Well seeing as Dust Storm has had a chance to drop a few bombs on what the committee been working on over the summer I’d like to drop a note of my own related to the PodPC cast. It’s going to be completely re-structured and the focus taken off of Halo PC/CE and onto a more broader array of games. I’ve been working on this for the past little while now, it needs some more revision but I see it going far. Read on for more.

The focus of this community has always been Halo, as that is what it was made for, however nowadays it is a relatively dead game. So we’re going to be moving on to other games, but that doesn’t mean that we’re gonna ditch Halo at all, it’s still active. Team Fortress 2 seems to be a big staple amongst the community. I’ve made a list of other mentioned games:

-Crysis
-Combat Arms
-Orange Box
-CSS
-Eve Online
-Unreal Tournament 3

I think we have a lot there, some don’t have a lot of people in them but that can be built on. We’re going to start off with games that have a more solid base. Most likely the groups we’re going to have are Halo PC/CE, Crysis, TF2, Other Orange Box games, to start with. If someone wants to get another game going they can post it, get a few people, and then we’ll see about getting it going

The clan is going to be structured differently as well. There are going to be two clans. The first is going to be The Podtacular PC Rec clan. Similar to the Rec clan we have for the console gamers here, it will be a group of people who just like to get together and play. Everyone’s welcome. The second clan is going to be The Podtacular PC Regular Clan. This will be the group of people who want to play competitively. They will represent Podtacular in tournaments and other such events, similar to the Pros and All Stars. The requirements are tighter for this group. People can be members in both clans.

Myself, and likely Dust Storm and another member will be at the top in charge of the clans overall. Then under the clans there will be sub-groups for each game. In the Rec clan a person will either be chosen by the heads or elected by the community to staff and represent that game. If a group of people that regularly play a game grows large enough they can appoint other members to help with that game if necessary. However you don’t need to join a specific group to play that game, all games are open to everyone in the Rec clan.

This is the general direction I want to take the clan in, there are still details to be worked out but you’ll be hearing more from me once I get those worked out. I can see this heading good places, so stay tuned for more info.

Podtacular, the Unofficial Halo Universe Podcast, and the Podtacular.com community are proud to announce the return of the Podtacular audio podcast later this month. That’s right, Podtacular is back.
Now you will see some new faces, but the content and fun will still be there.

Our first returning episode will be late September, so all those thing you wanted to tell us, but never got a chance to, well here’s your chance. We haven’t decided on an opening topic, but get thinking. The new host line up consists of myself, Cryptoflix and GLewis. Don’t worry, though, because all your faves like Foo Mo, JVB and others will drop by every now and then.

More details on the new Podtacular podcast will be posted soon. Thank you everyone for your participation in the community and we hope you enjoy the new show.

Keep on Fraggin’ Trucks.
