Awwww... Why the FUCK did I put this on as I'm eating my morning cereal? Just go to the fuckin' bathroom once a day...
Alright just finished listening. I'm gonna repost what I said on the last podcast thread since it was on Thursday and was probably missed. If it's simply not important and is ignored I won't mention it again.
I just recently got back onto the website and like all the new changes. I am hoping that the marketplace can get a local search or priority though. I know it's unlikely that a game I want is available within driving distance but the Atlanta deal thread seems pretty active and I live in Atlanta so maybe I'd get lucky. That makes me curious if your traffic tracking system can break it down into region or states. I know google analytics can. If you are willing to share this info I would be interested to know.
Also I noticed that the 2 most recent deals listed on joystiq were sourced from other sites that I won't mention. I don't know how much time they scooped you by but you also had the same info. Considering Wombat's affection for the guys and I know Chris Grant loves ya'll specifically the price alert, why are you getting scooped. Is it cuz of the name, maybe their AOL overlords don't want ass on the website? Maybe Wombat could take a more active liason role between ya'll. I originally found CAG from joystiq and still think that between your 2 podcasts I am the best informed and most entertained gamer I know.
Love the show, and try to start the next podcast with a word other that alright.

Wow. Hate to say it guys, but this weeks show can be summed up in a few last words:
"...anything else we should talk about?"
"Nope"
"Do you want to go to bed?"
"Yep"
Aside from the deep seeded resentment Wombat has for Cheapy by telling him to go to hell, shut up already, I'm not really sure what happened in the show this week. I must have fallen asleep along with Mr. Boatcrash.

The information was posted on our forums several days before it appeared on Joystiq, so certainly we were not "scooped" by them. I'm not really overly concerned about traffic from blogs these days. As you can see below, they don't really contribute much to the big picture on CAG.
If you read a post on a blog about a gaming deal, how likely are you to actually click through to the source of that information when everything you need to know is posted right on that blog?

Wow, Shipwreck like DOA Extreme remake!! I liked the 1st one on Xbox, the 2nd on 360 was OK, but at least I could look at the girls on a TV screen, not a tiny PSP screen. Not erotic, then why the hell play it? Get them in the revealing swimsuits, and snap away with the camera.
Monster dumps! lololol
Cheapy, I go through the same issues occasionally. I think most people with our unhealthy lifestyles go through these issues. :)
btw, the Popeye arcade game is quite rare. I doubt Shippy can find it easily or find it for a fair price. But props to Mrs. Shippy for such a cool find.

Cheapy's poop discussion and the iPad song made me laugh a lot, thanks for playing it at the end! Loved hearing about Ship's Crysis trip. The bit where they showed the trailer in Time's Square sounded freaking awesome.
Also, Cheapy, I've been having large poop troubles, too, over the last couple of weeks or so and have been clogging/overflowing the toilet so I went to my doctor and they told me I should cut down on my beef intake. I'm not sure if you're partaking in a lot of beef (I eat beef at least 4 times a week), but you could try cutting down on it to see if it helps.

Longtime listener, loyal fan of the CAGcast and first time poster. Love the show. The three of you together are hilarious! Wombat, wassup with your "Samoans go fuck yourself" comment? I know you meant the cookies(lol by the way), but still I got my all my cousins to tune into ya'll and you have a huge Samoan fanbase in Cali (and I dont mean our women!lol!). I was the elected one to tell you to respectively go fuck yourself back!lol! We want to make Wombat the chief of our family cause he reminds us of a rude, blunt and wise Uncle of ours. We love Wombat! Anyways, you guy do a great job with the show and site. If your ever in Cali, hit a dude up and my cousins and I will show any of you three a great time. Keep up the great work boys!

