I thought this week's live CagCast was a much better experience than the last in all but one area. That being the audio quality. While the last live show had lag issues, outside of those, the quality was crystal clear. This time however, it sounded as if Wombat was on a respirator.
Cheapy, I'm surprised you missed the fact about Amazon's Wii Remote description. I know your a Cheap Ass Gamer, but you can't pass up something that beams money via bluetooth from 30 feet away, can you?

I can't wait to hear this to see how you fixed the last half hour. I'm going to be up for awhile and had a shitty night so listening to your podcast helps. My car won't start, it has no power, no lights, no radio, nothing. I must have left the lights on and the battery is completely dead. I gotta call my buddy to come take a look. In the meantime I'll listen to your podcast again. :-)

06-07-2007, 08:22 AM
Wow,
You cut out the entire last half hour of madness, thus ripping all the fun out of the show and leaving gaping plotholes. This episode is no longer coherent. For example, you mention that you were sweating and want to end the show, but if you listen to the podcast you don't understand why. Sounds too choppy this way, I think you cut the show down too much, like you're trying to hide something. Why hide it? The truth will set you free...
This sucks I had no idea a live show was going to happen. Cheapy you really should post news like this on the front page. I can't believe I missed this.

I agree with the above. I only visit the site for the CAGcast. It would be nice to listen to it live. I was checking off and on for any sort of news when the show would air, then all of a sudden there is a recorded version up.

i listened to the live broadcast and the mp3, and i think it made perfect sense. there was no gaps and was very coherent.

Same here, it was a great show. The only gap came at the end when Wombat said the next show shouldnt be live. If I hadnt read this explanation of a bad portion of the show being cut out it wouldnt make sense.
Once again great show guys! I am enjoying the podcast more and more every week!

Cheapy and Wombat, why aren't you using GameznFlix.com for videogames?
It is cheap with that coupon found on the message boards.
Only $6.75 for one game out, $9.75 for 2 games out, and $12.95 for 3 games out. Much cheaper than Gamefly.

06-07-2007, 01:35 PM
i think the show got edited a little too much.i think what cheapy should have done is..that he should have left the last 5 seconds where he was left hanging.then shipwreck would come on.I dont know, theres a definite "plothole" missing when he edited and he mentions that he was sweating.People who listened to the mp3 and not the live would have no idea as to what had happened.Good show overall despite the awkwardness.

$10 for a new pacman game is a hard pill to swallow but this game feels just right. I think everyone should at least check out the demo for potentially the best pacman game yet. btw the ps3 dvd upscaling is great, I just rented Pans Labyrinth and I would highly recommend it for all the movie fan CAGS.

If I hadnt read this thread I wouldnt have even thought twice about the sweating comment.
So.. what is all that about?
RyanTheGNR
06-07-2007, 02:16 PM
basically near the end of the cagcast wombat was disconnected from skype and cheapy was left hanging.Wombat couldnt come into contact with cheapy so he(cheapy) was alone for about a minute.this would obviously lead to akwardness.This cannot be heard in the mp3.thus,the comment of cheapy "sweating" would make no sense if you didnt hear it live.

Thanks for reading my comment Cheapy. I do agree that Wombat has been more positive the last two or three CAGcasts. I wasn't hating to hate though. I've listened to 77 CAGcasts before I even made a comment about negativity. I've listened and enjoyed every CAGcast. It was just something I felt I had to say. I do love the CAGcasts it was just the negativity that was erking me. The show is good, and funny. If I only have time to listen to one podcast I'm always going to pick the CAGcast.
I'm so glad I was there to listen to the last half hour meltdown live. :D

06-07-2007, 04:24 PM
I just wanted to say sorry to Wombat. I called in during the Nintendo segment and only said Cheapy's name when I asked if emulators and roms are considered piracy. I meant to address the both of you, Cheapy and Wombat, but I got a little nervous and just addressed Cheapy (also Cheapy’s name was the only thing I saw in my skype). I think you make up half the show Wombat.
Also, Cheapy did not hang up on me, my skype shutdown. My question Cheapy was really more directed towards Nes and Snes emulation. A friend of mine says he only plays roms of older systems (such as Nes, Snes, old arcade, and ect.) and says that downloading games from new systems is piracy. I say since Nintendo, M$, and Sony are offering these exact games, downloading older roms is piracy, what do both of you think?
Just as a contest idea, cags should submit in picture form there best item in their gamming collection. The best one wins whatever prize you guys are offering.
Digg you guys every week, great show.

