Xbox 360 Fancast 034 -- The Doc is in
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the penultimate Fancast before Halo 3. One week from today, we'll be Fancasting and dreaming of the glory that is soon to befall us (we hope). But, that's a week away, and now we must concentrate on the painfully wretched present. And what better way to do that than with a firm dose of sarcasm? And, if you want to do that, why not recruit the man behind Sarcastic Gamer, Jeromy "Doc" Adams. Together, we dissect the hype surrounding Halo 3, drool over Ninja Gaiden 2, laugh at the Engineer from TF2, and take a gander at the Xbox 360's sales numbers. We also discuss the dangers of keeping your Xbox 360 controllers within the general vicinity of children and toilets. Long story short: not the best idea. As always, you'll find links to all the Fancast topics after the break.

Awesome fancast. Absolutely loved it.

Gemini Ace @ Sep 18th 2007 9:46AM
I'm sure you know, but the iTunes ain't workin'.
Richard Mitchell @ Sep 18th 2007 9:56AM
Well shitz. iTunes feed should be fixed once it makes another pass. Forgot to stick this post in the "Podcasts" category. Oops.
ogvor @ Sep 18th 2007 9:57AM

Richard Mitchell @ Sep 18th 2007 9:59AM
Also,
If you want iTunes to find our show the minute that it's uploaded, you can point iTunes directly to our RSS feed. It's under the "Advanced" tab: "Subscribe to Podcast"
Aero @ Sep 18th 2007 1:26PM

Anyone know the piano music that open the XBF podcast?
Richard Mitchell @ Sep 18th 2007 3:12PM
ElTiante,
Our music and artists are always listed in the Fancast post. The song is Prelude No. 15 in D-flat by Frederic Chopin. It's also known as the "Raindrop Prelude."
JediMasterASD @ Sep 18th 2007 3:15PM
just wanted to let you know that you do not have to get support from all the cities before continuing the main quest in Oblivion. you can skip that part and go straight to the main gate or whatever
Richard Mitchell @ Sep 18th 2007 3:16PM
JediMasterASD,
I figured as much, but I wanted to "do it right," you know?
ElTiante @ Sep 18th 2007 3:31PM
Thanks Richard, I should have read the notes (RTF!)
Anyway I knew that piece from the anime "The Big O!" R. Dorothy would frequently play it.
