  • Around The Ring – Submission Invite

    Hello Podtacular. I’m putting this one up nice and early because I’m hoping to get a lot of input for this one. It’s going to be the first in hopefully a series of discussions and debates. This first one is an issue that affects gamers of every kind, and even goes beyond that. Three letters…

  • Wow. Just… wow.

    So Halo (the original game) was released in November, 2001 – and within a month or so, folks were exploring the boundaries of the maps. 2002 was the ‘Golden Age’ of Halo tricking; the Xbox hadn’t been hacked yet, and Halo PC wasn’t out yet, so folks were getting out of the maps the old-fashioned…

  • Spartan vs. Spartan

    urk stopped in over the weekend (careful, urk, it’ll become part of your job description if you keep doing that) to post word of a stop-motion Halo machinima. It’s not what you might think – it’s not action figures, filmed in stop-motion… it’s Halo 3 action, filmed in stop-motion. Watch it to see what the…
