Xbox 360 Fancast 066 -- 600 Shy of Evil

Can it be mere coincidence that our 66th podcast is releasing on the same day as the midnight launch of Grand Theft Auto IV? Perhaps you don't see the connection. Just look. Episode 066. That's only 600 short of 666. We'd say that's pretty much proof positive that GTAIV is the Devil (along with the foosball, of course). Anywho, this week's show is jam packed with news and fanmail, and we spend a healthy amount of time discussing GTAIV's impending arrival. Hopefully it will make your wait in line during the midnight launch a little easier.

Been waiting all day for this one. Maybe it'll whet my appetite for GTA for a while....a little while

foosball? You mean football right?

It is a reference to the Movie "The Waterboy", staring Adam Sandler

w00t! I never got an answer back from Alexander regarding the pic of my balls. Did I win the contest?

@Zav
Dude, I'm sure you know you can sell your 20GB hard drive for at least $50 (US) on eBay. But, you can sell that stupid data transfer cable for at least $30 on eBay. Sold both when I got my 120GB. Helps balance out the ridiculously high price.

Updated Zune Album art?

hehe...ive got a title for Guitar Hero 4.....it should be "Guitar Hero 4: Battle of the Legendary Rock Bands*over at Harmonix that suck(and we are super inovative)*"

Nice huh?

Yo, Richard. If you need help with the Haloez Legendary, hit me up. Gamertag, Jayslacks.

OMG you noticed the frontlines ads? JESUS those were the worst X3F days just cuz of that. Were they taken down cuz of how bad they were?

lets see.

Guitar Hero 4: Your still buying this shit?
guitar hero 4: stop laughing at us
guitar hero 4: all the way to the bank
guitar hero 4: lord i apologize
guitar hero 4: even IM depressed
guitar hero 4: [undecipherable snicker]
guitar hero 4: catching up
guitar hero 4: better than "THAT OTHER" game
guitar hero 4: just like the other 3
guitar hero 4: purple monkey dishwasher
guitar hero 4: i can has recon?
guitar hero 4: now with more zink and guarna
guitar hero 4: euthanasia PLEASE!

I'm still working my way through episode 63. :(

I lost the headset for my phone so now I can't listen to music/podcasts at work. :(

i am from the GTA (Greater Toronto Area).....it does exist.

yaaaaaaaaaaa. GO MISSISSAUGA!!!!!!!!

Good Show

My ideas for GH4 title:

Guitar Hero 4: Seriously this isn't our version of the Six Axis......

Guitar Hero 4: Now with Drums and Vocals and even more non exisitent notes and lyrics!

Guitar Hero 4: Please love this game and buy it even though Rock Band did these instrument first....and made the diffculty reasonable.

Guitar Hero 4: We had these instruments in development longer........the needed proof was eaten by a crazed dev.

No NDA's? I thought you guys had PartnerNet accounts?

I got bored after the fancast so
here are some names for guitar hero 4
gh4: the search for more money
gh4:we still have enough money to make another
gh4:if we cared about the fans we wouldn't do this
gh4:the people in marketing say it will sell
gh4:it's something to do besides GTA4
gh4:Arby's it's delicious
gh4:blood in the sand
gh4:finish the fight
gh4:the liandri conflict
gh4:bananas in pajamas?
gh4:this one doesn't have slash so don't buy it!

finally finished this one! i'm all caught up now and should be up to date for the rest of the summer! :D

Instead of going to Guitar Hero 4, which sounds like you are milking the franchise progress to "Guitar Band: Suck it Harmonix"

Sweet! You answered my question. I was the "big and long one"... :P.

If you need help with Legendary, Rich, you can invite me. I'll be happy to play. My gamertag is CouchPotato99.

Guitar Hero 4: We Never Loved You, Harmonix
Guitar Hero 4: We'll Still Think of Some Way to Sue Haronix for this
Guitar Hero 4: Now You Can Pretend this Game is fun like Rock Band!

I'll still call you floggers, anyways...
