Xbox 360 Fancast 042 -- Intervention


Update 2: All fixed. Enjoy your Fancast.

This week brings some very special moments for the Xbox 360 Fancast. First of all, our episode number represents the meaning of Life, the Universe, and Everything. In retrospect, we wish that we had realized that before titling the episode and uploading it. Hindsight aside, we also confront one of our hosts with a harsh truth: he's been playing Yaris. Download the show to hear the entire dastardly tale.

I saw Dustin playing Yaris last week, but decided not to ask about it incase he'd gone mad and might kill me.

actually i just called a store and they said that they dont know anything about their black friday sales ads. so you might want to call your nearest kb toys store a day or two before black friday to confirm this.

David, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. You certainly get an A for effort. Much better.

Then again, who's to say that I'm not in the minority of those who wanted a change in the first place?

I wasn't thanking Dustin as much as I was pondering giving in to the notions of ignorance is bliss and a fool and his money. I'll thank Dustin if I actually get the games. Knowledge hurts...

a little late yes, but I don't mind David's voice. I like how each person takes a turn, and if someone knows the answer to a question, or has personal experience with it... I want them to jump in! 10%?! That's crazy!

Keep the show the way it is, you have a unique dynamic that makes this my FAVORITE podcast!
