good show. Raptr does track Far Cry 3 correctly.

I beat the game yesterday .. 53 hrs..

awesome game but the endings where lame.

Just wanted to say that this episode has to be one of my favorites. You guys just had me laughing the entire way through, and that Crossfire outro I'm literally crying.

But then again it is 4AM, and everything's funny at this time. So I'll listen again at work later and hopefully it still holds up.

listening now - since I can't get access to work computers (stupid password was reset by corporate and no one wants to help me) and my cable seems to be frozen (I have a still picture of Early Cuyler up on my TV) all I can do is listen the CAGcast.

Well... I could play a game or something, but who does that any more!?

Wombat has a Macbook? Megaton.

Congrats on the MacBook Wombat!

Ship was right last episode on nintendo. When most console lauched the systems offered a huge leap in power. I remember when the super nintendo launched. Nintendo was like their system can do 16000 colors our can do 32000 or something to that effect.

. Then during the life of the system the console would really start to show it's strength. Like Mode 7 etc. The controller was revolutionary. One actually built for gamers.

I remember the weeks of hype with sneak peaks of an awesome games like Super Metroid showing off the power of their console. I really miss them days. I have a wii u deluxe and it is unopened. I also believe the wii was the most sold least played console in the history of console gaming.

Nintendo needs to go big like microsoft or go the way of the dinosaur like sega. I am still trying to find out how nintendo was humbled. If you would have told me during the super nintendo era that they would be okay putting out weaker consoles I would have told you you were crazy.

IMO they never recovered from the n64 debacle. Sorry for the rant but it would be nice to seee nintendo seriously back in the game.

Crossfire!

Crossfire!

I have been listening to both of these video game podcast for over a couple of years and based on overall entertainment value Cagcast is a better product. Even though, the Giantbomb staff may have more in depth video game discussions sometimes their dissection of a video game becomes so clinical that I become disinterested because it's "polygon" overkill.
Also, I enjoy the gab of the gruesome threesome over the shooting the breeze intros of the awesome fivesome. I enjoy listening more to Cheapy's family stories than Jeff Gerstmann's food conquest. Patrick Klepek and Joe Shoemaker are the most enjoyable personalities of Bombcast. Jeff Gerstmann's options are so jaded, he borderlines annoying. Cheapy, Wombat and Shipwreck may be more laxed but thats what games are about having a good time and a greater podcast from another is how much enjoyment the listener has for those 1-2 hours.
C is better that G so V.D.O your way Out! Cakes done.

Wombat should know the console version of Far Cry 3 is a big step down from the PC version Cheapy has been playing. I'm going to wait till I get a new PC to play it, like I waited till I got a gaming PC in 2007 to play Far Cry (which was released way back in March, 2004).

I got Dishonored on Black Friday but still haven't started it because I've been playing games on my new Vita and 3DS XL. Looking forward to it, though.

Wombat, you said Farcry didn't receive much promotion. I just wanted to mention that I've been seeing it on the front page of the Steam store everyday for about the last two weeks, so maybe they are just aiming for PC market.

I'm surprised CheapyD didn't mention the Foosball game as his underdog game of the year.

XBOX 360 Console Launch Prices

I am curious of the what the PS4 and the new Xbox launch prices will be and if they will have multiple SKUs.

Cheapy,

Why do you keep saying the last Far Cry took place on a tropical island? Far Cry 2 took place in Africa. Other than that goof up the show was great.

BTW: Did you ever hang out a Spize in Farmingdale?

My current favorite thing to do in Far Cry 3 is drive through the jungle, full throttle on one of the Quads. Flying/crashing off the side of a mountain into the canopy below, all while in first person, is pretty exhilarating!

Pro-tip for hunting sharks: get a gun boat and drive around until you spot one. Shoot it then dive down to skin it.

Shipwreck. The mission you're on, one of the side missions you can do is finish it without killing anyone. It doesn't tell you about it, but switch to your fists for your weapon. If you kill someone with your fists whether it's stealth or in combat, it doesn't count as a kill. Or atleast it didn't count as a kill.

So just wait in the bushes, kill the guy who comes by, go to each cannon and kill all the enemies there, disable the cannons, then follow the guys to finish it off. If you don't kill everyone else, it's very hard to follow the people without getting caught.

Anyways. I'd recommend just quitting the game now. The missions throughout the rest of the game are as shi**y as the missions you've already been on. You'll get very bored later on and just start rushing through the game to just finish it. The game doesn't deserve the hype it received.

I won?! What?! Thank you CheapyD! And thank you Marvelous Entertainment.

MS & Sony should copy the entire controller. I don't see any downsides to the Gamepad compared to a traditional controller except cost. The touchscreen is awesome for the tv remote functionality, taking extraneous crap off the tv screen, new ways to play, looking up something quick on the 'net and continuing some games sans TV.

Cheapie not interested in Wii U and Shipwreck not having enough games to play on a just launched console? News at eleven.

LOL @ jewish ladies in NY.

Last 5 min are epic!
