Xbox 360 Fancast 099 -- Mmm ... Marmite

finally, been refreshing for an hour waitin for this fancast.. looking forward to ep100, still takin wavs/mp3s?

problem with iTunes. "...could not be found on the server" yada yada yada.

im having trouble downloading it from zune...x3f for the win!!!

Just had the startling realization why I'm mildly depressed right now, X3F. It's only partially due to the weather and dearth of cool stuff to talk about..it's something else entirely.

It's because of the fact that at least since October, I've been wandering miles and miles of virtual rubble and earth-tone debris in almost every new game I've played. Call of Duty: World @ War, Silent Hill Homecoming, Gears of War 2, Left 4 Dead was altogether untidy, and lest I forget the grandaddy of them all, Fallout 3. I mean..z'damn.
I don't know about you guys, but the first hour or so of just meandering around the DC wasteland was like experiencing virtual-world deep clinical depression with Gamerscore attached.
The game was my GOTY and with countless reasons to back that, and the depression pangs passed as soon as I realized just incredible the game was.
I got slapped AGAIN with World At War though, and that's probably been the longer-lasting impact for me. The funk all of this WWII battle aftermath has me in is almost palpable. I've been doing the 'level-up grind' in that game since Christmas, and I've been absorbing a lot more than my recommended USDA daily allowance of rubble and muted colors these days. and I think I need to spend some time in a brightly painted room now or something.

Perhaps it's time to play some fluffy-bunny game with a high level of passive sweetness to balance out this whole thing. Maybe that's why Kingdom for Keflings released when it did. Hmmm..

hello friends,
first of all i want to congrats to all of your staff, you´re just there ( at your podcast number 100) i write from mexico city and i have a question, if i participate on your trivia games and i win, do i get the price or not ´cause i live here, in my defense i have to say that i don´t choose the place to birth, but i´m a gamer since the atari 2600, so i have a lot o years playing and loving this gamers life...

Saludos a todos los que escuchan X3F podcas, with love form Mexico.

Dustin's hooker story is flat out awesome.

Thanks for reading my email folks. Congrats on your upcoming 100. Meanwhile, I got Braid recently and if 1 button press is not simple I dont know what is. Great game!

Okay, I'll just say it: Enough with this damn Marmite talk, X3F. Marmite sounded like a plaster or a compound resin used in dentistry before you all explained what it was, and you know what? It sounds even worse than that now.

As a representative of the geek world, I have to say that in regards to food, if it's not caffeinated, it's CRAP!

(Drink Game Fuel.)

I have a friend who can't play shooters, GeoWars, looks at the controller for a button etc - but you know what she CAN play? Totemball (the one you use with the camera where you wave your arms around)

It's free and has 2 player co-op to boot

Great fancast like usual guys, can't wait for 100, hopefully i can get my mp3 in though, = \
Looking forward 2 next week for #100!

It's said Bov-Ril (like of) , not Bow-vril. It's may be from a bovine, but it aint pronounced like one.

Anyway it sucks!

Hey guys,

did I detect a small amount of malice in Alexander's tone when he was taking the mickey out of Dustin?

Anyway, I'm super glad that superdunners is embracing other games.

I need to check out Fable 2 myself.

Oh yeah,

when I was a kid I used to play a lot of 5-a-side football (soccer) tournaments in the off season.

We were all encouraged to drink bovril to keep us warm and I still remember it tasting like ass.

think of a really strong, rank tasting gravy and mix it with battery acid. that might come close to how god-awful it is.

To add one more thing about the Sony email , and then I'll be finished with that subject.

You know what else comes out of the box with a wii and the 360 but not the PS3 (at least this SKU)?

Games

Hey Xav, for the 100th episode could you do a Dane Cook impression? That would make my day :D

That impression of Dustin was right on!!!

You can't kill the kids in Fallout 3 either, Xav.

I can't belive you tried. For the love of God, they're virtual children, with virtual lives!

Yeah, I tried too :)