Great show guys! I don´t understand why some people where picky about you sounding sleepy, I thought the show was just fine. Love the part where Shipwreck talks about his love of Dead or Alive Extreme: Paradise. Even though I don´t have it, I have good memories of the first game on the original Xbox. I thought it was pretty great too as a dating sim, not as a semi-hentai kind of game.
Also, I doubt this will happen, but I think the CAGcast is great on mondays! So many podcasts get released thursday through saturday that I think it makes it easier to listen to the CAGcast.
One more thing: when are we going to see pictures of Shipwrecks Mansion in all it´s nerdy glory?

yo shipwreck instead of buying man diff game cabinets why not just build one MAME cabinet? that way you can have as many of those classic games as you want in one console. a cocktail cabinet would be great for something like that. good show people keep it poppin and shit.
btw cheapy toilets in japan just arent made for american shits. you may want to get a custom job or something because your godzilla turds are destroying tokyo toilets.
another thing cheapy since you said you know alot about movies on hbo do you know the game of a movie where this guy went around killing hookers? i saw it as a kid and cant recall much else about it except for there was a street clown in love with one of the hookers who got killed and the killer sleeps with one of the hookers he killed and later shaves his head bald .

When it comes to the 3DS don't think your going to see too many games that are going to come out as exclusive for the 3DS (within the first year or so) I think its going to be more along the lines of games that will have enhancements for the 3DS that still work fine on the DS or DSi.
It just breaks down to how the game software addresses the display hardware. That said its all how cool the 3D screen technology actually is, not so much compatibility at least within the first year or so.
Do don't fret ..... I'm sure the new "3DS" pokemon game will probably play fine on your measly DSi and look stupid awesome when you finally shell out for a 3DS (assuming the 3DS 3D tech "holds water")
Hell I'm still sporting my phat and I'm not too worried that I'll be upgrading any time soon ..... tho the DSXL did look mighty tempting. Either way going to wait for at least a year to see how the 3DS pans out before I go jumping on any bandwagons...... unless they release some stupid awesome must have game -looks at zelda or metroid- .
As far as shipwreck liking DOA Paradise ...... .................. ................................
I really don't see any problem with that, the game is sort of a guilty pleasure. To be honest I really don't see why the game is generating as much hate as it is. Yeah its not all that good and its essentially DOA Extreme 2 ported for the PSP. The game hasn't really stood up that well to the test of time, but damn you read reviews and its like it was the second coming of the Antichrist or something.
The thing that amuses me to no end is that the odds are pretty good that most of the people freaking out about it probably own DoA Extreme beach volleyball, DoA extreme 2 or both for the XboX and probably loved the games.
While it certainly hasn't won itself a place on my "ZOMG must get list", it has a spot on my "if I ever see it on super discount clearance" right next to lock's quest and populous DS, both of which I would also consider "guilty pleasures".

Let's take a look at the ranking of jokes in the CAGcast
1. Large poop jokes
2. Jokes about Cheapyd's small penis
3. Male sodomy jokes.
4. Jokes about Shipwrecks donkey schlong
5. Dildo Jokes
6. Masturbating/Semen Jokes
.
79. Vagina jokes
Now I am tired of the FANBOY-ISM that goes on during this podcast. That's right. You heard me. FANBOYS. I am of course talking about the insane amount of penis and anus jokes that go on during the cast, but never many vagina jokes. (I think the last one was what is now known as "The War of the Vagina Clown.")
I am tired of you boosting the stats of what is obviously the worst parts of the body (the sooner people learn this, the better). People don't even have penis's outside the US. What's that tell you? Maybe the poopy company is trying to buy credibility. These three anus lovers are laughing their way to the bank.
I'm just stating the obvious. I'm tired of the fankids talking negatively to me because I criticize their penis jokes.
Now, don't get me wrong, I am not a fanboy (I own both a penis and a vagina, along with an anus). But look. 20% of the jokes are about sex PERIPHERALS. Those aren't even human.
I don't care. Ban me. Whatever, you kids can't even prove to me that I'm wrong. Prove to me that the penis is better than a vagina. Do it, you children (It makes myself feel better if I call you children, because those are the only people I can make sense to.)
Let's look at other websites numbers....
Google.com search for the word "vagina" - 1,234,546,235 hits
"for the word "penis" - 7 hits
Obviously you are not allowed to have your own opinion on anything. You must be like everyone else, and like what everyone else does. Stop trying to be yourself RIGHT NOW!
F'ing children...
P.S This is a satire of this thread ( http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=257462 ) mentioned on the CAGcast. Don't take this seriously, please.
P.S.S I made up these numbers, and I don't have both a penis and a vagina. If I did, I would definately not have my hands on the keyboard right now.

