Outro: WLA Announcement

[Cursor]

Still listening to the 'cast--

Saying things are 'gay' is pretty immature--You guys are old enough now that you should talk like adults, not 7th graders. Thanks for addressing this nagging annoyance.

[FriskyTanuki]

Wombat said something like "too long" regarding MGS games, which I found interesting considering his Oblivion addiction. What were you trying to say when you got cut off, Wombat?

I was surprised that you didn't really seem to enjoy Resistance or Virtua Tennis 3, which I enjoyed quite a bit at E3. The online E3 demo for Resistance was simple CoD/UT-like multiplayer fun. You didn't get to see Ninja Gaiden Sigma around the show?

It seems like Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey are blurring together for you, Cheapy, as I heard you call Blue Dragon "Blue Odyssey" while talking about the combat system. Maybe you were sicker than you thought.

Thanks for answering the questions on the show. Good show. No contest?

I think the guys need to watch last weeks episode of the Office.

[evanft]

MGS games too long? WTF? I mean seriously, how the fuck can you play a MGS game and think it's too long?

[Bazz]

Awesome show I can't believe I won contest thanks so much.

[Z-Saber]

Any WLA action?

[pop311]

I'm so pissed I didn't win. Great show though

[youruglyclone]

WLA huh... guess that's why a lot of avatars have doo-rags over their mouths

also congrats on the new job Wombat!

The cutscenes are too long for me is what I was trying to say. Thanks

[chodax]

posting for contest!! didnt have time to listen to it yet :(

[Hunter and friends]

GAY.

Can't help but be a little disappointed in this show, just because I had already scoured the internet for all the TGS information over the weekend. It's not that the show was bad, but I already knew most of this information by Saturday. It was still a good podcast, but lost some points for being so late, IMO.

Hope you feel better soon Cheapy.

[hufferstl]

Nice Cag, helps me get through my day at work. thanks.

Viva WLA!!! Good luck with the new job Wombat!

[shipwreck]

posting for contest!! didnt have time to listen to it yet :(

We can tell, since there was no contest.

I like both the F.E.A.R. and Fuzion Frenzy demos and I buy the old ass arcade games on XBLA. I guess it's a good thing that I didn't enlist in the WLA.

[Qslugs]

Hey I heard that comment about licensing of music for your shows during one of your previous shows. I have a thought, why not have a contest to have your listeners submit creations of their own for your theme song? After all sound software is cheap (cheap ass software if you will) and many people have access to this software constantly making their own creations. If you can get something cool sounding, consistently played before all your shows, it would even help with the branding and recognition of your show. Some of the other podcasts have their own themes, no reason why you cant as well.

Doh! I guess I should take Cheapy off my ignore list.

[DesertEagleXIX]

While there is Camp Zama, about 40kilos away from Toyko, don't forgot the 6

While the Army has a presence in Japan at Camp Zama, you can't forgot my beloved Corps in Okinawa, Fuji, and Iwakuni!!! To mention the army and forgot the Marines makes me a sad Panda.

MGS games too long? WTF? I mean seriously, how the fuck can you play a MGS game and think it's too long?
Cause most movies only last 2-3 hours. ;)

[Wolfgame]

erm :-/ something about this show didnt seem complete, it was almost like both cheapy and wombat simply werent interested in doing a show this week but decided to throw one together.

I've never really been disapointed in the shows ive heard but both of you sounded preoccupied and imo, it seemed to create a pretty boreing mood.

[JohnnyDrama]

Pretty good show this week, but not as good as previous CAGcasts. Still enjoyed it though, keep up the good work.

[jkam]

Cheapy you sounded pretty unenthusiastic about all the PS3 stuff....I know it's still really early but the whole more of the same does look pretty boring at this point. MGS4 does look pretty sweet though.

Wombat congrats on the new job. You should have announced your resignation by pissing in the milk! Wait until they start drinking their coffee...today is my last day and oh by the way the milk in your coffee is 100% sour. :)

Thanks for the cast always fun.

[Richlough]

Posting from my laptop , downloading the CAGcast to my desktop [where all my iTunes music and podcasts are stored] .
Can't wait to listen .

[ArthurDigbySellers]

Even with SARS, Cheapy still delivers. Congrats on the new job Wombat! The WLA is already benefiting you.

[SolidSeminole]

Digging the cast, guys! Gotta cut them some slack for it not sounding as exciting as other casts.. hope you are getting better, there Cheapy. Big ups for Wombat.. congrats on the new job man. WLA in the house! One day I will get an avatar to put a bandana on.

Edit: Solid show, under the circumstances. Always an entertaining listen...

learn 2 read ass

[Mr Unoriginal]

learn 2 read ass

How can you read an ass?

