Glad to see you're okay enough out there to make a CAGcast Cheapy! As soon as I saw the news my thoughts went to you and your family and I'm very happy to see that you're okay, I know we've never talked or anything but listening to you for years has made me care about your well-being.

Oye Cheapy, muchacho, como que una hora y despues en Raptr te dice cuatro? Ese terremoto te dejo loquito, broki, no vaciles.

Now, seriously, Cheapy sounds a bit "off", but it's understandable. As usual, great job, guys. Hope everything gets better for everyone in Japan. I'll donate some money through CAG as soon as I get paid (next week, since I'm broke after paying the bills this week).

03-17-2011, 07:31 AM

Damn Cheapy, even in the face of disasters you bring us a new podcast? I hope you realize that you've now set a precedent, If you can make a podcast after earthquakes and tsunamis, you can NEVER miss another week. ;)
Thanks, here's hoping you and your family stay safe in the face of all this.

Not even an 8.9 quake can stop Cheapy D. :)

Actually they upped the estimate to a 9.0. And since the richter scale grows exponentially a 9.0 is about 450 bazillion times stronger than an 8.9. Of course that is an estimate on my part, and yes, bazillion is a real number.

Protip: If you wanna mess with Shippy, give him some Dr. Pepper.

For the DA2 Metacritic controversy, I've been loving the game and all those user reviews on Metacritic were backlash for the changes they made to the game since I doubt anyone could complete the game the day it came out. DA2 was being lambasted before it was even out in many forums. A lot of people only judged the game from the demo which was a poor representation of the full game anyway. So yea, no one gives a shit about user reviews about Metacritic. F them.

Btw, I'm shocked there was no discussion about DA2 at all except for the controversy. Maybe next week?

As usual, great show. I've gotta add that I was pretty excited about getting my Cyndi Lauper tweet mentioned on the show. Good to know that you're still in a mood to laugh at terrible jokes, Cheapy.

Shipwreck- I had the exact same "Tetris" problem with Slam Bolt Scrappers! I think this game could be really great with four people in the same room. "However, it's similar to Smash Bros. in that the craziness of it all is lost over the internet.

Good to hear everything is okay in Japan Cheapy.

The part you guys aren't accounting for regarding 5% of games in 2010 being rated "M" is that another 5% were rated "T" and the other 90% were rated "E" shovelware motion games.

This had me laughing. I hate when people just send their "wishes" or wear bracelets or send texts or whatever. They do NOTHING. You want to make an effort, send money. Sounds wrong, but when it comes to something like this, or curing disease, etc...money is what helps.

Glad to know you and your family are safe Cheapy

Great podcast, Cheapy. It's interesting to here the reality in Tokyo vs the US media. They were reporting all the stores there are barren of food and water.

I have to say though, I thought your prayer comment was quite disrespectful to people of faith. I understand if you meant that prayers alone are not enough. Money is needed too, but it came off as you saying prayers are worthless and do nothing to help. Maybe most of your listeners are atheists, but some of us do believe in prayer. At least it shows that we do care about the Japanese ppl.

Wombat, the UCLA girl wasn't removed from school for her video. The video responses to it were hilarious, though. Here's the original video if you still haven't seen it Cheapy:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lg3tIERI-D4&feature=related

And this is the best parody I've found:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zulEMWj3sVA

Anyway, it was a great show. I'm glad to hear you and your family are safe Cheapy. I live in California, so whenever a big quake happens, you'll always hear discussion from news stations about when it will be our turn. :-(

I hope the nuclear situation doesn't get any worse for Japan.

Wow, that was pretty classless of Lisa G squeezing in an iPhone app plug during an interview about the earthquake. And why the hell did she want to hear the television?

Here's how you know Cheapy is going to hell --- "Don't pray for us, send money to Japan (18:08 mark)".

I know, right? I wish doctors would stop relying on surgery and medicine and would just start praying more.

GaryZero

03-17-2011, 06:15 PM

Not to be crass or tasteless but I was surprised when everyone said what they had for problems Ships says tornados, Cheapy says earthquakes and Wombat says nothing or snow. Did you forget about the terrorists? It just seemed like the thing Wombat would say and he didn't.

Cheapy I'm very happy you guys are safe!

Cheapy, don't worry about money not coming to japan. CCP the makers of Eve online is doing Plex for good: Japan.

http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=876

basically, what they are doing is using the In-game money of Eve, converting it into real life cash and donating it to the people in need. This would be the 3rd time that CCP and players of eve online helped the real world.

I just wanted you to know this, and I hope if you could tell your listeners to help push their mmo developers to do the same thing. well... that's if they have a currency trade for real to ingame money deal.

