Xbox 360 Fancast 080 -- Football!

by Richard Mitchell { Aug 18th 2008 at 6:15PM }

Episode 080. Wow. What can we say? It seems appropriate that this show drops the week after Madden 09. The more things change, the more they stay the same, so they say. As such, we bring you this fresh Fancast that is much the same as it ever was. We've got news, Fanmail, Fantalk and everything you've come to expect from us. And, thanks to Madden 09, we've got a heavy dose of footbaaaaalllll! Listen as we ponder our own existence (not really) and discuss just what the heck we're going to do for episode 100 (we really do talk about that).

Nice photoshop!

Ten Dolla Bill @ Aug 19th 2008 9:43AM

Finally, my hours of boredom around the office have led to this momentous day. My Photoshop skills being recognized by the masses!

offday @ Aug 18th 2008 6:28PM

That's Xav?

Hmm. I always pictured him as mexican for some reason.

Lewis (RROD: July 16) @ Aug 18th 2008 6:34PM

Ouch. Isn't he Portuguese?

Way off from Mexican :P

ZEBRA NINER @ Aug 18th 2008 7:00PM

I thought he said he was of Spanish descent. Whatever the case, using the term "some kind of Spanish" is acceptable. ;)

gaymerxbox360 @ Aug 18th 2008 6:29PM

It's appearing/downloading on iTunes.

gaymerxbox360 @ Aug 18th 2008 6:53PM

It's not appearing/downloading on iTunes*

(messed up my sentence)

Richard Mitchell @ Aug 18th 2008 8:07PM

It should be fixed once iTunes refreshes its feed.

Lewis (RROD: July 16) @ Aug 18th 2008 6:34PM

GOOD TIMING I was just getting on to see if this was up and ready.

MightyTACO @ Aug 18th 2008 6:36PM

Hmmm ... not downloading for me on iTunes right now ... giving me a can not find the url.

Fire Fawkes @ Aug 18th 2008 6:49PM

Yeah, it isn't working for me either. (Same issue)

ZEBRA NINER @ Aug 18th 2008 7:06PM

Same on Zune

Mauricio @ Aug 18th 2008 6:44PM

having trouble with the itunes feed. It shows as if their is a new fancast but nothing actually downloads. the "downloading" bar goes away after a split second.

cakey @ Aug 18th 2008 7:12PM

wow i thought that was colt brennan at first.

theechosen1 @ Aug 18th 2008 7:26PM

it is showing a error with the url when i try to download it via zune marketplace, can you readd it?

Shafnitz @ Aug 18th 2008 7:25PM

Both the iTunes feed and the RSS feed do not work.

gaymerxbox360 @ Aug 18th 2008 7:49PM

IT's Not Working Still >: /

(i guess i have to jog with out listening to it today)

Xav de Matos @ Aug 18th 2008 7:53PM

Direct download is working but the iTunes directory and RSS seems to be having some issues.

Download it for now, sorry about that folks.

gaymerxbox360 @ Aug 18th 2008 8:00PM

Epic Fail !!!

gaymerxbox360 @ Aug 18th 2008 8:03PM

Epic Fail !!!

AoE @ Aug 18th 2008 8:06PM

@gaymerxbox360,

Are you referring to your double-post?

gaymerxbox360 @ Aug 18th 2008 8:08PM

yes, that too :/

Xav de Matos @ Aug 18th 2008 8:29PM

iTunes works fine now btw...

Fierod @ Aug 18th 2008 9:11PM

THERE IS GEARS 2 NEWS!
There's a scam going around XBL, with hacked accounts sending messages saying there beta codes at some ripway site. Don't believe it its full of BULL! Just a heads up guys!

Fierod @ Aug 18th 2008 9:16PM

I timed my post horribly =*(
*looks at clock*
*tear*

Clinton oxendine @ Aug 18th 2008 9:29PM

same with microsoft point someone sent me 1 but i never went sounded stupid

Lewis (RROD: July 16) @ Aug 18th 2008 9:38PM

There is a fine line in this industry between News and rumorage and it all depends on the source. Messages from one user to another isn't reliable at all.

