Xbox 360 Fancast 139 -- Back in Time
After losing the first half of the show to a tragic recording accident, and then delaying the show so you could find out about your Twitters and Facebooks and whatnot, the Xbox 360 Fancast is finally here. This week we rant on the upcoming Dashboard update, Project Natal's price and learn about Canada's rich cultural heritage. Also, behold our new podcast art, brought to you by Chris Majewski.

The ol' Fancast keeps on truckin' this week, with intrepid hosts Alexander, Xav and Richard pressing on through some nigh indomitable audio issues.

Xbox 360 Fancast 137 -- Two Tix to Tokyo
With Richard and Xav both returning from far off lands, this episode spirals into an out-of-control frenzy of giggles and inappropriate behavior. Basically, it's the same thing you've come to love and expect. This week we hear all about the Tokyo Game Show, video game violence and who does and does not deserve to get punched.

Xbox 360 Fancast 136 -- The End of an Era
This is it. This is the show, kids. It's the very last episode of the Xbox 360 Fancast with Dustin Burg. We figured the most appropriate way to commemorate the occasion would be spending the entire episode talking about Halo 3: ODST, so that's exactly what we did. We also read from the gigantic pile of farewell letters that Dustin received. Give it a listen, and then give our departing host a moment of silence.Big thanks to Chris Majewski (AKA Magic Whiskey) for the farewell art above. Oh, we're also sure that you're wondering how we plan to deal with the problem of Dustin still being in our regular podcast art. Well, we've got it covered, thanks to reader Kcasey.

Xbox 360 Fancast 135 -- Earth: Shattered
This show is a doozy, folks. Not only do we go through the normal motions -- news, games, fanmail, etc -- but we do it all while having fun with our new soundboard. And, before all is said and done, we cap the show off with an announcement that will change the show forever. We don't want to oversell it, but this might be the single most important document ever recorded. You should probably download a copy right now.

Xbox 360 Fancast 134 -- Roosters Don't Have Teeth Redux
It's been a long time since we chatted with the folk at Rooster Teeth (almost 100 episodes!). With Red vs Blue still going strong and a new Halo 3: ODST ad campaign underway, we figured it was time to go at it again. We also talk about Sonic and the fools that keep crawling back to him, only to watch him speed away and laugh. Download it, and always remember: Camping is a legitimate strategy.

Even with Richard and Dustin heading off to PAX, the X3F train rolls on. Alexander and Xav tackle a pile of Fanmail and bring special guest Jake Reardon (Xbox Canada's Community Manager) along for the journey.

Xbox 360 Fancast 132 -- Flexibility
We've got an interesting show this week. We spend quite a bit of time talking about the Elite price cut as well as the "flexibility" offered by not including HDMI or component cables in the new bundle. We also grill Alexander about GamesCom and his recent trip to Germany. Of course, there's all the other usual malarkey and hullabaloo as well. Enjoy.

Xbox 360 Fancast 131 -- The Pursuit of Chairness
So, Shadow Complex came out last week. In case you haven't heard, we kind of liked it. So, we thought it would be a good opportunity to wrangle some time with Donald Mustard, creative director of Chair Entertainment, the studio behind Shadow Complex.

Xbox 360 Fancast 130 -- An Absolute Steal
We talk about a lot of things on this episode of the Fancast. We talk about Steven Spielberg, Halo and some other mishegoss. The really important thing is that we talk about this week's XBLA release, Shadow Complex. We've all had our hands on the game for a while now and, as it turns out, it's pretty good. Of course, if you read Joystiq, you already know that. But why settle for reading a review of the game when you can hear us talk about it? Yeah, case closed.

Xbox 360 Fancast 129 -- Boing Boing Ratta Tatta
We got an email not to long ago claiming that it was impossible to get all four hosts of the Fancast nowadays. Given the fact that we are once again short one member (Xav) this week, we're starting to agree. Whether it's some sort of curse that has been placed upon us or simple bad timing, who's to say?Apart from our missing cohort, we discuss a bevy of interesting topics this week, including the possible phasing out of the 360 Pro console and a surefire way to make Alexander hate you during a match of Battlefield 1943. All this an more lies before you in this, the 129th episode of the Xbox 360 Fancast.

Xbox 360 Fancast 128 -- Who Moved Christmas?

Xbox 360 Fancast 127 -- Not Mad, Just Disappointed
This week on the Xbox 360 Fancast, we've got lots of Halo news. We also have Gears of War news. We honestly couldn't help it.

Xbox 360 Fancast 125 -- Domo Arigato
We're going to be as frank as possible here: This episode was fraught with technical issues. For the most part, they will be undetectable to the listener, for they have been deftly edited out. One ... interesting issue, however, remains. Richard (that's me) comes out sounding like a cyborg. Other than that, it's just a typically awesome episode of the Xbox 360 Fancast. Enjoy.Also, we're on the lookout for listener music submissions. To submit a song you'd like to hear, head over to music.mevio.com (or any service that offers music for podcasts), find some music you like, and send a link to fancast [att] joystiq [dawt] com.

Xbox 360 Fancast 123 -- Rebound
We know, we know, it's been a while. And, for that, we're sorry. Between E3 recovery, vacations and crippling sickness, we just haven't had a Fancast out for a while. Fret no more, for the show is finally back and better than ever. Well, okay, not better than ever.

PSA: No Xbox 360 Fancast this week
You read that right, there will be no Fancast this week. Suffice it to say that one of us is still adjusting to life after a vacation (me), while another one of us is recovering from a nasty bout with food poisoning (Xav). Strangely enough, it had absolutely nothing to do with Marmite, either. We promise we'll be back next week with a fresh episode for you all to enjoy. Until then, why not watch this again?
