Dear lord, have we really done ten of these? While we spend every week pondering why anyone listens to these, it seems that at least some people have something amounting to less than complete disgust for the program. As such, we strive to serve those who find our program less onerous than, say, attempting to bathe a cat. This week's Fancast is a doozy by the way. We talk about the new Halo 2 maps, the upcoming Gears of War update, and GTAIV. Of course, all that pales in comparison to our special guest this week. In honor of our tenth episode (dated April 1st, no less), Microsoft's Xbox Live Director of Programming, Larry Hryb -- AKA Major Nelson -- joined our cast. Major enjoys guest hosting duties during the first half of the show, but the second half is dedicated to Get the podcast

Yeah this pretty much confirms that it will name what game is in the disk tray. If you follow Majors podcasts he has always wanted this since launch. Also this was my first listen to your podcasts and it was great, I really like the questions about the elite pricing structure by I think Dustin.

I respect major, and appreciate everything X360fanboy brings to the table...
but aside from Dustin, you really caved when it came time to grill the major for question period. There were some great questions from the original comment section, what happened?
Knuckles, I think you had some serious clipping on your mic... try turning down your input level next time.
Overall, good show guys.

jc,
Larry had to go about halfway through recording, so the question and answer section was extremely rushed. We easily cut half of the questions, including the XBLA Hard Drive marriage problem.
We'll get him next time :)

I don't want to hear Dustin whine about the price on anything anymore.
This is a guy who is such a skinflint that he won't shell out five bucks for an XBLA game. I don't need to hear his opinion on prices, because I know that he thinks EVERYTHING costs too much.
The gumballs at the cornershop cost too much for this guy.

I just got a chance to listen to it now, and seriously, I'm glad Dustin actually gave him a piece of his of mind.
I'm an xbox fan, but David Dreger seriously just sucked their dick the whole show.

Really nice show, I enjoyed it when doing fitness yesterday. Regarding that, maybe it's possible to do dynamic compression on the audio, so that everything sounds equally loud (aside from the clipping from that one mic)?