Your podcast is the one that's going to finally make me D/L other podcasts. (Joystick ep 0 was pretty funny, thanks for the recommendation. )
Although I admit it- I'm a little nervous at hearing about Wombat's bathroom problems. yikes.

Cheapy, I finished this podcast while I was at work so I had to go back in the library of CAGcasts for the hour long commute back home. Anyway, I turned on episode #158 and towards the end you mentioned that you won't ever make a sex tape unless you get into better shape. So, with you hitting up your own "private" gym recently, can the world expect some leaked footage any time soon?

well if you have a penis you can pee anywhere. annoy the neighbor's dog, water the plants, write your name in the snow. i guess it gets in the way sometimes tho :-k
I'm going to have to agree with Wombat, if shipwreck hasn't ever puked from drinking he just hasn't had enough. I used to be that way until we decided to do shots with Everclear. Not only did I puke, I lost about 12 hours of memories. Good times that live on forever in pictures.

Cheapy, I recall you mentioning you watched "The Tester" a couple of episodes back. And that you liked it because it was easy to just click and watch. Did you happen to catch the final episode?
Also since you like watching shows on your ps3, have you checked out the play on media server? My wife and I watch most of our network shows and some movies usiing that server, on the ps3. I also noticed they added MLB and Comedy Central "channels" on there. Its fairly cheap, I think I paid a $30 one time fee.

The question about the 3DS is misinformed. It's not another form of the DS, instead it's essentially the DS 2. That's why people will develop for it, because it's not just a DS re-skinned. It's a new piece of hardware.

Funny, I was just thinking this past weekend how cool Herbie Hancock's "Rock-It" was back in the day. That and "Axel F". Need to get both on my iPod.
I went through and actually read through that CAGs Most Ordered thread and it was like 4-5 posts in that the fanboys came out of the woodwork. That's amazing really. It wasn't just PS3 fanboys either you had the 360 ones in there is well. Craziness. Why do people care that much to get into an argument about something so trivial?
The information was posted on our forums several days before it appeared on Joystiq, so certainly we were not "scooped" by them. I'm not really overly concerned about traffic from blogs these days. As you can see below, they don't really contribute much to the big picture on CAG.
If you read a post on a blog about a gaming deal, how likely are you to actually click through to the source of that information when everything you need to know is posted right on that blog?
I didn't mean to insult you I simply meant that it upset me to see another deal site listed on my fav gaming blog. Then you had to counter me with facts and solid logic and shit. Ouch dude that hurt I thought you were a nice guy. But seriously I wish you were mentioned more often on Joystiq. I still think that it'd be good despite few people clicking through to your site. If someone notices you multiple times then they are more likely to become a new member, and if other deal sites never scoop you why should they deserve to get any coverage. Can you track sign ups from referals?
Also thanks for the Parry Gripp introduction. Love the podcast.

In regards to 3D gaming:
It would seem that a lot of people are missing out on the fact that the way in which this current batch of 3D is rendered involves producing two scenes at once which effectively cuts any given framerate in half. Part of it is having to be tied into certain refresh rates and part of it is simply having to render twice the data using the same existing bandwidth.
If you speak to people who have seen/played games in 3D they will tell you that either the framerate is cut in half or the quality/quantity of what's on screen is significantly reduced in comparison to the 'normal' non-3D version.
The cycles and bandwidth to do this stuff has to come from somewhere and with all of the weird refresh rate and vertical sync issues I'd submit that this current generation of console hardware simply isn't equipped to handle 3D. (and by next gen the non-glasses tech will be the dominant one and even that could be replaced by something even better in the pipeline)

First and foremost, my wife is a huge Prison Break fangirl and I would score major points with her if I could secure any and all swag associated with the series and any such items would go to a loving home and be greatly appreciated. Or you could give it to some random CAG who may or may not care if the soap is on a rope or the implications of said rope and said prison. Your choice.
Secondly, housing prices and general cost of living are pretty low in Ohio. Given our foreclosure rate, there are lots of residential real estate deals to be found with foreclosures or short sales.