[whoknows]

How can you read an ass?
Well, it all depends what it looks like. Is it big? Small? Red? White? Black? Purple?

There are many characteristics that help you read an ass, its all very scientific.

Do I read it after or before I kick it?

[orangemage]

good stuff

[halu102]

Haha, that was a good show. Hope you get better Cheapy D. And that WLA IS starting to scare me.

[Z-Saber]

Do I read it after or before I kick it?I initially thought you said "lick."

[sinewav]

Good show, wish I was at TGS06 enjoying the overcrowded show along with late night ramen and kareoke.

Glad to see growing support for Wombat (and CheapyD), I'm quite happy with the CAGcast format and hope to see it last. Viva la Revolution WLA!!

[Temporaryscars]

So many obscure references, so little time.

Great stuff, as always.

[FriskyTanuki]

The cutscenes are too long for me is what I was trying to say. Thanks
Ahh, I can somewhat understand that. While most of the cutscenes are fine and interesting in Snake Eater, there are just some that try to give some political background to the story that are just unbelievably boring and couldn't end soon enough.

Cause most movies only last 2-3 hours. ;)
Actually, it does last about 2-3 hours. Not bad for a "movie."

[jakescape53]

good show as usual. While I was listening my mom walked in and asked who the woman on the podcast was (she was referring to wombat :lol:).

[allyourblood]

oh snap!

[Scobie]

Thanks for working through the illness and bringing us a show, Cheapy. Thanks also for indulging the WLA and "getting it." Play plenty of Dr. Mario and get well soon!

And to Wombat -- VIVA!!! Congrats (again) on the new job! Glad to hear you're still basking in the glory of the WLA! We're in this for the long haul! And even if we disappear, the oppressors should know that we'll be ready to rise up again.

Anyway, bummer about the PS3 and 360 stuff. Are Sony and MS just gonna hand this thing to Nintendo then?

[kelso]

good job guys

[bobthecat23]

hey how the fuck does that guy have a fucking zune i want one soo bad btw great show wombat rules!!! thats soo gay

[Ikohn4ever]

nice

[Trakan]

Cheapy sounded very tired in this episode. He kept calling it "Blue Odyssey" :lol:

[ramatut4001]

Great show as always. Viva la WLA! Never sniff the cream again!

[KaneRobot]

I've called it/them "Blue Odyssey" myself a few times.


Still listening to the 'cast--

Saying things are 'gay' is pretty immature--You guys are old enough now that you should talk like adults, not 7th graders. Thanks for addressing this nagging annoyance.

That's a pretty gay thing to be bothered about.

I like how you put the "pressure" on the show by prematurely thanking them for not doing it anymore though - that always works.

[6669]

I'm just posting for the contest entry

[Mike23]

Good show.

[2Fast]

I liked the show as always. I can't believe that I've actually listened to all 45 of them. The WLA guy sounds old enough to be my dad.

[atomsk]

WTF Cheapy? The PS3 is totally upgradable. You can get the card reader, wifi, bigger HDD later on. I don't know why anyone would want those things, but you CAN upgrade it. The tard pack isn't retarded at all. It's the "basic" pack, while the other is the "needlessly fancy" pack.

[zewone]

I didn't really like this show. With Cheapy sick, there was too much Wombat.

Hope you fell better soon Chappy.

[thorbahn3]

Wasn't feeling this one. It was pretty much CheapyD being annoyed over TGS . Dare I say CheapyD has become jaded? As for the whole "Gay" thing, I don't like it. The reason why is you go on to say rascist stuff like "the 'tard system."
Either all of it is ok or none of it is.

[zewone]

retards aren't a race.

[AshesofWake]

you guys need more gay

[PlanetXpress]

Considering that Cheapy had cold & prob. felt like shit, I think it was a pretty good show. I enjoyed the report from TGS, & have MS really given up on the Japanese market, you'd think so, & no beer??

Anyway, the 'gagcast' was just a typo, doh! Won't make that mistake again:)

[Darknyss]

pick me pick me!!

[Brak]

Listeneded.

[soliddragon]

Burping at a Minute 3.

Gimmie contest winnings!

[Tybee]

Good show, though Cheapy sounded beat. TGS sounded like a bust. Get down wit' yo bad self, Wombat.

Hearing that Zelda sound toy was like a dagger in my heart, because I know that Bazz owns it now. :(

That's a pretty gay thing to be bothered about.

Did you listen to the podcast? Cursor wasn't bringing it up out of the blue. The guys specifically addressed this issue and Cheapy said he agreed that using the term "gay" as a synonym for "lame" was pretty stupid. Of course, they then proceeded to riff on this discussion for the rest of the show, but at that point they were just being irreverent.

