Hi I’m Tony_the_sniper, and i was wondering if you could start a Xbox connect clan cause some people (me for example) are unfortunate and don’t own Xbox live. I also have quite many friends who also listen to your show and don’t have Xbox Live. I also have a tip if you are being sniped:Never jump you are a stting duck in the air and thanks, keep up the great work, and I love your podcast. Thanks, Bye – Loyal listener since Episode 1

• Also, Jet Pilot says:

as you all know i don’t have xbox live ( no credit card). I am a huge fan of xbox connect and i am looking for a XBC Pro user to start up a Podtacular Xbox Connect Clan .So if you guys think this is a good idea i’ll go ahead looking for members.

Cheers , Jet pilot

So you need a premium (pro) account on this to set up a clan, so if someone can do this, email us at podtacular@gmail.com and let us know!

hey guys, I was wondering if you could maybe announce on the show and ask people to join my group
killtacular on bungie.net. My group is on 60 day probation with only 34 days to go while i type this
tonight. My group is one where you can come to talk strategy and if you are a part of the killtacular
clan you can talk about clan matches. Thanks

This is kinda cool, I was bored last night, so i was using my shortwave radio. Short wave radio is a frequency that once broadcast, can be picked up anywhere else in the world, like HAM radio. Short wave works best at night, when the ionisphere becomes the least active. Anyway, on to what i have to say. I was scanning through, and all of a sudden i hear some familiar music. I stop on that channel, and listen, and after tweaking a few filters, i got a clear sound, and there was Podtacular! Don’t ask me the frequency, i cannot remember it. Being shortwave, it could have been being broadcast from across the street, or from Antarctica.

Nyko Air Flo EX Controller for Xbox

http://www.nyko.com/nyko/products/?i=9

This controller has a built in fan to cool your sweaty hands during marathon sessions of Halo 2. The fan is very powerful nad keep my hands dry most of the time. This is the best controller out on the market. I give it 9/10. Priced at 24.99 NOTE: there is a wireless mocle avalable, but the batterys do not last more than 5 hours with the fan on full blast. Get the wired one.
