Xbox 360 Fancast 080 -- Football!

Episode 080. Wow. What can we say? It seems appropriate that this show drops the week after Madden 09. The more things change, the more they stay the same, so they say. As such, we bring you this fresh Fancast that is much the same as it ever was. We've got news, Fanmail, Fantalk and everything you've come to expect from us. And, thanks to Madden 09, we've got a heavy dose of footbaaaaalllll! Listen as we ponder our own existence (not really) and discuss just what the heck we're going to do for episode 100 (we really do talk about that).

Nice photoshop!

Finally, my hours of boredom around the office have led to this momentous day. My Photoshop skills being recognized by the masses!

That's Xav?

Hmm. I always pictured him as mexican for some reason.

Ouch. Isn't he Portuguese?

Way off from Mexican :P

I thought he said he was of Spanish descent. Whatever the case, using the term "some kind of Spanish" is acceptable. ;)

It's appearing/downloading on iTunes.

It's not appearing/downloading on iTunes*

(messed up my sentence)

It should be fixed once iTunes refreshes its feed.

GOOD TIMING I was just getting on to see if this was up and ready.

Hmmm ... not downloading for me on iTunes right now ... giving me a can not find the url.

Yeah, it isn't working for me either. (Same issue)

Same on Zune

having trouble with the itunes feed. It shows as if their is a new fancast but nothing actually downloads. the "downloading" bar goes away after a split second.

wow i thought that was colt brennan at first.

it is showing a error with the url when i try to download it via zune marketplace, can you readd it?

Both the iTunes feed and the RSS feed do not work.

IT's Not Working Still >: /

(i guess i have to jog with out listening to it today)

Direct download is working but the iTunes directory and RSS seems to be having some issues.

Download it for now, sorry about that folks.

Epic Fail !!!

@gaymerxbox360,

Are you referring to your double-post?

yes, that too :/

iTunes works fine now btw...

THERE IS GEARS 2 NEWS!
There's a scam going around XBL, with hacked accounts sending messages saying there beta codes at some ripway site. Don't believe it its full of BULL! Just a heads up guys!

I timed my post horribly =*(
*looks at clock*
*tear*

same with microsoft point someone sent me 1 but i never went sounded stupid

There is a fine line in this industry between News and rumorage and it all depends on the source. Messages from one user to another isn't reliable at all.

Holy Crap, I feel like a retard. I believe I was the one that sent in that tip about castle crashers to X3F.

*Shame*

BTW, I am one of those proud Zune users. Thanks for that album art update a while back.

Dustin, you are the weakest link, goodbye

how dare you!

Doo doo doo DOO DOO DOO Doo doo.

Wow, lol.
As soon as I read that it happened on the podcast.

That looks like Joey Lawrence in a Brett Favre jersey.

We 3 Zune users unite!!!

With our Zunes combined... WE HAVE... 3 Zunes.

Oh shit there might be 4 Zombienuts has a Zune too and whoever this new guy is we almost have a gang.

4 zuners ;-)

I too, have a Zune!

I don't see why people don't like the Zune. It is a great piece of hardware. And someday we will be able to play XNA games on it...someday. *sigh*

I have a Zune and hate the stretched out art. That's all.

I have a Zune and it was updated awhile back. I think around the time of the last X3F community night.

The only beef I have with the Zune is that it doesn't support the Mac ... at all. Why Microsoft won't open it up to a demographic that *loves* portable media players is a total mystery to me.

New Zune art please! If I download from the Zune marketplace, the artwork is all stretched out and crappy. If I direct download, and then sync it up with my Zune, the artwork is fine... but it's listed in music instead of podcasts.

Of course Richard would be a MAC user, dirty hippie. ;)

I'd love to help with the X3FFDF but not sure the world is ready for my dull Welsh tones yet! And I'm not on Facebook anymore - all those people 'poking' me and sending me stupid shit.

But go X3FFDF!!

Is X3FFDF even necessary?
I mean the JFFDF is out of desperate self preservation.

We should have a X3FFAF, as in Xbox 360 Fanboy Fancast Appreciation Fancast.

Though we should amass an army anyways, should they wage an all out war.

Thanks for the geek voice, it was better than i thought.

Dustin you're my hero... No one truly understands the power of Viva Pinata!!!!!!!! It is up there on the top ten 360 games. But you do have to be careful with those crates full of flesh eating Pinata herpes.....

I appreciated your Madden commentary Xav ... I couldn't agree with you more on the whackness of the Madden skill stuff. Those running and passing "tests" are far too easy and the defense "tests" are crazy hard. It definitely does some things right, but has some epic fails too. Still a great game none the less.

Another Zune listener here. I was always to lazy to comment about the crappy artwork that displayed for the podcast, nice to know you guys actually tried to rectify the situation.
