CAGcast #'s 1-4

[el bobo]

Very cool, it was a bit long but it was interesting the whole time.

[Michaellvortega]

shut the shaq-fu up thorbahn3. don't listin to the cagcast if your going to nit pick every error, go watch CNN. Maybe Cheapy will give you two months off your CAG membership for the problems.....oh wait this site is free! Ungreatful jerk.

[woobacca]

This third CAGcast is definitely the best. I wish I had more time to stay on top of all the new developments in the gaming world, but I don't. That's why it was great to hear you guys summarize what's coming with the Xbox 360 and other events, even though some gamers may already have known about them.

Also, I have to say Cheapy and Wombat displayed some great chemistry in this third installment. The back and forth bantering sounded polished and even, dare I say, professional. Well done, and keep 'em coming.

[Maddgief]

Best one of the three so far. Keep it up guys.

[crewj]

hey cheapy... nice cagcast! keep up the good work! more gaming news = bliss!

[DesertEagleXIX]

I have one suggestion. Most of the news on the CagCast is available on the front page or heavy talked about in the forums. I would like to hear less of this news, and more opinion. Is it a good or bad thing RadioShack.com is entering the game market? How long will it last? etc.

[bjkrautk]

#3 was a good CAGcast...but it needs more Cowbell (or at the very least, more soundboard).


It's all about raising the production value

[jevon90]

I enjoyed the longer airtime in this 3rd CAGcast, though maybe that was more dependent on so much big news...anyways great podcast!

[CheapyD]

Thanks for the continued feedback...

We are going to record this week's show tonight. Anything specific you want to hear discussed?

[Mike23]

Pornography, Canada, and the Dreamcast?

All three in one sentence, if possible. :D

[shipwreck]

Thanks for the continued feedback...

I think you guys should just read the entire GameRush thread verbatim. Oh, and be sure to make up voices for everyone too. Keep up the good work.

[The Successful Dropout]

I have no defence for the retarded Dracula laugh comment other than the fact that I am a retarded Dracula.:lol:

[DesertEagleXIX]

I'm 6 minutes into Cagcast four and loving it already.

First Cheapy, to clarify what I said about opinion. As a hardcore CAGer (I check the site about 10 times a day; Can't miss a deal!), I'm already aware of most of the news elements. What I love to hear is you guys cut up a deserving target- Best Buy, The outragous 360 Bundle prices, Crap game of the week, etc. That kind of stuff is great to listen to, it's informative and funny. This show seems like a step in the right direction.

I also like the occasional cuss word in the program. Thanks JimmyMac for taking the first step.

I new idea. At the end of every show play a snippet or two from a game. Cag'ers will have to guess the game...Winners get announced on the next show. Who doesn't want to get mentioned on CAGcast?

Great Job Guys! Thanks for all the work that goes into the show; We really appreciate it.

[guardian_owl]

Woot!, 30+ minutes this time, can't wait to listen to it when I have the chance later tonight.

[Odenat]

lol cheapy said he laughs like a retarded dracula

[evilmax17]

I kept waiting for Jimmie to give Wombat a purple nurple, but was sorely disappointed.

Edit:

[The VGM]

Good work guys, I definately enjoyed this one the most. I liked the fact that Jimmie Mac was on there this time. I was dissapointed when you said you're going to skip the CAGcast for next week. :cry:

[Derwood43]

Good job you guys.

Jimmie reminded me of the guy in the window on the Tom Green Show. Just there to add a quick quip.

Wombat, superb performance.

[jam3582]

that was cool good job guys very funny moments in there .

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:now thats classic lol

[Scorch]

It's annoying as hell sitting there hearing Cheapy and Wombat make fun of the PS2's launch lineup. Sure, looking back it's crap, but when Fantavision first came out, don't even pretend that you weren't like "Those are the best damn graphics i've ever seen in my life". Give me a break, it was great at the time.

I concur. I am probably one of the few that to this day still enjoy Fantavision, though it was originally overpriced. Fun game, simple concept, a blast with friends.

[guardian_owl]

Ah, its driving me nuts, I can't put my finger on what video game tune the remix at the beginning of the show is from, I just know it was a NES game I played a lot of, hmm, oh ya, its that NES motorbike game where you have to dodge left and right to avoid barrels or something right? Arg, what was the name of that.

I like that trivia idea, just make it "Name that Old-School Video Game Tune."

Edit: Dug through my pile of NES games and found it, Mach Rider right?

Oh, and great job guys, it gets better every week.

[DesertEagleXIX]

It's annoying as hell sitting there hearing Cheapy and Wombat make fun of the PS2's launch lineup.

I thought that was great. They made a good point, no matter how shitty the games; you will buy the new hardware. Does anyone remember the Dreamcast launch, three of the titles, Blue Stinger, Hydro Thunder, and Ready2Runble didn't work...

I like looking back on Video Game History, Maybe I'll tell my amusing stories of the Dreamcast or PS2 Launches...

[Friedle]

I can't believe the PS2 launched with that crap. I thought Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec was a launch title. Guess not.

I think the lineup with depends on the first six months to a year. Final Fantasy X moves a lot of units, no? Like I'm sure the was GTA: Liberty Stories will move PSPs and Nintendogs is moving DSes.

[Scorch]

I thought that was great. They made a good point, no matter how shitty the games; you will buy the new hardware.

PSP, anyone?

[ValkyrieVF-1S]

No cagcast next week? :(

Oh wells, good job on this one guys. :D

[Ugamer_X]

PSP, anyone?
The PSP had the one of the strongest system launches (portable or home console) compared to anything else in the past decade.

So, yeah, not sure where you're going with that one.

A launch consisting of, for the post part, rehashed bargain bin titles.

[trent82]

apparently, you guys missed the most recent addition to the gamestop bundle choices. head on over to gamestop's site and check out "THE OMEGA" bundle. it's only $2000.

i like the section about the importance of launch games, but i think there is more to it. sure, the ps2 had a pretty lame lineup, but at the time, sony had a massive following so it didn't really matter. for other companies, at other times, in other situations, i think the quality and variety of the launch titles is very important. i think the 360 is a good example of this. i know that a lot of people would not be willing to throw down $400 for the system and more money for games if there wasn't at least one game that they absolutely had to play, and i think the 360 launch has several different high profile launch games in various genres that are single handedly getting each of their audiences to lay down the cash.

that list isn't complete, but it covers no less than 7 genres, and with each previous game being so highly rated, if gives fans of those genres a lot to look forward to. we're not dealing with fantavisions, eternal rings, and x-squads. these are popular, highly rated games with from established franchises. so, i guess what i'm getting at is...although i liked the part of the show discussing the importance of launch titles, as well as the part talking about xbox 360 bundles, i really do believe people are going to be pleased with this launch lineup. everything listed above is a sequel, but add to that kameo, a game i believe will score no less than 85% on gamerankings when all is said and done, as well as gun and condemned, and i think there are a lot of great games to look forward to. you guys say that it's mostly just a bunch of sequels, which is true, but they are sequels to games that were loved by a lot of people...we're not talking about fusion frenzy 2 or anything.

when i think of the games coming out this fall for all of the systems, and i try to narrow it down to the ones i want most, several of them are on xbox 360, which is enough for me to pick it up at launch.

[Brak]

CAGcast #4 is the best one yet.

WTf? :lol:

[thorbahn3]

Too long. Around 20 minutes is best. Jimmiemac was great, did hear a little bit of an echo in the beginning too. You also forgot to mention that the DS launch was kinda like the PS2's: Feel The Magic and Mario 64 were the only good ones.

I see CheapyD remembered that retarded Dracula remark which made me smile.

And the last thing I must say is that you should hold off on the Xbox 360 and PS3 talk for a couple cagcasts. You have talked about it a little too much lately. Maybe something on the GCN's holiday line up or lack of and thoughts on the PSP and DS.

sorry scorch ps2's launch was shit. hell i got a ps2 8 months after launch and there still wernt that many great games out, it wasnt until sept 01 that the ps2 began picking up steam.

[CheapyD]

Just for some additional perspective, here are review scores from GameSpot for the PS2 launch lineup: http://www.gamespot.com/reviews.html?type=bydate&platform=ps2&order=asc&time=alltime

Thanks for listening and posting your comments!

[MaxBiaggi2]

They made a good point, no matter how shitty the games; you will buy the new hardware.

No, I never buy anything at launch because 1) I hate paying full price, 2) I know the launch games will be trash and 3) I'll be too busy buying clearance games for last generation's systems. Enjoying blowing all your credit (or God forbid cash) on the new systems, games and accessories. I'll join you in about a year or two. :D

[Mike23]

I enjoyed the mention of my name. And the offer is still good. :D

[fatherofcaitlyn]

#4 was excellent.

I got an idea for #5.

Let the CAGs have an idea about the scarcity of the 360 on launch date.

http://biz.gamedaily.com/features.asp?article_id=9890&filter= says there 10 million units worldwide after a year or so, but is there any data on how many units will be around at launch or the percentage of units that will be NTSC?

I know "flipping is wrong", but eBaying a console or two for 100% profit would be hard for anybody (even a diehard CAG) to ignore.

[jkam]

I have enjoyed all the Cagcasts thus far but the last 2 have been better than the first 2. I liked that they were longer as well. #4 didn't even seem like 30 minutes. I love how everyone is complaining about statements you guys made when all along you keep saying they are your opinions. Anyway keep it up these are great.

[crewj]

what's with the echos? humm...

GREAT cast btw! :-D

[shipwreck]

I thought the look back at the launch titles from the PS2 and Xbox was an interesting idea, but you guys didn't go to far in depth on the non-Halo games that were actually good (Project Gotham Racing & Dead Or Alive 3 for example). I think the PS2 sold so well initially on the promise of the franchises that would come out. Metal Gear Solid 2 was getting advertised and previewed pretty heavily back then and people were also looking forward to the next Gran Turismo and Final Fantasy. This will be the same with the Xbox 360 regardless of the launch titles. People are going to be looking forward to Halo 3.

I also hope I never have to hear Wombat compare Fusion Frenzy to Intelligent Qube ever again. Fusion Frenzy is actually a pretty good party game that involves a lot more than just rolling around in American Gladiator balls (that's just one of many mini-games). Intelligent Qube is an excellent puzzle game where you trap cubes to make them disappear. They really have nothing in common except for some bright colors.

It was an interesting Podcast to listen too though, and you guys are doing a good job at mixing it up and coming up with a "format". I like the half hour length, but JimmieMac's skype was pretty bad in places. Overall, this was the best Podcast so far as it branched out a little from what can just be found on the front page of the site. I think this is a good path to take.

[Wombat]

Thanks for the feedback, and I agree about the comparison comment, I should have been specific, the look of the games always seemed simliar to me, the colors and player models, but thats about it, personally I think I just like to hear myself talk, ;)

For the rest of you out there, great comments so far, I dont know why I like it when so much when people disagree with us. I take it mean that some of you actually care about, not just the show, but games as a serious medium. And thats what its all about really, oh and fart jokes, gotta have fart jokes

[evanft]

I think the PS2 was able to sell w/o many really huge launch titles because of the PlayStation name and the promise of future titles. I mean, sure, the PS2 had Madden 2001 and SSX, both of which were fantastic games, but there weren't THAT many great games initially. Gran Turismo 3 did come out in about mid-2001, which by itself justified my purchase of a PS2. Twisted Metal: Black, Dark Cloud, Onimusha, and Klonoa 2 were all great games that came out around the same time. And then, of course, there was the Fall 2001 lineup, which kicked all kinds of ass:

Ace Combat 4
Devil May Cry
Final Fantasy X
Frequency
Grand Theft Auto 3
Ico
Jak and Daxter
Metal Gear Solid 2
Silent Hill 2

So there ya go.

[Mr.Answer]

:bouncy:

[evanft]

I GOT MENTIONED!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!

I feel special.

[zakk]

Sounds like someone is taking a leak during the bundle thing.

[Gator]

You guys are doing a great job. I have to say that this is the one podcast I listen to every week. It's short, it's informative, and it's intersting. kudos.

One thing: not to sound like a fanboy here, but the Gamecube launch wasn't too shabby - Smash Brothers & SW: Rogue Squadron II were pretty awesome games; games that even today are still the best in the cube's lineup (wait a minute... that doesn't sound too good). Super Monkey Ball was a sleeper hit, and SSX Tricky wasn't too bad (although it was a crappy port of the PS2 game).

I was just wondering why your analysis stopped w/ xbox and ps2. The gamecube could almost help prove your point that the quality of the launch titles really doesn't mean much for the console's lifespan.

Come to think of it, the same could be said through comparision of the DS and PSP. Bad launch lineup, leader in sales (as of now), and vice versa. Interesting indeed.

[CheapyD]

I was just wondering why your analysis stopped w/ xbox and ps2. The gamecube could almost help prove your point that the quality of the launch titles really doesn't mean much for the console's lifespan. Definitely a good point. I chalk it up to lack of planning (and time). Wombat and I don't really discuss the show much beforehand. A little chat and a few print outs and we are recording. We have a very brief outline of things we want to talk about and thats basically it.

[Wombat]

Definitely a good point. I chalk it up to lack of planning. Wombat and I don't really discuss the show much beforehand. A little chat and a few print outs and we are recording. We have a very brief outline of things we want to talk about and thats basically it.


Thats pretty much the only reason, I did look for a good list for gamecube lauch titles, but I came up shorthanded.

Yeah intelligent cube (http://www.psxa2z.com/gpgs/BT0461.html) is nothing like fuzion frenzy but when i heard you mention a game where you're "in a cube and you run around" this is what i thought of -- http://www.psxa2z.com/gpgs/BT0119.html the terrible ps1 game "blast chamber" in which you are in fact in a cube and you run around. It's one of the first ps1 games i remember playing and god was it awful.

[Wombat]

OMG thats the game I was thinking of, thats awesome, thanks
I'm tempted to pick it up now.

http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=933986

[punqsux]

blast chamber owns, pick that up and a multitap, lots of fun

[woobacca]

"Although you do spend more money on head wax" - I almost fell off my chair. How do you guys come up with this stuff? I'm looking forward to this like every week now.

I new idea. At the end of every show play a snippet or two from a game. Cag'ers will have to guess the game...Winners get announced on the next show. Who doesn't want to get mentioned on CAGcast?2nd'd. Something like this would be just icing on the cake. Not sure how much effort it would take though.

Thanks again fellas.

haha thats awesome only 3 bucks, and punqsux seems to like it maybe i should pick up a copy and give it a second chance havent played it since I was like 11

[PawnTakesKing]

Another great show, although I'm disappointed about the absence of spontaneous/weird sound clips this time around. I'll also miss not having a CAGcast next week. :(

[cruzincontrol]

I noticed some of my criticisms were taken...not as much of those sound bites...more talk...that 3rd guy sometimes sounded like a subwoofer though....still po'd about the lack of disclosure of the Best Buy Memo...Will THAT EVER surface?.......Also how come no mention of the $2000.00 gamestop xbox bundle...clearly the best of them all... ;-)

[fatherofcaitlyn]

still po'd about the lack of disclosure of the Best Buy Memo...Will THAT EVER surface?

I'm betting Mrs. Cheapy D, a lawyer AND a wife, advised him not to let it loose.

Probably something about risking a lawsuit and/or prison.

[Ivanhoe]

great show. 4th one is the best.


and i agree with launch games not mattering much.

the ps2 games were horrible
and was anyone else pissed when they first put in their first ps2 game first day of launch and saw LOOOOOOOOOAAAAAADDDDDDIIIIINNNNGGGGGGGG.

my first game that day was madden and i was pissed.

without a HDD games will still have to be loaded up which means load times.

now i thought ps2 was going to be so much faster then ps1 and fast load time is what i was hoping for. and obviously we all learned that dvds hold more data = more load times.


this is even going to be more of a problem imo with ps3 and xbox360 with their software able to hold even more data = expect about the same load tims as we have now for games that require loading.

Unless somehow everygame can be loaded in the memory and never needs to access thegame dvd kind of like that first ridge racer for ps1.

good shows and thx for giving us the option to dload them because im screwed and have to dload and listen to them at a different location.

[The Successful Dropout]

im not sure if this has been mentioned or not, but i have a recommendation for future shows...what if you guys had a segment where you talked about the new releases for the following week? and gave your opinion on what'll be good, what'll suck, what'll sell, what'll drop in price quickly,etc...

otherwise, keep up the good work :D

[Epic Wolf]

the first mirror on the Mach Rider..tried slipping me a Trojan boooo , BTw great show :applause: the next one needs to be an hour long ;)

Well that was a terrible post.

[Technique]

wow that was really weird. right as wombat was saying something about evanft at the end, I clicked a topic posted by him. It was like synchronized.

anyways, good show. keep em' comming!

[Mr. Anderson]

Good idea having Jimmie on the show, he didn't dominate. He was the ideal guest.

[rrunner05]

Good show guys...i agree with sucessful dropout...how about reviews on upcoming games and upcoming price drops (?if that's possible). That would run the show to close to 45 min to an hour. But at this point, it's getting better and better with each show.
Love the back and forth w/cheapy d and "the other guy"...u guys got something pretty good for us to hear every week. except this one. :(

[evanft]

wow that was really weird. right as wombat was saying something about evanft at the end, I clicked a topic posted by him. It was like synchronized.

anyways, good show. keep em' comming!

I'm so awesome, aren't I?

Am I the only one who's noticed that CheapyD's head looks kinda like a penis? And am I the only one who finds that arousing? Guess we know what the D stands for, huh?

[radjago]

I'd like to hear you address the CAGs vs CAGers issue.

[JimmieMac]

I'd like to hear you address the CAGs vs CAGers issue.

There is no "issue" , it's CAGs. That's it.

[Brak]

CAGers?

Cheap Ass Gamer-ers?

[CYRiX]

thanx cheapy + wombat and the other guy t hat ps3 news really got me thinking.

[guardian_owl]

CAGers?

Cheap Ass Gamer-ers?
Cheap Ass Game - ers.

[evanft]

CAG=Cheap Ass Gamer. Therefore, CAGs=Cheap Ass Gamers

[The Successful Dropout]

it must be just me, but im always a little weirded out by hearing cheapy say "CAG" like a word...i've always spelled it out

[Friedle]

it must be just me, but im always a little weirded out by hearing cheapy say "CAG" like a word...i've always spelled it out

It's not just you.

It's not just you.
Yeah, it's an acronym, which are usually spelled out. It's just weird to hear at as cag instead of CAG.

Yeah, I know that. CAG sounds too much like KEG, which makes us sound like a bunch of drunks wanting to save money on our games to get more booze. I bet there's plenty here that use their savings on booze, but not 30k, or there's a problem with that. :lol:

[FaintDeftone]

CheapyD CAG Cast#4 the best really enjoyed the 15 minutes. My new ipod really likes it. Good to talk about the 360. I wonder if Cag Cast #5 will be like freakin 1 HOUR!!!!!

[Brak]

it must be just me, but im always a little weirded out by hearing cheapy say "CAG" like a word...i've always spelled it out

When I read "CAG", I read it as "Cheap Ass Gamer".

You should talk about the alternatives to bundles.

If you have it on your computer with the windows media player put it on double speed (a button at the end of the green bar). It is funny.

or the ever-popular LASER.

I didn't really think it was an issue as much as it just annoyed me to see people use CAGers. I thought Cheapy might help lay down the law and put it to rest.

I like the word CAG...it makes me think of Cogs from the Jetson's. I guess I'm old... I will shut up and go back to the retirement home now. :)

[thorbahn3]

Where is CAGcast number 5!!!

[CheapyD]

Next CAGcast will likely be from Tokyo.
I leave tomorrow to apartment hunt and attend Tokyo Game Show.
