I love these podcasts, downloading it right now!

You wrote "directly" wrong for the Zune part. :D

Anyways, I'm gonna start listening to these fancasts now. I haven't ever listened to one.

No, I wrote "irectly" right!

:)

Richard, if you do not find a way to update the Zune Album art I will sneak into your house and assault you with my advanced mp3 player.

Zen,

If it was something easy for me to change, I would. Unfortunately, it's something that's not in our direct control. Try subscribing to this feed instead. If it works, we may try to switch over to this feed permanently:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/xbox360fancast

It's more of a running gag now (especially after the community night) but I'll see if this works and report back to you.

The two Zune users that listen to you guys being myself and Zombienutz been looking for this a long time.

*bows at Richards feet*

You have fixed that which would never be fixed my Zune and I thank you kind sir.

You shall no longer be assaulted by my superior mp3 player.

Love, ZenGaijin

Richard, thank you so much. My Zune thanks you aswell.

Teh w00t! One reason to look forward to Monday! B&J FTW!

wow, that photo is too damn hot

Is Xav not here for this one again?

No I couldn't make it to Episode 69.

And I had so many jokes!

lol

ha ha, using my terms for the UFC fighting execution for gow 2

I'm going to be listening to this while I'm shooting you guys in the face and hitting you with cars at highspeeds.

Its on tonight in GTAIV

I didn't enjoy the GTA IV ending talk really, had to pull the headphones off. Some people are still enjoying the game. Anyway, no hate just love. Thanks for the podcast.

they dont say aanything about it at all, just that it basically wasnt what Alexander thought it would be like.

:/ Gotta charge my MP3 player first, then ill pop this badboy in to hear it.

Alsooooo, Friends list is full on X3fLive, I've been tryin to get in for about a day

NM, Just read the Second Update :)

Yeah Richard, you need to change that horrible album art. Atleast scale it into a square.

OMG! Xav looks so much more different then what I expected...and in a GOOD way too!

I'm terrified right now.

Unless you're a hot chick.

Be happy you have no deformities.

Strawberry daiquiri? You're a manly man, aren't you...

Lol.

Blizzard gets things done?

StarCraft 2... nuff said?

Dustin says lips 34 times :)

Can't remember who it was that was having the heliocopter achievement problem (think it was Alexander) but I noticed when I was doing it, and looked at the map, there were sometimes little trophy symbols on the bridges I hadn't flown under. I say "sometimes" because other times I'd look at the map and they weren't there. I think maybe they pop up when you fly under a bridge but if you've only got one left that may be a problem.

In addition, there are 3 bridges from east to west very close together in the south west part of the map (Alderney I think) and they were a little tricky to get. I want to say that at least one of them isn't even over water, it's more like an overpass, but I could be wrong about that.

Whoops. Echoplex was last week. Correct song attributed.

Dude, The bridge song is not Echoplex.

On the same subject.

The bridge you missed in GTA is probably in southern Alderney near the oil refinery. Where you can fly underneath four bridges in a row, where two of bridges are very, very low to the ground.

Problem I had was with the one furtherest (can't believe this is actually a word) to the west. I flew underneath it, nothing happened. Then I realized the bridge had multiple sections and You must fly under the section just a little further to the south to obtain the achievement.

Let me know if this helps.

Also there are actually two bridges connecting Algonquin to Bohan far north one after another. I think one of them is the train track. Make sure you've flown under both.

Alexander's "snarkiness" has really worn on me the past several months. He whines about EVERYTHING!

Also, Dennis is the reason I'm buying Too Human. He sold me on it.

Great show guys!

And Mansbridge, Newman, and Llyod Robertson are Canadian new anchors. Just to clarify.

About Alexander comparison of SK and Blizzard lets not forget Blizzard announced not once, but twice Starcraft Ghost. Now a couple of years later the game development has stopped, but they still kinda sorta have the game as an option.

Kegel trigger FTW!! LMAO!

Dear Dustin,
64/4 does not equal 8/1.

To the X3F guys:

I just thought I share some information about million selling games, since you guys were discussing it in the podcast.

Xbox 360 Million Sellers (41)

PS3 Million Sellers (14)
http://vgchartz.com/worldtotals.php?name=&console=PS3&publisher=&sort=Total

So I guess it's 2.92:1 not quite 16:2 (lol)

Still excellent though
