CheapyD on TV!

[CheapyD]

This Thursday, Feb 5th, CheapyD is scheduled to appear on Cold Pizza, a TV show which airs live from 7AM to 9AM EST on ESPN2. There is a rebroadcast immediately afterwards from 9AM-11AM EST.

I'm not really sure what is going to happen specifically, other than I am supposed to be previewing Winning Eleven 7 for the PS2.

Be on the look out for a very tall guy with a shaved head that looks something like this:

http://www.cheapassgamer.com/mt/images/game%20images/cheapydthug1.gif

So, in anticipation of being on the show, I picked up a used copy of Winning Eleven 6 yesterday, because I know the WE series is supposed to be challenging, and I didn't want to embarass myself on national TV.
I played for a few hours last night and I have yet to score a goal. This is not like EA's Fifa games where you can expect to be doing spin-o-ramas and scoring bicycle kick goals after playing for 10 minutes.

...looks like I have a lot more homework to do.

Anyone have any tips?

p.s. Does anyone have the means to record this onto their computer? It would be nice if I could post the clip on CAG.

Is there a tutorial program, or something cheapy?

Hmm...I'm gonna try to keep it real low key so I get invited back.
Perhaps they'll have me on to talk about cheap ass gamer at some point.

Luckily there is, but the game is still very challenging.

[JimmieMac]

Unplug the other guys controller during the game Then look right at the camera and hit 'em with a

"That was a Cheap Ass move from ME CheapyD, for more Cheap Ass deals check out my site, www Dot cheapassgamer Dot com."

After seeing your Tony Hawk character, the only words that came to mind were Dr. Evil.

Wow...now THAT's cheap! :D

[punqsux]

its really not that hard of a game, i agree you dont score 6-7 times a game but i can usually squeak 1 or 2 past the keeper, on normal difficulty, what were you playing on?

[simpsonps121]

Try to play a staggered 2 forwards at the top. And make the last pass to that guy when in the box. Don't just rip shots. It is useless. The ball will rebound if you pass for a close shot, and then your other forwards will knock it in.

The other thing - watch fatigue and hot streaks. It makes a big difference. If a guy is on a cold streak, he will miss point blank. :-)

The game is hard to score, but very rewarding between the boxes.

Take Care,
Matthew

[SS4Brolly]

Sounds good. Make sure to give some sort of reminder then, because Im sure Ill forget.

[daphatty]

You definitely should be wearing a CAG T-shirt! Good luck!

[TheRock88]

Good luck, I'm sure everything will be alright. BTW, what difficulty setting did you put it at Cheapy?

[CheapyD]

Good luck, I'm sure everything will be alright. BTW, what difficulty setting did you put it at Cheapy?

Whatever the default settings are.
I only got to play for an hour or so...will give it more time tonight.

[bmac1632]

i will say that i am really good at the game so if you want tips i could help you...just email me at bmac1632@hotmail.com

the best way to get used to the game style is to start on easy...the comp will give you more time on the ball so you can get used the game...lol dont ever compare fifa to this game...fifa is pure arcade while WE is a complete strategic game...Fifa is like checkers while WE is like chess...anyway if you want help then email me...it is hard to explain this game on a forum because my tips are very lengthy and wordy...so if you want help just email otherwise good luck because WE is a very hard game even for soccer players...in the US we dont know the finer points of the game that well which you need to know to be successful

[jdpimp]

p.s. Does anyone have the means to record this onto their computer? It would be nice if I could post the clip on CAG.

Well, I'll ReplayTV it, which I can then transfer to my computer, and then maybe I can do something with it from there. I'll try and see what I can do, but I've only had the ReplayTV since christmas and have yet to try this transfer thing out. So don't count on me, but I'll see what I can do... Also, I have a dvd burner so if I can't figure how to edit the video, maybe I'll just burn ya the dvd and let you or someone else try the editing. But on the same token, I don't have my dvd burner installed yet and so don't count on me for that either. But dammit, I'll try..... :)

[bmac1632]

also when you preview it i think it would be a good idea to discuss the differences between FIFA and WE...i know many are uninformed about WE

[Prometheus]

You definitely should be wearing a CAG T-shirt! Good luck!

amen to that, and good luck too! Though lying low on the plugs may be a good idea, as you've said :)

[Scrubking]

Cool.

Just make sure to act intelligent - don't let the tv people make you look like a stupid gamer geak or something. Make sure you are confident and whatever you do don't look into the cameras directly - either look at who you are talking with or to the side or something. Also don't be long winded in your answers/explanations cause they will have to cut you off to either ask you another question or commercial, and that never makes you look good. Try to answer their questions direcetly and don't go off on a tangent unless it is to promote your site.

