Xbox 360 Fancast 141 -- Beware of Dropbears

by Richard Mitchell { Nov 2nd 2009 at 6:00PM }

We discuss a lot of things on this week's Fancast. Borderlands bugs,Modern Warfare 2 controversy, all kinds of stuff. None of that is really important though. What is important, is that we apprise our audience of the very real danger posed by dropbears. What's a dropbear, you ask? You'll have to listen to the show to find out. However, as a teaser, please direct your attention after the break, where you will find an artist's rendering of the vicious creature -- as drawn by guest host Dave Hinkle. Now listen. Listen and learn.

(Also after the break, see what Richard, Xav and Alexander dressed as for Halloween.)

David Hinkle @ Nov 2nd 2009 6:27PM

Nah, it's a pretty crappy show.

CH3BURASHKA @ Nov 2nd 2009 6:35PM

Say, Dave Hinkle, how's the Wii Fancast going?

Mark @ Nov 2nd 2009 10:37PM

NDrew2 @ Nov 3rd 2009 7:29AM

In all seriousness, they're very good. Listen to them! :)

mafafu @ Nov 2nd 2009 6:42PM

A pointy hat is a great defense against dropbears.

colostomeboy @ Nov 2nd 2009 7:31PM

lolz @ pictures another great episode guys!

ZenGaijin @ Nov 2nd 2009 9:15PM

I am spreading the word about the deadly drop bears. Get to your homes ladies and fools! Wear a helmet for the love of christ on a bike!

SourNotHardcore @ Nov 3rd 2009 12:20AM

Wow, who made that hilarious sound of a dropbear at the end? Regardless of that, awesome show fellors.

aStagnantSleep @ Nov 3rd 2009 5:01AM

Hey @SourNotHardcore, Cute icon ;)

Awesome show, Hinkle should be a regular, or at the very least, return for next week's show including Xav.

Magic Whiskey @ Nov 3rd 2009 12:58AM

ZOMG THERE'S A DROPBEAR ON MY LOGO!! RUNNN

gnik eltrut @ Nov 3rd 2009 8:57AM

Hey Richard,
you didn't listen to my suggestion of using the subpop band, Obits for the music... so sad.

ian880 @ Nov 3rd 2009 10:35AM

Wow, Dave was a great addition to the show this week. I actually woke the dogs up because I was laughing so hard!

SuperTess @ Nov 3rd 2009 12:09PM

Thanks to Dave Hinkle's art, I know what to look out for if I ever go to Australia. Not that I will, with those terrors lurking in the trees.

Please have him on the show again!

Richard-(In his Milo Voice)
"You Remember when he said you could become a Balverine?"

Alexander- (In his Milo Voice)
"That was a Lie"

I laughed so hard at that!

prence @ Nov 3rd 2009 1:36PM

60 minutes? How freaking old are you?!

Also I laugh hysterically every time Hinkle says 'there' but pronounces it as 'dere.'

David Hinkle @ Nov 4th 2009 2:35AM

Growing up in SW Philly makes you say it that way. You should hear me pronounce "water!"

prence @ Nov 4th 2009 1:05PM

I feel ya. Growing up in Boston, I am incapable of pronouncing words with multiple r's.

Veazie @ Nov 3rd 2009 3:21PM

Great show this week, freaking hilarious. I think Dave Hinkle should be on every week.

Brad4815 @ Nov 3rd 2009 4:12PM

Hinkle was great on it! You guys should bring him back every week. ;)

And despite living in the US, I'm now scared to sit under trees.....

Erich Souza @ Nov 4th 2009 9:09AM

you guys should really make a dropbear attacking sound constest. this would be just hilarious! and please, try to put Dave as a show regular as well. you guys just rule!

boredasfook @ Nov 4th 2009 9:19PM

get Hinkle back on the show next week it was hilarious great stuff guys.

DragonAce05 @ Nov 5th 2009 7:22AM

Hinkle would be a great regular. I've never said this about a Canadia but Jake from XBOX Canada was cool and I think you should as him to come on everyone once in a while.

DragonAce05 @ Nov 5th 2009 7:22AM

ask*

cows84ever @ Nov 5th 2009 7:47PM

is it just me or did you drop the ball on your ever so promising sound board?

nord2007 @ Nov 5th 2009 8:04PM

Great discussion on the Aussie Zero Punctuation.

P.S. The Milo role playing was priceless.

decipher1 @ Nov 9th 2009 1:12PM

Good episode, but i could have done without all the giggling and dropbear discussion.

cows84ever @ Nov 10th 2009 9:09PM

how dare you disrespect the drop bear! you better watch your head... literally.