DaMan09 @ Aug 19th 2008 1:39AM

Holy Crap, I feel like a retard. I believe I was the one that sent in that tip about castle crashers to X3F.

*Shame*

DaMan09 @ Aug 19th 2008 1:52AM

BTW, I am one of those proud Zune users. Thanks for that album art update a while back.

SoL @ Aug 19th 2008 3:08AM

Dustin, you are the weakest link, goodbye

Dustin Burg @ Aug 19th 2008 1:58PM

how dare you!

Arnon @ Aug 19th 2008 5:50AM

Doo doo doo DOO DOO DOO Doo doo.

Saeth @ Aug 19th 2008 6:26AM

Wow, lol.
As soon as I read that it happened on the podcast.

SoxFan13 @ Aug 19th 2008 7:40AM

That looks like Joey Lawrence in a Brett Favre jersey.

ZenGaijin @ Aug 19th 2008 8:27AM

We 3 Zune users unite!!!

ZEBRA NINER @ Aug 19th 2008 9:50AM

With our Zunes combined... WE HAVE... 3 Zunes.

ZenGaijin @ Aug 19th 2008 10:16AM

Oh shit there might be 4 Zombienuts has a Zune too and whoever this new guy is we almost have a gang.

Demolition Elmo @ Aug 19th 2008 10:47AM

4 zuners ;-)

DaMan09 @ Aug 19th 2008 2:56PM

I too, have a Zune!

DudeRed @ Aug 19th 2008 3:50PM

I don't see why people don't like the Zune. It is a great piece of hardware. And someday we will be able to play XNA games on it...someday. *sigh*

DiddlyKong @ Aug 19th 2008 3:57PM

I have a Zune and hate the stretched out art. That's all.

ZenGaijin @ Aug 19th 2008 4:03PM

I have a Zune and it was updated awhile back. I think around the time of the last X3F community night.

Richard Mitchell @ Aug 19th 2008 4:05PM

The only beef I have with the Zune is that it doesn't support the Mac ... at all. Why Microsoft won't open it up to a demographic that *loves* portable media players is a total mystery to me.

ZEBRA NINER @ Aug 20th 2008 11:24AM

New Zune art please! If I download from the Zune marketplace, the artwork is all stretched out and crappy. If I direct download, and then sync it up with my Zune, the artwork is fine... but it's listed in music instead of podcasts.

Of course Richard would be a MAC user, dirty hippie. ;)

Boff @ Aug 19th 2008 9:18AM

I'd love to help with the X3FFDF but not sure the world is ready for my dull Welsh tones yet! And I'm not on Facebook anymore - all those people 'poking' me and sending me stupid shit.

But go X3FFDF!!

joey @ Aug 19th 2008 9:30AM

Is X3FFDF even necessary?
I mean the JFFDF is out of desperate self preservation.

We should have a X3FFAF, as in Xbox 360 Fanboy Fancast Appreciation Fancast.

Though we should amass an army anyways, should they wage an all out war.

joey @ Aug 19th 2008 9:25AM

Thanks for the geek voice, it was better than i thought.

ice~ @ Aug 19th 2008 9:56AM

Dustin you're my hero... No one truly understands the power of Viva Pinata!!!!!!!! It is up there on the top ten 360 games. But you do have to be careful with those crates full of flesh eating Pinata herpes.....

MightyTACO @ Aug 19th 2008 12:57PM

I appreciated your Madden commentary Xav ... I couldn't agree with you more on the whackness of the Madden skill stuff. Those running and passing "tests" are far too easy and the defense "tests" are crazy hard. It definitely does some things right, but has some epic fails too. Still a great game none the less.

omaribrooks @ Aug 19th 2008 2:10PM

Another Zune listener here. I was always to lazy to comment about the crappy artwork that displayed for the podcast, nice to know you guys actually tried to rectify the situation.
