Sure, we've all got plenty of games to play, but our listeners depend on new Fancast episodes. It is like nourishment for them, and we will not be accused of starving our poor listeners. No, we will provide you with a new Fancast. Nay, we must. So, um, here it is. This week we take a brief look at the important news of the week. Fear not though, for our news may be short, but our second half is jam-packed with sweet, gooey goodness. We take on an entire bag full of fanmail and begin our long awaited and spoiler-filled discussion of Halo 3. Warning to those who have not finished the campaign, our spoiler-ridden discussion begins at 1:03:00 and ends at 1:25:44.
The rest of you, enjoy.

Can you believe it? 35 magical episodes of the Xbox 360 Fancast. We'll save the schmaltzy flashbacks for another time though, because this week it's serious business. Oh yes, tonight is the launch of Halo 3and it's episode 35. You can bet your booties we have a special guest, and... um ... we do, so hand over your booties if you didn't believe us. To celebrate the magnificent arrival of Halo 3, we invited a very special guest, Geoff Ramsey from Rooster Teeth Productions. Best known as Griff from the Halo machinema series Red Vs. Blue, Geoff helps us discuss the merits of achievement boosting, what's happening at Rooster Teeth, and, of course, Halo 3. Together, we create a Fancast the likes of which the universe has never seen. Let us hope that the bounds of our natural laws can contain it. If you'd like to see if your computer can contain it, you may download it below.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the penultimate Fancast before Halo 3. One week from today, we'll be Fancasting and dreaming of the glory that is soon to befall us (we hope). But, that's a week away, and now we must concentrate on the painfully wretched present. And what better way to do that than with a firm dose of sarcasm? And, if you want to do that, why not recruit the man behind Sarcastic Gamer, Jeromy "Doc" Adams. Together, we dissect the hype surrounding Halo 3, drool over Ninja Gaiden 2, laugh at the Engineer from TF2, and take a gander at the Xbox 360's sales numbers. We also discuss the dangers of keeping your Xbox 360 controllers within the general vicinity of children and toilets. Long story short: not the best idea. As always, you'll find links to all the Fancast topics after the break.

The Xbox 360 Fancast keeps on rocking and rolling towards a new era, an era where fanboys of all stripes can live in peace. This week we talk about the Time article on Halo 3 that received a lot of (unwarranted) complaints last week, the Call of Duty 4 beta, luscious Team Fortress 2 action, and the mind-melting insanity that is Silent Hill V. After the break we voice our opinions on the Xbox 360 repair process and take some time to address fanboyism. Be sure that there is a sharp distinction between a fanboy and fanboyism. A fanboy -- by our definition anyway -- celebrates gaming on all levels, though he or she may lean towards console or another. One who practices fanboyism, well, they're the kind of people you avoid in the dark recesses of the internet (of which there are many). Download the show below for an introspective look at the world of console fanboyism. Dr. Phil would be proud.

We've just churned out the 32nd episode of the Xbox 360 Fancast (and boy are our arms tired!). This week, we talk about wacky Korean Halo 3 marketing, the Call of Duty 4 multiplayer beta, Family Guy, Castle Crashers, and the growing sense of dread that accompanies Silent Hill V news. Yes, we discuss all of this and more. We also take some time to answer fanmail about the wireless headset, the Orange Box, and THE MOST DIFFICULT FANCAST QUESTION EVER (according to the person who sent it to us). Download and experience aural (we said aural) pleasure.

Here it is, episode 31 now available for your enjoyment. This week we have an impromptu special guest in the form of Frank, otherwise known as TheMan661. Together with our usual group of miscreants, we jaw about BioShock, Team Fortress 2, and the unjust reality of community gamerpics. We also talk about flaming steering wheels, Metal Slug 3, and of course, the plethora of Halo 3 media floating around. We also take some time to answer fanmail and discuss the magic of the Penny Arcade Expo. Find your favorite method of download below and get listenin'.

