Xbox 360 Fancast 064 -- A New Realm of Therapy

The Xbox 360 Fancast returns this week with the latest on all things Xbox 360. In our latest episode, we discuss Bad Company's change of heart, Gears of War 2 details, European Rock Band price woes, and Dustin's romp through the Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack. We also take on the topic of whether or not Xbox Live is worth withstanding the worst language society can muster and Call of Duty 4's dreaded noob tube. Download and feel the joy.

W00t! Thanks!

Wow... that podcast was emotional. You got it all, joy, anger, lust(Dustin's outtakes, truly disturbing).

very, very disturbing

Oh man! Are you guys gonna use my email tonight? Geez, don't tease me, guys! Don't tease me..

I can't express my excitement for the noob-tube discussion enough.

Love the show!

Any closer to getting that Album art correct on the Zune?

You and I buddy against all the iPods.

We can take em.

I would like that correct album art for this podcast as I greatly enjoy it.

Joystiq is messed up too, must be Weblogs thing...

I like it aswell...
Yeah, I noticed that Joystiq's is messed up too.

Yay! My boredom will now be gone! Thanks!

Where's Terrence?

The noob tube is a GREAT weapon. Use it frequently and often! It only serves to piss people off and it's great fun. I use when i am working on the red dot for each gun as i am prestige'n up. I liked your comment about playing the way the developers made it, my thoughts exactly!

A new Monday night tradition to make up for the absence of Heroes. Thank you guys.

Ah. A shout-out on the fancast. My life is complete.

Richard, which gametype do you usually play in COD4? I've been trying to get into it recently, but haven't had any luck. I've been mostly playing slayer, so maybe that's why. Eh, eh.

You forgot the "enclosure" tag on the RSS feed...

Aw crap. Added. Should be up soon.

Where is the iTunes feed?

still no terrence with Xav? We want to hear him talk to himself!

iTunes feed not up.

Best podcast conclusion.evar.

NOOB TUBE!

Did you guys ever cover who is actually getting the legendary map pack (outside of Dustin, of course)?

I'm getting them legendary bitches right now.

Good times, guys. I haven't laughed like that in awhile. Dustin's "this is turning into couple's therapy" during the cheevo's discussion between Xav and Alexander was excellent timing. Alexander is right ... Xav freebases the cheevo's playing horrible games while Alexander's choice of GTA4 on 360 over PS3 for its achievements is an objective preference. Playing GTA4 on 360 over PS3 for achievements isn't quite the same as playing TMNT, King Kong or whatever drivel it is our poor Canuck is playing these days to boost his score.

re: RB pricing

See HMX's more detailed explanation about the pricing and why the game is sold separately here

Makes a good amount of sense.

Wow you guys kinda punted that Xbox live gold question. The foul language isn't really that bad. Yes, there are a lot of kids who play games, but for the most part they are not that bad in terms of cursing. You can also setup voice chat to only work for friends only. So you never have to hear an idiot you don't know.

I just started using the noob tube after I watched the video. It upped my kill ratio. Thanks Xav!
