Xbox 360 Fancast 081 -- Pacifism is a Strange Word

Filed under: Podcasts

This week on the Xbox 360 Fancast we have a very special guest, none other than Matthew McCarthy, the writer of "Geometry Wars Will Be the Death of Me." You may recognize him better as "that dude that wrote the Geometry Wars song." We probe Matt's mind and discover what inspired the song and we even play the new full band version of his song. Of course we also have our usual news and even an X08 report from Xav. Give the show a listen and enjoy.

Also, don't forget to check out the X3F Fancast Defense Force Podcast, made by some of our most stalwart fans.

Thanks to Stuart Harper for the image!

We Zune users roll deep son, you don't want none.

Fucking apple zombies.

@ ZenGaijin

mmmm, brains.

zune lovers may 'roll deep' but you're out numbered 15 to 1.. i love my 360 because works perfectly with my ipods (plural) and my macbook and its the only m$ product allowed in my house; i know ps3 owners arent so lucky..

the grass is definitely greener on this side and really, who can resist good brains?