Anyway. good luck Cheapy.

maybe Cheapy will become the new preview guy. Once I saw some people on there talking about the new games and they really just let the people talk about what they want and then interject at the end.

[master_evil]

If you played past fifa games, you may want to change the layout of the controls. In WE6 to shoot you have to press square and you do a cross over by using the circle button, when in fifa is reversed. Shoot in fifa is circle and cross over is square. Go to the tutorial menu, I didn't know how to play but when I got to the tutorial everything was good and now I'm really good at this game. And finally, practice, practice, practice. You may want to start at 1 star first so that you get the hang of it and know how to score from different possitions, then you can go up 2 starts or more, but first you gotta know how to score.

[CheapyD]

Thanks for the advice guys, I'm gonna try to play as much as possible today and tomorrow...too bad I have a job, its starting to be a real inconvenience ;)

[The Cheapest Ass Gamer]

Wow, congrats on the TV appearance, CheapyD. And I thought it was big when you got those mentions from EGM and XBN!

[TJordan522]

That's really cool, congrats. By the way, how did you get invited to be on the show?

[bluenatas09]

Congrats man, that rocks. And Winning Eleven kicks ass..I work at EBgames and I paid mine off the other day. I can't wait. I've been playing Winning eleven 6 for a while now and it's pretty damn satisfying when you actualy score...

[Medium_Pimpin]

Im curious as why thier picking you to review WE.

On another note, i have this video of some MSN broadband reporter reviewing NFL street... he keeps using slang terms and comes off as the whitest guy on the planet... i reccomend a view for a chuckle.

[bmac1632]

when does we 7 come out?

also with WE you can not be as direct as you were with FIFA...a good rule of thumb in WE is when you have the ball and going to attack the defense never use the sprint button (r1) use the modified sprint (r2)...it is faster than normal dribbling but slower than sprint dribbling...it allows you to move at a good speed but at the same time have the ability to keep the ball close just in case you need to manuver around a defender...also when you are playing defense always use r1 to get ahead of the attacker and into good defense position to make the tackle

"p.s. Does anyone have the means to record this onto their computer? It would be nice if I could post the clip on CAG"


I have a tv tuner card so I can record it onto my computer. Good luck with the show.

[Rubberlegs]

Good luck. I watch this and Sportscenter while getting ready for work. Post how hot Kat is in person. I think she's cute.

[monkeyf1]

CheapyD, how'd you get the gig? You know someone from the show? Good luck.

[Sn0brawler]

7-9 Eastern Time?

If I'm not mistaken, we've now got two people saying they'll try to digitize it. Still...

We should have ANYONE with the needed parts (Tivo / ReplayTV / Tuner card and software) try to record the show...just in case something goes wrong with the two that have agreed to.

We all know how Windows can be...

[WhipSmartBanky]

Cool! Congrats, Cheapy...we'll look for you.

[spincut]

meh, cold pizza sucks........but put in the microwave and that's one nice-a microwaved pizza :P

[bmac1632]

i like cold pizza but not the show...its very boring morning show compared to sportscenter

[equality]

CheapyD, how'd you get the gig? You know someone from the show? Good luck.

I actually wondered the same thing.

[Pinnacle]

Why do they want you on the show? Im just curious is all.

Though I am all in favor of this, my wallet kindly asks that you not plug the site gratuitously. Or maybe, do, but tell people not to buy stuff off of it untill
I have.

[games2003]

Did you read the link? It says...

E-mail us if you live in the New York City area and are interested in playing and previewing Konami's forthcoming Winning Eleven 7 live in our studio this Thursday, 2/5/04 with our Gamers duo Sundance DiGiovanni and Eric Kolovson.

Philly != NYC

[satan0]

Cool.

I don't watch ESPN ever but I will definately check it out.

Did you check GameFAQs? GF usually has some kind of small walkthrough for every game. I haven't ever heard of the game. But then again I'm not a sports game fan, much less a soccer fan.

Anyhow, usually the small walkthroughs are more tip oriented than the large ones. Since it is a sports game and less heard of it will probably have a small walkthrough. Oddly that is a good thing.

You could also ask if anyone has any tips on the PS2 general board. The general boards usually have thousands of people that have played the most unknown games made.

I was assuming you had a GF account. But if you don't you need to be hit with some random blunt object.

[Murcielago77]

is this going to on in the beginning, middle or end? Like 6:00, 6:30, 7:00 or 7:30?

[JohnnyDrama]

For some reason I thought it was going to happen on Wednesday, but anyway, now I'll get to watch tomorrow. Good luck, CheapyD!

