Xbox 360 Fancast 030 -- Omega-Cast

Wow. Sitting, as we are, atop this mound of Fancasts, we can truly appreciate the trail of ruin left in our 30-episode-long wake. 30 episodes. Let that sink in. That's more episodes than Freakazoid!, and that's saying something. We're not sure what it is, but it must say something. Anyway, it calls for a celebration, and so we bring you a very special guest, Chris Paladino of Gamerscore Blog. With our powers combined, we talk about BioShock, Iris, the Xbox Live Server Platform, both pirates and ninjas, and ... um ... panties.

We also take some time to answer some special 30 episode fanmail and pick Chris's brain. Now is probably the time to tell you that he did have a Jeff Bell story. Alas, it was forever destroyed by the evils of Skype. Next time, Chris. Next time.

2. Wow I am listening to it right now. This has to be the funniest fancast so far. I loled when Dustin said that David's kid's first words would be "achievement" and when David picked up the phone.

3. Wow it's COV3RT SN1P3R... lmao. What a small world. This guy was in one of my Shadowrun games and we booted him because he wasn't a team player. So he sends me a voice message saying, "Your gamerscore is garbage so stfu faggot, and I'll rape you any day." I lol'd. My gamerscore is garbage? People care about gamerscores? Wow, get a life buddy.

8. Sorry, bro.

But if your gamertag is CoV3RTxSN1P3R then it is. I just checked the message.
