This is the Update Show, (explanation)

Community News

Podtacular is a community podcast (the first of it’s kind that we know of), with 1200 site
members, 1300 listeners, and 13 Halo 2 clans. Explain briefly our rec and pro clans and how to
join.

We’ve made a lot of progress with our recreation – pro – all-stars progression. We now have pro
clan scouting events every week or two, which connects the pro and rec clans. We also have a
new All-Stars lead: GLewis! We have a bunch of new pro clan overlords

New pro clan tournament season in the works – Jonnysan and Dialpex are working on it

Halo News

Still no official word from Bungie about Halo 3, but a fake description arose recently on the web.

Web Resources

sickNasty inc says:

There is an awesome website that I have been using where you can create
tournaments with cash payouts. It’s totally legit because the money is
all handled through paypal. The website is tourneyref.com. There are
hardly any tournaments being played at the moment because there are not
a lot of members on the website. You can host other games on there too
but its mostly Halo 2 being played. And don’t worry the buy-ins for
tournaments can be no more than 5 bucks so you won’t go broke. I want
to get the message out so there can be more members on the site and I
can start playing again.

No Ammunition says:

You know you’ve been playing Halo 2 for too long if you sit down for
dinner, pick up your fork and in the corner of your eye, it says:
Hold X to pick up spoon
Hold Y to dual-wield spoon

you know you have problems if it says anything in the corner of your eye

Mintz says:

You know you play too much Halo 2 if you STRAFE around corners in REAL
LIFE. Put the controller down, man.

You know you play too much Halo 2 if you complain about lag in a
physical sport.

Chase says:

you know you are playing to much halo2 when: you start signing you papers whith your gamer tag,
you beat some one so bad that they start to cry, you try to shoot the cat and then yell in frustration
because you left your gun in your locker at school.

chase, you need therapy, man.

Dialpex says:

You know you have played halo too much when you walk into a restaurant and
note that if the 3 or 4 employees behind the counter stood a little close
together, you could take them all out with a single rocket.

Colin Thompson says:

You know your playing too much Halo 2 when you keep a copy of the game, the strategy guide, and an
ethernet cable with you at all times.

but no xbox and no controller? no TV or cables??

You know your playing too much Halo 2, when every time you play a board game, you call the master
chief game piece.

monopoly style I guess, like the car. wouldn’t work too well in sorry.

You know your playing too much Halo 2 ,when you start talking to people in 1337

you know you don’t play halo 2 when you talk in 1337. Who talks that way in Halo 2? If you say
woot you know you spend too much time on the internet, though. (guilty)

Juice 57 says:

you know you play too much halo 2 when you are playing in a soccer
game and you are down by one with 1min to go and your on the bench you
yell to the players on the field turn on your mods!!!!

and those players do this (explain)

TollboothWilley says:

You know your playing too much halo when your favorite ncaa
basketball(UCONN) team hits a three to win the game and you get up and
yell at the tv triple kill. (conversation about pro sports)

and smack the TV and tell your mom to get you some mother-f’ing chocolate milk
