Xbox 360 Fancast 081 -- Pacifism is a Strange Word

by Richard Mitchell { Aug 25th 2008 at 5:45PM }

This week on the Xbox 360 Fancast we have a very special guest, none other than Matthew McCarthy, the writer of "Geometry Wars Will Be the Death of Me." You may recognize him better as "that dude that wrote the Geometry Wars song." We probe Matt's mind and discover what inspired the song and we even play the new full band version of his song. Of course we also have our usual news and even an X08 report from Xav. Give the show a listen and enjoy.

Also, don't forget to check out the X3F Fancast Defense Force Podcast, made by some of our most stalwart fans.

Thanks to Stuart Harper for the image!

RedSonRising @ Aug 25th 2008 6:24PM

lol, zune artwork: get an ipod already..

anyway, thanks for posting the podcast.. i love the show and im always looking forward to the next one..

PS: leave some comments in the iTunes area too ppl.. X3F's ratings there dont reflect how 'special' this show is and it really is the best xbox 360 related podcast on iTunes IMHO..

HEY ALL ZUNE OWNERS, REPLY TO THIS COMMENT! I WANT TO SEE AND PROVE TO THE iPOD DETRACTORS THAT WE ARE NOT THE UGLY DUCKLINGS, THAT WE DO NOT FALL FOR THE APPLE PROPAGANDA WE ARE STRONG! WE WALK TALL! WE ARE...

LEGEND.

But really guys, support your media player. He needs it (yeah, it's a he).

ZEBRA NINER @ Aug 25th 2008 7:02PM

Are you trying to start some kind of Zune vs. ipod war?

ZenGaijin @ Aug 25th 2008 7:40PM

Zune users unite

DaMan09 @ Aug 26th 2008 2:47AM

I arm sounding off.

Shafnitz @ Aug 25th 2008 6:56PM

I hadn't heart the studio version of the Geometry Wars song. That song is freaking awesome!

TXAustin @ Aug 25th 2008 7:32PM

Fix it Richard!!! Fix it!!!!

Brook @ Aug 25th 2008 7:34PM

i AM a proud zune owner and say zune owners unite!!!!

ZenGaijin @ Aug 25th 2008 7:37PM

We Zune users roll deep son, you don't want none.

Fucking apple zombies.

RedSonRising @ Aug 30th 2008 3:24PM

@ ZenGaijin

mmmm, brains.

zune lovers may 'roll deep' but you're out numbered 15 to 1.. i love my 360 because works perfectly with my ipods (plural) and my macbook and its the only m$ product allowed in my house; i know ps3 owners arent so lucky..

the grass is definitely greener on this side and really, who can resist good brains?