Good show, this live CAGcast is way better than the last one. It seems most of the technical issues from last time have since been resolved, but still some exist on the other side. I mentioned this in the other thread, but I think having callers use a real phone would resolve the mic issue.
Also, I think this was one of your funniest episodes Cheapy. Some of the comments you made had me rolling.

I can't believe anyone bothers to do a podcast without having so much basic information. Folk Lore indeed has voice acting, contrary to what was said in the latest podcast. All you need to do is check the videos on game trailers to see this. They have English voice overs and all.
jollydwarf
06-07-2007, 05:36 PM
Cheapy and Wombat, please realize: unlike The Howard Stern Show or The Jim Rome Show, the callers are absolutely killing the momentum, not propelling it. I know you want to reach out to and connect with the CAG 'community', but I really don't see 'personalities' materializing out of this endeavor. It's gaming. Even a lot of the industry people and podcast participants are a complete snore. You guys and a handful of others are the exception.
The numbers just ain't with you here. Sorry.
P.S. I'm sure this will turn around the CAG consensus of me, no two ways about it!
P.P.S. I've always been okay with the both of you reading questions submitted by others, as you guys give them life through your natural deliveries, while getting across the valid and occasionally interesting points.

Can you start a thread or reply (thank god they deleted your thread and simply merged it with this thread) that involves something positive for a change? Do you have something Good to say about the latest Cagcast? Are you capable of pointing out something good about the latest Cagcast? Are you the Gene Siskel of the CAG forums? Are you currently studying to be a Critic? WTF?

Cheapy is a GOD of editing
he should put it on his bussness card
Milkyman
06-07-2007, 10:03 PM
Hey Cheapy, you can go get a flash cart and not use it for piracy, you could just put roms of your own games on there so you don't have to juggle carts while you're out about town.
I'd also like to suggest only taking calls from real phones to avoid microphone problems if you can do that. Also, it would be cool if you guys could find out why those Goozex guys chose that name, it sounds like a dirty porn site.
I agree about Cheapy's editing work. Really good stuff, and what he does both in presenting and preparing the show reminds me that not everyone can do an entertaining podcast. (And for his part, Wombat is great as well).
I also want to bump my suggestion of having someone screen the calls beforehand, although the spontenaeity is sometimes rewarding.
Then again, maybe Cheapy likes post-production?
ultrarobotninja
06-07-2007, 10:57 PM
As much as I like the cagcasts I'd have to say this one was the worse one by far, for some reason wombat's voice quality kept going up and down making it sound like alot of parts were edited out even if they werent. The callers really killed the flow of the show, I think the show should go back to the recording format. The show being live isnt doing anything to help its quality, all its done so far is diminish it.

The live shows do seem to present technical and pacing problems that perhaps cannot be overcome. If you want to get the community more involved, a good idea might be to have the old method of submission of questions via forum posts. You could then pick the questions you wanted to address and have the author of the question call in at a specific time and discuss their question. Thus, you would have a much better handle on making sure that the calls are worthwhile and could be handled in a more seamless fashion. Just a thought.

They could have someone who doesn't take part in the actual CAGCAST conversation like mrs wombat or shipwreck screen calls to see if people are actually there with working mics, and make sure they have something relevant to talk about.
jollydwarf
06-08-2007, 12:59 AM
Yes, the CAGCast needs it's "Bababooey" or "Jay-Stew". Someone who isn't afraid to say, "No, you're a bore--goodbye" or "You're a trainwreck waiting in the station, but that's exactly what we want."
And that's just it. Just about everyone that's called in so far has been incredibly 'milquetoast'. It's no surprise, as that's usually the best one can hope for when people talk on Live. Same type, one would assume.
yukine
06-08-2007, 01:48 AM
Maybe someone like shipwreck can do it, like have callers call him and then he would make sure their question or comment is relevant/intelligent and then forward it to Cheapy to accept the call.
Not sure how that would work, as I'm not too familiar with Skype... but yeah.

Are we barking up the wrong tree here, Cheapy? Is the whole goal of having callers on a videogame podcast to play into that supposedly ironic, 'so bad it's good' mentality that seems to permeate so much of what the gaming 'community' is about? I mean, maybe you two already realize that you're not going to get lively, distinct personalities, so why not embrace what's inevitable?
If that's the case, I personally still can't dig (just one "g") it. But I do like how 'short' you are with most, hanging up on them without warning half the time.

The coupon gives you after your first successful trade 100 bonus points & 5 free trade credits
That's basically a free game!
Happy Trading!
p.s. The secret behind the name Goozex will be revealed when the next winner is announced.

