Xbox 360 Fancast 091 -- Ironing is fun!
The Xbox 360 Fancast rolls on (despite numerous cries to stop). This week we discuss our early experience with Gears of War 2 (Horde mode is great fun, by the way), our hopes and fears for Ghostbusters and the joys of ironing. And, thanks to the perils of a weekend recording schedule, it turns out that we are lying when we say that Rare has no plans to fix the tiny text in Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. Also, Dustin actually manages to make it through the whole show without leaving to play Gears of War 2. Listen. Laugh. Grow.[iTunes] Subscribe to the Podcast directly in iTunes (MP3).[Zune] Subscribe to the Podcast directly in Zune Marketplace (MP3).[RSS MP3] Add the Xbox 360 Fanboy Podcast feed (in MP3) to your RSS aggregator and have the show delivered automatically.[AAC] Download the enhanced AAC directly.[MP3] Download the MP3 directly.Hosts: Richard Mitchell (SenseiRAM), Dustin Burg (SuperDunners), Alexander Sliwinski (Sli Xander), Xav de Matos (Snypz)Produced by Richard MitchellMusic: Intro/Outro: "Electromooq" by Uma Floresta, "Obedient Minds" by Dubious Quip.For fans: Xbox 360 Fancast Facebook groupThanks to Arturo Romero for the image, and for pimping X3F at a Gears of War 2 launch party in LA!
Xbox 360 Fancast 090 -- Gearstravaganza
Yeah, so this week's episode of the Xbox 360 Fancast is all about Gears of War 2. What, you were expecting something different? Silly internets. So, um, yeah, that's about all there is to say. Xav has played all the way through the single-player campaign and tried out the multiplayer of Gears of War 2. We talk about it. A lot.

Xbox 360 Fancast 089 -- A Golden Shower of Games
It's time once again for the Xbox 360 Fancast. Things are mostly back to normal after last week's Fable fest. We even cover regular news again! Isn't that something? We also take a moment to vent about folks that actually didn't like all of our super awesome Fable II coverage. The audacity! Oh, and Xav is back. Yes, it's a plain, white bread show. Sometimes, though, that's exactly what you need, right?[iTunes] Subscribe to the Podcast directly in iTunes (MP3).[Zune] Subscribe to the Podcast directly in Zune Marketplace (MP3).[RSS MP3] Add the Xbox 360 Fanboy Podcast feed (in MP3) to your RSS aggregator and have the show delivered automatically.[AAC] Download the enhanced AAC directly.[MP3] Download the MP3 directly.Hosts: Richard Mitchell (SenseiRAM), Dustin Burg (SuperDunners), Alexander Sliwinski (Sli Xander), Xav de Matos (Snypz)Produced by Richard MitchellMusic: Intro/Outro: "Electromooq" by Uma Floresta.

Xbox 360 Fancast 088 -- Fable 2 Baby, Yeah!
Given the image above, there's really no beating around the bush with this one: this week's episode of the Xbox 360 Fancast is all about Fable II. We've been playing the game for a couple weeks now, and we're just dying to share. If you think you've got what it takes to listen to us jaw about one of Microsoft's would-be heavy hitters for an hour, you'd better do yourself a favor and click the download link of your choice.

Xbox 360 Fancast 087 -- Gelatin Slingers
var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/podcasts/Xbox_360_Fanboy_2'; Analysts, as you know, are shady figures that gaze at the gaming industry from on high, making wild (or obvious) prognostications and get paid billions of dollars to do it. At least, that's what we thought they were before recording this week's episode of the Fancast. This week, we talk to Jesse Divnich, analyst with Electronic Entertainment Design and Research (or EEDAR as the kids call it). To our great surprise, we discover that industry analysis is a lot more than just throwing Jell-O at the wall and seeing what sticks.We also look at the latest news and Dustin gives us his impressions of Dead Space.

Xbox 360 Fancast 086 -- Proof, Meet Pudding
Now, we've read some comments complaining that it's hard to tell the difference between the voices of Alexander and Dustin. Frankly, it's something we've never understood. They sound completely different. Like, totally. But there is a new comment, and that is that Richard (that's me!) sounds exactly like Chris Grant from the Joystiq Podcast. This is patently false, and we're going to prove it.Oh, and we also cover the latest news* .... yadda, yadda, yadda.

