Xbox 360 Fancast 179 -- Hinkletone
We talk some more about Kinect this week, and have a discussion on the subject used games. The real meat, however, lies in the creation of the David Hinkle ringtone or, as we're calling it, the Hinkletone. You can download it right here. Enjoy.

Xbox 360 Fancast 178 -- Piloten wie Wir
The gang's all back in town, folks. Alexander returns from a long, tiring trip to GDC Europe and Gamescom. Put on the kettle and get cozy: He's got some stories.

Poll: Are you using TV Everywhere, anywhere?
We've seen various providers from Comcast to U-Verse to Verizon roll out / refresh their online portals with loads of streaming TV content, bringing the cable video on demand experience to the PC, but is anyone taking advantage of TV Everywhere? Other options like Slingbox and of course, pirated streams and downloads have been around and will remain, plus newer unaffiliated sources like Hulu and Netflix, so we'll see if there's any room left for these initiatives, and if they're enough to keep you paying that ever-expanding TV bill each month.%Poll-51605%
Xbox 360 Fancast 177 -- Just the Two
Alexander is off in Germany to attend GDC Europe and Gamescom, so it's just Richard and Dave this week. Listen as we tackle July NPD numbers, BioShock Infinite and the bizarre conflation of words that is Melty Blood: Actress Again. Oh, fine, we'll throw in a quick MP3 that Alexander sent us from Germany, too. You know we spoil you. [iTunes] Subscribe to the Podcast directly in iTunes (MP3).

Xbox 360 Fancast 176 -- Monday Night Podcast
Monday Night Combat is pretty great. Listen to the latest Xbox 360 Fancast to hear us talk about it. Then listen as we lament the lack of online co-op in Lara Croft and the heartless (hopefully temporary) removal of Kinect functionality from Fable 3. Also, bad British accents make a triumphant return. Hit the download button and commence with the listening. [iTunes] Subscribe to the Podcast directly in iTunes (MP3).

Xbox 360 Fancast 175 -- Dry Spell
Things were a bit slow in the news department last week, but that hasn't stopped us from soldiering on and producing a brand new Fancast for you. This week we talk about non-news, answer some Twitter questions and spend (perhaps too much) time discussing the state of the RPG. Thanks to Jason for our new mention bump!

Xbox 360 Fancast 174 -- The High Price
Kinect is expensive. We know that now, and we talk about it on this week's episode of the Xbox 360 Fancast. We also talk Limbo, Street Fighter X Tekken and Halo: Reach's Forge World. Also, Alexander complains about picking flowers in Red Dead Redemption. Thanks, to @thriftynerd for the great podcast art! [iTunes] Subscribe to the Podcast directly in iTunes (MP3).

Xbox 360 Fancast 173 -- The Meltdown
There are things that really just shouldn't be said on a podcast freely available to the public. Someday, we may learn this lesson. That day is not today.

Xbox 360 Fancast 172 -- Beating a Red Dead Horse
We've got more talk about Read Dead Redemption this week, along with some discussion about Crackdown 2. We also take some time to discuss whether or not you can play Kinect sitting down, and then we put the whole rumor to bed. Or should that be on the couch?

Xbox 360 Fancast 171 -- Home for the Holiday
Even though it's a holiday today, we managed to round up two of your three usual hosts for a bit of the old Fancasting. But just because it's a holiday, don't go thinking there ain't a thing worth talking about -- we tackle the latest NPD numbers, this Hulu Plus business and even find time to sing our favorite fabric-based commercial from the mid '90s.

Xbox 360 Fancast E3 2010 Special 1 (Of 1)
It's E3, which means it's time for the traditional and sleepy special edition of the Xbox 360 Fancast. Listen as we marvel over Comic Jumper, Gears of War 3, Brink and more. Oh, and some off-topic 3DS love. In addition, stay tuned after the episode for an entire second episode, which encountered technical difficulties earlier this week. Rather than banish it to the ether, we've placed it after the outro music, so stick around to hear it in its entirety. [iTunes] Subscribe to the Podcast directly in iTunes (MP3).

Fancast redesign highlights what's streaming in HD
There was a time when Comcast's Fancast.com was about streaming video aggregation instead of remote DVR scheduling and integrated XFINITY / TV Everywhere madness, and now it's given that content a new front end. The new design for the Full Episodes section offers a very Netflix-ish look with thumbnails instead of rows of text for each program currently streaming, but most importantly it now more clearly points out what is available to watch in 720p HD. Users can filter by HD availability, genre, network and more, plus see info on shows on mouseover instead of clicking through. On the surface everything looks slick and usable from here, give it a once over and let us know how it holds up.
Xbox 360 Fancast 168 -- Alan Wake: Spoiled
This weeks' episode is all about spoiling some Alan Wake. Well, that and talking about people flailing about in front of a Natal unit. If you've yet to finish Alan Wake, you should probably skip the second half of the show. Listen to the first half for some thoughts on Natal and what we hope to see from Microsoft at E3 next week.

Xbox 360 Fancast 167 -- Recently Deceased
And then there were two. That's right, it's just Richard and Dave this week. Alexander, jerk that he is, decided to go vacationing in London. That doesn't stop us from gabbing about Alan Wake, Halo: Reach and our own deaths, though. Give it a listen for the news, fanmail and your Twitter questions.
