Xbox 360 Fancast 157 -- Derailing the Thought Train
It's another week of putting up with a sub-par Richard-less Xbox 360 Fancast, we're afraid, made even worse by the fact we're down two people this week -- Xav won't be joining us. Alexander and Dave try to make a show for you all still, but without the love and guidance of the other two, things kinda go off the rails: both figuratively and literally. So buckle up, it's going to be a bumpy ride filled with more Battlefield: Bad Company 2 gushing, some John Cleese chit-chat and even a surprise phone call -- maybe. Enjoy!

Xbox 360 Fancast 156 -- Missing the Glue
It's a tough week for the Fancasters, who soldier on throughout a show without their usual host, Richard. He's the glue that holds this whole mess of madness, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 praise and Halo: Reach beta excitement together, y'know? Still, a podcast is what you expect and we try our best to create one of those things -- including a Mass Effect 2 spoiler warning at the end of the show!

Xbox 360 Fancast 155 -- The Un-Boycott
We're sure that somewhere, someday, gamers will learn what a boycott actually is. Thankfully, that day is still far in the future, allowing us to bask in the hilarity. Also featured on the show this week: News, mail and gold medal fever. But mostly it's just us jawing about how incomprehensible the Sonic the Hedgehog 4 boycott is.

Xbox 360 Fancast 154 -- Accent-uate the Positive [update: it's fixed]
Update 2: The file should be available for direct download and subscribers now. Yeah, the Fancast is a little late this week. We had a little technical problem. You see, technically, we forgot to hit the record button the first time we did the show. We made sure to rectify this error the second time around, and now you have a brand-spankin'-new episode. It's a pretty good one too, filled with news, fan mail and accent abuse. Next time, we'll hit the record button the first time. Promise. [iTunes] Subscribe to the Podcast directly in iTunes (MP3).

Xbox 360 Fancast 153 -- Ted Tyson's Toyota Town
While this week's episode of the Xbox 360 Fancast is chock-full of gaming news, including lots of info from Microsoft's X10 event and a Spoiler Warning segment for Assassin's Creed II, that is not its primary purpose. No, the real reason for this week's episode is to spread the gospel of Ted Tyson's Toyota Town. Truly, if there is a better car-buying experience on planet Earth, the members of X3F have not found it. Just listen to the latest episode and we're positive that you too will learn to love saving money on the best new and pre-owned vehicles that Texas has to offer.

Xbox 360 Fancast 152 -- Drinking with Strangers [update]
Update: Oh, incidentally, here's the Sonic Cycle image we discussed. After the break, you can also see Casey's Dropbear defense solution. This week on the Xbox 360 Fancast, we talk about one man's quest to find a copy of the original Mass Effect, what it takes to get into the First Annual Joystiq Blueberry Muffin Tops Breakfast and, just for fun, what Xav thinks of Sonic the Hedgehog 4. It is, as always, a laugh and a half. Download the latest episode for all this and more. Also, don't forget that it's okay to drink with strangers, just remember to BYOB*. *This is a joke.

Xbox 360 Fancast 151 -- Massively Affected
We're short one man on the Fancast this week, but that doesn't mean we can't talk about Mass Effect 2. So, expect to hear plenty of (spoiler free) discussion on that, as well as some new fan mail and another birthday shout out. As an added bonus, we get the first fan mail from one of our own hosts. Also, be sure to stick around for the outtakes. Something epic just may be in the offing. [iTunes] Subscribe to the Podcast directly in iTunes (MP3).

Xbox 360 Fancast 150 -- Of Centaurs and Male Bayonettas
This is it folks. 150 episodes of the Xbox 360 Fancast are now in the can, and that's not counting the many special episodes we recorded for events like E3 or the X3F TV video podcasts like XBLA in Brief. That's a lot of episodes. To celebrate, we brought on one of our biggest fans, a man who also happens to be responsible for our fantastic podcast artwork. That's right, it's none other than Chris Majewski, better known to Xbox Live as Magic Whiskey. As it happens, he's also responsible for some horrifying depictions of X3F's Richard and Alexander, both of which you can view after the break. We're not sure if they're safe for work or not, honestly. You'll just have to make that decision on your own. [iTunes] Subscribe to the Podcast directly in iTunes (MP3).

Xbox 360 Fancast 149 -- Yo So Offensive
Welcome to a shiny new episode of the Xbox 360 Fancast. This week, we talk about Bayonetta, the third party troubles of the Wii and how Natal might alleviate them. We also discuss just how the word "Yo" might be considered offensive by the Xbox Live team. Also, as you may have noticed, our podcast art has been updated to include our latest addition, Mr. Dave Hinkle. The art was once again created by friend of the Fancast, Chris Majewski.

Xbox 360 Fancast 148 -- Where is the Excitement?
We tried to get excited about Microsoft's CES 2010 announcements. We really did. Just listen to the latest Xbox 360 Fancast to find out how hard we tried. We also talk -- at great length -- about Bayonetta and its more ... naughty aspects. At one point, a hairy disco ball is mentioned. Give it a listen, and you'll also get a fresh installment of fanmail. Enjoy. [iTunes] Subscribe to the Podcast directly in iTunes (MP3).

Xbox 360 Fancast 146 -- Tempting Fate
It's unclear just how it happened, but this week's Fancast clocks in at almost two hours. It took a long time. Time that we could have spent writing about games. But, you demand podcast goodness and we must oblige, so prepare for a mountain of emails about underage gaming, the Japanese game industry, delicious dessert islands and more. We also take some time to discuss the NPD numbers and, of course, Starship Troopers. [iTunes] Subscribe to the Podcast directly in iTunes (MP3).

Xbox 360 Fancast: Holiday greetings from Dropbear
So, there isn't a full episode of the Xbox 360 Fancast this week. We're sorry. We were just so busy ingesting turkey over the weekend that we decided to take a little break.

Xbox 360 Fancast 144 -- Color Me Sadd
It's Fancast time once again, and this week we spend quite a bit of time on Left 4 Dead 2, which seems to be stirring up some contention on the ol' Joystiq.

Xbox 360 Fancast 143 -- Modern Podfare
Yep, you guessed it, this week is about Modern Warfare 2. We throw some news in there, and even squeeze in one fan mail after the break, but the bulk is Modern Warfare 2. In the first half of the show, we break down our impressions of the game. In the second half, we tackle the controversial "No Russian" mission, which you may have heard about. And yes, before you ask, there are dropbears. Our faithful readers have kept us apprised of the growing dropbear menace, providing us with crucial evidence, which you can find after the break.

Xbox 360 Fancast 142 -- ODSB
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.

Xbox 360 Fancast 141 -- Beware of Dropbears
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.

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.
