It is time ladies and gents. Podtacular is coming back in full force starting with good old callins and tales from the foxhole. This show will be either next week or the week after. We’re not sure yet, but definitely within two weeks. Now there are some other special shows coming up soon, which if you have listened to the podcast you would know about. More details on that later. So send in your hilarious/awesome tales and call into the Podtacular voicemail at (206) 888-HALO (4256).

I’ll take ridiculous polls for 500, Alex
In what might be the silliest poll I’ve seen in years, MSNBC wants to know what you think the ‘sexiest game’ is – and Halo 3: ODST is on the list. (uh… what?) At least it’s in last place… If you need someone to blame, it was rolandk73 who noticed.(Louis Wu 16:04:08 UTC)

It’s-a me, Master Chief!
Hawty McBloggy found someone who put Mario’s head on the Master Chief’s body… then tattooed the result on his arm. Why choose between your two favorite characters? (Louis Wu 14:44:15 UTC)

Win Legends and Legends Soundtrack at GI
O’Connor-Read pointed out a new sweepstakes at Game Informer – they’re giving away 10 packs that include the Halo Legends Two-Disc DVD Special Edition along with the Halo Legends Original Soundtrack, and all you have to do is register on their site and click a picture. Contest runs until February 9; if you don’t win, you’ll have to wait a week after that to buy the DVD, but the soundtrack is being released that day.(Louis Wu 14:40:55 UTC)

Reach Info Falls
Bungie massively updated its Reach Project page last night – you’ll need to do some serious exploring. We mentioned Screenshots yesterday – but new Concept Art is up, and the Personnel section has been populated (you can read these in a more linear fashion on the front page of Bungie.net, as well). Good stuff! Thanks to CaptainTony for noticing early. If this isn’t enough info for you – swing by GameInformer’s website; they’ve put up even MORE info about Carter-259 (thanks, CaneCutter).

Around The Ring: Submissions Invite
Ok, so I’m getting an early start on the invite this time. Recording is planned for next weekend, and probably will change. I’m thinking of setting up a live stream using the new IRC and the stream I use for the Jam Nights (speaking of which I will have news about them to put the mass of questions I’ve been getting to rest). But no guarantees on that yet.
Anyhow, this show is on the Left 4 Dead 2 campaign Dark Carnival. Send in all your stories, tips, and tricks! I had some really fun times getting the gnome achievement (Half Life 2: Episode 2 flashbacks anyone?), and have many good tips to offer on your quest for the achievement.
Send them in using the usual Big Green Button, or to podtacular@gmail.com
Time is limited, so jump on it!
