You wrote "directly" wrong for the Zune part. :D

Anyways, I'm gonna start listening to these fancasts now. I haven't ever listened to one.

Richard Mitchell @ May 19th 2008 6:00PM

No, I wrote "irectly" right!

:)

ZenGaijin @ May 19th 2008 6:43PM

Richard, if you do not find a way to update the Zune Album art I will sneak into your house and assault you with my advanced mp3 player.

Richard Mitchell @ May 19th 2008 9:32PM

Zen,

If it was something easy for me to change, I would. Unfortunately, it's something that's not in our direct control. Try subscribing to this feed instead. If it works, we may try to switch over to this feed permanently:

It's more of a running gag now (especially after the community night) but I'll see if this works and report back to you.

The two Zune users that listen to you guys being myself and Zombienutz been looking for this a long time.

ZenGaijin @ May 20th 2008 12:07AM

*bows at Richards feet*

You have fixed that which would never be fixed my Zune and I thank you kind sir.

You shall no longer be assaulted by my superior mp3 player.

Love, ZenGaijin

DeceasedFriend @ May 22nd 2008 11:53PM

Andrew K @ May 19th 2008 7:35PM

Yeah Richard, you need to change that horrible album art. Atleast scale it into a square.

Gloqwi @ May 19th 2008 8:27PM

OMG! Xav looks so much more different then what I expected...and in a GOOD way too!

Xav de Matos @ May 19th 2008 11:33PM

DVSDevise @ May 20th 2008 12:57AM

I didn't enjoy the GTA IV ending talk really, had to pull the headphones off. Some people are still enjoying the game. Anyway, no hate just love. Thanks for the podcast.

Lewis (GT: StoneRevolver) @ May 20th 2008 1:52AM

they dont say aanything about it at all, just that it basically wasnt what Alexander thought it would be like.

Lewis (GT: StoneRevolver) @ May 20th 2008 1:51AM

Dustin says lips 34 times :)

Neuromancer @ May 20th 2008 9:40AM

Can't remember who it was that was having the heliocopter achievement problem (think it was Alexander) but I noticed when I was doing it, and looked at the map, there were sometimes little trophy symbols on the bridges I hadn't flown under. I say "sometimes" because other times I'd look at the map and they weren't there. I think maybe they pop up when you fly under a bridge but if you've only got one left that may be a problem.

In addition, there are 3 bridges from east to west very close together in the south west part of the map (Alderney I think) and they were a little tricky to get. I want to say that at least one of them isn't even over water, it's more like an overpass, but I could be wrong about that.

Richard Mitchell @ May 20th 2008 7:04PM

Whoops. Echoplex was last week. Correct song attributed.

joey @ May 20th 2008 10:02AM

Dude, The bridge song is not Echoplex.

On the same subject.

The bridge you missed in GTA is probably in southern Alderney near the oil refinery. Where you can fly underneath four bridges in a row, where two of bridges are very, very low to the ground.

Problem I had was with the one furtherest (can't believe this is actually a word) to the west. I flew underneath it, nothing happened. Then I realized the bridge had multiple sections and You must fly under the section just a little further to the south to obtain the achievement.

Let me know if this helps.

Also there are actually two bridges connecting Algonquin to Bohan far north one after another. I think one of them is the train track. Make sure you've flown under both.

To the X3F guys:

I just thought I share some information about million selling games, since you guys were discussing it in the podcast.

Xbox 360 Million Sellers (41)

PS3 Million Sellers (14)

So I guess it's 2.92:1 not quite 16:2 (lol)

Still excellent though
