Xbox 360 Fancast 190 -- What's Frappening?
You're in for quite the piping-hot treat of justice today, as the Xbox 360 Fancast crew find themselves in rare form for the 190th episode of this podcasting institution. There's plenty of punny taglines for our coffee-themed super hero we've concocted in our noggins, but there's also talk of this Xbox 360 video games console thing, as well -- specifically, about how well Kinect has been doing and how much fun it is to stab your friends.

Xbox 360 Fancast 189 -- Finding Hinkle
There's a lot of talk about important things in this week's episode of X3F. We talk up the huge sales of Call of Duty: Black Ops and, of course, the impending sale of Harmonix. These things pale in comparison to the real topic of conversation however, because you must know that there is an intruder in your home ... and its name is Kinect. That's right: Kinect is watching you. What's more, we have proof (and a catchy theme song).

Xbox 360 Fancast 179.5 -- PAX Prime 2010
It may be a holiday here in the US, but the show must go on! This isn't a traditional episode -- instead, we're just talking PAX Prime 2010, answering some questions from Twitter and addressing some fanmail.

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 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.

Xbox 360 Fancast 165 -- The Lost Episode (maybe)
So, our iTunes feed is having a bit of a problem. You know it. We know it. We're working on it. With that out of the way, it's time for another episode of the Xbox 360 Fancast. This week, we talk about new Assassin's Creed, adorable father-and-daughter gaming habits and ... Voltron? Yup. Download it. [iTunes] Subscribe to the Podcast directly in iTunes (MP3).

Xbox 360 Fancast 164 -- Wake Up!
The show is a bit on the short side this week, thanks to one Mr. Alan Wake. Still, even with time cut short, we manage to squeak out all the major news this week, including Call of Duty: Black Ops and, of course, the Bungie / Activision partnership.

Xbox 360 Fancast -- Halo: Reach beta special
The Joystiq staff, among many other lucky gamers, was fortunate enough to get early access to the Halo: Reach beta this week. Rather than waste all this fun on ourselves, we've decided to check in with you, our loyal listeners. Grab this special Xbox 360 Fancast episode to see what we think of the Halo: Reach beta so far.

Xbox 360 Fancast 163 -- Reaching Out
Halo: Reach plays a big part of this week's Xbox 360 Fancast. Our own Xav de Matos played the game for several hours last week, and we grill him for the details (jet packs!). Of course, we also take a few minutes to discuss the news out of Captivate 2010 as well as the other important things that happened last week (including even more Halo: Reach news).

Xbox 360 Fancast 162 -- Dear Fakey
A great many things happen on the Xbox 360 Fancast this week. Of course we talk about the latest news -- including Halo: Reach and the "moistness level" it inspires -- but we also introduce the first X3F produced video game, HinkleBlaster. Also, finally, it's time to roll out our latest recurring feature, Dear Fakey, in which Joystiq's own Kevin Kelly takes listener emails and laces them with Casey Kasem magic.

Xbox 360 Fancast 161 -- Biebered
Suffice it to say that there is far too much talk about Justin Bieber this week. A week ago, none of us knew who he was. This week? Fascinated. There's also plenty of talk about video games, including the announcement of Respawn Entertainment, the new outfit founded by ex Infinity Ward heads, Jason West and Vince Zampella. Also, there's some serious discussion about turning the Xbox 360 Fancast into a zany morning radio show. You should download it. [iTunes] Subscribe to the Podcast directly in iTunes (MP3).

Xbox 360 Fancast 160 -- Breached
PAX East may be over, but that doesn't mean we aren't done talking about it. Perhaps you've heard that something awfully strange (and illegal) went down there. Yes, the Breach theft. We spend a hefty chunk of the show discussing that this week, along with plenty of news (Halo: Reach!) fan mail and Twitter questions and comments. Once again, if you'd like to drop us some comments on Twitter, just post a tweet with the #x3f hashtag.

Xbox 360 Fancast 159 -- Doin' the Hashtag Shuffle
PAX East has come to an end, and the whole X3F crew is back together again. In a manner of speaking anyway. We've got two major segments this week. First, Richard grills Alexander and Dave about the magic that was PAX -- as well as some of the news that broke during the show. And second, since Xav was still on the road back to Canadia during recording, we've got a pre-recorded fireside chat with him hosted by Alexander. At the very least, you'll learn never to forget who Angie Harmon is. Oh, we take some questions via the #x3f hashtag on Twitter.

Xbox 360 Fancast vs. PAX East: Day One
This is the part in the post where we make some incredible introduction about how this episode -- recorded following day one of PAX East 2010 -- will change your lives. It will, but that's not the point. Forget that. We're here to tell you about two things: First, you really need to get your butts to the Joystiq Breakfast Event (brought to you Malt-O-Meal!) Saturday morning; and second, Halfbrick's Phil Larsen wants to tell you all about the XBLA-exclusive Raskulls. Phil -- a former Nintendo.Joystiq team member! -- joins an all-star cast in this brief X3F PAX Special. Actually, Richard didn't make it and although we replaced him with the sultry tones of Joystiq's Kevin Kelly, it's still not the same! Miss ya, Rich!
