    var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/podcasts/Xbox_360_Fanboy_2'; It's Fancast time! This week the gang talks about Call of Duty 4 versus Halo 3 shenanigans, Crysis shenanigans, and Too Human shenanigans. Really, as Fancasts go, this one is positively full of shenanigans. We also take time to discuss XBLA news and the latest trailer for Viking. We've also got plenty of Fanmail about missing 360s, Falcon replacements, downloadable games, and what movies would make good games. Don't forget we've got our enhanced Fancast on offer too, but unfortunately, you'll still have to download it manually. With any luck, we'll have a separate RSS feed for our enhanced podcast soon.[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.

As such, the Fancast is arriving a little later than we would have liked. Rest assured though, we had good reason. What reason could that be, you ask? Why, so we could bring you a brand new enhanced podcast, that's why! Now, before you whoop, holler, and jump for joy, you should know that said enhanced podcast has not yet been set up with its own RSS feed just yet. After all, we wouldn't want our subscribers with unsupported hardware to be left out in the cold. As such, it's only available as a direct download this week. We're doing our best to get a new feed set up, but it could be a while. Still, however you choose to listen, make sure you do, because this week's show is a doozy.

Frankly, we're getting a little misty-eyed, but we'll do our best to retain our composure. This week we talk about Rock Band's tremendous success (as a DLC machine), Microsoft's legal troubles, and Gears of War man-dolls. We also totally geek out over Bionic Commando Rearmed (except for Dustin). Download below. No, seriously, download it. Now. Oh, we also discuss enhanced podcasts during the show, more or less dismissing the idea. Having done a little research, we're going to look into it. Seems like a good way to start off year number 2, no?[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.[MP3] Download the MP3 directly.

    After last week's monster episode, it feels a little strange returning to the simple shows of yore. And yet, it is also a welcome change, as putting together episode 50 is a task we are not eager to repeat. So, this week you get your standard show, complete with commentary on the latest and greatest360 news. We've also got the triumphant return of Fantalk, in which we discuss the impact of downloadable games on the future of our beloved industry. Oh, and Yoda pops in to say hello as well.

    Well folks, this is it. Our 50th effing episode. Two days of editing, little to no bathing, and less than optimal exposure to sunlight has left us a little stir-crazy, so we hope you enjoy it.

The whole gang is back again for this wondrous occasion, so hurry up. Download and enjoy. We've also added some photos we refer to during the show, check 'em out after the break.Thanks for supporting us through 50 episodes fanboys.

    Just when we thought it was safe to record the Fancast again, the dreaded internet mongoose reared its ugly head once more. We had some recording issues this week thanks to the aftermath of the vicious winter storm that zapped the US last week. Still, a Fancast is expected and a Fancast we will provide in rain, sleet, or snow. This week, we discuss the success of Assassin's Creed, new Tomb Raider details, and delve into the ever vociferous high definition format war. Also, we should point out that we have a shiny new Zune link that will allow you to download the Fancast straight from the Zune Marketplace. Click. Listen.

    var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/podcasts/Xbox_360_Fanboy_2'; Well, fanboys and girls, it was an exciting evening yesterday. Yesterday was not unlike a video game in many ways. We tested our platforming skills as we dodged the many ice-laden tree branches tumbling from the sky, and we also solved the puzzles of clearing said branches from the driveway, discovering where we could locate electricity, and untangling the the great stricture placed upon our intertubes. After a vicious battle with the icy tendrils of nature, we emerged victorious, as precious internet access was restored to our neck of the woods. Good thing too, because we've got a Fancast to deliver. This week we discuss the new GTAIV trailer, demo madness, and the hosing of Canadians and Xbox Live Silver members. We also chat about an interesting solution to COD4's "p" problem, poorly-reviewed games (and the buying of them), Achievement shame, and whether or not the FPS genre is getting stale. Oh, and we also have an announcement to make, but you'll have to listen to find out (or read the inevitable comments that will follow).

    So, this is where we make "over the hill" jokes. Yes, break out the black balloons, it's episode 40 of the Xbox 360 Fancast. Appropriately enough, it's only a few days shy of Halloween. Middle-aged jokes aside, we've got quite a special treat for our fans out there. Of course, we have the usual poignant, witty repartee you've come to expect, but we've also got a special guest: Michael "Burnie" Burns from Rooster Teeth Productions, the daring crazy-folk behind Red. Vs. Blue. As usual, we chat about the latest goings on in Xbox, but we also get an exclusive opportunity to talk with Burnie about Recovery One, their final Halo 2 project. Not only that, but we talk about Rooster Teeth's plans for Halo 3.

    It's getting close. Can you smell it? Episode 40. It goes down next week. But before we get there, we've got to lay down Episode 39. This week, we talk about Microsoft's success in September (and their indebtedness to Halo 3), Bionic Commando, Street Fighter IV, and whether or not Mass Effect will deliver (hint: it will). We also congratulate our own David Dreger on completing a 681 day streak of earning at least one achievement every day. If you count down those days, you will discover that he's been doing it since launch day. Yeah, he's nuts, but he's good nuts, you know?

    Can you believe it? 35 magical episodes of the Xbox 360 Fancast. We'll save the schmaltzy flashbacks for another time though, because this week it's serious business. Oh yes, tonight is the launch of Halo 3 and it's episode 35. You can bet your booties we have a special guest, and... um ... we do, so hand over your booties if you didn't believe us. To celebrate the magnificent arrival of Halo 3, we invited a very special guest, Geoff Ramsey from Rooster Teeth Productions. Best known as Griff from the Halo machinema series Red Vs. Blue, Geoff helps us discuss the merits of achievement boosting, what's happening at Rooster Teeth, and, of course, Halo 3. Together, we create a Fancast the likes of which the universe has never seen. Let us hope that the bounds of our natural laws can contain it.
