Good how guys! About the FM2 paint jobs that you asked in the show, there's no way to upload anything to FM2 for custom paint jobs, not even with the 360's webcam.
All that you see is acomplished by combinating the geometric forms stamps in several diferent layers. You can deform those forms to a certain dgree though. After you're done with your creation you can attach all the layers and save it as a single stamp, so it will be easier to duplicate it on other cars.
By the way, what's up with NONE of you guys being into REAL racing games????
And what's up with David's love for that crappy burnout series? That's not a racing game for godssakes, it's a car combat game!! lol
Anyway, -100 respect for the X3F for having only 2 shooter addicts and a nintendo DS fanboy on it's crew. lol again.
Keep up the AMAZING work guys, I love you show and wait on it anxiously every week as the main part of my dog walking sound track!

Dustin should be booted off the podcast. This is the XBox360Fanboy podcast not a GoWPodcast. He never actually provides information on any game unless the words "Gears of War" appear in the title. For gods sake he doesnt even own Guitar Hero 2 - the highest rated Game for the 360.
But rest assured he'll be there to throw in some random verb or emit some sort of noise just so he wont feel left out.

@ #5,
That's SO true! LOL
Dustin is so obcessed with GoW it's funny. At the beggining when all 3 say whatever they played during the week you can bet on 2 things: Richard played his retro crap (FF3 on DS) and Dusting played GoW. LOL.
Soooo predictable... But I like Dustin's presence on the show. He sounds like the smartass in the crew and I like his attitude.
I love when David call Dustin just to say fuck you. It's hilarious...
The way I picture when I hear them talking is that Dustin is the smart ass geek, David is the bully jock and Richard is the popular guy that's not on either end of the spectrum and wants to keep everything politically correct.
I think the three of them give a perfect chemestry and balance to the show.

Mauricio: First, love you too. Second, Guitar Hero II isn't the highest rated 360 game ... it's a little game called Gears of War. I say good day sir!

Dustin, Two words for you...
Contructive.Criticism.
You're right. i should have said "One" of the highest rated games. IGN has both "Gears of Dustin" and Guitar Hero 2 at 9.4
http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/744/744356p1.html
http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/777/777444p1.html
although the reader reviews has "GoD" at 9.0 and GH2 at 9.1. But its all relative.
Knuckles, Sensei - you guys do great work. Have nothing but praise for you guys.
Dustin - Here are some synonyms for the word Boring: drab, dreary, dry, dull, flat, heavy, humdrum, jading, leaden, monotonous, pedestrian, ponderous, stodgy, stuffy, stupid, tame, tedious, tiresome, tiring, unanimated, uninteresting, wearisome, weary, wearying

Listened to it last night great podcast guys!
You guys commenting are so harsh on Dustin lol. Better than everyone being addict to Halo 3 right? Or WoW!
Yer about the Forza 2 custom jobs, its all about shapes and whats accessible in the game. No importing from any where.
Thanks for reading my mail. Now I'm patiently waiting for next weeks cast.