Xbox 360 Fancast 085 -- Space Janitors
This week we have some special guests on the Xbox 360 Fancast. We have Community Manager Ben Swanson and Online Marketing Manager Andrew Green from Electronic Arts to discuss Dead Space and its No Known Survivors campaign. Beyond that we have the usual news and chicanery with the added bonus of more British accents. It's okay though, because Alexander loves BBC America.

Xbox 360 Fancast 084 -- Fanboys Tell 'em
What would any given week be like without a new episode of the Xbox 360 Fancast. Peaceful? Prosaic? World-rending? We don't know and, frankly, we don't want to find out. Actually, come to think of it, we've missed a week before. For the life of us, we can't remember what happened as a result that week. Is that what missing a week causes: amnesia? Whatever it is, you'd better play it safe and listen to the latest episode.[iTunes] Subscribe to the Podcast directly in iTunes (MP3).[Zune] Subscribe to the Podcast directly in Zune Marketplace (MP3).[RSS MP3] Add the Xbox 360 Fanboy Podcast feed (in MP3) to your RSS aggregator and have the show delivered automatically.[AAC] Download the enhanced AAC directly.[MP3] Download the MP3 directly.Hosts: Richard Mitchell (SenseiRAM), Dustin Burg (SuperDunners), Alexander Sliwinski (Sli Xander), Xav de Matos (Snypz)Produced by Richard MitchellMusic: Intro/Outro: "Electromooq" by Uma Floresta.

Xbox 360 Fancast 083 -- Totally Boned
var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/podcasts/Xbox_360_Fanboy_2'; Despite our own best judgment and several threats, we have published yet another episode of the Xbox 360 Fancast. This week we discuss all the latest and greatest on the Xbox 360 and also wander far far off topic. Don't worry though because it's hilarious. At least we thought it was at the time. We also take on serious topics like the changing face of gaming journalism and ... um ... VelocityGirl.

var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/podcasts/Xbox_360_Fanboy_2'; The Xbox 360 Fancast is (more or less) back to normal this week. The gang is (mostly) recovered after both PAX and too many late nights with Castle Crashers. This week, we chat about all the fun that Xav and Dustin had at PAX as well as covering the week's biggest Xbox 360 news. Finally, we come up with a word for games that are un-delayed.Special thanks to Venom Shot, keep on chug-chug-chuggin' along!Thanks to Richard Elliot for the image.[iTunes] Subscribe to the Podcast directly in iTunes (MP3).[Zune] Subscribe to the Podcast directly in Zune Marketplace (MP3).[RSS MP3] Add the Xbox 360 Fanboy Podcast feed (in MP3) to your RSS aggregator and have the show delivered automatically.[AAC] Download the enhanced AAC directly.[MP3] Download the MP3 directly.Hosts: Richard Mitchell (SenseiRAM), Dustin Burg (SuperDunners), Alexander Sliwinski (Sli Xander), Xav de Matos (Snypz)Produced by Richard MitchellMusic: Intro/Outro: "Electromooq" by Uma Floresta.

Xbox 360 Fancast Special -- PAX 2008
var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/podcasts/Xbox_360_Fanboy_2'; Well we have good news and bad news. The good news is we recorded an awesome X3F Fancast live in Seattle during PAX 2008! The bad news is, due to cellphone interference with the equipment, the audio came out pretty bad. So, instead of releasing nothing we thought we'd at least put it up for anyone brave enough to hear our impressions from the show. Xav and Dustin are joined by Joystiq's Kevin Kelly and PS3Fanboy's Jem Alexander (don't worry, we rag on him for his Sony love).

