Woot! I was hoping you'd do one tonight. Your so random lately.

[RandyTsai]

nice stuff

[Msia]

Is it always this slow downloading off the main site? Maybe its just the gay NAT router my complex has setup but my download only gets a few kb and then freezes.

[Ikohn4ever]

good, I always need more fart, cock, and gay jokes in my life

[Kaijufan]

I still need to listen to 13-16.

[CheapyD]

Is it always this slow downloading off the main site? Maybe its just the gay NAT router my complex has setup but my download only gets a few kb and then freezes.I'm pretty sure its you.

By the way, I just realized that I FORGOT TO READ thorbahn3's questions!
Complete oversight...do'h! Is this the first one that doesn't have a question from him? I'm guessing we must have missed him before at least once.

[DT778]

cool, ill listen to this at work tomorrow.

[levi333]

Something screwed up with my download. First, it took way to long, and second its only 43:47 long...
Strange, ill have to re-download it.

[peteyrose]

Good commentary on the 1up plagiarism bit. Their half-assed response sickens me, and I've lost respect for the organization forever.

[FriskyTanuki]

:lol: You guys seem to cut off a little bit of the ending conversation all the time. Otherwise, good show. It seems Cheapy's making a habit of the burping. :lol:

[thorbahn3]

Oh it's alright. You can plug vgpub.com in the next cagcast if your beating yourself up that bad. Damn, Skype sure is dicking with your show. Also I totally agree with you on 1up.com's behavor. That was the best part despite what Wombat says.

[Renegade_Zero]

Awesome episode cheapy. and yes, in the cagbag section, I did mean Sega, wtf was I Thinking?

[The Successful Dropout]

listening right now....as always, very interesting

[theq87]

So, eh, mods, any way I can get my username changed to "CheapyQ"?

I've got a cheap CAGcast knockoff to broadcast.

$5 says someone registers that username sometime today

[CheapyD]

$5 says someone registers that username sometime todayI'll take that bet ;)

[The Successful Dropout]

I'll take that bet ;)

oh, but my fingers were crossed :lol:

oh yeah...and right or wrong, I've always pronounced Mario as Mar e o...rhymes with "car be slow"...it always weirds me out when I hear it pronounced any other way

[daphatty]

@Wombat - Do you really need to ask who is buying the 50 cent game?

...

A: Poor, inner-city kids who buy into the glorification of violence portrayed by Hip-Hopsters these days.


Also, NY'kers can't pronounce Maaaaaario. :lol:


EDIT: What, you guys don't own a Steel Battalion controller?

No kidding, I'm in downtown Baltimore for college, and I stopped by GameStop a few weeks ago. Local black kids seem to be their main customers, and in the 10 minutes I was in the store, literally 3 different groups came up to the counter and asked about the 50 cent game.

[kojubat]

Fun cast. Thanks.

And wave hello as you zoom by on a coaster, Wombat. I'm about ten minutes away from the parks.

[bil4ltool]

LOL at the fact that the horrible 50 Cent game actually sold a million copies, makes real gamers look somewhat ignorant.

[evanft]

It's Mar-e-oh

[ryanbph]

good show, with wombat going away on vacation, will there be guest co - hosts?

[Wombat]

good show, with wombat going away on vacation, will there be guest co - hosts?

I'll only be gone from a wednesday to a wednesday, so I shouldnt miss any shows, you vulture!

[The Successful Dropout]

i shed a tear when i heard wombat was going on vacation ;o\

[Monsta Mack]

Good Cagcast as always but two things.

I was able to use my giftcard from EB on their website for pre-orders, so u can use store credit on their site as long as they put it on a seperate card.

Also I don't think Conker and Forza are backwards.

Edit: NM Forza is, Conker isn't.

I almost died laughing when you guys mentioned the 50 cent game.

[Wombat]

according to XBOX.com forza is, Conker is not, which is surprising because you can buy a Conker gamer pic on marketplace

[DT778]

stick to nes music in the intro.

good cagcast, as always.

[rywateska]

Hahaha... If anyone wants Winter Olympics, complete and mint!, it can be found in my tradelist http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=82016 Thanks for the positive publicity! ...Too funny :)

[WhipSmartBanky]

Another great CAGcast!

Wombat, it seemed like you hung back a little this week - don't let ill-humored douchebags get you down...keep doing what you do.

[theq87]

Wombat's hilarious.

So hey, err, if I ask a lil' something to the tune of "Wombat, be thine wit divine or the fruit of the mortal mind", will I make it into the CAGbag? Cause I'll ask. Oh, you watch me.

Hmm...David is the name of the host (or whatever) of the Gay Trucker show. Tell me that's not a Mr. David Abrams. :lol:

[CheapyMom]

Good show but enough with the disgusting sound effects from Cheapy! It sounds like he was raised in a barn. (Wombat's mother apparently did a better job than Cheapy's in terms of teaching basic social skills. :cry: )

Please spare us in the future.

I wrote a cheesy ass kissing review per request. :D

[2Fast]

I can't get enough of the CAGcast.

Thanks! Keep 'em coming! (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=78311760)

[morpheusxp]

Cheapy your sound fx rule! You should have moved to LA and been a sound edditor.

[Wombat]

Due to Cheapy having "other plans" there will be no show tonight, so looks like next show should be wed. 2/8, In meantime review us on Itunes, thanks.

[Reality's Fringe]

Other plans!? Outrage. Utter outrage.

[CheapyD]

Other plans = bettering myself at Japanese school (my first day!).

[rabbitt]

Good luck at school. Maybe you can teach us a new Japanese word for every new CAGcast.

[sying]

When is the new CAGcast? I need my crack!

[shipwreck]

Other plans = bettering myself at Japanese school (my first day!).

I hope the other kids didn't make fun of you.

Yes, Mrs. Wombat actually suggested that as well. I think perhaps a short Your Man In Japan segment might be decent.

When is the new CAGcast? I need my crack!Wombat returns from vacation this week, so...this week!

The funny thing about that picture is that my chair is actually pretty small...luckily the class is only an hour and a half otherwise my ass would be totally asleep.

[radjago]

That would be really cool. You should have local guests, like that guy who showed you around Akihabara.

[salmonaxxx]

I think I was hallucinating, but I swore I saw a CAGcast #18 newspost when I checked the site last night on my cell phone... am I crazy, or just stupid?
