Xbox 360 Fancast 141 -- Beware of Dropbears

We discuss a lot of things on this week's Fancast. Borderlands bugs,Modern Warfare 2 controversy, all kinds of stuff. None of that is really important though. What is important, is that we apprise our audience of the very real danger posed by dropbears. What's a dropbear, you ask? You'll have to listen to the show to find out. However, as a teaser, please direct your attention after the break, where you will find an artist's rendering of the vicious creature -- as drawn by guest host Dave Hinkle. Now listen. Listen and learn.

(Also after the break, see what Richard, Xav and Alexander dressed as for Halloween.)

I never listen to these, any good?

Nah, it's a pretty crappy show.

Say, Dave Hinkle, how's the Wii Fancast going?

Who are you kidding. It's an awesome podcast, David Hinkle. FLEE FROM THE DROPBEARS AND LAMPPOSTBEARS!!!!!!! FLEEEEEEEEE!!!! lol

In all seriousness, they're very good. Listen to them! :)

A pointy hat is a great defense against dropbears.

lolz @ pictures another great episode guys!

I am spreading the word about the deadly drop bears. Get to your homes ladies and fools! Wear a helmet for the love of christ on a bike!

Wow, who made that hilarious sound of a dropbear at the end? Regardless of that, awesome show fellors.

Hey @SourNotHardcore, Cute icon ;)

Awesome show, Hinkle should be a regular, or at the very least, return for next week's show including Xav.

ZOMG THERE'S A DROPBEAR ON MY LOGO!! RUNNN

Hey Richard,
you didn't listen to my suggestion of using the subpop band, Obits for the music... so sad.

Wow, Dave was a great addition to the show this week. I actually woke the dogs up because I was laughing so hard!

Thanks to Dave Hinkle's art, I know what to look out for if I ever go to Australia. Not that I will, with those terrors lurking in the trees.

Please have him on the show again!

Richard-(In his Milo Voice)
"You Remember when he said you could become a Balverine?"

Alexander- (In his Milo Voice)
"That was a Lie"

I laughed so hard at that!

60 minutes? How freaking old are you?!

Also I laugh hysterically every time Hinkle says 'there' but pronounces it as 'dere.'

Growing up in SW Philly makes you say it that way. You should hear me pronounce "water!"

I feel ya. Growing up in Boston, I am incapable of pronouncing words with multiple r's.

Great show this week, freaking hilarious. I think Dave Hinkle should be on every week.

Hinkle was great on it! You guys should bring him back every week. ;)

And despite living in the US, I'm now scared to sit under trees.....

you guys should really make a dropbear attacking sound constest. this would be just hilarious! and please, try to put Dave as a show regular as well. you guys just rule!

get Hinkle back on the show next week it was hilarious great stuff guys.

Hinkle would be a great regular. I've never said this about a Canadia but Jake from XBOX Canada was cool and I think you should as him to come on everyone once in a while.

ask*

is it just me or did you drop the ball on your ever so promising sound board?

Great discussion on the Aussie Zero Punctuation.

P.S. The Milo role playing was priceless.

Good episode, but i could have done without all the giggling and dropbear discussion.

how dare you disrespect the drop bear! you better watch your head... literally.
