Xbox 360 Fancast 070 -- Posi-Bong

by Richard Mitchell { May 27th 2008 at 5:15PM }

Reaching episode 070 of the Xbox 360 Fancast is kind of like reaching your birthday after 25. Sure, there is a perfunctory, soulless celebration, but the truth is that the presents are dwindling, and the ones you do get are probably clothes anyway. There was a time when we used to truly celebrate every tenth episode of the Fancast. This was mainly because each milestone seemed less likely than the last. Nowadays, however, another ten episodes seems inevitable, rote, ordinary. C'est lå vie, non?

Oh, Xav is back. That's worth celebrating, right?

In order from left to right maybe?

UNSCleric @ May 27th 2008 5:25PM

Why does the one character look 40+ years old?

Xav de Matos @ May 27th 2008 5:35PM

Richard, Dustin, Xav, Alexander, Terrence

Also, some of the information about delisting titles wasn't available when this show was recorded and has since been clarified.

Enjoy the show!

Digital Limit @ May 27th 2008 5:44PM

Digital Limit @ May 27th 2008 5:44PM

Chester @ May 27th 2008 5:45PM

Someone is in serious need of the "Hair Club For Men"!!

Aero @ May 27th 2008 5:48PM

So are both Terrence and Xav on this podcast or can we still keep the Terrence = Xav conspiracy going?

StLouisRibs7734 @ May 27th 2008 5:52PM

search for alexander sliwinski gaygamer.net and a picture with the real him is there.

Chester @ May 27th 2008 6:03PM

Gamers are gamers, no matter their sexual preference! More power to ya Alex!

StLouisRibs7734 @ May 27th 2008 6:21PM

Wow... the description on this fancast is a little depressing. Richard is a Debbie Downer.

Richard Mitchell @ May 27th 2008 6:16PM

Sometimes I just get going with an idea and I can't stop...

ZEBRA NINER @ May 27th 2008 6:19PM

Yeah... well now I'm sad, and I've got a tear in my eye and a hole in my heart. Thanks... ass. ;)

Xav de Matos @ May 27th 2008 6:21PM

I just cut myself!

deltaloko @ May 27th 2008 7:09PM

....and the depression continuous

UNSCleric @ May 27th 2008 6:23PM

I've been cutting myself since I woke up this morning, and drinking.

ZenGaijin @ May 27th 2008 6:24PM

The next fancast should be entitled xbox360 Fancast: Updated Zune Album art edition.

Xav de Matos @ May 27th 2008 6:26PM

Hey it's fixed! Can't complain anymore!

StLouisRibs7734 @ May 27th 2008 6:33PM

yes, we can.

deltaloko @ May 27th 2008 7:10PM

lol

ZenGaijin @ May 27th 2008 8:18PM

Yeah Xav, me and Zombie couldn't believe it when it finally happened.

Kudos to Richard!

DaMan09 @ May 27th 2008 8:51PM

I dont see the album art being updated at all.

ZenGaijin @ May 27th 2008 9:17PM

You have to switch to this feed:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/xbox360fancast

Bam, Zune updated album art.

DaMan09 @ May 27th 2008 11:08PM

Awesome, now all you have to do is get Joystiq to fix their feed, and we are all good.

Sophia @ May 27th 2008 7:38PM

Hello, I'm a first time listener to the podcast.
An i just wanna say this. Wow! That Dustin guy sounds like a chick! Is he really a he? He voice is so female like. (lol)

Anyway, this a decent podcast. It's not great, but it's decent.

StLouisRibs7734 @ May 27th 2008 7:42PM

First, welcome. Second, WTF?

Chester @ May 27th 2008 7:51PM

I actually thought he was a 12 year old boy, the first time I heard fanboy podcast. So i get what ur saying. But now im addicted to the podcast!

Korova @ May 29th 2008 8:23PM

Yeah, Dustin has that cracking voice of a teen, but I like his contribution to the podcast.

Homer 918 @ May 27th 2008 8:03PM

I'm glad you guys got so much mileage out of my question, thanks for another great episode.

ZenGaijin @ May 27th 2008 8:32PM

ZenGaijin gets the mention....not directly though.

Last mintue Rocket to the helicopter for the win!

Xav de Matos @ May 27th 2008 9:01PM

@DaMan09

Easy fix is, delete your old feed URL and use the new Zune link in this post.

Fixed!

DaMan09 @ May 29th 2008 10:24PM

Awesome, now all you have to do is tell the joystiq podcast guys how you did it.

Lewis (GT: StoneRevolver) @ May 28th 2008 12:42AM

"X3F will never threaten to stab you"

O_o?

CJJB @ May 28th 2008 7:15AM

Wait a minute...

I've been listening to the X3F podacast since day 1 and I was just thinking...Who the hell is Terrance?

ZEBRA NINER @ May 28th 2008 11:04AM

Terrence=Xav, in disguise.

DjDATZ @ May 28th 2008 10:45AM

listening now. :D

DjDATZ @ May 28th 2008 12:09PM

do you want me to post the fancast address again for ya? :P ahahahahah lol

can i be a guest? :P

DjDATZ @ May 28th 2008 12:26PM

Xav...UEFA is the European organization that regulates footy there. What you were talking about was the UEFA Cup and the UEFA Champions League, which happen yearly, and the UEFA Euro, which happens every 4 years (2 years off of the FIFA World Cup, kind of like the Winter and Summer Olympics). They are all different European football competitions.

I do agree with you that golf is not a sport. You hit a ball off a holder with a stick, drive or walk for several hours to find it, and repeat. You goal is to get this ball into a tiny hole in some far-off distant land...LOL

Enjoy! ;)

Xav de Matos @ May 28th 2008 6:34PM

Go Portugal.

DjDATZ @ May 28th 2008 12:55PM

Awesome podcast guys. I'm finally caught back up. :D

Conor @ May 28th 2008 2:45PM

I'm about a quarter way through now.
I mostly listen at night in bed....mostly =)

I'm trying to find the e-mail address for you guys,I need to ask questions!

Korova @ May 29th 2008 9:19PM

Oh, about that explosun of PS3 sales in 2009. I have a theory - its because of the digital conversion of US TV, which will lead people to buy HDTV and HD players plus a PS3 price cut = higher sales.

I took the trouble of finding supporting source. http://www.physorg.com/news7662.html
