Dead Space 3 is almost here.

yah, Wombat's right. You mention it in EVERY podcast. :P

Disney infinity starter set comes with three playsets, incredibles, pirates, monsters univ.

the single packs are 12.99 and three packs 29.99

power disc packs come with two discs. At 4.99

playset packs believe to come with 2 figures associated with the playset. Which are ones not included with the base game.

I found a huge article with all the information.
in case anyone else was wondering. I thought I would share that info.

here is the site link

It is way too early to declare Smartglass a failure. It will take at least a year before you see major integration into games. Think of how XBLA was launched on the original Xbox and compare that to where it is now. the problem is people expect every feature to be fully backed and every use case to be fairly explored in six months.

In the spirit of Devil May Cry fans I have not seen Ultimate Spider-man, but I instantly hate it.

If you ever need some help with the game Cheapy, all you need to do is ask haha! Love the show guys!

Fifa 12 on 360 is my go-to game for fun, quick distractions...I set the game to easy, shortest game possible, play as a striker and let the AI do all the defending. I typically win anywhere from 8-16 to nothing.

Also play longer, more serious games from time to time but mindless entertainment is my preferred mode...

I love how Cheapy tried to act like he never talks about TAC! C'mon, Cheapy, Tokyo American Club is like the new Jean Snow of the CAGcast.

Don't get me wrong, though, I love hearing about your life in Japan, so don't stop talking about it.

Shipwreck was missed. Cheapy and Wombat just breezed past the Borderlands 2 DLC "Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt." Those Borderlands 2 DLCs are huge. Equal in size to a full XBLA game. I think Shipwreck would've at least mentioned what they story was about.

Can't tell if this was a joke/sarcastic? The newest Borderlands 2 DLC takes 45 minutes, better than $15 map pack money grabs of other games sure, but still...

Mentioning something every other episode is not mentioning it too much. Whatever's on our hosts' minds is what we'll hear about. Talking about sports and comic books, on the other hand.

Re: Disneylanders
Disney is missing the point at $35. Anyone with kids old enough to spend money understands how important the $10 bottom line price point is. That is a figure every week for many kids on their allowance, or a figure a month for my kids. $35 is a stretch goal for a kid.

These things are a hunk of plastic with a 10 cent RF chip. The reason Skylanders worked is because they priced it as low as they reasonably could without making it seem worthless (like at the McDonalds toy level). Disney has priced the add-ons as high as they possibly could (if $35 is true), and success is far from assured at the phenom level Skylanders has reached. Agree with you guys. Disneylanders is not an attractive proposition as a parent or kid.



Riptorsogate:
Did anyone notice that there was an apology, but no commitment to stop preorders on that package. Sounds like a planned publicity grab!



Smartglass:
I enjoy looking at achievements on it. But if you play Dance Central 3, it's fantastic for setting up a playlist. Leave it to Harmonix to get it right. Too bad Rock Band 3 doesn't allow you to make setlists with it. What do you think about Smartglass being an experiment for the next console generation? I think Wii-U is just coming to market before the next gen consoles with tabletability. PS4 or Xbox 3 will have tablet interactivity, and Smartglass is a test case for Microsoft.

What a great quote.

Swelled with Rochester pride at the beginning of the show , to the point that I went out and got a garbage plate.

Wombat, I think you hit the nail on the head this will be the year of the backlog. Not too much I'm looking forward to this year. I also have too much to play and not enough time. I shudder to think that even Shipwreck can't play everything.

Holy sellout Batman! That ting spot was weird...i almost threw up a little (just had stomach flu).
