Click here to watch (http://www.bloomberg.com/avp/avp.htm?T=default&clipSRC=mms://media2.bloomberg.com/cache/vt94tLRJOHkQ.asf).

You can check out my previous appearances here (http://www.youtube.com/profile_video_blog?user=CheapyD).

I'll be back on Bloomberg TV, talking about the video game industry at 6:30pm EST Sunday night (11/12/06). I can't guarantee that it will be shown in America, but I checked the Bloomberg TV schedule (http://www.bloomberg.com/tvradio/tv/schedule_us_sunday.html) and the odds seem good.

Made the front page of Bloomberg.com (http://www.bloomberg.com)!

Actually, I'll be speaking about my new pasta sauce named "Cheap 'n' Tangy", coming soon to a supermarket near you.

I'm not actually sure what I'll be speaking about. All I've been told is "PS3 and the gaming industry".

if it does air I guess I will cap it (this time quality should be better since I got s-vid input set up rather than composite), and of course if it doesn't air the chatroom will have a lot of confused CAGers going nuts. fun either way

hey Cheapy good shit man.

just advice from someone who has dealt with these kind of assholes in the past, a "thanks for having me" will get others to want to have you on their stations.

The thing is in 2 days and they haven't told you'll be speaking about? That doesn't give you much of an opportunity to prepare. I always thought when you did these things you at least got the questions in advance. Anyways, I'm sure whatever they want you talk about you'll do fine. You know your shit, Cheapy.

CheapyD

11-10-2006, 07:16 PM

I always thought when you did these things you at least got the questions in advance.. Never. Last time they asked me to prepare some topics for converstation and I did. However, they didn't use any of them. I did the same this time...we shall see.

Good morning, or good evening depending on what side of the world you are on. I've just a wonderful breakfest of yogurt and a banana and am about to jump in the shower.

I think I will wear a suit for this appearance as I think it is more in keeping with the Bloomberg style (and I've run out of nice shirts).

botticus

11-12-2006, 06:33 PM

Nice suit. Too bad you got that tool interviewing you again. Remember you can view the stream on their website.

Did they start that well before 6:30, or was that just an exceptionally short bit?

ratzombie

11-12-2006, 06:45 PM

I guess I missed it. Ah well, I'll wait for a youtube or something.

Good job, Cheapy. These just keep getting better and better. Next time I expect a top hat and tails. Maybe Amazon will pay for it since you're throwing names around. :)

And boy does that guy like to shuffle papers and pound away at his keyboard.

"Cagcast CEO" - very nice, I love how the title changes each time. I think that one's the keeper though.

youruglyclone

11-12-2006, 07:42 PM

amazon will see a lot more pre-orders from now on....

is it just me but does the suit give CheapyD the whole "Lex Luthor (circa: Paul Dini's Adventures or Superman)" vibe

Good job cheapy, I love how you said "motion control controllers" like Cartman did.

lol i have no clue what they guy was referring to.

The paper shuffling was really annoying. And why is it this guy seems real twitchy? Like hes got ants in his pants or just really wants to get this segment over with. Just seems odd.

Cheapy needs his own 15min segment. Throw wombat in there too.

shipwreck

11-12-2006, 09:04 PM

It means the "Video Games Space". People in the financial world often refer to different sectors of business as "spaces".

Cheapy's been holding out on us with his Tokyo-based online game retailer. :bomb: You did a good job considering the interviewee you had to deal with. You seemed a little nervous, possibly because of the lack of preparation for the show, maybe?

I was waiting for that guy to start gnawing on his pencil while asking questions. :lol:

radjago

11-13-2006, 10:11 PM

It seemed like this segment went a lot smoother than the last one. The guy looked like he was actually paying attention to your responses.

Why would he?

I like the other interviewer, there's something about this guy that I find annoying.

Sorry, I LOLZ @ your intro, "Chief Executive of a Tokyo-based Online Game Retailer".

You should've corrected him by saying, "No sir, I'm the Uber-chief executive badass and complete pwner of the fabulously successful cheap ass gamer website...ahthankuverimuch".

Could dude be less informed and interested in you or video games. Nice suit though Cheapy.

And boy does that guy like to shuffle papers and pound away at his keyboard.

