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? Download the show in whatever way you deem appropriate. Just remember, think before you download, and...

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.

The Xbox 360 Fancast returns again with a new episode jam packed with gamery goodness. This week we tackle Xbox.com's minor surgery, the N+ developer rant, and Halo 3's Lockout remake, Blackout. Naturally, we can't help but spend a little time talking about all of the bad decisions surrounding Bad Company either. We also take a look at some cheevo-tastic fanmail and witness the wonders of Skype. Download below ... if you dare.

It's Fancast time! This week the gang talks about Call of Duty 4 versus Halo 3 shenanigans, Crysis shenanigans, and Too Human shenanigans. Really, as Fancasts go, this one is positively full of shenanigans. We also take time to discuss XBLA news and the latest trailer for Viking. We've also got plenty of Fanmail about missing 360s, Falcon replacements, downloadable games, and what movies would make good games. Don't forget we've got our enhanced Fancast on offer too, but unfortunately, you'll...

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.

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.

The Xbox 360 Fancast returns this week with the latest on all things Xbox 360. In our latest episode, we discuss Bad Company's change of heart, Gears of War 2 details, European Rock Band price woes, and Dustin's romp through the Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack. We also take on the topic of whether or not Xbox Live is worth withstanding the worst language society can muster and Call of Duty 4's dreaded noob tube. Download and feel the joy.

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.

Reaching episode 070 of the Xbox 360 Fancast is kind of like reaching your birthday after 25. Sure, there is a perfunctory, soulless celebration, but the truth is that the presents are dwindling, and the ones you do get are probably clothes anyway. There was a time when we used to truly celebrate every tenth episode of the Fancast. This was mainly because each milestone seemed less likely than the last. Nowadays, however, another ten episodes seems inevitable, rote, ordinary. C'est lå vie,...

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, 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...

Well, fanboys and girls, it was an exciting evening yesterday. Yesterday was not unlike a video game in many ways. We tested our platforming skills as we dodged the many ice-laden tree branches tumbling from the sky, and we also solved the puzzles of clearing said branches from the driveway, discovering where we could locate electricity, and untangling the the great stricture placed upon our intertubes. After a vicious battle with the icy tendrils of nature, we emerged victorious, as precious...

Let's face it, this episode is all about Grand Theft Auto IV. Sure, we cover the usual things. We talk about the latest news (a new Prince of Persia?

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 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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

Can it be mere coincidence that our 66th podcast is releasing on the same day as the midnight launch of Grand Theft Auto IV? Perhaps you don't see the connection. Just look. Episode 066. That's only 600 short of 666. We'd say that's pretty much proof positive that GTAIV is the Devil (along with the foosball, of course). Anywho, this week's show is jam packed with news and fanmail, and we spend a healthy amount of time discussing GTAIV's impending arrival. Hopefully it will make your wait in...

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?

Everything was going just fine. The podcast was humming along normally. Heck, we made it all the way through fanmail, but then, the Wall Street Journal happened. You know what an "Unsung Videogame Hero" of 2010 was, according to WSJ? Mass Effect 2. Yeah, the podcast pretty much had to stop there. We are clearly in the wrong line of work.

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.

Okay, so even if there wasn't a mess of Xbox awesomeness at GDC, we still take a little time discussing the interesting bits.