If things get worse, Cheapy should definitely come back to Hawaii. Then, invite Wombat and Ship, and have a "LIVE from Hawaii CAGCast." Ok, it doesn't have to be live, but having the 3 together at somewhere besides E3 is always a treat.

faceturd

03-17-2011, 10:46 PM

I must say, I kind of thought you may not make it this week because of the quake. But when I actually saw CAGcast downloading this morning I smiled and thought, "Hell Yeah... these guys rock." And just to be clear, its not like I really needed to hear you talk about games... its just the personalities, CAGcast is part of the weekly routine. Thanx guys.

My wife is a nongamer for the most part, she'll play with me or the kids on occassion but she'd rather sit with a good book or if I am playing a cool story based game she will watch, for example she likes the Mass Effect story. She has finished Super Mario 64 but that was before we had kids. I listened to this weeks cagcast and I hoped that I got exactly what I did get which was an intelligent detail of what happened as you remembered it. I came home and told my wife who was interested because I mentioned Cheapy's tweet that he was ok and she asked to listen to her first cagcast. She really enjoyed it and she was done when it got to games but we wanted to thank you for giving us such detail. I think the strongest earthquake I ever felt was maybe a 4 and the most frightening thing I experienced was while I was traveling for work down in Nashville in April of 1998 and a tornado ripped through I went underground in a dirt mine and I got to see the inside of a funnel. felt like it lasted forever but there is no aftershocks from that experience, we were just happy that the funnel missed the river that was 100 yards from us or we'd probably be dead. Anyways, most important thing is your wife and child are ok prayers and money are going towards Japan.

Wow! . . . . HAHAHAHA!!!!....I didn't think anyone would actually quote my post. It was meant to be a crack at Cheapy since his first plea for help was asking for money. I'm not denying the fact that sending money to Japan would be VERY helpful (My wife and I donated to the red cross earlier this week - they matched 200% of our donation) but praying for them would also be helpful even though you might not think so.

The fact of the matter is that I'm not looking to question or judge anyone's faith or religion, but for those of you who think money is the only way to solve anything, I'll be praying for you ;)

I think cheapyd is telling us to pray for the dead, and injured and donate money to get Japan back to recovery. That's all, don't interpret it any more than that. This is after all a gaming podcast and not 20/20 with Barbara Walters.

I can not like this response enough. Prayers and well wishes are for those doing them, not the victims. It used to bug the hell out of me when ornate yellow ribbons were the fad. I would see houses with their whole front yard decked out in that. If people sent that money to the USO or veteran charities it would do so much more.

To each his own.

While, I would rather people send care packages or donate to the USO/MWR/Unit's Family Readiness Groups, I knew a good number of vets who found comfort in displays like that.

I guess the solution is to buy that stuff from those organizations so the profits go to whatever cause.

FriskyTanuki

03-19-2011, 02:04 AM

The zero-rated user reviews for Dragon Age 2 were in response to the changes that were made to DA2, not because of the controversial user review. Most of them were made by those that never played the game because they were protesting the game.

Decent show.

Yeah, it sounds like letting the people know you care and sending them supplies is the way to go. Only praying and sending no money or supplies does nothing. It might show that a person cares, but doesn't care enough to donate anything.

About the excited e-mailer, that person reminded me of myself when I get excited about something and give out too much information about whatever it is I'm talking about. :)

As an Asian person, I did take some offense to that UCLA student's video. At the same time, the stereotypical Asian speak was a little funny in its absurdity. Sort of like Uncle Ruckus from The Boondocks.

So on the subject of our news here being sensational vs there. I've been seeing this too. Since the Earthquake happened, well actually longer then that, I've getting my news through the BBC World Service. It's real news that isn't American-centric, they still talk about the important stories from America and a lot of times cover world stories that American 24-hour news networks don't cover. And I've been watching the live stream from NHK World that CNN has been putting up.

I flipped on CNN Tuesday morning and I was a little taken aback by how emotionally manipulative the video packages and anchors were. They would take clips of the same video that NHK World or the same audio stories from BBC and add their own translations that would either get the story wrong or just overly broad and dire. It was like they constructed everything to get you to respond in a certain way. I was actually getting angry at what the network was doing instead of the sad response that they were trying to go for.

So my advice to Americans is this. Don't watch CNN or any of the other 24-hour news networks. Watch the NHK World stream, they even have an iPhone app, listen or watch the BBC World Service through one of the many ways to stream the service. Get the real story.

Cheapy, just wanted to say thank you for thinking about the CAGcast listeners despite everything that you and the rest of Japan is having to deal with. It was a really pleasant surprise to see a new episode show up. Glad to hear the family is safe. Stay that way! And keep up the great work with the show.

FriskyTanuki

03-20-2011, 04:46 AM

I forgot about two points that I wanted to make earlier, so I'll mention them now.

The current link dump is far too inadequate for what is actually discussed on the show and does a huge disservice to the people that want to be more informed about those topics. You talk about more news than is listed in the OP and just causes people like the one a few posts up to ask for more details. Then there are the games you talk about in-depth but only mention the name once at the very beginning, so they need to be listed so those of us that miss the name don't need to listen multiple times to figure that out. Finally, there are just the random websites you talk about that also need to be linked because of the large amount of people that can't tell how Raptr is spelled from an audio aspect. As it is, the link dump is a disappointment.

