Xbox 360 Fancast 070 -- Posi-Bong

Reaching episode 070 of the Xbox 360 Fancast is kind of like reaching your birthday after 25. Sure, there is a perfunctory, soulless celebration, but the truth is that the presents are dwindling, and the ones you do get are probably clothes anyway. There was a time when we used to truly celebrate every tenth episode of the Fancast. This was mainly because each milestone seemed less likely than the last. Nowadays, however, another ten episodes seems inevitable, rote, ordinary. C'est lå vie, non?

Oh, Xav is back. That's worth celebrating, right?

In order from left to right maybe?

Why does the one character look 40+ years old?

In order from left to right:
Richard, Dustin, Xav, Alexander, Terrence

Also, some of the information about delisting titles wasn't available when this show was recorded and has since been clarified.

Enjoy the show!

Alexander is balding?

Erm, bald.

Someone is in serious need of the "Hair Club For Men"!!

So are both Terrence and Xav on this podcast or can we still keep the Terrence = Xav conspiracy going?

search for alexander sliwinski gaygamer.net and a picture with the real him is there.

why is it that the only one i can find is on that website?

alexander is gay? Wow, i didnt know that one! Not that there is anything wrong with that. My lil brother is also gay.

Gamers are gamers, no matter their sexual preference! More power to ya Alex!

no, his picture just happens to be on that website.

Here's the picture with alexander on, he's the one on the right.

Wow... the description on this fancast is a little depressing. Richard is a Debbie Downer.

Sometimes I just get going with an idea and I can't stop...

Yeah... well now I'm sad, and I've got a tear in my eye and a hole in my heart. Thanks... ass. ;)

I just cut myself!

....and the depression continuous

I've been cutting myself since I woke up this morning, and drinking.

The next fancast should be entitled xbox360 Fancast: Updated Zune Album art edition.

Hey it's fixed! Can't complain anymore!

yes, we can.

lol

Yeah Xav, me and Zombie couldn't believe it when it finally happened.

Kudos to Richard!

I dont see the album art being updated at all.

You have to switch to this feed:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/xbox360fancast

Bam, Zune updated album art.

Awesome, now all you have to do is get Joystiq to fix their feed, and we are all good.

"X3F will never threaten to stab you"

O_o?

Hello, I'm a first time listener to the podcast.
An i just wanna say this. Wow! That Dustin guy sounds like a chick! Is he really a he? He voice is so female like. (lol)

Anyway, this a decent podcast. It's not great, but it's decent.

First, welcome. Second, WTF?

I actually thought he was a 12 year old boy, the first time I heard fanboy podcast. So i get what ur saying. But now im addicted to the podcast!

Yeah, Dustin has that cracking voice of a teen, but I like his contribution to the podcast.

I'm glad you guys got so much mileage out of my question, thanks for another great episode.

ZenGaijin gets the mention....not directly though.

Last mintue Rocket to the helicopter for the win!

@DaMan09

Easy fix is, delete your old feed URL and use the new Zune link in this post.

Fixed!

Awesome, now all you have to do is tell the joystiq podcast guys how you did it.

Wait a minute...

I've been listening to the X3F podacast since day 1 and I was just thinking...Who the hell is Terrance?

Terrence=Xav, in disguise.

listening now. :D

do you want me to post the fancast address again for ya? :P ahahahahah lol

can i be a guest? :P

Xav...UEFA is the European organization that regulates footy there. What you were talking about was the UEFA Cup and the UEFA Champions League, which happen yearly, and the UEFA Euro, which happens every 4 years (2 years off of the FIFA World Cup, kind of like the Winter and Summer Olympics). They are all different European football competitions.

I do agree with you that golf is not a sport. You hit a ball off a holder with a stick, drive or walk for several hours to find it, and repeat. You goal is to get this ball into a tiny hole in some far-off distant land...LOL

Enjoy! ;)

Go Portugal.

Awesome podcast guys. I'm finally caught back up. :D

I'm about a quarter way through now.
I mostly listen at night in bed....mostly =)

I'm trying to find the e-mail address for you guys,I need to ask questions!

fancast [att] xbox360fanboy [dawt] com

Oh, about that explosun of PS3 sales in 2009. I have a theory - its because of the digital conversion of US TV, which will lead people to buy HDTV and HD players plus a PS3 price cut = higher sales.

I took the trouble of finding supporting source. http://www.physorg.com/news7662.html
