Xbox 360 Fancast 062 -- A Xav Appears

by Richard Mitchell { Mar 31st 2008 at 6:15PM }

The Xbox 360 Fancast returns again with a new episode jam packed with gamery goodness. This week we tackle Xbox.com's minor surgery, the N+ developer rant, and Halo 3's Lockout remake, Blackout. Naturally, we can't help but spend a little time talking about all of the bad decisions surrounding Bad Company either. We also take a look at some cheevo-tastic fanmail and witness the wonders of Skype. Download below ... if you dare.

Jayslacks @ Mar 31st 2008 10:18PM

Nice show guys. I'm a cheevo whore too. Is there any rehab plans for people like us?

ZEBRA NINER @ Mar 31st 2008 11:21PM

Ch33v0 related surprise?! What could be better?!!?!?!

Digital Limit @ Apr 1st 2008 3:48AM

Thanks, dudes.

Why did I start listening? It's so late (early?) now, bah.

Nevertheless, great podcast. I love how it came full circle, and all the other randomness that happened throughout, e.g. Xav admitting he has a problem.

Don't worry Xav, you're among friends.

Hey guys - here's a crazy idea - what if the Battlefield $$ weapons have the exact same stats as other guns in the game. Doesn't that make them equally balanced? I'll admit, it's still pretty stupid to buy what basically amounts to a digital skin, but a fool and his $$ are soon parted. However, it's still pretty easy to balance the game. Stop being such drama queens over this "issue".

EA can eat it. I'm not buying it.

Interesting discussion regarding the ch33v0s. I used to be really bad with the achievements, but have recently turned a corner to start playing a little more for enjoyment. I am now turning down playing some of the games in my library, just because I don't think I'll have much fun. Really just trying to get online with some of my friends to enjoy playing with them. Long live the community.
