Ever wondered who could give Lee such a hard time? Introducing, Ruby - Lee's youngest daughter!
Ruby is a great Overwatch player - even beating her dad, and is starting to dip into game streaming and Let's Plays on YouTube! Now we finally find out who has been getting all of Lee's achievements - the truth comes out. No more day-time achievements for Lee since Ruby got her own Xbox. And he's a little bit gutted about it...
Give Ruby a follow on Xbox, and check out her stuff on Mixer, soon to be YouTube!
Because Ruby. Is. Awesome!
PS: Since the recording of this podcast, Ruby has changed her gamertag. No longer Ruby Is Aw3som3, she is now known as Bronti_Rose. Give her a follow on Xbox. And she'll probably beat you in Overwatch at some stage.

All the way from the land of drop-bears and bouncy boxers, Jeremy is back!
Jeremy was our very first Patreon, and without his support and belief in us, we probably wouldn't be nearly as 'good' as we are now. His feedback has helped shape the podcast over the years. Its a pleasure to have him as our first international guest.
Thanks to the wonders of Skype, and being alive at the same time, we get to hear his adventures in Seriko: Shadows Die Twice. Add to the fact that Jeremy and Simone then decided to play a cat dating simulator, and we have a very weird mix of whats happening in this reality. Oh, and we also chat about Forza Horizon 4... It seems young Jeremy has been busy.
If you're looking to follow to someone who thinks about games, takes awesome photos, and is all around a top chap, give Jeremy a follow over on the Twitters. Oh, and follow him on Xbox and Twitch under his GamerTag Pythagean too.

We sit down and chat to our very own local Mod and Bot Wrangler - Noel - AKA DarkestShadowNZ!
What does this mysterious force for good have to say about life as a moderator? And do you know, he also mods for some of the biggest New Zealand Streamers too! We take a deep dive into what makes him tick. From his first games and console, all the way to what its really like to mod and everything in between - we grill him on it all!
Thanks Noel, for stepping into the limelight and out of the shadows! We hope you enjoy those stickers we had to bribe you with.
Check Noel out on Twitter, Xbox and Mixer!
PS: Please note Simone's new gamertag. Shes super excited, so tweet at her to tell her its super awesome!

Welcome to 2020!
Our Holiday Special's kick off with us talking to a long time fan and none time listener - Lee (AKA Purk3y Turk3y).
He has been on a few of our past streams before, so we're super excited to welcome him back.
In this special #GameFace style episode we chat about what we've been playing - everything from The Outer Worlds and Sea of Thieves to even Rocket League. We even ask him where the heck the name Puk3y Turk3y comes from... You may want to sit down for this wild ride!
Also, we are super hyped about the Series X and cant help but ask a few questions to an unsuspecting Lee.
If you like what you hear, and what to know about this very strange fellow, follow him on Twitter! We can promise you you wont regret it.

Joining us today is Marc from Red Scar Publishing which is publishing a tabletop RPG and a board game called Devil's Run - Mad Max meets dice rolling. And he has even won an ENnie! We are in the presence of greatness.
We get hyped about The Outer Worlds, and other Game Awards announcements, before putting Marc on the spot and asking him all the odd and strange questions. From getting Marc to explain a lot about Devil's Run and why its set up to use a 2d20 system. But our questions don't end there!
With Marc being an old friend of Lee, we learn all about Murphs Peanut Church. Which, maybe we should have cut. But we didnt. So enjoy!
Mac joins us over Skype, so please excuse the echo - we're still getting used to these remote interview/conversation type things...

The Xboxcast Present: A Conversation With Josh
For our March Special, we chat to Josh, who is long time friend of Jordan, and certainly knows his stuff.
Josh is super knowledgeable about all things gaming, and it was a pleasure to talk to him. From Elite Dangerous, Monster Hunter World, For Honor and Halo, we cover exactly how many hours he's played. And lets just say that you will be surprised. And jealous. He's inspired at least one member of The Xboxcast to devote more time to crashing spaceships in Elite Dangerous.
Josh comes all the way from Wellington and you can stalk him on Xbox Live at Srgnt Kingsley.

The Xboxcast Presents: A Conversation With Merv

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.

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.
