This is it, kids, the first episode of the Xbox 360 Fancast under the Joystiq Xbox banner. In this week's episode, we do our best to explain exactly what's changing and what isn't. For the most part, Things will be exactly the same around here, only with even more timely news and a much nicer design. The Fancast, however, will remain exactly the same. Give it a listen and be sure to give us your feedback! Unfortunately, the changeover to Joystiq Xbox has borked our iTunes feed and probably our...

This week's episode of the Xbox 360 Fancast might be chock-full of info on Gears of War 3, Prey 2, Red Faction: Armageddon and FEAR 3, but that's not what it's really about. No, this episode is really about the great state of Idaho, potato capital of America. Come for the game talk, but stay for the tubers.

Now, we've read some comments complaining that it's hard to tell the difference between the voices of Alexander and Dustin. Frankly, it's something we've never understood. They sound completely different. Like, totally. But there is a new comment, and that is that Richard (that's me!) sounds exactly like Chris Grant from the Joystiq Podcast. This is patently false, and we're going to prove it. Oh, and we also cover the latest news* .... yadda, yadda, yadda. Download and learn. *We were totally...

This is it, the last episode before we hit the mighty number 100. Barring some horrible catastrophe on a galactic scale, we'll probably make it. This week, we discuss all the latest news, one hilarious Sony email and plenty more. We also spend a healthy (?) chunk of time discussing 1-2 flush toilets and Marmite. Don't ask us why, but Marmite has probably incited more emails that anything we've ever discussed on the show. Go figure. Listen and find out why.

It's Fancast time once again, and this week we spend quite a bit of time on Left 4 Dead 2, which seems to be stirring up some contention on the ol' Joystiq. We also discuss under age gaming and our favorite retro titles. Listen intently as Richard rattles off one obscure game after the next. As if that weren't enough, witness the revival of Oklahoma's greatest contribution to mankind, Color Me Badd!

This is it folks, the two hundredth episode of the Xbox 360 Fancast. We've got lots of special stuff lined up, including interviews with Volition's J Goldberg and Xbox Live community manager, Eric Doty. Also, what better way to celebrate four years of awesomeness than exposing the world to the greatness that is X3F's most publicized listener, Algebra Cow (AKA Mike). Finally, a big shout out to Mr. Scott Biggs, who went to the trouble of brewing us beer in celebration of 200 episodes. It was...

Suffice it to say that there is far too much talk about Justin Bieber this week. A week ago, none of us knew who he was. This week? Fascinated. There's also plenty of talk about video games, including the announcement of Respawn Entertainment, the new outfit founded by ex Infinity Ward heads, Jason West and Vince Zampella. Also, there's some serious discussion about turning the Xbox 360 Fancast into a zany morning radio show. You should download it.

We know, we know, it's been a while. And, for that, we're sorry. Between E3 recovery, vacations and crippling sickness, we just haven't had a Fancast out for a while. Fret no more, for the show is finally back and better than ever. Well, okay, not better than ever. After all, Xav was still sick for this one, so you'll have to make do with only 75 percent of our usual awesome.

In this week's episode of the (late) Xbox 360 Fancast, our hosts discuss all things Modern Warfare 2, Fable's episodic future and berate one host for making (what some may consider) a huge mistake. Also, Joystiq alum Ludwig Kietzmann jumps into the fray to help us answer fanmail, in an episode you're probably sure to enjoy.

You're in for quite the piping-hot treat of justice today, as the Xbox 360 Fancast crew find themselves in rare form for the 190th episode of this podcasting institution. There's plenty of punny taglines for our coffee-themed super hero we've concocted in our noggins, but there's also talk of this Xbox 360 video games console thing, as well -- specifically, about how well Kinect has been doing and how much fun it is to stab your friends. Download and listen, lest you allow the Borgia to win!

The Xbox 360 Fancast starts week of GDC with a special episode this year. On the latest episode, we talk about Resident Evil 5, the dreaded E74 and the Xbox 360's repair coffin. On top of that, we have an interview with The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai creator and friend of the Fancast, James Silva. Download it or risk public ridicule.

It's time once again for the Xbox 360 Fancast. Things are mostly back to normal after last week's Fable fest. We even cover regular news again! Isn't that something? We also take a moment to vent about folks that actually didn't like all of our super awesome Fable II coverage. The audacity! Oh, and Xav is back. Yes, it's a plain, white bread show. Sometimes, though, that's exactly what you need, right?

Another week, another exciting episode of the Xbox 360 Fancast. This week, we discuss the NPDs and, of course, Wesley Snipes' burgeoning game development career. We also have a special announcement. Sort of. Think of it as a pre-announcement that may or may not be related to PAX East 2010. Like, if we get up the courage to do it, it might actually happen. But don't quote us on it.

This is it folks. E3 is only a week away. With so little time left, we thought it was best to dedicate this episode to our E3 predictions and to our plans for the event. The image above, lest you're wondering, is none other than the official X3F sticker. We'll be carting a boatload of them to E3. We'll be distributing them to famous people in exchange for photographs. We think it's a pretty good deal. Oh, and you just might get your own sweaty little hands on one during the Joystiq E3 meet up....

Even with Richard and Dustin heading off to PAX, the X3F train rolls on. Alexander and Xav tackle a pile of Fanmail and bring special guest Jake Reardon (Xbox Canada's Community Manager) along for the journey. We laugh, discuss the gaming industry and drink brandy from fancy glasses ... like gentlemen.

We tried to get excited about Microsoft's CES 2010 announcements. We really did. Just listen to the latest Xbox 360 Fancast to find out how hard we tried. We also talk -- at great length -- about Bayonetta and its more ... naughty aspects. At one point, a hairy disco ball is mentioned. Give it a listen, and you'll also get a fresh installment of fanmail. Enjoy.

