
were noobs so they stopped playing Halo and tried playing Viva piñata
again but nothing was left in their garden.

Hey guys, its plasma qrenades…i have a tale from the fox hole for you
guys…My one friend was talking to us a few days ago and he told us about
a dream he had…He continued on to say that he dreamed that he was a
covenant drop ship…it was really hard to not make fun of him…
See you later

Hey guys Nick here for another tale from the foxhole.. ok.. so I was
playing some griff ball awhile back with foo mo and a few other ppl and it
was neck and neck with the score tied at 2 and we needed one last score.
People were trying everything to get a score even cheating (frowny face).
After about 10 min i relized the bomb was in front of me. I picked it up
and had just about everyone on the other team comming at me with hammers.
I looked left. and then right. turns out i was surrounded so i yelled for
help from my friend Jake behind me and he hit his hammer on the ground. I
started to go flying through the air. Everyone on the other team could
only watch as I ploped right on to the scorespace from the top of the map.
It was great.

Hey Podtacular, Chiny33Just Want You To Put This Tale On The Show Not My
Other Ones. Any Way, I Was Playing Halo 2, ( My 360 fell down the stairs,
ARG!!!) And I Was On The Snowy Map, Forget What The Name Of the Map Is,
And I Shot A Fusion Tube And Commit Suicide! But Looking At The Body,
Master Chiefs Helmets Gone! It Was So Cool! Send Me a message on the site
if you want the pic! Peace Out! Keep On Fraggin Nay Nay! Shout Outs To
Kapn Krunk, Foo Moo Jive, JVB, and All The Members On Podtacular!

This is my first submission to the show and I have been listening since
Episode 90-ish. Here is my tale from the foxhole. So, I was playing team
slayer on Guardian. A person started shooting me with an AR in the middle
area. I was looking for him and when I finally saw him, I knew it was too
late to shoot him and kill him and I had no nades. So, I did the most
logical thing to do: run. As I ran, I shot him with my AR. I ran into the
room with the grav lift and, from previous experiences, knew that this guy
was a n00b. I just hid around the corner in that room and waited. After
about 3 seconds, he came into the room looking for me. I assassinated him
when he walked past me. noob. In the end, my team won the game. Great
show, and keep on fragging noobs.

Wrap up

Until next time I’m Foo Mo Jive (and this is)