I also wanted to mourn the death of the CAGbag, which has been neglected by Cheapy, Wombat, and Shipwreck for long enough that the thread might as well be locked and the link removed from the OP because you guys never use/support it any more. You only support the people that follow you on Twitter and ignore those that actually use/support the site that gave you guys the opportunity to even do a podcast in the first place. The "CAGbag" that currently is in the show is just Wombat's Twitter segment that's been renamed to hide the death of the real CAGbag.*

*Added dramatic tone for the purpose of getting this concern noticed.

I've actually blocked CNN.com on my computer because I got completely fed up with their irresponsible reporting. (google about modifying your HOSTS file to learn how to block websites, it's now impossible for me to go to CNN.com)

Here's a "Journalist Wall of Shame" wiki that somebody started to keep track of all the fear mongering and shoddy journalism http://jpquake.wikispaces.com/Journalist+Wall+of+Shame

On a more light hearted topic, the Avatar support in Full House Poker is pretty cool, but it was Kinect Sports that really blew me away. I know it's popular to rag on it as a Wii Sports clone, but seriously, Kinect Sports deserves a fair shot. Every movement you make with your body is shown on screen through your Avatar, and the online competition is so fun. You can taunt your opponent by dancing around and making mocking gestures, and your opponent online can see every second of it because they see your Avatar taunting them. So good. I didn't understand the point of Avatars until I played Kinect Sports.

I've put in a good number of hours into DA2.. maybe 12+... and I'm enjoying it for the most part, but things feel more disjointed than DAO. I feel like I'm just doing odd errands for people (vs DAO trying to stop a massive Blight)...

But one thing I've really found lacking is the customization options for your party members in terms of EQ.. as in you can't change their equipment anymore (making most of the stuff you pick up useless).. and it also limits their physical appearances as well. I'm not sure why BIoware took this out.. I like playing dress up in RPGs.. maybe it wasn't that popular?

Interested to hear your thoughts Wombat!

1modernboy

03-21-2011, 01:08 PM

Not trying to make you sound like any less of a dumb-ass or anything, Cheapy, but if you hadn't mentioned your "popular" snafu in the ending interview, I would've simply assumed you were saying that the practice of living is tall building (i.e. apartments) was popular in Japan as opposed to touting the popularity of earthquakes.

Great show this week guys, CheapyD you get the trooper of the week award for making another cast so soon after disaster struck your hometown. Normally Wombat gets the award for doing the show sick and/or under miles of snow :).

Cheapy, in GT5 you can borrow cars your friends have put on their profiles for sharing. If they have a car that can make certain events easier, it'd be wise to borrow them just for a bit. GT5 has also gotten a lot of support since it was released, which is always nice of a developer to do since nowadays it's basically 'pay to continue playing' for the most part.

All the 0 reviews for Dragon Age 2 are ridiculous. Whether in response to the BioWare user-review or because of the changes from Dragon Age: Origins - it's just one big, unwarranted bitch-fest. Everyone is so tough on the internet, bunch of babies.

I'm about 35 hours in and it's no Origins. I'd call it disappointing, not terribly engaging, but still oddly addictive and, as you say, Wombat, it "scratches an itch." I'd give it a 7.5 out of 10 so far. Really wish I hadn't stopped playing the original Dead Space to play DA2, but no going back now.

The voice acting in DA2 is top-notch, which is no surprise it being a BioWare game. Combat is dumbed down too much from DA:O. The quests aren't as fun. And they really screwed up the Sneak ability for Rogues. But I guess it's something until the final Mass Effect 2 DLC lands and Skyrim steals my life away.

It was driving me crazy.

So my advice to Americans is this. Don't watch CNN or any of the other 24-hour news networks.
Here's a "Journalist Wall of Shame" wiki that somebody started to keep track of all the fear mongering and shoddy journalism http://jpquake.wikispaces.com/Journalist+Wall+of+Shame
Thank ye kindly. I'm disappointed to hear that CNN is resorting to distortion, I also knew Fox News was pretty bad, sad to hear other networks are just as bad. I did hear that the BBC tends to be better about reporting the news, so it's nice to hear another account of that.

Thanks for the Journalist Wall of Shame link, I know that most journalists tend to exaggerate and misinterpret scientific findings, and I thought they only had a blind eye to that. I'm quite shocked that they kind of suck in general. I shall spend some time browsing that site when I can.

I really don't mind that this weeks CAGcast is postponed until next week. Mrs. Shipwreck's great Dragon Age review fueled my gaming addiction for the week. I'll be listening next week guys.

This show is a miracle cure!!! I was sick with the flu last weekend and fell asleep while listening to the show. When I woke up, my fever was gone. CAGCast > Tamiflu!!