It's only been two weeks since our Halo Wars show, and here we are again talking about Halo. This week, we give our final verdict on Halo Wars. As if that weren't enough, we also talk about our hands-on experience with the Mythic Map Pack for Halo 3. Truly, it's a Halo-tastic show. We also take a look at some fanmail and finally have a new edition of Spoiler Warning, this time discussing Fallout 3. Download it ... now.

It's another week of putting up with a sub-par Richard-less Xbox 360 Fancast, we're afraid, made even worse by the fact we're down two people this week -- Xav won't be joining us. Alexander and Dave try to make a show for you all still, but without the love and guidance of the other two, things kinda go off the rails: both figuratively and literally. So buckle up, it's going to be a bumpy ride filled with more Battlefield: Bad Company 2 gushing, some John Cleese chit-chat and even a surprise...

The Xbox 360 Fancast shambles on this week. Sadly, as there is no Xav on the show, we are forced to ramble on without any angry tirades. It's sad, we know. Still, you can hear us gab on and on about Capcom, Mass Effect 2 and other things too! Oh, and we do our best not to use any naughty words. Our best, as it turns out, isn't very good.

We're sure that somewhere, someday, gamers will learn what a boycott actually is. Thankfully, that day is still far in the future, allowing us to bask in the hilarity. Also featured on the show this week: News, mail and gold medal fever. But mostly it's just us jawing about how incomprehensible the Sonic the Hedgehog 4 boycott is.

Halo: Reach plays a big part of this week's Xbox 360 Fancast. Our own Xav de Matos played the game for several hours last week, and we grill him for the details (jet packs!). Of course, we also take a few minutes to discuss the news out of Captivate 2010 as well as the other important things that happened last week (including even more Halo: Reach news). Don't waste any time, start listening now.

It's been hard. It's been painful. It's been really difficult, but we can finally talk about Halo Wars. We've been playing the full review code for some time, you see. We kept our lips sealed before, but now it's time to talk. That's pretty much the highlight this week. Oh sure, we talk about the news and read some fanmail, but we know why you're really listening. It's okay. We like it. Go ahead and listen.

This is it. This is the show, kids. It's the very last episode of the Xbox 360 Fancast with Dustin Burg. We figured the most appropriate way to commemorate the occasion would be spending the entire episode talking about Halo 3: ODST, so that's exactly what we did. We also read from the gigantic pile of farewell letters that Dustin received. Give it a listen, and then give our departing host a moment of silence. Big thanks to Chris Majewski (AKA Magic Whiskey) for the farewell art above. Oh,...

We got an email not to long ago claiming that it was impossible to get all four hosts of the Fancast nowadays. Given the fact that we are once again short one member (Xav) this week, we're starting to agree. Whether it's some sort of curse that has been placed upon us or simple bad timing, who's to say? Apart from our missing cohort, we discuss a bevy of interesting topics this week, including the possible phasing out of the 360 Pro console and a surefire way to make Alexander hate you during a...

It's unclear just how it happened, but this week's Fancast clocks in at almost two hours. It took a long time. Time that we could have spent writing about games. But, you demand podcast goodness and we must oblige, so prepare for a mountain of emails about underage gaming, the Japanese game industry, delicious dessert islands and more. We also take some time to discuss the NPD numbers and, of course, Starship Troopers.

This is the first show after the end of GDC, and it's time to discuss all the totally awesome Xbox news that didn't happen. Okay, so even if there wasn't a mess of Xbox awesomeness at GDC, we still take a little time discussing the interesting bits. Of course we also talk about the week's events and take a look at some fanmail, including another rather discouraging email regarding Microsoft's policy on shipping coffins to repair victims customers. Listen. Listen hard.

After two weeks of special episodes (you've listened to Episode Zero and the PAX East Live show, right?), things return to a somewhat normal state this week. Of course, all we do is talk about PAX East, so it's not that normal. Check out the latest episode for an earful on Section 8: Prejudice, Orcs Must Die!, Skullgirls and a verbal recounting of the X3F Live antics you couldn't see while listening to the recording.

Oh, and the Chrisopher Walken alien movie? Communion. It was Communion.

We have Community Manager Ben Swanson and Online Marketing Manager Andrew Green from Electronic Arts to discuss Dead Space and its No Known Survivors campaign. Beyond that we have the usual news and chicanery with the added bonus of more British accents. It's okay though, because Alexander loves BBC America. It's actually worth listening to this one, we promise.

Rather than plow through the same old, tired formula we've been peddling for nearly two years now, we've decided to (slightly) mix things up with a special guest!

Together we discuss the creation of What They Play as well as the direction of the game...

You might call this show sort of discombobulated. Xav is missing for the first half of the show, only to be found just in time for the second half. We're all a bit sleepy too. But hey, we're all still the same happy-go-lucky, affable people you know and love. Anywho, we're marching ever onwards to episode 100, so this episode is really a part of history.

Happy New Year, fanboys, and happy first Xbox 360 Fancast of the year 2009. We thought we'd start off the new year by catching up on some fanmail, so that's exactly what we did. Yup, this show is nothing but fanmail. Gasp, as we discover that Canada does in fact have 1-2 flush toilets. Thrill, as we discuss hackneyed gaming conventions.

Don't worry, kids. Despite the title, this episode of the Fancast is completely functional. Xav is on hiatus to finish up this "school" business he keeps telling us about, so you'd best get used to the absence of his dulcet tones. This week, we talk about the E74 error warranty extension, the Pirate Bay convictions and Bungie's shenanigans in our recent Mythic Halo 3 Challenge. And, of course, we take a look at the latest news and read some fanmail. Come, stay a while and listen.