Xbox 360 Fancast 081 -- Pacifism is a Strange Word
This week on the Xbox 360 Fancast we have a very special guest, none other than Matthew McCarthy, the writer of "Geometry Wars Will Be the Death of Me." You may recognize him better as "that dude that wrote the Geometry Wars song." We probe Matt's mind and discover what inspired the song and we even play the new full band version of his song. Of course we also have our usual news and even an X08 report from Xav. Give the show a listen and enjoy.Also, don't forget to check out the X3F Fancast Defense Force Podcast, made by some of our most stalwart fans.Thanks to Stuart Harper for the image![iTunes] Subscribe to the Podcast directly in iTunes (MP3).[Zune] Subscribe to the Podcast directly in Zune Marketplace (MP3).[RSS MP3] Add the Xbox 360 Fanboy Podcast feed (in MP3) to your RSS aggregator and have the show delivered automatically.[AAC] Download the enhanced AAC directly.[MP3] Download the MP3 directly.Hosts: Richard Mitchell (SenseiRAM), Dustin Burg (SuperDunners), Alexander Sliwinski (Sli Xander), Xav de Matos (Snypz)Special Guest: Matthew McCarthyProduced by Richard MitchellMusic: Intro/Outro: "Electromooq" by Uma Floresta.

Xbox 360 Fancast 080 -- Football!
Episode 080. Wow. What can we say? It seems appropriate that this show drops the week after Madden 09. The more things change, the more they stay the same, so they say. As such, we bring you this fresh Fancast that is much the same as it ever was. We've got news, Fanmail, Fantalk and everything you've come to expect from us. And, thanks to Madden 09, we've got a heavy dose of footbaaaaalllll!

Xbox 360 Fancast 079 -- Ah, Euphemisms
We are, perhaps, belaboring the point now, but we really like Braid. Some of us like it more than others -- maybe even to an unhealthy degree -- but we all agree that it's a pretty wonderful game. But it wouldn't be a Fancast if all we did was gush about Braid (at least that what everyone told me when I wouldn't shut up about it), so we cover the usual gamut of Xbox 360 news and welcome back our long lost "Best Comment of the Week" feature.

var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/podcasts/Xbox_360_Fanboy_2'; Welcome to episode 078 of the Xbox 360 Fancast. This week, we proudly welcome Xav back into the fold. He was apparently receiving threats for not being on the show. We care for his safety, so we decided he should probably come back.

Xbox 360 Fancast 077 -- Feudin'
Now that E3 is long gone and we've had a week off to rest, the Fancast is back in full force. Okay, so it's almost back in full force. Unfortunately, Xav couldn't make it for this episode. That's okay, because he probably would have been totally jealous of the rest of the crew talking about all the awesome stuff they did at E3 anyway. That is what we do, by the way. This episode is a wrap-up of our E3 coverage. We talk about the games we played, the events we witnessed and we all pick our personal favorite games of the show.Oh, and Dustin also picks a fight with Justin McElroy of the Joystiq podcast.

No Fancast this week
Hey fanboys, after the incredibly hectic week that was E3, we've decided to take a break from the Fancast this week. We won't be canceling an announcement or anything, and this is definitely not a hoax. It's the real deal. No Fancast. Sorry. We're all exhausted from E3 and truth be told, our fearless leader (hey, that's me!) is on vacation. We'll be back next week with episode 077 and our wrap-up of E3 (and any other OMG megatons that happen to drop between now and then). See you soon.
Xbox 360 Fancast E3 08 Special: Day 2
Wow. We're really still doing these. Ahem. It's late, once again, but it's still E3 and that means you get another special edition of the Xbox 360 Fancast. Today we talk about our impressions of the XBLA offerings at E3 (Castle Crashers!), Halo Wars, Silent Hill Homecoming, and much much more. Oh, and yes, we're still super tired and super loopy.

Xbox 360 Fancast E3 08 Special: Day 0
Here it is fanboys. E3 hasn't even officially started yet, and already we're running ourselves ragged and staying up into the wee hours of the morning (it's just after 4:00 in the morning in Los Angeles as of this posting ... eesh). Here is the first of our E3 Special Fancasts. We'll be dropping a new one every day during E3 this week, so keep your eyes open for Day 1 tomorrow. We won't be offering these as enhanced podcasts, by the way, as we're putting them together as quickly as possible for everyone. Enjoy today's Day 0 episode, as Dustin, Alexander and Richard (that's me!) discuss the Microsoft E3 Press Briefing.
