Podtacular: The Unofficial Halo Universe Podcast

Podtacular Episode 197: Customs and Creations
for the week of July 19th, 2009

(Hosts: Dust Storm, GLewis, ChuckieJ & Domaku)

Opening Discussions

Introduction (Domaku)

Random Frags

Hey Podtcular. It is NiteRhino and I would like to know if anyone knows what Halo Reach is supposed to be about besides the fact that it will probabaly take place on Reach and there will be spartans.

Keep on Fragging Trucks . . . . . Oh sorry I forgot the midgits and fartjuice, I know thats GLewis’ favorite part.

Hey podtacular I just saw that a guy called A Baked Grunt submitted, I remember his podcast, H3MVP, or Halo 3 mods video podcast. It was pretty cool. I just thinks its a little odd that he lives in Oz as well and he has been listening to podtacular for a while I just thought it was a pretty cool quinkydink.
Keep on fragging fart juice monkeys before they melt your truck with their fart juice.
This is a mushroom who grows with the flood, signing off.

I heard you guys on the latest podcast that you wanted some feedback on the intern postion for podtacular. I think you should wait a few months and try it again. This time I think you should talk more about it. Maybe pimp it on your show a little bit. Because people like me are lazy and need it reinforced to actually send it to you. That’s just what I think.
ODST EJY

Just wanted to thank u guys for havin me on the show last week. If u ever want me on again just let me know. Sorry about the poor sound quality though i wasnt 2 well.

keep on truckin’ frags which were thrown by nay-nay

So, i’ve reisted podtacular for the first time in a long time.

And the sites really down graded, which i read about awhile back.

Just out of interest, to get the site we’re to back to it’s old state, what would it take to do that?

E3 episode was interesting

Gentlemen…

I can’t think of anything to submit! The last two episodes were great, and thanks for accepting my friend requests… well, aside from GLewis, who hasn’t accepted it yet… Well, to the main point of my submission:

Keep on fragging crazy midget n00bs who Dust Storm tries to snipe, but they say “That’s unaseppable.” and make him sit in the naughty corner of the failboat which they scuttle without telling him, but he’s rescued by a flying Nay Nay and they ride off into the sunset on their purple tandem folding bike of despair, but wind up at a Macca’s owned by Mackeo who suddenly ambushes them but is hit by a truck that is being driven by Veto, the alpaca, who proceeds to get beaten down by a bottle of fart juice wielded by Super Tranny who gives him a time-out.

Shout out to every Podtacular guy on my friends list, which is Captain planet, Dust Storm, Fungus Oz, adswellfit, and NOT GLewis because when I sent this in he wasn’t my friend yet! Okay, you get a shout out too.

Customs and Creations

Dragon635

Hey Podtacular, it’s Dragon635! Third submission! I’m going to be talking about my maps.
Just as GLewis suggested, I’m going to purposely have wrong spelling at
certain times.
Exceptions are obvious words such as: I, me, as, a, etc. etc. and the names of my maps. No offense to my peers, but I took their mistakes and used it on here.
REMEMBER THIS IS ON PURPOSE!

I hvae a few mapz I would wnat 2 show u guyz 2day. I got a infcetion map and a racetrac, and posseibly a Caputr teh Fag map. I also hvae made a map witch makes teh Elephnt on Sandtarp fly.

1-up (First up), teh infcetion map. Is named Hide n’ Seek 7. It has a gametyype also named Hide n’ Seek 7. It is a map in witch the zombiez invade teh sky buble. Check out teh rest of my map in ur gameplay. Ther is a hiden rocker launcher.

Both the racetrac and the Captur teh Flag map is currentely being worked on by me. Next I will make a map that can be useed for rael matchz. Soon all of them will be on my fileshare with gametyypes.

All of them are awesom.
Gamertag: Dragon635

Check em’ out!

Shout-outs: All Podtacular crew, Crypto who doesn’t come back, AtlanticKnight, and all my other Xbox Live homies!

Keep on fraggin’ insurance companies that call me telling me that I am in danger.

