OH YEEEEAH SON, THE XTIVAL! YEEEEAH! YEEEEEEAAAAAH!
Except of course, Xtival is rubbish every single year, which is what I am sure we will say when The Podcastle records tomorrow. We shall indeed talk about Xbox Live's European Xtival, which is supposed to be some massive event but nearly always boils down to a free, slightly crap Xbox theme. We'll also find some other garbage to talk about, I'm sure.
As ever, we need your questions and comments because it saves us filling the last half hour of the show ourselves. If you have something to say, speak now or forever your hold your pease pudding.

Consider the lily of the field. Aaaaah.
2. If you had to make Bionic Bommand multiplayer more generic, how would you go about it.
Also, is Ashley Davis Anthony's sister (HAWP Girl) or someone else entirely? I'm pretty new to Destructoid so I'm really confused.
Also also, HAWP Girl sounds like a superhero spin-off.
If you could go back in time and prevent any game or game franchise from being created which would it be and why?
If one console were to emerge victorious from the console wars/shite economy/moneygeddon/whatever, leaving the others bust. Which would you prefer it to be and why?
iPhone games
yea or nae?
And how freaking awesome is Plants vs Zombies?!
ZOMBIEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
(I'm basically giving you a chance to make fun of Canada. Mocking Canadians is essential to our national identity)
I took the train home that weekend to where my connected Xbox resides, specifically so I could check out my upgraded free gold subscription. I was greeted by the sense of wondering as to why the hell this Xvital thing didn't work, and an explanation video thing which crashed my Xbox! Good for me!
And that's the story of how I became mildly annoyed this weekend...
Related question: do you play games with story progression or unlockable content more because of this?
On a side note which game would be better if it was voiced with a British accent?
I know it didn't help her beat CrocBox...
>_>
Also, on the topic of British critics, have you noticed the similarities in presentational style between Charlie Brooker (acerbic ranty British TV critic) and Yahtzee (acerbic ranty British) games critic) ?
Also, if Bill Cosby had a game, what kind of game would it be? (RPG, Platformer, etc.)
For FUCK's sake...
Also could you each try doing impressions of eachother? I think that would be rather chortleworthy. Cheerio.
Jim, since you have a stepson, which we can all safely assume you already sexually abuse, I demand Jimpressions on the matter.
Will there ever be a next xbox?
digital downloads of full game can be cumbersome for the average user. added to the fact that not everywhere has a great broadband service.
Also microsoft wouldnt want a blu ray player in there xbox and playstation probably wont give them one.
wouldnt developers want more space to play with rather than be restricted?
will the next xbox be a wii clone?
what you guys opinion like blud?
I want bill cosby and steve urkel on the show, would that be possible?
