Xbox 360 Fancast 066 -- 600 Shy of Evil
Can it be mere coincidence that our 66th podcast is releasing on the same day as the midnight launch of Grand Theft Auto IV? Perhaps you don't see the connection. Just look. Episode 066. That's only 600 short of 666. We'd say that's pretty much proof positive that GTAIV is the Devil (along with the foosball, of course). Anywho, this week's show is jam packed with news and fanmail, and we spend a healthy amount of time discussing GTAIV's impending arrival. Hopefully it will make your wait in line during the midnight launch a little easier.

Been waiting all day for this one. Maybe it'll whet my appetite for GTA for a while....a little while
SytheMaster @ Apr 28th 2008 6:20PM

TheMan726 @ Apr 28th 2008 6:25PM
It is a reference to the Movie "The Waterboy", staring Adam Sandler

@Zav
Dude, I'm sure you know you can sell your 20GB hard drive for at least $50 (US) on eBay. But, you can sell that stupid data transfer cable for at least $30 on eBay. Sold both when I got my 120GB. Helps balance out the ridiculously high price.

Good Show
My ideas for GH4 title:
Guitar Hero 4: Seriously this isn't our version of the Six Axis......
Guitar Hero 4: Now with Drums and Vocals and even more non exisitent notes and lyrics!
Guitar Hero 4: Please love this game and buy it even though Rock Band did these instrument first....and made the diffculty reasonable.
Guitar Hero 4: We had these instruments in development longer........the needed proof was eaten by a crazed dev.

grigdog @ May 1st 2008 2:23PM
Instead of going to Guitar Hero 4, which sounds like you are milking the franchise progress to "Guitar Band: Suck it Harmonix"
CouchPotato99 @ May 1st 2008 9:12PM
Sweet! You answered my question. I was the "big and long one"... :P.
If you need help with Legendary, Rich, you can invite me. I'll be happy to play. My gamertag is CouchPotato99.
Guitar Hero 4: We Never Loved You, Harmonix
Guitar Hero 4: We'll Still Think of Some Way to Sue Haronix for this
Guitar Hero 4: Now You Can Pretend this Game is fun like Rock Band!
I'll still call you floggers, anyways...
