Xbox 360 Fancast 110 -- Fanmail Special
We've been bad. We know it. It's been a long time since we've had a proper look at fanmail. With GDC going on last week, and very few Xbox announcements emerging from it, we decided this would be a great time to crack open the old mailbag. Yes, we're dedicating the entire show to fanmail this week, so grab a seat and have a listen. Also, for all of you that have finished up Resident Evil 5, stick around after the outtakes for a new edition of Spoiler Warning, in which we'll discuss our overall thoughts on the game.[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), Xav de Matos (Snypz)Produced by Richard MitchellMusic: Intro/Outro: "Electromooq" by Uma Floresta.

Xbox 360 Fancast 108 -- Overclocked
This week on the Xbox 360 Fancast, we have yet more internet troubles, more news than you can shake a reasonably sized stick at and an interview with David Lloyd and Larry Oji of OverClocked Remix. You may recognize OCRemix as the group behind the soundtrack for Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. If you don't recognize them for that, you really should because the soundtrack is awesome.

Xbox 360 Fancast 107 - Sad Robot
So, a few lessons learned this week. One, it's not the best idea to record the show on Sunday morning. Two, it's even worse to record the show on the Sunday morning following Daylight Savings. Three, Xav needs a new ISP. Beyond that, as usual, we learn nothing at all. It is our wish that this program does as little to edify you as it does for us.

Xbox 360 Fancast 106 -- Naughty Words
The Xbox 360 Fancast shambles on this week. Sadly, as there is no Xav on the show, we are forced to ramble on without any angry tirades. It's sad, we know. Still, you can hear us gab on and on about Capcom, Mass Effect 2 and other things too! Oh, and we do our best not to use any naughty words. Our best, as it turns out, isn't very good.[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 105 -- Mythic proportions
It's only been two weeks since our Halo Wars show, and here we are again talking about Halo. This week, we give our final verdict on Halo Wars. As if that weren't enough, we also talk about our hands-on experience with the Mythic Map Pack for Halo 3. Truly, it's a Halo-tastic show. We also take a look at some fanmail and finally have a new edition of Spoiler Warning, this time discussing Fallout 3.

Xbox 360 Fancast 104 -- Who Watches the Fancasters?
The unstoppable Xbox 360 Fancast is back yet again with another new episode. This week, we talk about Halo Wars Mega Bloks, L4D DLC and Guitar Hero: Again ... erm Greatest Hits. We also add a new dimension to Xav and Dustin's Lost and Damned Marmite bet. Oh, and Xav nearly bursts a blood vessel while fuming about the state of Sonic the Hedgehog. We even invite fellow Joystiqer Andrew Yoon onto the show. This is can't-miss podcasting folks.

Xbox 360 Fancast 103: Wars (of the Halo variety)
It's been hard. It's been painful. It's been really difficult, but we can finally talk about Halo Wars. We've been playing the full review code for some time, you see. We kept our lips sealed before, but now it's time to talk. That's pretty much the highlight this week. Oh sure, we talk about the news and read some fanmail, but we know why you're really listening. It's okay. We like it.

Sad face: Fancast 103 delayed
We're sorry to tell you folks, but this week's Fancast has been delayed. Yours truly was hit by a whirlwind of sickness, you see, so rolling out of bed (much less editing a podcast) has become a nigh impossible task. Things are looking up now, though, so expect a finished episode on the morrow. It should be worth the wait, because we talk about a little game called Halo Wars. No, not the demo. The whole thing. We've been playing it for quite some time now, and we're dying to share. Stay tuned.
Xbox 360 Fancast 102 -- The Lost Episode
X3F (that's the Xbox 360 Fancast) is back once again with a brand new episode. Before we get into the festivities, an announcement: The iTunes feed is up and running once again (which wasn't the case when we recorded). We're not sure about the Zune feed, so we'll leave it to the Zune users out there to tell us if it's working or not. This week we've got news, fanmail and an all new fantalk. We also bid a fond farewell to Ensemble Studios, which has now closed its doors for good. Download it and listen. Oh, and don't forget you can now stream the latest episode by clicking the play button in the Fancast module on the right side of the page.