[SINNED]

I've seen them preview videogames on Cold Pizza (They do that every thursday). They were playing the new Nascar game using Wheel-Controllers and they were all confused on how to work the thing.

So whatever you do...don't play Winning Eleven 7 with a wheel-controller!!

Good Luck.

[Spiritseed]

CHEAPYD IS ON RIGHT NOW EST

That woulda been cool if he had a CAG shirt on instead of the controller one.

[danh920]

lookin' good Cheapy D, if anyone wants to catch the 9am rerun, he'll be on about 25 minutes into the show

[moo]

I just saw cheapyD. It's kinda hard to see you sometimes unless they do a frontal shot cuz you get stuck between those 2 other guys.

Did anyone notice that one of the guys said the girl's name was Shamus when they were reviewing Metroid Zero? lol

[Helmski]

Cheapy,
You did fine. I have it recordede on Tivo. I can trsansfer this to the computer and then make some files for you to use.
Stay tuned,

kph

[m_d_amore]

Its on again right now damn cheapy you sound like The Giant lol jk Good job!!!

[CheapyD]

Thanks guys...it was really fun.

Thanks to the ESPN Cold Pizza crew for a great time.

I hope to be invited back soon and maybe even talk about cheap ass gamer!

[ft]

I just saw Cheapy (10:34 am). Apparently ESPN constanly re-runs this show just like SportsCenter.

I feel like such a starfucker now.

[moiety]

Yeah I'm watching it now! Good job, CheapyD! Too cool!

[m_d_amore]

When did Metroid turn Amish???

[Sundance]

HEY -

Cheapyd more than held his own today. He schooled Eric most of the time (i was too busy playing Metroid).

Anyyway man - it was great to meet you, I'll be sure to hit you up next time we have guest gamers on.

Actually, Eric beat me the first game 1-0. I was up the second game 1-0, but we didn't get a chance to finish.
Thanks for trying to make me look good on my own site, though :wink:

I had a great time and would love to come back anytime you would have me.

Thanks for all your support CAGs, and if someone has the video clips, drop me an email and I'll find a way for you to get them to me.

[Matt]

I caught it on TiVo. Good job, must have been fun.

[Machine]

I swear Cheapy looks like a bald Bill Laimbeer in some of those pictures!

You did great! It was so cool to finally see the face behind this website that I love so much... 8)

Hope they ask you back again...and wishing you continued success!!!

[st0neface]

Hey CheapyD, how tall are you? I'm 6'3" and you look like you'd make me look short.

[Osh Kosh B'iotch]

Am I wrong, or did everyone think CheapyD would look more like this:

http://www.danbrady.net/cag/cheapyd.jpg

[bmac1632]

CheapyD....i got two questions...how was WE7? and did you get anything for appearing on tv?

[drfrielgood]

I gotta admit C-Money, you're a lot better looking than I imagined. The THUG pic actually resembles you quite well. I love the comparison to Bill Laimbeer. He was the man!

[Anonymous]

CheapyD, congratulations. You really need to get a shirt made with the website URL though. That would be great advertising.

[CheapyD]

1) I'm 6'4".
2) osh kosh biotch, that picture is freaking me out.
3) WE7 is excellent. Its a soccer fan's dream.
4) I also got to try Metroid Zero Mission, it brought back some fond memories.
5) I got a Cold Pizza t-shirt and a WE7 jersey (the red one I was wearing).

[Anonymous]

1a) Yet he's 6'10" with afro.

[blookie]

Stupid website. That was me, no one take credit for my witty rejoinder.

[The Cheapest Ass Gamer]

For some reason, I expected Cheapy to look a lot younger and geekier. :)

[bmac1632]

i thought cheapyD would look like screech...he is my favorite tv character of all time...or maybe george constanza too

[daphatty]

I'd hate to meet CheapyD in a dark alley... 8-[

[Gothic Walrus]

You won't like him when he's angry...

[Anonymous]

That was a nice performance on ESPN2. How did CheapyD end up getting on that show anyway? Does he work in the game industry?

[The-Bavis]

One more question for CheapyD:

Were you uncomfortable watching yourself whenever they showed you from the camera on top of the TV? It looked like someone was taking aim at your babbalones!

[CheapyD]

The gentleman who is managing the PR for WE7 was kind enough to help get me on the show.

If you live in NYC and are willing to be there at 6:30AM, you can go to the Cold Pizza website and email them when they are looking for gamers.

When they were filming us playing the game, I really didn't know we were on TV...I was just trying to score!

I thought cheapy would resemble the mascot for monopoly, with the big black tophat, and a monacle.
