Xbox 360 Fancast 050 -- Being the 50th Episode
by Richard Mitchell 
{ Jan 8th 2008 at 8:35PM }
Well folks, this is it. Our 50th effing episode. Two days of editing, little to no bathing, and less than optimal exposure to sunlight has left us a little stir-crazy, so we hope you enjoy it. We've compiled some of our best Fancast moments as well as some of our worst audio problems. Not only that, but we have lots of celebrity shout-outs praising out immaculate podcasting skills. The whole gang is back again for this wondrous occasion, so hurry up. Download and enjoy. We've also added some photos we refer to during the show, check 'em out after the break.
Thanks for supporting us through 50 episodes fanboys. We'll keep 'em coming.

yeah man first comment for the 50th episode, finally its come and I can listen to it thank you god....now how do I smoke it???
Knuckles Dawson @ Jan 9th 2008 9:28AM
2nd comment by abusing the reply system!
Seriously though, a couple things were cut from the breaks in show that should have gotten (full) outtakes. Like the one at the end where I start speaking...sensually into the mic, where Alexander tells me to not stop, I don't it goes on for a bit, and I talk about the fries we had at rockets and like gravy.
The other would be my tearing into Dustin for his eligibility for picking Game of the Year, considering he bought 4 games in 2007: Crackdown, Halo 3, GHIII and Rock Band, and has never played BioShock, CoD4, Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, or the Orange Box.

Jayslacks @ Jan 8th 2008 10:03PM
Dudes, seriously, this is the best fancast ever. I love it. You guys rock. The best gaming podcast ever. Hands down. Thank you.
Magic Whiskey @ Jan 8th 2008 10:07PM

ReekinHavok @ Jan 8th 2008 11:30PM
Congrats! Have a beer and relax. You guys are superstars. Not really but you can think so.
Arnie @ Jan 8th 2008 11:38PM
Oh man I am only like 1/4th in and this thing is freaking hilarious. Congrats guys and Richard I have new respect for you for your editing skills, keep up the good guys. Dustin got ripped into again and I have to admit he's really a good sport about it.
Happy 50 and keep up the good work guys and thank god I started listening to your podcast after you sorted out most of your audio problems :-0
Arnie @ Jan 9th 2008 12:38AM
That was one of the funniest and best fancasts in a while. Thank you for making me laugh for almost the entire show.
Alexander get +2 for suggesting the Chipmunk thing. It was so funny, really funny better than even some of the standup.
DjDATZ @ Jan 9th 2008 4:18AM
X3F FTW!! GREATEST FANCAST EVAR!
WOW! AMAZING! yes I've been up till 4:20am to finish listening to it! awesome stuff guys! congrats on 50!
DjDATZ @ Jan 9th 2008 4:20AM
Oh yea, and I did a whole thing on twitter while I was listening to the Fancast.
Gloqwi @ Jan 9th 2008 7:34AM
W00T! It's the X3F Extravabration! I've been listening to it overnight and still playing!

Richard Mitchell @ Jan 9th 2008 9:34AM
Confirmed. Extravabration is the title for our next big episode.
And I thought extrabonanza was clever :)
Larry *not allowed to say cheevo* @ Jan 9th 2008 10:02AM
I'm only about half way through the cast, I'll finish it up on the way home from work... but I have to say, fantastic. I do think David is a crucial part of what makes the show work and it was nice to have the full team back.
Did David's "half mast" joke go over everyone's head, or were they just ignoring it?
Knuckles Dawson @ Jan 9th 2008 10:39AM
I know at least Alexander laughed at it.
larry erehwon @ Jan 9th 2008 11:46AM
2 things:
1. Bring david back... and give him more alcohol.
2. Listening to this cast should have unlocked an achievement.
DiddlyKong @ Jan 9th 2008 12:37PM
Great show guys. I'll be here for the next 50. Congrats.
Chester @ Jan 9th 2008 1:08PM
I'm trying to GIVE AWAY a brand new game or microsoft points to Xbox360fanboy readers at least once a month. Unfortunately nobody at X3F has replied to my email! :o( Sup with that. Dont you all want free games?
But the podcast was great.
Big Wizz @ Jan 9th 2008 4:08PM
two freakin' hours? As if I don't get enough not done at work....
Love the podcast, try and get more guest interviews though!
Will @ Jan 9th 2008 4:13PM
What a fun show! I haven't been listening to you guys for long, but I look forward to many more episodes in the future.
itsburnsie @ Jan 9th 2008 5:08PM
Late to the comment party, just wanted to say:
GREATEST PODCAST EVARRRRRR!
Your days upon days of toiling paid off. I've been listening since #8 (I think?) and it was great to hear all of the clips from shows gone by. My hat's off to you folks!
Project Ekim @ Jan 9th 2008 6:42PM
Great Fancast Guys keep up the good work just fix the Logo on the zune marketplace its the banner instead of the fancast logo.
Ben @ Jan 10th 2008 9:53AM
Hey guys, congratulations on reaching 50 episodes! Richard, don't give up on the Mass Effect book. I read it and got the game for Christmas and I have enjoyed the game more knowing the back story.
Feelz Good @ Jan 10th 2008 11:55AM
Just got around to listening, first off congrats on making it to 50.
It's cool that I played a part in your E3 memorable moments. Just to fill you in, Jeff Bell did not stick around. He said Harry Potter dies and ran off, it was very strange.
Larry *not allowed to say cheevo* @ Jan 10th 2008 1:27PM
Finally was able to finish it up on the way to work. Bravo.
Now, a few points:
1. DREGSTER... w00t!
2. Chipmunk voices for EVERY fancast. HILARIOUS.
3. The guest clips were VERY entertaining.
Can we have a show this big every week?! Oh, and you guys seemed to work better in a set of four, although ALEX was overshadowed a bit.
CapNJunkie @ Jan 10th 2008 7:13PM
I gotta tell you that I really enjoy your show. A special Canadian "S'up with the weasel" to Knuckles.
I for one would love you guys to use the "speeded-up, techno-rave, break out my glow sticks and flip the lights on and off ala The Cheat" show music theme more often.
Edog Lost @ Jan 10th 2008 7:31PM
Great FanCast guys. I really enjoyed the extra time you spent to splice in all the clips. There have been a lot of clip shows over the holiday break and this was the cream of the crop.
It was nice having David back, he really adds a level of tension to the mix. Keep up the good work, and congratulations.

Congrats on 50! I loved the look back. Still wish David would not talk all over everyone! Dude, will you ever learn?