Tbone110

I hope this is how you submit customs and creations…

Anyway this is Tbone110 submiting my new map Holdout. I created Holdout on Sanbox in the crypt. It consists of a fort for the humans. The entrance to the fort is guarded by TWO turrets. If the zombies get past them they will find themselves in a big room full of Asault Rifles, Special Asualt Rifles, a Snipe, and a Exploding Spatula launcher (a.k.a Rocket Launcher). If the zobies do reach this room the Humans have the option of heading upstairs or going in a teleporter. If they go upstairs they will find a big room guarded by plasma cannons. It also has sentinel beams and a Spatula. If they went through the teleporter they will find themselves in a small room full of shot guns. The small room is balanced because of its tight space. ( Use my L45 game type if you play on this map )

Keep on fragging CkPassler, Layzear, and Demeletion, with exploding spatula launchers.

Noah G

Hey, podtac. im a huge fan of yur podcasts and have a good map/gametype for u. Its Search and Destroy from Call of Duty 4. you have to collect the bomb and bring it to one of the enemy generators, shrines, pillars, e.t.c. Im gunna make more maps for it, and my next one is gonna be on sandbox. my gamertag is “the blood hud.” keep on fraggin’ evil pink zombie bunnies who spew fart juice who eat purple carrots which function as mutant steroids.

Wakashi

What’s up TUHUP. This is my first submission to your show. I like this show because to me it reflects Halo 3 in the way it rarely has graphic dialogue and it reaches out to a boarder crowd than what the game’s rating is suggested to be. Anyway, I have a map in the Crypt on Sandbox that I call Fort Dry-Bones. It’s an asymmetrical map that has an outlying section and a mid-section which are divided by walls of blocks that have some ramps and walkthroughs between the two sections. The mid-section (or courtyard) has a sword, a trip-mine, a bubble shield, and drainer on a higher platform. The scenery consists of fusion coils resting on the sides and a gravity lift which I’ve used plenty of times to see over the walls in case of an ambush or to get to other places faster. There’s a rocket launcher at the top of the fort’s main entrance and a Spartan laser on the opposite corner. The outlying exterior for map has the red and blue bases, a sniper at the red base and a shotgun at the blue’s. There’s two power-ups that are within equal reach of both teams. There’s an invis in a tunnel on one corner and an over-shield on the other. There’s plenty of rifles scattered on the map also. This map is good for FFA, Team Slayer, Multi-Flag, and KotH. This version of the map is in my fileshare, but unfortunately it’s not the version I’m completely satisfied with. I fixed up the map’s geometry and weapon placements based on feedback I got about the version I’m submitting. My 360’s disc drive is screwed up for some reason so I can’t play Halo or anything on a disc unless I play on my friend’s Xbox. I’ll switch the old version of this map with the new one as soon as I can. I was just about to apologize for this long entry by saying “ I’m sorry, I know I said ‘blank’..’blank’..’blank’ ” , but then I remembered that joke that Master Chief made to Arbiter after his long explanation about how the Heroic Map pack should’ve been free. I hope most people that are listening to this podcast have the time to check out my map. (P.S. Keep playing Halo before your Xbox brakes like mine)!

ShiningPhoenix4

Howdy all it is me the shining magical bird of xbox live who loves the feel of bubbles on his feathers. I would like to ask if there are any australians whose gamertag has anything to do with a bird contact me to join my Aussie Birds team and we will play all different types of matchmaking games. now to my customs and creations. some of you guys might like obstical courses. so i am making and obstacal course for teams of 2. so bacically it is a 2v2 race where each obstacle u have to work as a team to complete. i am 99percent shore that no1 can complete this course by them self. this course will test players to the abilities with blind sniper challenges, extreme mongoose tricks and courses, jumping and many more i hope u guys enjoy my team course
Shout outs to my school buddies fungus oz, a miniPhoenix, zombieguy5 and hi to other xbox live friends gutsykyle, sian117 and any1 of my friends.

keep on fraggin trucks that wear anus armour when they go to get an iceblock while in the middle of recording a podcast.

