Filed under: Podcasts

So, this is where we make "over the hill" jokes. Yes, break out the black balloons, it's episode 40 of the Xbox 360 Fancast. Appropriately enough, it's only a few days shy of Halloween. Middle-aged jokes aside, we've got quite a special treat for our fans out there. Of course, we have the usual poignant, witty repartee you've come to expect, but we've also got a special guest: Michael "Burnie" Burns from Rooster Teeth Productions, the daring crazy-folk behind Red. Vs. Blue. As usual, we chat about the latest goings on in Xbox, but we also get an exclusive opportunity to talk with Burnie about Recovery One, their final Halo 2 project. Not only that, but we talk about Rooster Teeth's plans for Halo 3. Download, listen, and know what it is to experience pure joy.

It's getting close. Can you smell it? Episode 40. It goes down next week. But before we get there, we've got to lay down Episode 39. This week, we talk about Microsoft's success in September (and their indebtedness to Halo 3), Bionic Commando, Street Fighter IV, and whether or not Mass Effect will deliver (hint: it will). We also congratulate our own David Dreger on completing a 681 day streak of earning at least one achievement every day. If you count down those days, you will discover that he's been doing it since launch day. Yeah, he's nuts, but he's good nuts, you know?

Despite numerous calls for us to rethink our podcasting career, we just keep on making Fancasts. This week, we drool over the excellence of Portal, rejoice in the 360 confirmation of Project Offset, and discuss the bitter truth of interoffice fanboy bias. It's a show full of serious, pressing issues in the world today. Serious issues pertaining to the Xbox 360 anyway. Well, they are issues at the very least. But eough blather! Git ta downloadin'.

Oh, did we mention that Dustin didn't play Gears of War last week? Because he didn't.

Xbox 360 Fancast 035 -- Red Vs. Blue Vs. X3F

Can you believe it? 35 magical episodes of the Xbox 360 Fancast. We'll save the schmaltzy flashbacks for another time though, because this week it's serious business. Oh yes, tonight is the launch of Halo 3 and it's episode 35. You can bet your booties we have a special guest, and... um ... we do, so hand over your booties if you didn't believe us. To celebrate the magnificent arrival of Halo 3, we invited a very special guest, Geoff Ramsey from Rooster Teeth Productions. Best known as Griff from the Halo machinema series Red Vs. Blue, Geoff helps us discuss the merits of achievement boosting, what's happening at Rooster Teeth, and, of course, Halo 3. Together, we create a Fancast the likes of which the universe has never seen. Let us hope that the bounds of our natural laws can contain it. If you'd like to see if your computer can contain it, you may download it below.

Xbox 360 Fancast 034 -- The Doc is in

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the penultimate Fancast before Halo 3. One week from today, we'll be Fancasting and dreaming of the glory that is soon to befall us (we hope). But, that's a week away, and now we must concentrate on the painfully wretched present. And what better way to do that than with a firm dose of sarcasm? And, if you want to do that, why not recruit the man behind Sarcastic Gamer, Jeromy "Doc" Adams. Together, we dissect the hype surrounding Halo 3, drool over Ninja Gaiden 2, laugh at the Engineer from TF2, and take a gander at the Xbox 360's sales numbers. We also discuss the dangers of keeping your Xbox 360 controllers within the general vicinity of children and toilets. Long story short: not the best idea. As always, you'll find links to all the Fancast topics after the break.

Buy Teh Haloz: an X3F tribute song

Posted Sep 12th 2007 3:00PM by Richard Mitchell
Filed under: Fan stuff

Far be it from us to toot our own horn, but we couldn't help sharing this song created by an Xbox 360 Fancast listener. Entitled "Buy Teh Haloz," (direct link here) the song is a celebration of Microsoft's favorite consumer message, which is, of course, buy teh Haloz. Naturally, we also like it because it was made using samples from our very own Xbox 360 Fancast. But you already knew that, because you listen to it all the time, right? Right?!

It has a mesmerizing quality that we can't quite put our finger on. We like to imagine that all Microsoft personnel will be forced to sleep to this song for the next 6 weeks in order to inspire them in their Halo 3 launch endeavors.

If you think you can top it, by all means slip us a line at fancast [at] xbox360fanboy [dot] com. We'd love to play it during the show, and you can bet your booties this will be on the next episode.


"Buy Teh Haloz"
[Thanks to Travis Johnson for the song]
