Xbox 360 Fancast 065 -- Gaius Julius Fancast

by Richard Mitchell { Apr 21st 2008 at 5:30PM }

Xbox 360 Fancast 065 is here. Seeing as it's such a significant number (65 is a lot), we decided to do nothing special at all. Nope, it's just your ordinary Xbox 360 Fancast. Of course, just like every other episode, that means it's still the best podcast evar. This week we discuss the metric ton of games coming out this summer, Zune games, comics, and (for some reason) I Am Legend. Download and soak up the goodness.

This is out early. I guess you have more time to edit the podcast on a slow news day, huh?

Muffin_man @ Apr 21st 2008 5:37PM

Downloading now.

=D

ZEBRA NINER @ Apr 21st 2008 5:39PM

Good times. Thanks. :)

Will @ Apr 21st 2008 5:43PM

You're early today. OMG! What am I gonna do!?

Aero @ Apr 21st 2008 6:03PM

You should try and get Knuckles back for episode 70. Then him and Zav can have an achievement fight.

Aero @ Apr 21st 2008 6:04PM

Damnit I spelt Xav wrong.

ZEBRA NINER @ Apr 21st 2008 6:56PM

I think you spelled it wrong because you are trying to start an internet/cheevo fight. Teh ch33v0z will always win, so there is no point in fighting.

Jayslacks @ Apr 21st 2008 6:05PM

The best way ever to kill an hour and a half...

itsburnsie @ Apr 21st 2008 6:10PM

With my best Gir impression ala Invader Zim....

I LOVE this showwwwwwwwww.

I'll be loading it onto my iPod after work for the drive to work tommorrow morning.

Lewis @ Apr 21st 2008 6:11PM

lmfao POOP grenades

Etchasketchist @ Apr 21st 2008 6:48PM

For the record, the "slow down" on the explosions at the end of the boss fights in Ikaruga is in fact a feature. It's supposed to be dramatical. It's been a part of every version of the game on every platform.

Xav de Matos @ Apr 23rd 2008 1:52AM

Framerate drops are not a feature.

DeltaLoko @ Apr 28th 2008 1:14PM

nice one

DeltaLoko @ Apr 21st 2008 8:21PM

whats up with the iTunes feed?

IncredibleBulk92 @ Apr 22nd 2008 8:07AM

I was thinking the same thing :( at least I can get the enhanced AAC from here, why isn't that in the iTunes feed btw?

IncredibleBulk92 @ Apr 22nd 2008 8:13AM

Aaaah Because they don't work on iPods? Well it doesn't work on mine :(

Sorry DeltaLoko, I know you just got 2 emails that a barely related to what you just said lol

Xav de Matos @ Apr 22nd 2008 8:40AM

I think the iTunes feed needs to reset itself. I don't think it shows up right away. But, should be fine now.

DeltaLoko @ Apr 22nd 2008 11:10AM

Don't sweat it Bulk...and yeah...the feed is up now

Thanks

Richard Mitchell @ Apr 22nd 2008 12:13PM

AAC should definitely work on your iPod. I can view the enhanced show on mine.

The big problem is having both MP3 and AAC on the same feed. Apparently it takes technical wizardry to make that work. We'd switch to AAC only, but not everyone can play them.

Digital Limit @ Apr 21st 2008 9:56PM

It sounds like Dustin is saying "Brick!"

Truth.

iHomer @ Apr 21st 2008 11:01PM

Paulitics or Effron Clark ( I think that's your name ) you need to make a US account this happened to me last week I made a US account put in the code and voilà! 1600 points that I use on the US account but can use the content on my main account ( say you buy an XBLA game on US account, you can use it on normal account, since it's on your Hard Drive). Hope this helps!

DjDATZ @ May 1st 2008 10:29AM

yea...but once your 360 breaks you can't use that content with your main gamertag unless the secondary gamertag is signed in...

ZenGaijin @ Apr 21st 2008 11:23PM

Updated Zune album art?

DaMan09 @ Apr 22nd 2008 1:14AM

YES PLZ

Digital Limit @ Apr 21st 2008 11:59PM

Alexander, you can create your own little "clan list" by creating an alternate Silver account and having us X3F kids add that to our list. Then we can just do friends of friends from there.

It's a little odd, but it works if you're pining for an alternative to denying everyone that adds you.

Digital Limit @ Apr 22nd 2008 3:16AM

Eh, you were probably well aware of this. Nonetheless, do it! I need more Halo-buddies that aren't prone to running their mouth.

And, uh, I haven't played rocket race in forever...

Eh, eh?

ZenGaijin @ Apr 22nd 2008 7:01AM

I'll add you and my mic is broken so I am completely silent. I can hear you though.

IncredibleBulk92 @ Apr 22nd 2008 10:03AM

I don't know if you guys frown on posts with this sorta stuff in but there IS a way to get a 120 gig hard drive on your 360 for cheaper. Its not exactly legal and it could be risky with regards to MS banning your console but to the guy who had the arcade system, he might want to consider it.

I understand if you guys delete this post btw, just showing people their options.