LOL this episode was fucking sick dude. If your shit is dry and clogging up the toilet, you need to drink more water. And Since your shitting only every 2 days, you might need to get your colon cleansed. Im sure you can afford it. Not THAT would make for some good conversation next episode.
Cheapy- "So I got my colon cleanesed the other day.. they put this tube up my ass right, and out came these flakes of impacted fecal matter. Now im shitting like a champ. Damn foot-long chicken parms.
Wombat- "..ok, on to new releases."
Shipwreck- "..yaea..."

In regards to the Mass Effect 2, I feel like Bioware is borking it so far. I bought and played through the Kasumi DLC and while I enjoyed it, it really did nothing to extend my enjoyment of ME2. I'd much rather see full expansion packs than this piecemeal type DLC.
Pack up a new character with some new locations and a new 'crisis' and I'd gladly fork over my spacebucks. I wouldn't say Kasumi was a waste of $7, but I will say it certainly wasn't necessary.
The trash-heap has spoken.

I went through and actually read through that CAGs Most Ordered thread and it was like 4-5 posts in that the fanboys came out of the woodwork. That's amazing really. It wasn't just PS3 fanboys either you had the 360 ones in there is well. Craziness. Why do people care that much to get into an argument about something so trivial?Fear. The people who go beyond preference and leave all logic behind, i.e. fanboys, are scared shitless they made the wrong choice. Nobody wants to be the guy who bought a Sega Saturn. So they try to convince others, but really themselves, that they made the right choice. That's why in every console generation the system that's in last place has the most unreasoning, nutso fans. A few shows ago, the Giant Bombcast made this observation and they all groaned at the memories of e-mail they used to get from GameCube owners.

I would imagine the problem when CheapyD is not the size of the dump but the size of those Japanese toilets. Maybe I have missed it but I haven't heard any story's from Cheapy on the public restrooms in Japan yet. Every time I talk to someone who has visited Japan the first thing they always talk about are the public restrooms.

..."CheapyD's Toilet Misadventures - Tokyo Drift" should be a flash game - imagine having to shoot and chip away at some "American"sized 'logs' in a toilet bowl so they fit down the drain before it flushes! The 'logs' could be made of different food items and random quotes from the CAGcast and Robocop movies! "I'd buy that for a dollar!"
...Wombat, I WANT one of the Prison Break soaps! It will complete my ensemble of "Fight Club" soap and "Dunder and Mifflin" robe.

Nice show guys. Nothing like hearing about CheapyD's adventures in poop while on the bus to work.
I think DLC is damned if you do, damned if you don't with you guys. You complain that they should have put out the ME 2 DLC earlier. However, if they did that, I guarantee you all would have been complaining about early DLC just being withheld content that was released separately to squeeze more money out of consumers. If they expended more time and resources to make bigger DLC and release it much later, they would lose potential customers that had moved on to newer releases.
I think releasing DLC when they did is a reasonable compromise, not so new to irritate cynical gamers but soon enough to rekindle interest in people who have recently played the game or to attract people who waited for a price drop and may be willing to use the "savings" to purchase DLC for it.
And shipwreck, you have to watch King of Kong. It's not just a great video game documentary, it's just flat out a great documentary. Even my wife, a total non-gamer, enjoyed it.

Good entertaining show but I honestly don't understand how you guys love to obsess over Apple products and flash games on your ipod touch but PC gaming? NO WAAAAAAY
Oh those confusing mouse and keyboards! HOW DO THEY WORK?! I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW I CAN USE THE KEYBOARD TO MOVE MY CHARACTER.
Backing away from making fun of Wombat on that point, i'll give you an example of why PC gaming is better in certain spots. It's not always better but here's a game where it is.
Just Cause 2, it's a fun game on consoles, but on the PC, you can download a simple mod where you can have UNLIMITED dual hooks and unbreakable ropes. Plus the many other modifications like extended grapple and seaplanes, etc. It makes the games 10x better than the vanilla version. And the PC version works flawlessly with a 360 gamepad. It's awesome to make a chain of enemies hanging from your Helicopter with a car at the end of it.
But you guys will never ever try it because, well I don't even know. Cheapy has been promising to get a gaming PC for 3 years now, Wombat doesn't have the income and Shipwreck straight up doesn't want it.
You'd think out of 3 people , ONE would be a PC gamer or try to be so it's more than mindless guessing/constantly repeating you're not a PC gamer.
Love the poop stories by the way.