CheapyD doesn't have the balls to post the unedited versions of either live show... that's a guarantee. You can tell by the way he edits the show that he doesn't want anyone to hear the mistakes. The result is an edit that's too clean and too fake. The edited version of the live show is a misrepresentation of what actually went down.
And to those who missed it, it was the funniest meltdown *ever*.
I lost the caller.
Wait, I lost another caller.
Hello, are you there?
Wait.
I lost Wombat.
Wombat, Wombat, how sweet the sound!
Hey you, you're the new Wombat.
Wait, Wombat is back...
Wombat reenters 20 minutes later.
Don't blame me, you hung up on me!

Hey guys, enjoyed the show as always this week. Thank god you're now broadcasting live, otherwise we might miss out on all the fine contributions from Thorbahn and...uh, well, yeah. Anyway, I'm just writing in to say that I have sources inside Wombat Headquarters, and my sources have confirmed that the project Major Nelson and Wombat are collaborating on is an off-Broadway production of The Vagina Clown Monologues. Wombat is assisting Major Nelson with putting together the script and is also the Executive Producer in charge of Fax Machine acquisitions. Keep up the good work.

I really don't see how you could not recommend a game just because it is online only, Cheapy. Think about the number of games, priced at full price, that only have online play, but yet still have a massive fanbase. A perfect example is something like Counter-strike. The game, when released at MSRP was full price, and there are plenty of people who play the game. Another example is MMO rpgs. You pay 50 dollars for a game. As if that wasn't enough, you then pay a monthly fee (usually 15 dollars a month) to even play it! And then you get the 30-40 dollar expansions, and people will throw down their money hands down on those expansions.
I am not saying that Shadowrun is a great game, I'm just saying that you shouldn't criticize it so much for being online only.

It does not have the setup/interface of the DS/PSP versions, but it should help you understand the difference between the character cards and the blue/green/grey cards, and how to use them. Always open for advice if anyone needs it.

i'm sorry but thorbahn was a borderline stalking with the calls
I'm sorry, but I find the live shows are an annoying mess. I've listened to every CAGcast since episode 1, but I may be skipping the live shows in the future. The best part of the CAGcast has always been the chemistry between Cheapy and Wombat, adding the call-in segments derails any momentum and natural fluidity that the show normally builds up.
I understand you want to keep the show fresh and doing the same thing every week can sometimes be boring for both listerners and the hosts, but live shows are not the answer.

As usual, I liked the show....Since I'm in the Netherlands I don't listen to the live show, but the edited one is cool too.....anyway, I liked your mentioning of the R4 card for the Nintendo DS.
I know it's obvious people use it to play their downloaded games, but there is so much more to these flashcards than just Piracy.
The best piece of software ever to appear on the DS is Comic Book Reader.....
It's free and is a real nice way to read comics, wherever you are....the comics don't take much space on your flashcard, so even on a long trip you could take dozens of comics with you....http://gnese.free.fr/NDS/ComicBookDS/
a comment to all my fellow CAG buddies on when you call in: don't be nervous and be ready to talk to the guys when they pick up your call. everyone always seems to be completely off-guard when Cheapy picks up their calls.
btw, Castle Crashers is definitely delayed until 2008...sucks...

I was going to stop after the Sony part but they forgot Pac Man and Microsoft did invite Wombat there so he'd talk about it on the show. Then HiredGeek's audio crashed and I was tired of listening to Cheapy trying to get other callers who also didn't get through like Dingleberry.

The road to 'catching hell' from the Internet crowd is paved with good intentions. Trust me.

CheapyD doesn't have the balls to post the unedited versions of either live show... that's a guarantee. You can tell by the way he edits the show that he doesn't want anyone to hear the mistakes. The result is an edit that's too clean and too fake. The edited version of the live show is a misrepresentation of what actually went down.

If I didn't want anyone to hear the mistakes, I wouldn't do a live show in the first place...duh.
I'll add it to the OP. I probably wont post #76 though. The way it was recorded, it needs to be pieced together, and I just don't feel like doing it.
So, this guarantee you posted...what exactly did it entail? I'm ready to cash in.

I like the Live Shows, but I miss the interviews you had. You had some of the most intresting people there and I got really excited to hear them because they wern't the people the big gaming websites interview and actually had a different take on things. What would be cool is if you let the people go wombat style and let them share their comments about stuff then you two guys talk about it.

I didn't even realize you posted it until now.
I also knew that you'd probably post it if I called you out on it. You're a master editor, but I'm a master manipulator. "What, he says I have no balls! Wait... I have balls!" So basically the only guarantee is that since I called you out, you felt pressure to save face and therefore posted the unedited version. It's a win for the listeners. They should thank me instead of calling me a moron!
Thanks for posting it!
