In our latest episode, we discuss Bad Company's change of heart, Gears of War 2 details, European Rock Band price woes, and Dustin's romp through the Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack. We also take on the topic of whether or not Xbox Live is worth withstanding the worst language society can muster and Call of Duty 4's dreaded noob tube. Download and feel the joy.

ZEBRA NINER @ Apr 14th 2008 10:04PM

Wow... that podcast was emotional. You got it all, joy, anger, lust(Dustin's outtakes, truly disturbing).

Dustin Burg @ Apr 14th 2008 11:47PM

very, very disturbing

Jayslacks @ Apr 14th 2008 7:09PM

Oh man! Are you guys gonna use my email tonight? Geez, don't tease me, guys! Don't tease me..

Digital Limit @ Apr 14th 2008 7:11PM

I can't express my excitement for the noob-tube discussion enough.

Love the show!

DaMan09 @ Apr 14th 2008 7:22PM

Any closer to getting that Album art correct on the Zune?

ZenGaijin @ Apr 14th 2008 8:23PM

You and I buddy against all the iPods.

We can take em.

I would like that correct album art for this podcast as I greatly enjoy it.

Deezul @ Apr 14th 2008 9:43PM

Where's Terrence?

Apeezee @ Apr 14th 2008 8:32PM

The noob tube is a GREAT weapon. Use it frequently and often! It only serves to piss people off and it's great fun. I use when i am working on the red dot for each gun as i am prestige'n up. I liked your comment about playing the way the developers made it, my thoughts exactly!

Will @ Apr 14th 2008 8:42PM

A new Monday night tradition to make up for the absence of Heroes. Thank you guys.

Jayslacks @ Apr 14th 2008 8:51PM

Ah. A shout-out on the fancast. My life is complete.

Digital Limit @ Apr 14th 2008 8:56PM

Richard, which gametype do you usually play in COD4? I've been trying to get into it recently, but haven't had any luck. I've been mostly playing slayer, so maybe that's why. Eh, eh.

DXL540 @ Apr 14th 2008 9:01PM

You forgot the "enclosure" tag on the RSS feed...

Richard Mitchell @ Apr 14th 2008 9:33PM

Aw crap. Added. Should be up soon.

Tyler @ Apr 14th 2008 9:20PM

Where is the iTunes feed?

Glitch W @ Apr 14th 2008 9:27PM

still no terrence with Xav? We want to hear him talk to himself!

Lewis @ Apr 14th 2008 9:37PM

iTunes feed not up.

Best podcast conclusion.evar.

bonzai @ Apr 14th 2008 11:12PM

NOOB TUBE!

Digital Limit @ Apr 15th 2008 2:11AM

Did you guys ever cover who is actually getting the legendary map pack (outside of Dustin, of course)?

Jayslacks @ Apr 15th 2008 8:33AM

I'm getting them legendary bitches right now.

bartons @ Apr 15th 2008 10:26AM

Good times, guys. I haven't laughed like that in awhile. Dustin's "this is turning into couple's therapy" during the cheevo's discussion between Xav and Alexander was excellent timing. Alexander is right ... Xav freebases the cheevo's playing horrible games while Alexander's choice of GTA4 on 360 over PS3 for its achievements is an objective preference. Playing GTA4 on 360 over PS3 for achievements isn't quite the same as playing TMNT, King Kong or whatever drivel it is our poor Canuck is playing these days to boost his score.

re: RB pricing

See HMX's more detailed explanation about the pricing and why the game is sold separately here

Makes a good amount of sense.

Larry @ Apr 16th 2008 2:06PM

Wow you guys kinda punted that Xbox live gold question. The foul language isn't really that bad. Yes, there are a lot of kids who play games, but for the most part they are not that bad in terms of cursing. You can also setup voice chat to only work for friends only. So you never have to hear an idiot you don't know.
