Forgehub on Podtacular 231
This week’s recording will feature Insane from Forgehub. For those who don’t know what Forgehub is, it’s a hub for forge creations… Not Kidding. If you’ve ever played a good custom, it’s more than likely it’s on Forgehub: including all those fun racetracks. Now is the time to submit any of your misplaced creations you created years ago and see if they stand up to the test of a Forgehub librarian (my custom naming). Use the Big Green Button on the right or send in your submissions to submissions@podtacular.com

Going Outside the Canyon
So you know how there was a note at the end of the Deja View video yesterday? The one that read ‘Go outside the canyon – Comic-con 2010’? Well, Voltron64 noticed that the program for Thursday’s talks include the following:6:00-7:00 Halo: Reach— Bungie hosts this discussion around the biggest game of 2010, including an in-person look at the campaign mode and a debut of some exciting Halo: Reach news. Room 6BCF
If you were thinking of going to Comic-Con, but were on the fence… get off it. Update: Sketchfactor clarified – the description in the program was placeholder, there WILL be exciting Reach news, but it won’t be about the Campaign. Lots of Bungie presence, and Firefight on the show floor. Do you have tickets yet?(Louis Wu 21:08:56 UTC)

Crankin’ the Hardware
Bungie’s migrating Halo 3 (and Halo 3: ODST) from their existing servers to the new Reach-generation servers that will be in full use when Reach goes live in a couple of months. No new features, no loss of features – just faster, more powerful hardware. (For the short term, though, it means the File Share will be offline, and stats won’t update right away (though none will be lost; they’ll just take a while to get to the website). More details from Roger ‘Sawnose’ Wolfson on Bungie.net.(Louis Wu 18:37:58 UTC)