I was actually at my crappy office job taking a deuce when I was listening to the beginning part about that very same subject matter; it was very meta, lol :)
Nice to hear some coverage on Crysis 2. I know you guys aren't PC gamers, but I still maintain a (sort of) current gaming computer and Crysis was a really solid and wild game. I may have been only one of about 100 people that bought the game retail instead of stealing by way of torrents or whatever, but I think that is part of why they are spreading the love to consoles. Anyone who has the opportunity to play the first one should try it out if you are a fan of FPS games - I still think that is the best looking game I have played, and has some really epic (in the true sense of the word) battles, sets and cut-scenes.
As always, keep up the laughs and great show, guys!

I've noticed that it's only Shipwreck and Mrs. Shipwreck that have their real names mentioned almost every episode now.
Shipwreck has his own Game Room now? Does it get better support than Microsoft's Game Room?
Cheapy, you should definitely do the most pre-ordered/sold amazon games lists every month or so and maybe even have contests associated with predicting the top items on the list. I found the thread you were talking about and your chart sucks. It just has games listed along the bottom and a mysterious line that's probably how many people ordered those games, but you offer no numbers to get any idea whether number sold five copies or 500 copies. Also, that thread was completely insane, so it might be better to keep it in the blogs so they will have to work harder to find them.
If you were referring to DPsx7, he's not a Sony fanboy. He's a delusional, Sony-hating PS3 fanboy that hates the PS3's gimmicks (like HD and needing to update to access PSN) and probably should've been banned in that thread since he trolls a lot in that way on the forums. You can read his post history to get an idea of what I'm talking about.
You should really play MLB 10 instead, Shipwreck. Road to the Show is much more polished and addictive version of My Player. Becoming the starter as a rookie for a pro team in 20 games is insane, even for the Reds. I got to the Pros in MLB 10 in my first season by July as the result of lucky injuries and trades that let me get called up earlier than I was ready for it, which is why I'm back in AAA for my second season when the GM had the chance to re-evaluate the depth charts.
Wombat's really on the ball with the news of the pricing of the PSP bundles compared to the PSP Go, which they've done since the Go's launch with a Gran Turismo bundle that was cheaper than the Go. They really need to drop the price of the PSP and the Go, as it's been three years since we've seen a price drop on the normal PSP and it's not doing too well in North America at $169.99.
I know it's easy to just say Sony should've done the PSP Go at launch about six years ago, but the PSP then was nowhere close to the versatile PSP as it is now. Just getting digital games onto the PSP was a hassle as a user when they were available two years after it launched and before they put the PS Store on the PSP two years ago. There was no iPhone, no Xbox 360, and Nintendo wasn't the dominant powerhouse then, so the entire ecosystem wasn't pushing for a digital download system then. The major issues for the PSP at the time was pricing of the software that still hurts it and the bad choice of using disc-based media for games that had a negative effect on loading times and ironically handcuff the PSP Go when people weren't willing to give up the UMDs they hated in the first place.
If the iPhone was the only portable gaming option right now, I probably would've given up on portable gaming all together as a result. There are good iPhone games, but they're good because I didn't pay more than $2.99 for any of them since none of them are worth more than that. I'm much more likely to turn on the PSP or DS when I'm interested in playing a portable game due to the more substantial, engrossing games.
Will the CAG iPhone app be out before Gran Turismo 5?
Shitty show this week.

If I include actual sales numbers, then we will have people busting out their calculators trying to figure out how much money I'm making and I don't think that is going to end well.
I create the graph so you can see the spread between the front and back of the top 50 list.
Love the idea for the contest...thanks!

