Xbox 360 Fancast 059 -- Maybe Next Time Buddy
The Xbox 360 Fancast is back once again with a fresh episode. This week, we discuss Condemned 2, Activision's bid for rock fame, and of course, prostitutes (not real ones but, you know, video game ones). Not only that, but have Dustin's exciting retelling of how he finally earned his "Maybe Next Time Buddy" achievement in Halo 3. Oh, and we discover the hazards of podcasting while desperately, desperately tired. Don't do it kids. Don't do it.

YAY! I don't have to wait until 11:15pm today to get the podcast today since I live in the UK. Could you try and get the podcast out about this time every week please guys, since I like to listen to it before going to bed on mondays. I'm sure this will be as great as all your other podcasts and keep up the good work!

It is back on schedule. I can't wait to download it. Major Nelson and the Twitt podcast are kind of boring.

Great post once again, guys. It was like you guys swallowed a whole bunch of laughing beans or something. Oh, and I'd like to hear more impressions on Dark Sector. No one is talking about it and I'm really curious about that game. Peace out!

Dustin is a dirty cheating achievements booster!

w00t! cheevos (cH33v0z) made the fancast!!! The Cheevo Revolution is underway!
The X3F Halo cheevo meet up was good times, I think anytime you can bring the X3F community together for some game time is a good thing. Hope to see some more get-togethers, achievement oriented or not.

Is there any we that X3F could make the X3F T.V. and the Fancast into separate RSS feeds? It's kind of annoying to have all the X3F T.V. post show up in my podcast aggregator.

I can't believe how far downhill this show has gone since Knuckles left. I was never thrilled about the X3F meet up to get the "Maybe Next Time Buddy" achievement, but I was willing to let that go. I can't believe you would allow someone on the podcast to not only admit that he exploited the matchmaking system in Halo 3 to get achievements, but also explain how he did it. You guys lost a fan today.

ahh, what a lovely day! the sun is shining, the stock market is doing great and I just came across a nickel in the parking lot. could it get any better? w00t!

I'm sorry you feel that way Venemous. You realize that Knuckles condones boosting too though, right? Why don't you ask him how he got his multiplayer achievements in The Darkness:

Anywho, as for X3F TV Philip, X3F TV is really an extension of the Fancast, and is meant as our video podcast. We might consider separating it from the MP3 feed once we get the enhanced feed up and running.

I've said it before. Bungie has known about this "exploit" for a long while now, they haven't patched it because they don't care. So I'll use it.
Not like I'm modding a console to do anything shady.
SytheMaster @ Mar 11th 2008 2:05PM
Xav, does the acievement boosting using the language glitch make the achievment detail stay in chinese or does it go back to english when you switch your language options again?
Xav de Matos @ Mar 11th 2008 5:49PM
So far, the achievements still show up in the language you got the points in.
Check out an image of it on my blog:
