Just finished the CAGcast (Great show!) and I have only 5 points to make:

1.) The homosexual undertones of today's CAGcast were hilarious. For example "Hey, check out my Unicorn" or "Moondiver" or (my personal favorite) "The dogs should be blasting me in the face . . . somehow".

2.) The random "Yeah, F U SkaDave" made me laugh outloud (FYI - I listened to the CAGcast at my office so others definitely heard it). I'm sure that comment alone will generate 20-30 posts on this thread - most of which will revolve around hatred for the PS3 for some unknown reason (No offense SkaDave, I really do enjoy reading your posts. I look forward to hearing your thoughts).

3.) Cheapy, you're married and you still use rubbers?!?!?! . . . . Child, Please! Your wife needs to get the Nouva Ring or the pill. Trust me, once she gets on birth control meds, she will "rove you rong time"!

4.) Wombat . . . . . No handjob reference???? What gives???

5.) Shipwreck, do you stare at your video game collection while throwing your hands in the air and yelling "UNBELIEVABLE!!!". . . . ???

Those are my takeaways. Great show! More banter the better!

Compared to always having to use rubbers . . . Yes!

If your "really?" quote was referring to my crack on Cheapy's wife being Asian, then lighten up. It was a joke and thus, intended to be funny. I'm not sure if you are going there so please don't take offense.

Just got done listening and Wombat, I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one that doesn't keep his wallet in his back pocket! After having my wallet snatched when I was around 6, I started keeping it in my front pockets and have been made fun of for it by pretty much all my friends ever since. And it totally works! I haven't had a problem with someone trying to steal my wallet since.

I also keep my wallet in my front pocket because I don't want to risk someone being able to snatch if out of my back pocket. My wallet isn't overstuffed like George Costanza's, so it's not a problem.

Shipwreck,
There is an app on the PS3 you can download called Adhoc Party. It fools the PSP into thinking there's PSP's in the same room as you, but it allows you to play the ad hoc mode of PSP games online. It being a Sony app though there are two minor-major issues:

You have to connect your PSP to the PS3 with a USB cable and you have to be using a wired broadband connection (wired into a router is ok) on the PS3 instead of wireless.

The interface is god awful and confusing.

Once you get it working though its great, no lag. CAG Joe2187 and I played VC 2 with no problems. If you want to try it out sometime, I can send you my list of PSP games and we could play something, or just put it up on Twitter and I'm sure there are others that will do it with you (you have to create a "room" inside the app and you can have up to 20 people in that room.)

Cheapy/Wombat,
I also keep my wallet in my front pocket to avoid getting stolen/sitting on it. I usually wear Dockers so the pockets are bigger. I have my wallet/keys in my front right pocket, and my IPhone & Zune in my front left pocket.

03-30-2011, 03:31 PM

I'd like it if PS3's cloud saving could hold my mandatory installs, because it sure ain't my gamesaves that filled my hard drive.

Wombat, maybe it's intentional that you haven't seen much advertisment for Crysis 2 where you live because it's about a pretty obliterated New York City. Then again, when have video game companies ever been sensitive with their marketing?

Have you guys visited vgchartz.com? They post weekly sales charts. They even split 360 and PS3 sale numbers. I don't know where they get their figures, they could be making them all up. According to them, Homefront's first week was better than week one & two for Dragon Age 2.
Homefront's long term sales aren't really the key to their profit strategy. If you've played the game, you know it's set up to be very episodic. They invested the marketing and initial setup to establish a franchise. They'll probably try to milk it every year like Call Of Duty.

Oh, and Cheapy, I sent you a friend request on PS3 two and a half years ago. Perhaps if you can get around to denying it, it might free up a slot to let someone else you actually want on your list.

P.S. Chiropractors warn against back-pocket wallets, because it unbalances your posture and screws with your spine alignment. Unless you have an equal sized wallet in both pockets, I suppose.

