RT: Maintenance 4/17
Next week on 4/17 and 4/18, the servers will be undergoing some routine maintenance. At least we hope it will be routine. Expect some up and down time on those days. If you go through withdrawal, may we suggest some sunshine? It's bright and burns…

RT: No Soup for You
Geoff asked me to post today’s comic because he’s away from his computer or drunk or lazy or some excuse blah blah blah. Honestly I wasn’t really listening. And I have no idea what this comic is about. I think it’s referencing some movie, but I wouldn’t…

RT: Now Almost Better Than Before!
First of, sorry about the last 20 hours or so. The maintenance I came to do in Sacramento ran longer than expected, however everything was a resounding success (huzzah). We are working on cleaning up the last few issues and expect them to be hammered out…

New Podtacular Community Goodies coming soon!
*NEW POD TV COMING SOON*
The next Pod TV, coming soon, will be about the new maps. I have a bunch of new DVDs coming soon, so I can record at my own expense rather than waiting 3 months till I get another DVD from my brother.
*NEW MACHINIMA COMING FROM KIA*
Aside from Pod TV, I will also be recording random machinima. Watch out for it!
*NEW PODFICTION COMING SOON*
2.4 is just about done. 2.5 ends Section 2. Section 3 will be about the other Spartan Squads, featuring more community members as characters than ever. Here is the “old community thread”:http://podtacular.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9420&start=0
for old times sake. Feel free to bump with my permission. If you run into any problems, direct them towards me. I will resolve them.*NEW EVENTS*
If you’re in Rec B, we are trying to get a clanmatch soon.
Hopefully, I am trying to kickoff Summer ’07 with another MLG Crew Event. The comeback of MLG Crew is coming!
I am now listening to Podtacular more frequently, and am spending more time on my US History major project, so I will be online less (on certain days). After May 18th however, I will be back and ready to play like crazy again. This project is really huge, and I’m a little behind on the research. Wish me luck on it.

Those poor, poor maps…
The new maps have been out for a day… and already, they’re being ripped apart. Certain Affinity decided to get around the Superbouncing problem by building insta-killzones into the roof of both maps – but as Ducain points out, folks have already found exceptions. (Dry Ice also found a bizarre little glitch that might come in handy occasionally.) The first egg appeared on Tombstone yesterday morning – descriptions of the item were followed quickly by pictures of it in use; we should be clear that modding is required to hold this item, and it’s not actually usable (in the form it appears). More limitations are described nicely by RVideo. And while we’re at it, Jordan117 noticed another small egg, as well. You guys are BRUTAL! Update: Narcogen, over at Rampancy.net, clearly did more homework than i did; he found a video demonstrating the glitch Dry Ice mentions, as well as ANOTHER invisible wall near red base. These actually look like bigger problems than I’d originally thought. Hmm… (There are even more weirdnesses to be found in this thread at High Impact Halo.)(Louis Wu 14:28:32 UTC)

Cinematic Moments, Part 2
Morpheus pointed out that the next installment of Gamespy’s Top 25 Video Game Cinematic Moments is up (we mentioned page 1 yesterday) – and again, Halo takes two of the five spots. At 19, Return To Sender is called ‘easiliy [sic] the most memorable scene from Halo 2’, and at 17, the Starry Night Halo 3 commercial pumped up the reviewers. Still three days left in the article; can Halo continue its daily showing?(Louis Wu 13:55:46 UTC)

Play Halo 2, Win Stuff
Xbox.com is running an All-Nighter this Saturday, April 21; play Halo 2 during the night (“it starts when the sun goes down and ends when it comes back up”), look for select members of Clan PMS and some Xbox Ambassadors (gamertags for all involved are listed on that page), and tell xbox.com what you thought! Randomly selected respondents will win “some sweet old-school Halo swag.” (No, we don’t know what that means, either.) Thanks to Jman for the heads-up!(Louis Wu 10:30:58 UTC)

Tombstone Falls Victim To Zero Day Glitches
Not an entire day has passed since the release of Tombstone, Certain Affinity’s Halo 2 homage to the Halo 1 favorite Hang ‘Em High, along with Desolation, their remake of Derelict, before the first cracks are being found.
GhostFaction at High Impact Halo has posted a vid by DominoEffect that shows a way out of the map, avoiding the invisible instant-kill barriers put there to stop people from doing so. The method doesn’t look that practical, but it does show how effective it is trying to stop Halo players from going somewhere.
Perhaps a more serious problem is revealed by another vid, by Glow Burn, shows at least one spot on Tombstone where an invisible wall protects a player from gunfire and grenades, but allows him or her to retaliate. HIH has a thread especially for glitches found on the new maps.
