The Xboxcast Presents: A Conversation With Merv
This week, we talk to a long-time friend and old colleague of Producer Paul’s. Merv worked at EB Games in Hastings and has some exciting stories to tell about the Gears Of War launch, dressing up in full camo and even pre-ordering $4,000 worth of games.
We start off with some news as things are already ramping up in the world of gaming and Lee has been feeling a bit sad with missing his slot.
Find Merv on Xbox Live as ArtfulDodger619.

Our first podcast of 2018 brings a very rusty Xboxcast.
These holidays might have been a little too good. While we struggle to get back into the groove, we yell questions at our special guest – Jeremy.
Jeremy is a proud owner of an Oculus Rift and has spent many hours in VR, so it a was great opportunity to talk about the technology and where it could be going.
If you like what you hear, follow Jeremy on his blog at Pythagean on Wordpress and his Twitter @JeremeyStone7.

For our last podcast of 2017, we have Lee on with us.
You may have heard us mention him as Little Lee or Lieutenant Lee. Lee is new to the Xbox family and new to gaming in general, so his thoughts on Xbox come from a place of 'innocence'...
In a first, The Xboxcast all had more than one beer, so things got a little... excited...
If you like what you hear, follow Lee @Lieutenantlee69 on Twitter and Xbox.

Today we are talking to Jordan.
You may recognize the name - we have spoken about him quite a bit. He's our resident PlayStation fan, our biggest critic and when it comes to old school gaming, Jordan knows more than you and I.

We have good and bad news guys.
First, the good news! This is a very special episode of The Xboxcast we have dubbed "The Awardcast 2017". We are going through and talking about our favourite games for 2017 and what we're looking forward to in 2018. It was so special, we even streamed it live on YouTube! And you can watch it HERE! It provides a look behind the scenes so you can even see how we do what we do. Be sure to let us know what you think!
And now the bad news... This is the final episode of the year as The Xboxcast takes a well deserved break and actually gets to playing some games for a change. BUT! Do not worry, for we will be back in 2018 with season 2, even bigger and better. And to top it all off. We even have some special things planned for your ear holes while we're on break.
Thank you guys so much for making this possible. We hope you enjoyed listening to us and we will be back.
Xboxcast, signing off.

The Xboxcast has no microtransactions, but feel free to give us money anyways!
This week, we discover that a certain game has been using the wrong type of chicken. Can you say scandal? We certainly can! We also talk about Democracy (the game of course) and Simone's talent for being assassinated, True Achievements Christmas Challenge, Blizzard's wonderful shade at EA and CyberPunk 2077 (which would you believe, STILL does not have a release date!)
For the stories we have covered in this episode, please check our website. All the links are there!
