Podtacular

We still have 2 episodes with Spelchek to release this week. But we'll be recording the Podtacular Update show on Wednesday night, so now's your chance to report on news and events going on in the Halo and Podtacular communities. Just post it in the comments of this article, or email us. Got a cool web site related to Halo? Let us know, we'll mention it along with your gamertag. We're also looking for interviews with pros, which gives you an opportunity to get your voice on the show! Just send in an mp3 (less than 10 minutes) to podtacular@gmail.com.

This show we cover more of your Halo 3 wishlist, web resources, a major announcement, and lots of other Podtacular and Halo 2 news. By the way, ignore all the stuff I said about 3 shows a week, we are moving back to 1 show a week starting at episode 48, but we will still alternate between show types.

Shout out and thanks to Expanded Flame for this week's album art. Flag captured!

There is so much going on in the Podtacular hood that it's time for a special update.

The Podtacular All-Stars are holding tryouts

If you think you have what it takes to compete for the Podtacular team, now's your chance to become a champion! Email PodtacularPainkilla@gmail.com if you're interested. Be sure to tell him what your levels are and why you deserve to be considered for the team. Thanks to Painkilla and GLewis for organizing this!

Not a level 15? Don't worry, there's Pod Rookies

Some of you wish you could get into a podtacular clan but you just can't seem to get to level 15 in Big Team, Team Skirmish or 6v6. Now you can get into a podtacular clan anyway! RvB Caboose is heading up Pod Rookies clan, the clan to help people get to the coveted level 15! If you want in, sign up by clicking the link on the right side of the site. Of course if you are a level 15 or above, you can get into one of our official clans the same way!

Podtacular clans are cleaning out the riff-raff

Now that we've been around a while, our clans are starting to have tons of people that thought we were cool for about 5 seconds until they got into the clan. Then they quit playing Halo 2 and moved to Lithuania or something. So the clans are clogged with non-players. We'll be sending messages to clan members shortly to start cleaning house! Just reply to that message to stay in. It's easy as cream corn pie. Oh and if you're an overlord and you don't know what I'm talking about, email me!

Custom Saturdays!

Now's your chance to play with people from the show and the podtacular crew! Well not now, actually, but Saturday. We're hosting multiple parties to play custom games mentioned on podtacular. Just send a friend request to Juice57, Samanator, or Shardy. If we need more party leaders, well we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. What time are the games at, foo mo? Saturday.

So there's your mini-update! More to come on episode 45: the update show. We're running a little bit behind since the master of sound: freak in a box has been out of town, but we'll get caught up. Word to the mommies.

Can you believe it's Friday already? Well it's about that time, and we're looking for more cool stuff to talk about. I know we have 2 more shows to release this week (we're working on it!) but it's time to start rounding up the topics for next week.

Teach the world how to pwn n00bs on Ivory Tower

Got a tip for ivory tower? Know a good assault/ctf strat, a good jumping spot, a good hiding spot, a good combo, a good slayer routine? Let us know! Just post in the comments of this article. If it's good, we'll put your tip on the show and announce your gamertag for the world to hear!

What if you could influence the features in Halo 3?

We can't promise you anything, but who knows, if you come up with a really good idea and Bungie hears about it, maybe it could be incorporated into the game! If nothing else, it's fun to speculate. So let us know your wishlist for Halo 3 and we'll put it on the podcast waves or whatever.

And the winner is...

People last week sent in their favorite games other than Halo. A few of them people mentioned were:

• Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (1 or 2)
• Elder Scrolls: Morrowind
• Animal Crossing (GC or DS)
• Grand Theft Auto (any of them)
• Star Wars Battlefront 2
• Battlefield 2

If this were the Podtacular non-Halo game awards, which one would you pick? Why? Just email us or post in the comments.

Reporting for Podtacular

Do you know a pro gamer or how to get in touch with one? Know Frankie's barber? Got a cool event to cover? Some interesting news? An interview with someone that's Halo related, however tenuous the connection? Record it and send it in! If we like it, we'll put it on a show.

But wait, there's more!

We're also looking for your stories, general tips, n00b tips, custom games, web resources and other cool stuff that might do well on Podtacular. So get to work everyone! Deadline is Saturday Night.

Podtacular starts the year out with a bang! This has got to be one of my favorite shows ever. We talk a lot about some interesting Halo 3 ideas, news, other games Halo freaks play, and web resources. This is a big show so grab your bowl of cream corn and settle in for a nice long show. (1 hour!) With guest host Glewis.

This is a big show so grab your bowl of cream corn and settle in for a nice long show. (1 hour!) With guest host Glewis.

We'll be recording episodes 42, 43 and 44 this weekend, so now's the time to send us stuff so we can mention it on the show. Here's what we're looking for:

If I were Halo 3, what would I look like?

Halo 3 is probably coming out this year, which isn't that long when you think about it. What do you think will be different? If you could make Halo 3 any way you wanted, what would you do? Let us know in the comments here with your gamertag, and we'll talk about it. Who knows, maybe we can even influence how the game turns out! That would be cool, and by cool, I mean totally sweet.

Map of the week will be Lockout

So naturally, we're looking for your tips on Lockout! Send in your tips for Lockout and we may put it on the show! Remember to include your gamertag so we can give you credit. Just post those tips in the comments for this post. Oh and we would love to get tips from pro players too!

If you were stranded on a desert island...

... with nothing but an xbox and no Halo 2, what would you play? I think it would be interesting to talk about other good games from the perspective of Halo freaks. Don't you?

Consider yourself Official Staff

You know what would be cool, if you found that pro player, FPS game developer, Bungie custodian, or random person and send us an interview with them, on behalf of Podtacular. Like you're the Podtacular reporter. You get to be on the show in person (not easy otherwise) and we all get to hear a cool interview. Just kidding about the random person thing.

Last summer, at Halo camp...

"I remember this one game..." insert story here. Everyone that's played a good amount of Halo 2 has some cool/funny stories. So why not send them in and give us all a good laugh? Cool things to send in for this would be weirdest or funniest gamertag you've seen, funniest or stupidest thing you've heard someone say in-game, and of course the unrelated tip of the week. Try to send in a funny fake tip about an obscure game (Champion Beard Grower? Butt Scratcher Xtreme? Tae Bo Master?) and if it's the best, we'll put it on the show!

Ok, it's homework time. Click the comments below and get started, and we'll mention your gamertag for Halo fans around the world to hear! Don't forget you can also call in your tip to our voicemail line: 206-888-HALO.