Wow. Sitting, as we are, atop this mound of Fancasts, we can truly appreciate the trail of ruin left in our 30-episode-long wake. 30 episodes. Let that sink in. That's more episodes than Freakazoid!, and that's saying something. We're not sure what it is, but it must say something. Anyway, it calls for a celebration, and so we bring you a very special guest, Chris Paladino of Gamerscore Blog. With our powers combined, we talk about BioShock, Iris, the Xbox Live Server Platform, both pirates and ninjas, and ... um ... panties.
We also take some time to answer some special 30 episode fanmail and pick Chris's brain. Now is probably the time to tell you that he did have a Jeff Bell story. Alas, it was forever destroyed by the evils of Skype. Next time, Chris. Next time.

The Xbox 360 Fancast is back once again with the ill behavior another wonder-filled episode. This week we talk about the Xbox 360 price cut, the new HDMI enabled Premium 360s, and Rock Band's seemingly wired bundle issue. We also discuss the XBLA games coming soon and spend some time answering our fanmail. This week, we have some special audio mail to share too, which is always nice, right?

This week's Fancast is a doozy! And it's only partly because we can't stop rambling! Yes, we actually have important things to talk about, including HMV taking pre-orders for 360 MGS4 (which is no longer the case, by the way), Master Chief's possible death in Halo 3, and the continuing battle between Guitar Hero III and Rock Band. We also take some time to answer fanmail and discuss the difference between R rated movies and M rated games (hint: movies get away with a lot more). As a special treat, we also have some music contributed by some of our very own readers, which is a trend we'd love to see continue. Download the Fancast below or be the laughingstock of your entire neighborhood.

It's time for another fresh, steaming helping of the Xbox 360 Fancast. This week we talk about Resident Evil 5, Condemned 2's potential ESRB troubles, and the 360 portability of MGS4. We also take some time to answer fanmail about Canadian game dealers and our biggest E3 disappointments. Finally, prompted by the 360-only content in GTAIV, we take a long look at the term "exclusive" and what place it has in the current generation of console games. As always, you may download by your method of choice below.
(Note to Harry Potter fanboys: the comments made by Jeff Bell occurred well before the latest book was released. We would never spoil your Harry Potter goodness.)

Update: This episode was briefly stuck in a time warp and has only now been published at the correct time. It may take a bit for the iTunes feed to readjust.
Another week has passed and we must now share with you another new episode of the Xbox 360 Fancast. This week we talk a little too much about Halo 3 and its (possible) lack of online co-op. We also discuss Silicon Knights legal shenanigans with Epic, Bully on 360, our feelings about TimeShift, and so much more. The show may be acquired in various and sundry ways below.

This is it folks, Xbox 360 Fancast episode 25. We are a day late but certainly not a dollar short. No, this week our show is jam-packed with E3 goodness. We have four, count 'em four, interviews directly from E3. We cornered and threatened Xbox paragons Frank O'Connor and Brian "Ske7ch" Jarrard from Bungie Studios. Seeing reason, they acquiesced to our request and agreed to an interview. Good thing for them too, because we totally would have called them names if they hadn't. As if that wasn't enough, we also nabbed an interview with Mr. Fable 2 himself, Peter Molyneux. Listen in wonder as his warm British voice washes over you and puts you in a spell. You'd best snap back to reality though, as we saved our biggest interview for last: Vice President of Microsoft's Entertainment and Devices Division, Peter Moore.
Yes, we have all these interviews and plenty of E3 information squeezed between them. It's giant quadruple-decker audio sandwich, and we've made it just for you. Dowload and enjoy. Don't forget your napkin.

We're at the tail end of a very jet lagged trip to E3, but that wasn't enough to keep us from bringing you yet another episode of the Xbox 360 Fancast. This week, we talk about Bungie Day, the latest in Rock Band, Virtua Fighter 5's 360 enhancements, and of course, we discuss the newly extended Xbox 360 warranty. Dowload, listen, and enjoy, or pay the price.

Presenting the 23rd episode of the Xbox 360 Fancast. This week, we jaw about HaloClix, the new GTAIV trailer, Soul Calibur IV and much more. We also take a look at some fanmail, where we answer your burning questions. In particular, we address the seemingly growing problem with Xbox 360 hardware. Those who fail to download the new episode do so at their own peril.