Regarding Cracker Barrel me and my wife had a conversation about racism at Cracker Barrel; Because there's a seeing in the front of the store saying that they accept all people regardless of their race. Here in Miami, there are two cracker barrels I've been to both of them several times and I've always been treated really well. Sometimes it takes getting sued to get companies to get their act together. I just hope they aren't spitting in my food.. but damn those Pancakes are so damn GOOD!!!!

Just wanted to fact check what Wombat said about the Zune. All the "Zune Is Dead" stories originated from one Bloomberg News article quoting an unnamed source. Here's the facts. Soon after the Zune HD was released (to a lot of positive reviews) they said that it would probably be the last dedicated Zune device. Going forward, Windows Phone 7 devices would be the new Zune devices. They outlined these plans 18 months ago! This was not news!

Zune, the music and video service, and Zune Pass, the music subscription service, continue to be available on Zune devices, Windows PCs, Xbox 360, and many, many models of Windows Phone 7. Just four months ago Zune expanded from U.S. only to international. It's not going away anytime soon.

Bonus Zune Fact: CAGcast is currently ranked #44 on the Entertainment: Games podcasts rankings in the Zune Marketplace.

Nice CAGcast, guys - moved really fast.

Cloud Saves...why would we want 'em? In case our system takes a crap. My PS3 sank while streaming some video two years ago - just stopped, took a huge dump and needed a complete re-install. My 60%-ish completion on Demon's Souls was kaput. Of course I back up that sucker now, but a Cloud Save would've totally saved the day.

Crysis 2 - man, totally down with that one. The multiplayer demo was terrible, glad to hear all the feedback is positive. Can't wait.

Dragon Age 2 - it's an odd beast. I have a love-hate relationship with it. I want to love it and am actually enjoying the story (about midway through Act 3, I'd guess), but kinda hate playing it - it feels like one huge fetch quest. The fighting has lost its strategic edge, which was what I really enjoyed about it. Ah well. Guess I'll finish it and get back to Dead Space. =)

My interest in XBL Indie Games are ruined by the limitation of the MS points system. Indie devs are complaining about user ratings that are screwing them over now.

I keep my wallet in my front pocket because it's harder to swipe and it's better for my tailbone/spine. My DS and PSP fit in the other pocket just fine, so I can't imagine how small the pockets of complainers must be.

The cloud saves are for storage, so you can keep locked or important saves stored safely without fear that a dead system or accident will cause them to lose their saves.

I'd love to see Zune Marketplace be removed from the dashboard, as it's ruined the video library and marketplace, though deleting made it possible to find the few videos I had on my hard drive.

Decent show.

As usual:

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. You'll never get to 100,000 downloads without fostering the community that you blame for the CAGbag's death. You ignored them and they stopped asking questions.*

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

How the fuck did none of them understand this? Im not reallly sure what the hell Ship was talking about, streaming what at work? Your saves? wtf

Sidenote: I noticed something really annoying about the Xbox indie games, you are locked out of them (can't launch them) if you dont sign in to xbox live. Not a problem most of the time, but when it is, it is fucking annoying.

No offense, cheapy, but I think you and Howard Stern are the only married people who use condoms. There are so many other forms of birth control that don't completely ruin the feeling. Hell, even my wife hates condoms. And don't give me that "holding out longer" bs, who are you trying to impress at this point?! Just pull out, dude!

Resident Evil 4 is also my favorite shooter of all time, Wombat, and that's actually a widely held opinion (Edge ranked it the 4th best game of all time a couple of years ago) so don't worry about Cheapy's taunting or Shipwreck's wrongness.

yeah marriage & condoms? I hate condoms. Is that a Jew thing? LIke the little hats you have to wear? I suppose you need Kosher Condoms too? Tested out on a real cock that doesn't spit out its cud. Forgive me I don't know the Jewish customs in much detail.

I don't even know where the CagBag is so I never post questions to it. Besides isn't this show thread the same thing? Never understood why there is another place to ask questions that get read on the show. Why not the show thread? OR do they get answered elsewhere too? Maybe a link would help. A link in this thread.