I happen to agree with Cursor. Whether you find it offensive or just immature, it's annoying. I hadn't really noticed them using the term that way much in the past, but apparently somebody did. I used to listen to a DS-specific podcast that I kicked to the curb at the exact moment they spent 15 minutes explaining that "ghey" was different than "gay" and it was just a "technical term" they used (constantly) and people were silly to get offended. Whatever. :roll:

Oh, and this discussion has absolutely no bearing on the entertainment quotient of Hard Gay.

[daphatty]

Decent show. Cheers to Wombat for "keepin it real." Jeers to Cheapy for censoring himself.

Sorry people, but there IS a such thing as being "so gay" or "too gay." Problem is, you have to be heterosexual to truly understand that it has nothing to do with your sexual preference/orientation. Maybe he should have used "too flamboyant" to describe the game character's behavior. Then again, perhaps not.

I agree that "too flamboyant" would have been a good way to go in that discussion. But we're talking more about using "gay" interchangably with "lame" or "stupid," as in "The design of the PS3 is so gay."

[Abalistar]

Solid cast, I'm mostly just posting because I want one of those damn toys. :-x

[apokalipze2]

Good show

[Richlough]

I quit watching 'The Flintstones' , because they used the word gay in their theme song .
How dare they use the word gay when not referring to homosexuals in a positive way .
They've been getting away with it for practically 40 years !!

http://www.gasolinealleyantiques.com/images/Ramp%20Walkers%20Page/rw-fred.jpg

We're here !
We're homophobes !
Get used to it !

:roll: I am heterosexual & I find the term offensive. Gay is used almost exclusively to mean Gay people today, & describing something lame as gay is the same as saying being gay is lame - there isn't any grey area. I reckon you just think it doesn't mean gay people because it's used so much. You could apply your reasoning to any number of terms which (thankfully) aren't used now.

I never said anyone had to like Gay people, & if you wanna be a homophobe fine, just so long as you are just as happy to wear your racism or being a sexist git-ism (as examples) as a badge of honour, then all power to you. I'd just prefer it that bigots keep their bigotry to themselves & treat other people with the respect they'd like to be treated with.

Don't worry, I'm sure everybody is already used to homophobes.

You are an overly sensitive person .
Everybody doesn't have to stop doing something because you're offended .

Thank you , for being what's a major problem with society today .

If you want to debate with the big boys, at least say something meaningful.

[encendido5]

Good show guys. I for one enjoyed the TGS walkthrough, though not enough Wii coverage. Was it really almost non-existent with only 3rd party stuff?

How about some video game sound effects for the different segments?

[Billservo]

I've actually heard people use "gay" as in lame way more often lately. Its use seems so commonplace - and never in a homopohobic context - that I never get the impression it is being used to consciously bash homosexuality...

Oh, and...
How about some video game sound effects for the different segments?
Please, no. I've rarely heard a podcast that does this well.

[The-Bavis]

I'm posting so I can win one of those hetero toys.

Hetero show, guys. Keep up the good work.

[MrWazeleski]

Good game Cheapy & Wombat

[Kendal]

It was a good show. Could have used a little less crying from listeners, that was totally gay, but the rest was good. Get well Cheapy, I am fighting off my awesome sinus infection that almost made my doctor puke. Congrats on the new job Wombat. Can't wait for the next episode.

[RudyPants]

Posting for the contest ... AND just a thought on the whole gay situation:

"We're here, we're queer, we don't want anymore bears!"

Think about it...

[AK85]

Great Show.

Wombat must have hit the extra funny button for this cast, he had quite a few one-liners.

[PlumeNoir]

Great Show.

Wombat must have hit the extra funny button for this cast, he had quite a few one-liners.

I thought Wombat was pretty "on" as well. I would guess that switching jobs totally changed his state of mind.

Not to beat the "half-and-half" horse, but I was telling my wife about Wombat's job plight. She said it sounded a lot like my job. Then it occurred to me that I was following Wombat's job with the same interest she follows celebrity gossip sites.

I call that a moment of clarity...

[McBacon]

Wombat was hilarious in this cast, keep it up!

[mik]

"Lame" is a very able-ist term. As a person with prosthetic legs, I find it offensive.

[FurryCurry]

Why couldn't Cheapy get Wombat some plane tickets to come to Tokyo?

And Ramen is the equivilent to chesse burger and fries? I just don't see how the two even compare.

[Shokti]

Calling things GAY is fun. I don't care if it hurts peoples feelings, because their feelings probably get hurt if their mom doesn't cut the crust off their sandwiches. RE-fucking-LAX already. You'll live longer.

[CorporalJackson]

no new CaG cast?
