X-Play says Halo 2 is Tops
A few days ago, HavokBlue mentioned that Halo 2 made the number one spot in an episode of G4’s X-Play that looked at the top 10 Xbox games – more recently, it’s been posted on their website for online watching. Thanks, rob s.(Louis Wu 13:01:20 UTC)

Smudge Games 2006 – Update
A few days ago, we mentioned an online tourney at Halo Jungle – it’s got its own website now. (It seems to have some uptime issues, so try again if you find it down.)(Louis Wu 12:35:46 UTC)

Humpday challenge within their own ranks
I suppose with nothing better to do, the Bungie team chose to challenge their own B.net moderators. There are no ties in Halo2, get back in there and finish the fight! Worth noting is that I was unknowingly pulled in so they could warm-up on my bloody corpse, of course the game was already underway.(Cybrfrk 03:22:46 UTC)

If you could interview Mother Goat, what would you ask?
I’ll be interviewing Mother Goat soon for Podtacular. He is the creator of many high-quality Halo CE maps, the soundtrack for the First Contact Halo mod for Half Life 2 (and lots of other Halo-inspired music), and his own FPS game called “Bleeding Widow” (in process). He also got a job in the industry as a level designer because of the work he did on Halo CE, and he made the infamous MPD series of videos.
He agreed to open the questions to whatever you guys want to ask him. So what would you ask? Comment away!

Throw a pitch and win your chance at bat!
Intel is sponsoring a big contest at Machinima.com for aspiring movie makers. Pitch your movie and win a chance to go to Hollywood and make a 3-5 minute short film. The relation to Halo? Consider that the Halo machinima community is large and that I work at the sponsor — and leave it at that. We recommend you submit your own video-pitch in the form of a Halo machinima.(Cybrfrk 17:17:40 UTC)

To All Season Players – Season Update
What’s up everybody?!
I would like to share a few new things that were implemented on the season and will take place once we return from the 4th of July break we will have next week. There are 2 very important updates that MUST be read by all the season participants, in order to keep everyone on the same page and avoid excuses for certain actions.
Well there are 2 new important updates to the current season that will change the current system and hope for the better in order to keep the players more active and more interested on the season. Well let’s see what we have here. For more information please visit the Forums.New Rules
- As you can see the schedule for after the break will include 2 matches per week. In order to accelerate the matches I would like to offer the teams 1 full week from Monday to Sunday to play 2 matches. These matches can be played at any time and point during that week according to the player’s schedule. Please be fair, keep the common sense and allow a couple of days or so for scheduling (I would suggest start scheduling the week of July 10 matches during the break week.
- The second change is that any team that forfeits 2 games in a row will be automatically removed from the tourney and not allowed to participate in the following one. This is a reinforcement matter that shows that players that are serious about this one will also be serious about the upcoming Tourneys at Podtacular.com.
Season Prizes
Well here is what you all have been waiting for… The Season Prizes. Let’s see what we have.
First Place
- First place team will participate in a special Podtacular episode with Foo Mo Jive to discuss the team’s best, most impressive and hardest moments of that team in the season.
- Special custom-made custom user bars by Foo Mo Jive with the Team/player name as the Champion of the Podtacular Season.
- A spot in the Podtacular “Wall of Fame” topic that will be created in a near future.
- A special forum tag below your avatar that says Season Champions.
- Any and other prizes (shirts, sigs, anything from the podtacular store, etc…) that other members feel that this team would deserve for such accomplishment. Feel free to award the winning team.
Second Place
- Special custom made custom user bars by Foo Mo Jive with the Team/player name as the Second place of the Podtacular Season.
- A spot in the Podtacular “Wall of Fame” topic that will be created in a near future.