Thats the damned truth. "uh uh I hear you like vida games David uh uh so sony making money on the PS3?"

Cheapy: "No they're losing $200 on each console. All I can say is

PS3 comes with ALL the bells and whistles, as opposed to the Wii or Xbox 360 which only come with some of the bells and none of the whistles.

Really good job. You articulated your responses really well and they seemed well thought out.

The one thing I noticed was that it looked like you didn't swallow often enough and you eventually had to take big gulps of saliva a few times.

Yeah, he does that a lot. It can be a little distracting, but whatever.

He handles himself on camera better than I could ever do.

smellytim

11-14-2006, 04:12 AM

Was that interviewer flapping paper around or crumpling paper balls in front of the mike? I kept hearing tons of paper noises whenever the camera went off of him. also he was banging on the desk waiting for cheapy to finish talking a couple times. He could care less whats going on as long as the camera stays on him and he doesnt have to talk more about "electronic video thingies"

Great job Cheapy. Seems like they're on their way to giving you credit for the right things. Little by little though.

bmulligan

11-14-2006, 08:19 AM

Cheapy, you should just change the name of the site to cheap "A" gamer. Ya know, like playing your "A" game as in the sports world. That way you could at least get it mentioned more frequently to drive traffic.

Everyone here already knows it stands for ass, and none of us would fault you for bending over for "The Man" to scrape up a little extra cash.

11-14-2006, 08:58 AM

Way to go Cheapy on another great interview. Your guest appearances keep getting better & better.

That was annoying. Was he working on another news story or something?

I think the suit looked pretty sharp. Good job as always, keep up the good work!

Between the suit and the evenly paced responses, I’d say you out-professional-ed the paper shuffling host. And concerning said suit: your new moniker should be SwankyD! :D

CheapyD, you did a great job, I'm really impressed. You looked great [the suit with tie was a nice touch] & you obviously have a feel on the industry. With interviews like that, you're sure to keep moving on up the foodchain!

ps just a thought, as you get bigger with more TV interviews, maybe a name change isn't a bad idea. Maybe ask the CAG user base for their collective opinion.

At any rate, very nice job.

Tybee

11-14-2006, 01:21 PM

I also agree with the name change when you get even bigger because outlets like Bloomberg seem to avoid the name "Cheap Ass Gamer." Maybe you could name it simply: CAG. It would kinda be like IBM, IGN, or SEGA. Only the hardcore remember what the initials stand for because the letters themselves have become the name itself (International Business Machines, Imagine Games Network, and Service Games).

Don't forget KFC, who also changed their name in an attempt to get people to forget what that middle letter stands for.

My favorite part of the segment, as others have said, was when the interviewer (obviously not paying attention) asked, "Is it going to be substantial riches that the PS3 brings to the company?" and Cheapy basically replied "Oh HELL to the NO!"

youruglyclone

11-14-2006, 01:51 PM

Don't forget KFC, who also changed their name in an attempt to get people to forget what that middle letter stands for.

wow didn't know they actually changed the name to de-ephasize the unhealthy aspects...I always thought it was the whole "beakless birds" thing

Tybee

11-14-2006, 02:06 PM

wow didn't know they actually changed the name to de-ephasize the unhealthy aspects...I always thought it was the whole "beakless birds" thing

Yup. Back in the late 80s, early 90s when everything was going low fat, it didn't really help their image that their middle name reminded people that everything sold there was basically soaked in fat. So they simply went to initials. And the sad thing is it worked. Within a year of the change, their profits went up and their public image improved in customer surveys. It's a textbook case for marketing folks.

Damn, I meant to mention this on the cagcast but I forgot.

It doesn't seem to matter what company name I tell them, they manage to screw it up anyway. I've told them if they don't want to run the "Ass" to use CAG Productions or CAGcast Video Game Podcast. The funny thing is that this time, the producer said they were going to use "Cheap Ass Gamer".

Oh well, I'm just happy to be there and I appreciate the opportunity.

All in all it was a pretty good interview... you could kind of tell though that the host could give a shit less about the topic at hand; he seemed to have a list of questions that he had to ask, and that he couldn't branch away from them.

Awesome job on your part, though.