Maybe, but seeing how they compare to each other is kind of pointless without the numbers. The graph just basically says #1 sold more than #2 which also sold more than #3 and so on, which we already got from the list. You could just show graphs showing the spread amongst the platforms or maybe the average price of those games for the month to explain why some of them sold that well, which are stuff you don't immediately get from the list.

We must be synched up or something, because recently my logs have been clogtastic as well.
ME2 DLC coming out at this moment at such a price seems so silly. At least with AC II, they're "memories" so they don't really block your access to them even if you've passed the game. Those that want continuity could have waited, but the rest of us could play on just fine. With ME2, you have DLC coming out even though the game itself feels like it's been completed. Anything extra should probably be afterwards, like side missions to show how the universe is a never ending turmoil.

Furthermore, Every time Shipwreck or Cheapy would talk for 5 minutes about something .. such as Crysis 2 or why people don’t hack the PS3 .. two discussions which I found interesting, Wombat would say its boring (presumably cause he’s not involved). And then whenever either Ship or Cheapy would talk about a writer or publicist or some kind of industry insider, Wombat would mention how they should’ve gotten him a game or a check or some kind of free stuff. Give it a rest already! It's not funny, it's not fun.

My wife is a big Farmville player herself, so naturally I explained it to her, and she is overjoyed to have that mental association every time she plays now. Sweet.

This is mostly for Shipwreck - I heard the urban legend about why that lady was so paranoid about her purse on the airplane. Obviously she was still overly protective, but women are supposed to keep track of their purse at all times on a plane not because someone will steal the purse, rather steal something out of it (like a credit card or cash). When you think about the average "post flight" activities (bathroom, baggage claim, rental car/get picked up, go to hotel/home), most people don't look at their wallet till well after they are away from the airport. So in theory the person next to you could take something while you are at the bathroom and you wouldn't know it till after they are long gone.

Just got to the part talking about baseball games and I had to comment. MLB The Show has had a career mode called either The Show or Road to the Show as its now called since MLB The Show 06 (ie last 5 games.) 2K had to input it this year throughout all its sports games (including NBA and NHL) to keep up with the offerings by its competitors (EA and Sony.)
The Road to the Show by all accounts is vastly superior than 2K's My Player mode, but it's a good first start for 2K. I'm surprised Shipwreck did not get The Show since he has a PS3 as its a vastly superior game to MLB 2K10.
At least 2K10 is playable this year to break their even year track record of the game freezing up in 06 and 08 (and well being completely broken last year.)
Oh and just for the record I'm not a Sony fanboy as my 360 game to PS3 game ratio is 4:1, but MLB The Show is the main reason myself and at least 1/2 of all PS3 owners in St. Louis have a PS3. It's the best baseball game out IMO, and MLB The Show 10 and 08 are the two best baseball games ever in my view, followed by MVP Baseball 05, Bases Loaded 2, and RBI Baseball 2.

Hi Cheapy, Wombat and Boatcrash,
I chose the wrong time when I started the podcast while having breakfast. *yuck* I do not really enjoy toilet talk shows.
But, I had to grin when you mentioned your son and your Iphone, Cheapy. Same here, my 3-year-old and I play Iphone every night at bedtime, he loves Dark Nebula, and Action Bowling, but we usually rotate through our game collection. It's also a big ace up my sleave in restaurants. As I earn my bread in the game industry, I think it's OK to pass this on, too. Yea, old school parents will shake their head, but I want to see how far their children will come in 20 years with their crayon skills.
This makes me think of a question: How do you think the world will be like when our sons are grown up, especially concerning the use of technology, devices, interfaces? Will the next generation still know how to use a pen? A controller? How will video games be like? Shitbox Implants maybe? Voice or thought control?
Make a wild guess! I will listen back then and see if you have been right...

Great show guys, really enjoyed it.
Also I think Wombat has some nerve to have a go at Cheapy's "Hackers on the PS3" bit for being boring when a few pod-casts ago he sat for 5 mins reading out a list of Twitter user names !! :lol:
But yeah, a good pod-cast all told.