If you want folks to use parts of the site or at least try them then you need to do some advertising on your own site once in awhile. Reminder advertising. But yeah I mostly just listen to the show and check for deals. No time to do all the other stuff. Not my cup of tea either. I'm not that nerdy.

Oh and I say with the wife shoe and clothing blob that grows everyday....well you need to be pro-active. Take a pair of shoes or an article of clothing every week that she hasn't worn in 3 years and sneak it down to the basement into a locked container marked "nerd stuff." This will be gradual enough of a process that there will be minimal collateral damage.

I don't even think Sony's service should be referred to as "cloud saving". To me, it's more like an online file locker. If the games were reading and writing to the cloud, my opinion would change.

The whole process is fairly tedious/cumbersome. While it does have some uses like backing up locked saves or making it easier on those with multiple PS3s, it's essentially the same as plugging in a USB stick and copying the file.

I know Sony has said that in the future devs will have the ability to save automatically into the cloud. I'd definitely take advantage of this; however I am still skeptical, because if any other PSN features (i.e. game invites, YouTube support, custom music playlists, etc) are an indication, this will not be consistent and be left up to the developer to incorporate.

That's one of the most frustrating things about PSN -- lack of standardization!

Cheapy: I whole-heartily agree about the MobileMe saving for iOS. This MUST be implemented. I don't have an iPad yet (will eventually) and would be pretty bummed if I couldn't pick up where I left off on the iPhone.

Ship: I too kinda shrugged at the amazon announcement. Though it was mainly due to me being so tied to iTunes/iOS. That said, if (when?) Apple does something similar, I think it would be very useful. Putting music in the cloud frees up a lot of space for other stuff on the device while still making it accessible on 3G or WiFi. It could also mean we'd be closer to wireless syncing. Plugging in that USB cable can get annoying.

It has everything I love about the CAGcast.
CheapyD skirting the line between funny and awkwardly racist.
Wombat taking a concept for a joke and trying every variation until he gets a laugh.
and Shipwreck mentioning the fact that he's a red head.
What else do you need in life?

Good show guys -- I think Wombat should do an Xbox Indie Game of the Week segment. Like the monthly thread on NeoGAF, hearing suggestions of what to check out would be helpful since it can be difficult in finding the good stuff.

Yeah that could be decent. Here's a good resource if you want to see whats out there, I bought about 5 games last night just browsing through the posts. http://www.dealspwn.com/tag/xbox-live-indie-game-of-the-week/ There's lots of unique stuff I didnt know about like FPSs and 3D space sims.

03-31-2011, 02:57 PM

the F-U skadave part made my morning.

A couple things about my need for speed hot pursuit comment:

1) I am not that far into the game (i think i am level 6 or so).
2) I wrote onto the cagbag right after i lost a 10+ minute race and i had to do it over. So i was in pissy complain mode.
3) I do stand by my hatred of rubber banding in racing games, and i do feel that NFSHP does suffer from this problem.
4) I am generally not that great at racing games (i don't really like to break and i prefer to take my turns in the opposite fashion that you are supposed to. . . i start on the inside of the turn and drift my way through it).

I loved the show this week. . . and it's nice to hear my name on it even though i was told to F-off :).

I don't even think Sony's service should be referred to as "cloud saving". To me, it's more like an online file locker. If the games were reading and writing to the cloud, my opinion would change.
Which is why Sony called it "online storage for game saves" when they announced it. Everybody else just calls it cloud saving because it's a buzzword that they remember without knowing the difference.

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/03/09/online-storage-for-game-saves-coming-to-playstation-plus/

100% of all questions from the last show were from the CAGbag
You need to do it for more than one week to get more people to ask questions.

1) Allows you to keep backups of your game saves in case your PS3 dies, and you are unable to transfer your saves to another PS3 or USB drive.

2) Allows you to keep backups of your copy-protected game saves.

3) Allows you to keep a previous version of your game save in case there is a bug in the game that corrupts the save on your HDD (i.e., Monopoly Streets, Castlevania Lords of Shadow, etc.). If the game eats your save file, you can simply restore it and only lose 1 day instead of losing the whole save file.