Funnyboy78

Hey guys it’s funnyboy78, riding in on da failboat!
The map me and my freinds made is for peole likeme and my freinds…I’m talking about stupidpeople who like to be dumb ;) the map name is “angy neigbors” (lol failboat) and basicly this is how it goes. There’s a hick(redneck) with a small crappy house….and a nuclear reactor… There’s a rich man with a two story house, and a teleporter that takes you to a small base in the middle of the gaurdians by the skull. And finaly there’s Brian’s house. We never realy got around to figuring his house out because he joined in the middle of the match and started randomly building it. I’ll have it on my fileshare. Shoutouts go to intigrated graphics, my motherboard, my crappy keybord, my medium quality sound, duststorm chuckiej Razza 119, white_lite 1 and of course…the DustStormProductions team (currently me dusty and white lite) keep on fraggin retarded hobo midgets who try to take a ride on the failboat but don’t have enough money for the ride so they hitch a ride on a truck carrying folding bikes coverd in fart juice, menwhile in another part of town, dusty is living a happy life as a young college student. He is taking a walk on a lovely afternoon, whene he looks at his watch to see what time it is. That’s whene he realizes….it’s been stolen!!! He falls to his knees and shouts to the world “WHY?!!?” he goes into a deep state of deppression. He is so depressed that whene he plays funnyboy at guitar hero…....he loses. He buigins drinking… The only thing he has left is his computer…as it slowly becomes devoured by a Trojan downloader, he realizes that there is nothing left for him on this eath…he grabs his gun…but just whene he is to fire the wepon…the doorbell rings. He opens the door…looks to the ground…and there…laying….waiting for him…his watch…and a new copy of an anti-virus program. He jumps with joy!! He wears his watch proudly once more as he installs the anti-virus prgram…which eradicates the Trojan downloader. He starts kicking funnyboy’s blam! at guitar hero once more. All is well… Funnyboy78 signing out

ODST EJY

Basically I made a pretty sweet one flag map. The defense spawn in the castle area. This is basically a huge a circle of walls with two towers on the side and one opening with a shield door on it. There is a tank propped up on scafoldings that I put two walls on the side of it so it doesn’t move. This castle has a few weapons in it. The offence have a banshee and some mongooses. That and some heavy weapons and a ton of cover. There is a teleporter in some cover. I’ll let you find out where they go. Just a hint, it leads two other ways. My gamertag is ejy126svlee. On my fileshare. Sorry for the long submission guys. Keep on fraggin trucks that frag GLewis because he is so pro because he uses his Special AR to kill all of str8 rippin, triggaz down, and final boss with one three round burst. Then Makeo comes along and G shows how much more pro he is then mackeo by eating more hot dogs than Mackeos entire squad of hot dog eaters. But then G gets so fat he farts out all his fart juice, which I take to trick midgets that it’s My signature pownage cream. They all die and i ride off the edge of Rats Nest laughing on Foo Moo’s folding bike. Shout outs to the Never Back Down Clan, A+ Machinima Productions, and A Noobs Guide to Halo Blog.

TheEvilWombat

Hi TheEvilWombat here first submission, another “listener from across the pond”, Scotland to be exact. ISpend a lot of time in forge createing screen shots I’m pretty proud of them if I say so myself they are in my file share, I am also in the middle of creating a map in the sky bubble in sandbox I call it space sphere. You start in a medium sized sphere with the other players, it’s covered in man cannons and grav lifts which bounce you around the sphere while you try to stick your opponents after 3 miniutes fusion coils spawn to take out the remaining players till there’s one left, it will be in my file share soon. Sorry for the lengthly submission. P.S the ozies were freaking halarious last week :) T.E.W signing out.

rabid diharrea

It is rabid diharrea here, and I am glad you guys like my gamertag from the Halo Wars episode, with a Custom Map and Gametype. My frinds and I made a Foundry map variant of the popular Call of Duty 4 map Shipment, with a couple of additions. There is random weapons around the map, like in Old School Mode, including a sniper, a special assault rifle, a carbine, and right in the middle, a shot gun with a lot of ammo. The gametype is Old School Mode, which has the same health and jumping ability as the CoD version. Both are in most likely in my file share, and if not, then it will be shortly. Thanks to LaserJSC, GAMEMASTER 042, and xtcx Exitiums for working on the map with me.
Keep on fraggin suicide grunts and people who make fun of your gamertag in the pre-game lobby and then get owned by me in the game.