I can hardly wait. I'm only 2 weeks behind now :(
Cheapy, you didn't really get the full situation on PS3 piracy. In fact the Sony firmware update was a direct response to hackers finally getting full system access back in January. You can get the details at http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2010/01/three-years-later-the-ps3-gets-hacked.ars
And full system access makes piracy is more likely - at least that's what Sony thinks. So yes, it was a preemptive strike against piracy.

I never get tired of the toilet talk. Cheapy, would you miss your high-tech toilets if you moved back to the states? What would you miss most about Japan if you ever relocated?

Is it just me, or could you start a drinking game with the CAG crew's discussion of DLC? Seriously, try taking a drink every time Cheapy mentions the Saints' Row 2 DLC; there's no way you'll make it through a podcast. Dude makes it sound like the creators of Saints' Row 2 assaulted his mom when he was a kid. Let it go, man. Let it go.

Seems like the "Lead Singer" syndrome Wombat said Infinity Ward had is truly biting them in the ass.

I hope nobody thinks your a Sony fanboy because of this post. The Show is almost unanimously considered a better game by fans of the genre (like yourself).
I just wanted to make sure because if you listen to my podcast, my GotY winners the last two years have both been PS3 exclusives (MGS 4 in 08 and Uncharted 2 in 09.)
I think it'll be pretty hard for a PS3 game to win it this year from me though, unless something REALLY blows away Mass Effect 2.

I have never heard Cheapy be so wrong when describing something. When Cheapy was talking about the PS3 Piracy, he did not mention that a few weeks ago that a famous hacker claimed he hacked the PS3. Sony said that the claim was being looked into, shortly afterwards Sony announced that they are removing the other operating system for security purposes. Sony removes that feature and the hacker tells people that he will be coming out with custom updates to support that feature. Obviously it is safe to conclude that the piracy is achieved by using the other operating system. Why else would Sony go out and create an update to remove a feature that no one uses and is no longer availabale in current model PS3's? Just for fun?, no they found out that is the portal to piracy and decided to remove it. Why else would the hacker want to provide updates to keep that feature running?

Hey guys,
I was wondering how long developers keep online game servers going? I imagine for games such as Modern Warfare it would stay on for many many years... but what about games such as Ghostbusters (which offers online multiplayer), how long will a company keep supporting an unpopular online game? Thanks for the cagcast i really enjoy....

I didn't know you guys were into Kidrobot. Wombat and Shipwreck definitely gets a star sticker in my book. Their products are stylish and sometimes a bit out there but like everything awesome in life, it costs an arm and a leg.
Also, I have a spare "Fry" and "Mom" KR Futurama vinyl toy you two might like. I'm not sure if you'd like to keep it for yourselves (Fry goes to the resident red head if that's the case) or offer it as a contest prize, but I'm definitely willing to hand it over to the CAG community.
And yeah, it was a fairly decent show. It would have been much better if Cheapy stopped rambling about issues no one really cares about. You know it's bad when the co-hosts are dead silent for several minutes.

I like the idea of the CAGCast drinking game. We need to incorporate any mention of Jean Snow into it. Although I usually listen to the show while I'm in the car... so I don't know if a drinking game would work out for me so much.
I also endorse the creation of a CAGcast drinking game.

just wanted to say that recently Wombat has been getting a lot of crap from people in show feedback, but Wombat's probably the greatest part about the Cagcast, his absurdly dumb jokes are hilarious and the sounds he makes when when Cheapy reads the sponsor thing is so freaking funny. Oh, and Shipwreck's awesome too. Sorry Cheapy

Hey Cheapy, question for the CAGbag: Is it possible you could set up a forum specifically for trading hardware like consoles, controllers, etc? I've been tracking down different consoles/handhelds all over the interwebs and it's really shocking how much some sites charge. For instance: a used original DS from Gamestop runs about 70-80 dollars, and a used PS2 could cost anywhere from fifty to eighty dollars! Could you maybe think about this? It would make things so much easier for a lot of people.

Yeah i'm not sure where the wombat hate comes from, guy just tells it like it is. Plus I think he bring a lot of the subtle humor that you have to be quick to catch because he wont stay on it long. Wombat is one of my favorite podcast personalities.