Xbox 360 Fancast 101: Brave New World [update 2]
Update again: We think the RSS MP3 link below should work now. Chances are you will only see this episode, but it should work properly. Again, we'll update you on any further changes. This is it, kids, the first episode of the Xbox 360 Fancast under the Joystiq Xbox banner. In this week's episode, we do our best to explain exactly what's changing and what isn't. For the most part, Things will be exactly the same around here, only with even more timely news and a much nicer design. The Fancast, however, will remain exactly the same. Give it a listen and be sure to give us your feedback!Unfortunately, the changeover to Joystiq Xbox has borked our iTunes feed and probably our Zune feed as well. We're working on fixes for both issues, but for now you can either download the MP3 directly or manually subscribe to the RSS MP3 link below.[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 100 -- Extravabration! [Update 3]
Update the final: All versions of the Fancast are now working properly. This is it, folks! The 100th episode of the Xbox 360 Fancast. This bad boy clocks in at just over two hours and it's positively crammed with goodness. We reminisce about the good times, Xav chews out an Alexander hater, we talk to Major Nelson and we eat Marmite. That's right, and we've got pictures to prove it. You can see them in the gallery below, but you might want to wait until after the show to check 'em out if you don't want any spoilers. The show is also filled with congratulatory sound clips sent in by you, something for which we are extremely grateful.In fact, now is probably as good a time as any to send out a big Thank You to all of our listeners. Without you, there would be no Fancast. So, thank you for listening and we hope you enjoy episode 100.%Gallery-42672%[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)Guest: Larry Hryb (Major Nelson)Thanks to Richard Elliot for the image and Gloqwi for the episode title.Produced by Richard MitchellMusic: Intro/Outro: "Electromooq" by Uma Floresta.For fans: Xbox 360 Fancast Facebook group
Xbox 360 Fancast 099 -- Mmm ... Marmite
This is it, the last episode before we hit the mighty number 100. Barring some horrible catastrophe on a galactic scale, we'll probably make it. This week, we discuss all the latest news, one hilarious Sony email and plenty more. We also spend a healthy (?) chunk of time discussing 1-2 flush toilets and Marmite. Don't ask us why, but Marmite has probably incited more emails that anything we've ever discussed on the show. Go figure.

Xbox 360 Fancast 097 -- FOTY Edition
This is it, folks. This is the last Xbox 360 Fancast of 2008. The next time you listen to a new show, it will be the future. Being that this is the last show of the year, we're discussing our picks for the best and worst of 2008 (our official picks are up on X3F proper now as well).

Xbox 360 Fancast 95 -- The one with Ross (not Bob)
With Alexander gone for the second week in a row, we figured it was time to roll out the big guns. We're talking, of course, about Ross Miller, Joystiq blogger and Gordon Freeman doppelganger extraordinaire (no, not Bob Ross). He joins us for the entire program and gives us his invaluable (?) input. As usual, we cover the week's news and read some fabulous fanmail. As a special bonus this week, we even got an email from Alexander all the way from Germany.

Xbox 360 Fancast 094 -- Nein Xander
Let's get one thing straight: We miss Alexander. He's off in some foreign land enjoying exotic foods and strange power outlets. Meanwhile, the rest of us are just sitting around like total schlubs. Then again, we did get to play the Resident Evil 5 demo, so that's good. We also got to record a Fancast, which we now present to you (commercial free!). They say hindsight is 20-20, and we're just now realizing we wasted a golden opportunity to talk behind his back during the show. Shucks.

Sorry kids, no Fancast this week
You've no doubt absorbed the gist of this story from the headline above, but suffice it to say that there will not be a new episode of the Xbox 360 Fancast this week. The reason for this -- flimsy though we're sure many will claim it to be -- is that we were busy enjoying the Thanksgiving holiday during our normal recording time. On top of this, Alexander is in a whole other country. As far as we know, this country he is visiting, this "Germany," has no internets of its own. Meanwhile, Xav (who celebrated Canada's Bizarro-Thanksgiving last month) has been crushed under a pile of textbooks, the victim of an unfortunate studying accident. Don't worry though, we'll pull it together for next week.Who knows, maybe we'll even pull together a Left 4 Dead X3F Live event as an apology to everyone.
Xbox 360 Fancast 093 -- Fanboys 4 Dead
This week's episode is absolutely gimongous, folks. You can blame the extra girth (mostly) on our new feature that we're calling Spoiler Warning. Spoiler Warning takes place after the outro and the outtakes of the show and we use it to discuss parts of games that some might not have finished. This week, we talk about the story in Gears of War 2 and where it might (but hopefully won't) go from here. Of course, we also talk about the normal weekly news and whatnot. We also manage to make Dustin leave halfway through the show.

Xbox 360 Fancast 092 -- Total Immersion
You might call this show sort of discombobulated. Xav is missing for the first half of the show, only to be found just in time for the second half. We're all a bit sleepy too. But hey, we're all still the same happy-go-lucky, affable people you know and love. Anywho, we're marching ever onwards to episode 100, so this episode is really a part of history.

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 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.
