Send in your custom games for the Customs and Call-ins show!

Episode 50 has been recorded and our sound guru, Freak in a Box, is hard at work on editing it. But it's coming up quick on Thursday, and that's when we'll be recording episode 51: Podtacular Customs and Call-ins.

Oh yeah it's custom night... and the feeling's right...

Now we really don't need any more call-ins this time because since we're only doing this show type once a month, we have TONS of call-ins. We probably won't be able to play them all. We do, however, need some cool custom games. So if you have a cool custom that you play, or you find one elsewhere, let us know about it and who made it and we'll put it on the show. Use the Submit news and tips link on the right side to send in that custom.

It's national storytelling month. No, really.

Which makes it a perfect time for you to send in your favorite tale from the fox hole. This is our little name for funny or cool stories you have from playing Halo. So let us know! Once again, use the Submit news and tips link on the right side to send it in. Happy typing!

It's the new show type: Lots of Halo 3 speculation and a little bit about other games that Halo freaks play. With guest hosts Freak in a Box, Kilobyte, and Kynitekia. Guess who's recording from their webcam? Smile Honestly there are a few sporadic track alignment issues, but we think we have this problem nailed and it should be fixed for the next show. Freak in a box spent a lot of time getting this show the way it is. Thanks Freak!

Pod Art this week comes from SFreack. Good stuff!

UPDATE: this show should appear on itunes now.

Submit stuff for Podtacular Episode 49!

Episode 48 will be out shortly and we'll be recording Episode 49 on Thursday of this week. Thursday's show will be a new type of Podtacular show that focuses on just Halo 3 and other games that Halo freaks play.

If I only had a game design job at Bungie...

We know you have a wishlist for Halo 3. Many of you have already sent those in, which we appreciate. If not, what are you doing reading this? Send them in to podtacular@gmail.com! Even if you have, maybe you've thought up some new ones. Send those in. Send everything in. Send us an aircraft carrier in the mail. Ok not really but email us what you want to see in Halo 3. Having interesting possibilities for Halo 3 to talk about makes for a really good show.

I love you Halo, but I love another too

I know, you don't want to admit it, but you probably also play other games besides Halo. Some of us don't, but we would love to know about good games to play when we're not playing Halo. So why don't you send us your recommendations? Tell us what you play and what you like about it. Send us hints for the game too if you want, but not cheats.

If what you send in is good, we'll mention it on the show with your gamertag. So do it, doubletime! That's an order, marine.

Help wanted for Pod TV...

Now that Pod TV is getting a fresh start with Freak in a Box heading it up, he needs some help. Actors to demonstrate strategies and such. Email him at podtacularfreakinabox@gmail.com if you're interested. Thanks!