soccersac

this is my second post yea sooo i have a customs and creations well me and my friend were playing on narrows and we decided to make a zombie map so we deleted all the objects and spawn point ecept for the 4 or 5 in the very back so we leave those and put a 2 way teleporter on both sides in the middle of the spawn point for one reason so the zombie could go though it and sneak up on the humans if they forgot about the teleporter and then we piled up all the weapons we could on the bridge on the bottom lvl of the map and that my custom and creation so keep on fraggin truck and BAM said the lady quote from nathon fillion wooo bye

Tbird007

Hey Tbird007 here again hoping not to be the last submission again but anywazs lets get on with my map… um well i don’t have Xbox live or as i have stared to call it the Gbox after GLewis the best host… but i made a map on snowbound called (drum roll please) snowbounds. its just a better version of snowbound with plasma turrats and Green Guns. i hope that you guys don’t get mad at me for calling the Xbox the Gbox. anyways keep on fraggin host’s and guest’s that send in there own subbmissions (except Glewis hes cool.)

TheSlayerMayor

Hey, TheSlayerMayor is here with a custom and creation. It’s not mine but it is really good. It’s called Pearl Harbor…I think. It’s on avalanche and the apanese peoples get banshees and hornets while the Americans are on a ship which floats over the edge of avalanche. They have a non movable tank. A bunch of heavy machine guns and some rockets. The goal of the game is to plant the bomb on the ship and watch it explode. That is it and I’m sure you’ll be able to find it at bungie.net. Keep on biking folds

thatlolguy

This is my second submission… Not sure if I was on the last episode or not I haven’t listened yet but I most likely would have by the time this episode is out. So I’m submitting about a map and gametype that I created on Sandbox. The gametype is OMFG and the Map is WTF. Basically all players are invincible and and have 300 percent speed and 50 percent gravity. Sounds n00by but the objective of the gametype is to hit other players with your Grav Hammer into the killballs. The map is randomly littered with explosives and a telleporter to make gameplay more risky. The four Kill Balls are placed in the corners of the Crypt and the Telleporter is in the middle which leads into any of the four kill balls. This Map was originally created as something to do while I was bored but I have recieved fairly positive feedback. Its up on my fileshare and my GT is thatlolguy. Keep on fraggin midget trucks that have giant lazer cannons on their heads that turn people into lumpy hairy pineapples thats favourite pass time is playing Gears of Halo Theft Auto 5.

Fungus Oz

Hey fellow podtacians, this is the cause of athlete’s foot writing in with a cool custom racetrack for yall.

It is called Distortion, and is in Sandbox’s skybubble.
Although it is only 80% complete, it seems to be shaping up well. I have fashioned it in such a way that it is different most times you finish a lap, as on each of the 2 superjumps, the 4 man cannons are placed differently. Go up one from a certain angle, and you will land upside down. Find the right angle for the right man cannon and you will land perfectly without losing any forward momentum, giving you an edge. There is also a section where one path is slower but gives you extra weapons(For battle tracks)ie Needler, Trip mine and plasma [istoleyour]pistol[a]. GLewis will crack that code if it is to hard for you to solve, Dusty.
This map has taken about 4 hours to make, and will probably take 1 or 2 more. It wil be in my fileshare soon.
Keep on Fraggin munchkins who hijacked foo mo’s folding bike and made him summon the power of Nay Nay upon that little person, who just wanted lollipops to feed his starving guild. After Foo Mo realised the wrong he had done, he tied himself to a train track and died. But his ghost forever haunts Shotgunfriendly and everyone else who thought SPNKR was pronounced Spunker, chanting SPANKER, SPANKER, SPANKER whilst they sleep.
This is the Fun Guy from the land of maccas signing off.
