(http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3348&Itemid=2)Hey creeps I gave you your first review on the Canadian iTunes site. It is a 1 star review. I was kinda enjoying your podcast (it's no Major Nelson but it was ok) until one of you started talking about your porn collection. Your mother must be ashamed of you. Do you have any idea how harmful porn is to the way we think about women? Who admits to watching porn anyway? "Hello look at me i'm a creep" Shameful. And absolutely no warning that the content is for adults only. Y'all are damn lucky my kid didn't listen to that. People like you need to be taken out like so much garbage.New releases (http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/42927)

good podcast, killed an hour trying to get all this code down.

hopefully wombat gets his xbox 360 back soon.

[Temporaryscars]

Great show! Cloning Clyde is great. More of a platformer than a puzzle game. I was hoping you guys got a chance to play it so you could say what you thought about it, guess i'll have to wait until the next show.

[menikmati]

...need....more...nerd...points...

[gunm]

fun listen. i could've done with less belching, though.

of course next episode will end up with more belching.

and damn if i would've accepted that free DC w/games. or any free retro console for that matter. space be damned!

[radjago]

You've got to use this for an upcoming CAGcast:

[Temporaryscars]

Holy eyesockets.

[Apossum]

Who admits to watching porn anyway? "Hello look at me i'm a creep" Shameful.

:rofl: he's saying he watches porn but doesn't admit to it. otherwise, he'd say "who watches porn anyway?"

[Sad Turtle]

wombat i have to agree xbox reps and all the same they dont know anything every time i call them the say let me get my supervisor and they also disconnect me

[Ivanhoe]

Good show.

Speaking of resident evil 4 and not reading the manual.

I had no clue until after i beat the game that you could combine the plants for a MAX health increase!!!!!!!

first time through i had hardly any health !!.

second time it was a breeze as i combined the plants everytime i got them.

PS. DONT SHOOT THE SHOPKEEPER :-( he doesnt come back!!

[anomynous]

I like cloning clyde

[Michaellvortega]

I still don't know why some people like Wombat had problems with Xbox customer service. I took down all the names of people I spoke to and the times I called. I was taken care of in a very timely matter. I was at least happy that I got a American/Canadian on the phone. Nothing better then "Frank" with his deep Arabic accent telling me to unplug the unit and wait 5 mins. Good luck with your 360 Wombat!

[manthing]

Did Wombat worl on the Stern show pre-Sirius and that caused his unemployment?

Probably worked on the "jokey" pre-recorded bits?(Did Stern have these?)

[ZForce915]

Another good show guys. You didn't answer my CAGBag question, but that is ok...just don't open that unmarked package in your mail. :evil:

[Tybee]

Hey Steve from Canada: Steve from America says kiss my big white pucker.

Good show. I think Wombat should use "moot" in every show from now on, in any way he chooses. My preference? Use it like "smurf," interchanging it for random parts of speech, e.g., "Steve from Canada likes to moot goats."

Finger Trap.

[thorbahn3]

It was alright this week. I find it funny you read the too much xbox 360 question and then continue talking about the system. Also CheapyD should change his name to CreepyD for Steve.

[FriskyTanuki]

Another cut-off ending, you guys seems quite good at doing that. ;)

The criticism from the Candian religious nut was great. That and Wombat's continuing adventures with the Microsoft CS made the show. I've dealt with crappy CS, so I can feel for Wombat's troubles, though I think his troubles trump mine easily.

[Ikohn4ever]

good show guys, maybe people can send in mp3 version of their questions?

[Wombat]

good show guys, maybe people can send in mp3 version of their questions?

great idea, I say go for it, email me or cheapy

wombat@cheapassgamer.com

[Temporaryscars]

I keep hearing you guys are going to start having guests...so where it at?!

[Mattte]

Great show, but as for GotY for second half (or even all year), how about Twilight Princess, I'm calling GotY on it.

[Michaellvortega]

I 2nd "where are the guests?". I bet Major Nelson would do a interview for you guys since you love xbox 360 so much. :)

[MaskedPlague]

What was that audio clip after the Neo Geo commercial? I feel like I missed something...

[Temporaryscars]

I'd love it if you could get that guy Cheapy said he met at E3. Ya know...the one who got kicked out for asking so many questions about VP.

[Mattte]

Also,

that is all.

[wageslave]

Nice show guys. Some constructive criticism:

1) I miss the weird stories about Japan (such as the shit eating and guitar hero showdown). I know it’s a videogame podcast, but I feel many of us on CAG are fascinated by cheapies stay in Japan – especially since Japan is where many of our favorite games are made, the home of Animae, cool cell phones, awful gangsta shirts, etc. I’m from the suburbs in the south rather than NYC and that makes stories about a large Japanese City all the more interesting for me. Throw us a few anecdotes!

2) The burping did start to get old. It’s funny like the first time but then it gets juvenile IMO. First time listeners might be turned off and not give you a chance. Maybe it’s better to edit it out (along with the F bomb) if you have to.

3) I loved the lead in!

4) I feel like you talked about that douche bag from Canada too much. It’s a given that you’ll get crazies and retards emailing you. I think giving them more than a passing reference and especially calling them by name (Steve from Canada or whatever) just gives them more cred. I’d rather you spend the time on cagbag.

5) This weeks cagcast was good but seemed a little dry, but Wombat’s X-Box escapades were great – keep that up! I say throw in some Japan anecdotes and give less time talking about things like Steve from Canada and you’ll be good. It must be hard since Wombat can’t play any 360 Games and games aren’t really being released for any other system. Maybe talk more about your all time favorites and why you like them, like Wombat did about RE 4?

I give it 4/5 stars :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:

Wageslave:

Thanks for the feedback, you make some good points there, also those are clappy faces not stars ;)

[youruglyclone]

What was that audio clip after the Neo Geo commercial? I feel like I missed something...

if you mean the turbografix 16 commerical commerical, that was a clip from an internet radio show cheapyD was on a while back and one of his friends named Dan more or less prankcalled the show.

and yeah Daxter is voiced by the same guy who was doogie howser's best friend...and tony soprano's driver, his name is max casella or something like that.

[Temporaryscars]

Wombat, let me know if you plan on visiting the Hudson Valley, that way I can buy a shirt before you get here and "mistakenly" bump into you.

[KaneRobot]

Best moment of this week:

"Weren't YOU paying attention? SHEIIIIIT."



In regards to some of the suggestions above, wacky Japanese stories are fine, but no more shit-eating stuff. I have to moderate on YTMND, I see enough gross stuff throughout the day already. Usually I listen to the show during my lunch break at work, so the shit-eating stories don't mesh too well with, say, very brown and squishy looking Taco Bell stuff.

[Tha Xecutioner]

Just now able to completely listen to the CAGcast, another quality show. Good job guys.

[CheapyD]

Yeah, one day we will have a guest...

Anyway, we are up to 90 reviews in iTunes....almost at the magic number!

[panasonic]

I come for the deals, and listen for the poop that is called Cagcast. :P Its great shit indeed. 10/3

[Grave_Addiction]

Dude, you could combine herbs in Resident Evil 1. Where the hell have you been?

[gmoney1234567890]

Thought it was great. Great to hear you using "Avenue Q" for the opening.

[Cao Cao]

almost at the magic number!
...93?

I totally agree !!
