Xbox 360 Fancast 031 -- Income PAX


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'.

10. Lol RAM, I almost regret playin Bioshock on hard, those Big Daddy's are freakishly difficult. I've thought of starting over, but I'm already kinda far...my only option would be to kill the little sis, but I need the achievement! Rrgh, decisions decisions.

11. "Not sure who mentioned it, but the PS2 toy story grraphics thing was brought up.

That dev may have said that, but Sony definitely said it about the PS2 first. For the life of me I can't find a transcript of Sony's E3 1999 press conference, but there are multiple references to Toy Story graphics in news stories about the PS2 unveiling. These are all way back in 1999, before the Xbox was publicly announced.

For example:

NY Times:
http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E05E2D91431F93AA25750C0A96F958260

ZD net:
http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9595_22-500953.html

CNN:
http://money.cnn.com/1999/03/01/life/playstation/

I'd love a transcript of the Sony E3 1999 conference if anyone knows where to find it.

12. Only two weeks for your 360's return? Hmm. Mine will be two weeks tomorrow, and I don't have any notification besides "received at service center". >:[

Posted at 11:40AM on Aug 28th 2007 by CyberKnight

13. Hey Sensei (or Dustin), so when Dustin says he is not gonna buy BioShock, does that mean he is not gonna play it at all (besides what he has already played) or does it mean he is gonna rent it and play the game the whole way through at least once?

Comments like these make me wonder how Dustin is still on the 'cast?

ZED WORD

14. Um...I was about to beat you guys over the head with a tuna if you didn't suggest Pac-Man C.E. for Xbox Live Arcade! Dustin barely saved you guys. *Puts tuna away*

15. Hey guys, thanks for answering my question. Much appreciated. Now I just have to stop myself from refreshing the damned dell order status page every 5 minutes.

James.