4) Allows you to go to your friends (or family's) PS3 to continue your games so you do not have to bring your PS3 with you. (I used this myself just last weekend; I uploaded all my saves before I left. When I got to my friend's house in Chicago, I created a profile for myself on his PS3, signed in to PSN, and copied my game save so I could continue right were I left off).

There are probably even more advantages, but these are the 4 that come to my mind right away.

Wow... I always thought the majority of people kept their wallets in their front/side pockets. How do you even sit if your fat wallet is in your back pocket? I always carry huge wads of cash, so my wallet is huge.

First of all, stop appealing to the sensitive people who can't handle jokes involving race. I'm Russian, do we EVER get called Russian-American or Caucasian American or European American? No, almost never.

So how come if Wombat is referring to a black girl he lived with, he has to say "African-American"? She was most likely NOT born in Africa, and even if she was, then why is that even important? She's black. That is her color.

It's getting annoying how hard you're trying to not offend anyone and basically censoring yourself every show. I actually enjoyed hearing CheapyD imitate Selena Williams, it was one of the few moments in the last fifty to hundred shows where you didn't try to be so PG.

Also, speaking on the cloud saving for the PS3. PS Plus is already pretty compelling on itself, so i think its nice that they even add other features in there. I wish Xbox 360 had a feature like that (mostly for security in case i lose some saves)

Super Programmer John doesn't like Center/Centre? How about Central? Deal Central

EVERY commercial break on [Adult Swim] and G4 channel have a commercial for Dragon Age II (more so earlier in the month) and Crysis 2 (ruined it with rap). I can't even remember if I've seen a Homefront commercial.

Wallet goes in the front.

Shipwreck: You don't like your Xbox collection? I'm not sure I understood why you'd want to eventually display every game/system, but trim down the original Xbox collection? Is it because you have 4 extra copies of DOA Beach Volleyball?

I keep my wallet in the front at work, when I'm the most secure and the wallet in my back pocket when in public. Thats kinda ass backwards now that I think about it, or is it back asswards? So if we keep are wallet, keys and phone (the essentials) in the front pockets what do we use the back pockets for? I sometimes put my phone in the back pocket but then you have to worry about sitting on the phone and I definitely don't want my keys back there and the back pockets definitely deserve some use.

I really like where the show has been going, more M-rated. I mean how many 13 year olds are really listening to the show anyways, a majority of us are adults here. Also wombat I love the commercials you provide in the podcast (goDaddy or go Fuck yourself) and nice job presenting it.

Deal wall is fucking tarded. Why not rename it CAGbook or faceCAG? Dealzone doesn't sound to bad or Fucking deals!

What would super programmer John think about coming on the show, for a segment or two to add to the mix or cheapyD could do a discussing with him about new features and edited it in the show. Just a suggestion either way I'm loving the show and just may tell a friend if you continue the good work. Either way I will continue to listen and look forward to listening every week.

Cloud saving is great if you remember to back up a save to the cloud. It sucks when you put in 20 hours in Fallout 3, then lose the save somehow and have to start from the beginning again. Thats the main reason I like it the cloud feature, also if you have a game save such as GT5 and go to a friends to play who doesn't have it you could use your save and have all your cars. It's a step in the right direction.

not all cracker barrels are racist freakin a i grew up in the south and ive been to one a number of times and never had any issues. chances are that shit happened in your nyc cb's which wouldnt be surprising since in large cities like that racism can be pretty bad.

yeah theres racists in the south but like any decent southern if i dont like you ill let you know regardless of the reason i wont pretend that i dont.

The show was great but Wombat's interruptions during the Crysis 2 segment were too much. Since it wasn't talk of Dragon Age 2 then he was too bored with the segment. I almost miss the old Wombat that cried for free swag and games.

