Xbox 360 Fancast 096 -- What They Fancast

by Richard Mitchell { Dec 22nd 2008 at 9:15PM }

Update: It seems some internet imps stole about thirty seconds of audio from the show starting at 52:06. We've replaced the missing audio and re-uploaded both the MP3 and AAC versions. Refresh your RSS reader (iTunes, etc.) or manually download the new versions if you just have to know what's missing. (You kind of do.)

This week on the Xbox 360 Fancast, we've got a special holiday gift just for you. Rather than plow through the same old, tired formula we've been peddling for nearly two years now, we've decided to (slightly) mix things up with a special guest! This week we have none other than John Davison, co-host of the 1UP Yours podcast and co-founder of What They Like, the organization responsible for What They Play. Together we discuss the creation of What They Play as well as the direction of the game industry itself. And then, to cap it all off, we discuss a few Game of the Year candidates. Oh, and Alexander's back. Give it a listen.

The X3Fancast: Making drives down i-95 a little less suck-ass.

Alexander is a genius. Seriously dude, +20 respect points for his opinions on 'certain game'.

I felt same way.

Good podcast, love the guest appearances :P

Anyways another great podcast.

Ricard, your Dante's Inferno infomercial is gold, pure gold. Sadly the game looks exactly like what you advertised.

I agree with John's game of the year pick. I fucking love Fallout 3, but most fun I've had this year video game wise was playing Burnout Paradise. That game is fantastic.

Every podcast needs more Davison and expletives.

What's with the random cut off followed by a parody Dante's Inferno ad

Richard Mitchell @ Dec 23rd 2008 11:35AM

Ummmmm, I'm not sure what happened there. Working on uploading a corrected version now.

Listening to the 'Cast now.. Fallout 3 is absolutely my personal game of the year; the mood, flavor, unspoken creepiness and overall substance of the game blows away every other game that came out this year. When a game feels like it was born from a truly creative, intelligent mind and a passionate heart, it's tough to discern the experience as just a 'game'. Fallout 3, as an experience, is art. If you really allow yourself to feel as if you yourself are plodding through the Capitol Wastelands, it's almost too much to handle.
So yes.. as much as I didn't enjoy or spend much time with Oblivion, Fallout 3 was my total opposite and won me over so much. I finished the story in the game, and I loved it. I allowed myself to finish all of the 'found' missions before actually finishing the story, and it was about 53 hours of gameplay for me. Now that I'm done, I've gone back through and found more Vaults, more locations and more missions. I can't wait for the January DLC and anything else coming.

BTW, Thanks for the mention, Xander!

It's happened to the last three casts...it abruptly ends before it was done.

Hopefully this cast won't suck like the last ones did.

Btw, website and iPhone feature is pretty cool. You and Kotaku are the only ones that do it if I'm not mistaken. I wouldn't even come to this site if it wasn't for the iphone feature.
