Xbox 360 Fancast 142 -- ODSB

by Richard Mitchell { Nov 9th 2009 at 6:15PM }

We have got an absolute doozy of a show for you this week folks. Not only is it super long -- clocking in at nearly two hours -- but we invited Mr. Dave Hinkle to join in the shenanigans once again. With Xav back on the show, that's like four times the mayhem ... or something. We also talk about the greatest threat mankind has ever faced: The ODSB. What's an ODSB, you ask? You'll have to listen to find out.

Also, shout out to Menno B, who brought our attention to the meticulously crafted, custom Dropbear Mazda Protege in Forza Motorsport 3. Check out another image of it right here on the X3F Facebook group (you should join!). Be sure to drop us a line if you create or find any X3F-themed goodies out there!

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.)

Xbox 360 Fancast 140 -- The Huge Mistake

by Xav de Matos { Oct 26th 2009 at 9:00PM }

In this week's episode of the (late) Xbox 360 Fancast, our hosts discuss all things Modern Warfare 2, Fable's episodic future and berate one host for making (what some may consider) a huge mistake. Also, Joystiq alum Ludwig Kietzmann jumps into the fray to help us answer fanmail, in an episode you're probably sure to enjoy.

Xbox 360 Fancast 139 -- Back in Time

by Richard Mitchell { Oct 20th 2009 at 6:45PM }

After losing the first half of the show to a tragic recording accident, and then delaying the show so you could find out about your Twitters and Facebooks and whatnot, the Xbox 360 Fancast is finally here. This week we rant on the upcoming Dashboard update, Project Natal's price and learn about Canada's rich cultural heritage.

Also, behold our new podcast art, brought to you by Chris Majewski. Check out some of his other work right here (serious commissions can contact him at Commissions [dawt] CSMajewski [att] yahoo [dawt] com).

Xbox 360 Fancast 138 -- The Xbox 360 Fancast (Fancast)

by Richard Mitchell { Oct 12th 2009 at 6:30PM }

The ol' Fancast keeps on truckin' this week, with intrepid hosts Alexander, Xav and Richard pressing on through some nigh indomitable audio issues. We discuss Forza 3, Dante's Inferno and the evils of Games on Demand. We also welcome back the Spoiler Warning feature, in which we discuss Batman: Arkham Asylum. Grab a blanket, sidle up next to the fire and warm your soul with some piping hot Fancast.

Xbox 360 Fancast 137 -- Two Tix to Tokyo

by Xav de Matos { Oct 5th 2009 at 6:50PM }

With Richard and Xav both returning from far off lands, this episode spirals into an out-of-control frenzy of giggles and inappropriate behavior. Basically, it's the same thing you've come to love and expect. This week we hear all about the Tokyo Game Show, video game violence and who does and does not deserve to get punched.

Xbox 360 Fancast 136 -- The End of an Era

by Richard Mitchell { Sep 28th 2009 at 12:15PM }

This is it. This is the show, kids. It's the very last episode of the Xbox 360 Fancast with Dustin Burg. We figured the most appropriate way to commemorate the occasion would be spending the entire episode talking about Halo 3: ODST, so that's exactly what we did. We also read from the gigantic pile of farewell letters that Dustin received. Give it a listen, and then give our departing host a moment of silence.

Big thanks to Chris Majewski (AKA Magic Whiskey) for the farewell art above. Oh, we're also sure that you're wondering how we plan to deal with the problem of Dustin still being in our regular podcast art. Well, we've got it covered, thanks to reader Kcasey. Check out our new podcast art after the break.

Xbox 360 Fancast 135 -- Earth: Shattered

by Richard Mitchell { Sep 21st 2009 at 4:25PM }

This show is a doozy, folks. Not only do we go through the normal motions -- news, games, fanmail, etc -- but we do it all while having fun with our new soundboard. And, before all is said and done, we cap the show off with an announcement that will change the show forever. We don't want to oversell it, but this might be the single most important document ever recorded. You should probably download a copy right now.

Xbox 360 Fancast 134 -- Roosters Don't Have Teeth Redux

by Richard Mitchell { Sep 14th 2009 at 6:15PM }

It's been a long time since we chatted with the folk at Rooster Teeth (almost 100 episodes!). With Red vs Blue still going strong and a new Halo 3: ODST ad campaign underway, we figured it was time to go at it again. We also talk about Sonic and the fools that keep crawling back to him, only to watch him speed away and laugh. Download it, and always remember: Camping is a legitimate strategy.

Xbox 360 Fancast 133 -- Bro'in Out, eh?

by Xav de Matos { Sep 7th 2009 at 3:45PM }

Even with Richard and Dustin heading off to PAX, the X3F train rolls on. Alexander and Xav tackle a pile of Fanmail and bring special guest Jake Reardon (Xbox Canada's Community Manager) along for the journey. We laugh, discuss the gaming industry and drink brandy from fancy glasses ... like gentlemen.

Xbox 360 Fancast 132 -- Flexibility

by Richard Mitchell { Aug 31st 2009 at 6:15PM }

We've got an interesting show this week. We spend quite a bit of time talking about the Elite price cut as well as the "flexibility" offered by not including HDMI or component cables in the new bundle. We also grill Alexander about GamesCom and his recent trip to Germany. Of course, there's all the other usual malarkey and hullabaloo as well. Enjoy.

Xbox 360 Fancast 131 -- The Pursuit of Chairness

by Richard Mitchell { Aug 24th 2009 at 5:20PM }

So, Shadow Complex came out last week. In case you haven't heard, we kind of liked it. So, we thought it would be a good opportunity to wrangle some time with Donald Mustard, creative director of Chair Entertainment, the studio behind Shadow Complex. Download the show to learn about the game, the Mustard family and just how the Chair name came to be.

Xbox 360 Fancast 130 -- An Absolute Steal

by Richard Mitchell { Aug 17th 2009 at 6:15PM }

We talk about a lot of things on this episode of the Fancast. We talk about Steven Spielberg, Halo and some other mishegoss. The really important thing is that we talk about this week's XBLA release, Shadow Complex. We've all had our hands on the game for a while now and, as it turns out, it's pretty good. Of course, if you read Joystiq, you already know that. But why settle for reading a review of the game when you can hear us talk about it?

Yeah, case closed.

Xbox 360 Fancast 129 -- Boing Boing Ratta Tatta

by Richard Mitchell { Aug 10th 2009 at 6:45PM }

We got an email not to long ago claiming that it was impossible to get all four hosts of the Fancast nowadays. Given the fact that we are once again short one member (Xav) this week, we're starting to agree. Whether it's some sort of curse that has been placed upon us or simple bad timing, who's to say?

Apart from our missing cohort, we discuss a bevy of interesting topics this week, including the possible phasing out of the 360 Pro console and a surefire way to make Alexander hate you during a match of Battlefield 1943. All this an more lies before you in this, the 129th episode of the Xbox 360 Fancast. Download it!

Xbox 360 Fancast 128 -- Who Moved Christmas?

by Richard Mitchell { Aug 3rd 2009 at 5:15PM }

We're one short this week, as Dustin was off doing something more important (and perhaps illicit). And yet, we still soldier on. After all, you need your Fancast and we're here to make sure you get it. Download the latest for plenty of news, fanmail and some lengthy discussion on Shadow Complex. Also, we've got special music this week, "Donuts, Go Nuts!" from 'Splosion Man. It's good.