Great podcast, I missed it last week

Wombat is right, Resident Evil 4 is also my (and lots of people) favorite shooter ever, not even surpassed by the sequels, or games that try to imitate or upgrade its mechanics, like Gears. It's an excellent game that has easily passed the test of time

Also, a couple of suggestions for the deal hole:

no man Wombat is in the right on this Cracker Barrel has a continued reputation for racism. Even more than Denny's.
First of all, stop appealing to the sensitive people who can't handle jokes involving race. I'm Russian, do we EVER get called Russian-American or Caucasian American or European American? No, almost never. They've got a new phrase to address this. Visible minority is what it says on all the forms now. Put you on a park bench in jeans and a t-shirt and you're just another white guy from 10 yards away. Put me on the same bench in the same clothes and I'm still a black dude.

So how come if Wombat is referring to a black girl he lived with, he has to say "African-American"? She was most likely NOT born in Africa, and even if she was, then why is that even important? She's black. That is her color.You know African American is more accurate if she WAS born in America. It's less accurate for people like Chiwetel Ejiofor

who was born in the UK not America. Not that just saying Black isn't easier but your example sucks.

Now that he's actually explained what Wikposts are they're a brilliant idea that we kinda have been asking for. They work really well for FatWallet.com. Ideally the FatWallet setup is best. The OP has his post and below each OP is a Wiki-able area. I don't know if that would be easier for SP John to implement but I'm going to assume he's already considered this and has either a) rejected it or b) is working on it for later upgrades. Either way this is kinda cool so thanks for that.

I'm given to understand that PSN Cloud storage will be integrated into future titles so while it's not much use now. If they can enable a sort of auto back-up system that for instance backs up today's saves every night in the background that would be useful without requiring you to go into your gave save data folder and do work. I'm not saying it's worth the price of admission alone but you can't deny that might be useful?

Honestly the only people who should be excited about cloud saving are gaming journalists. These are people who switch consoles daily on a regular basis. I know they're all burning incense at their Sony alters to thank whatever unknown force has granted their dreams.

Allow wombat to put together a list and go over that list on the next show to narrow down a better name.

This. The last CAG centric video on Cheapy's YouTube page is the Wheel of Halo almost 7 months ago. I know I don't know how to use most of the CAG features and I have a few thousand posts on here. I just now started to use the collection (which is only 1/3 done for me) and wishlist tools since they're right in your face now.

Keep up the good work I love the cagcast. Wombat you are funny as shit, and CheepyD your youtube videos and cool.

My two cent suggestions on the deal page name would be:

*Deal Breaker

*Dealio (Deal-ee-oh) "I can't remember...go look on the Dealio"

*Savermetrics (sorry, baseball season started.....)

On the last level right now, actually. I like it. Hope to have a review up in the next couple of days.

I hope you address how much of the first two games you've played in your review. It's not as bad a hatchet job on Aya's character IMO that Team Ninja/Sakamoto did to Samus in Other M since it's not the original creator doing 3rd Birthday and amnesia is written into Aya's story. But still I don't know why Square made her such a weak character since they have made so many strong females in the past (Celes, Tifa, Rinoa, Rikku, Payne, Fran, Ashe, Lightning, etc.)

I'm only on Chapter 2 but I hope Aya's character gets stronger later on ala Rydia, Rosa, Celes, Aeris, Yuna, etc.

Dear Cheapy,

What the fuck is up with your racial comments this week!!! By my count I heard at least 3 blatant racist remarks not counting the gray-ish stuff. If you want any more reason why your audience appears to have stagnated it's quite possible that the way you alienate a decent size of your potential audience is why. Not all gamers are white males so while some minority listeners like me may tolerate these remarks many will not.

After so many podcasts I know what your show is about and I listen because for me everything is in good fun. But it drives me crazy whenever I hear you bemoan about your audience while at the same time making off-color remarks not befitting a more mainstream audience. If you are willing to "clean up" your commentary that's totally up to you but if not then I would simply embrace who you are and don't be discouraged by a perceived lack of growth since that will come with the territory.

As always a great (if slightly racist) show this week.
