Hey cheapy
I was just wondering cos im not sure what day does the podcast come out ?
I have them but just not sure what day
Thanks

On the issue of Shipwreck; I do enjoy him on the show but I would like it better if he was on for just part of the show (during the video game discussions) instead of on throughout the whole show.

Yeah, and after that whole Demons Souls thing he did where he claimed the game was harder for the US release and then finding out his info was wrong just made me question his info in general.

I like Wombat and CheapyD alone, and Shipwreck once in a while on every 20 or so shows? Just bring back Foreplay, i think you guys can make it work somehow, there has to be a time when you 2 can do it.

Yeah, I can see how someone making a mistake would just be the worst thing in the world.

Totally offsets the fact that he's a nice guy, a great straight man for the other two, and probably the best informed gamer of the podcast.

Geez.

Wow! Come on somebody makes a mistake and you question his info in general.
But I do agree about CheapyD and Wombat, I prefer this team. I think Shipwreck knows a lot more about video games than half of the people on CAG. I hope we will see CAG Foreplay again.
I listen to CAG Foreplay for info on video games and CAGcast for entertainment.

Sheesh, there's a lot of Wombat haters here! The guy shares a funny story, and everyone jumps down his throat, WTH? So what have you learned Wombat? No personal stories, seems everyone likes the show drab and boring. And wrap that baby in bubble wrap, cuz otherwise you'll have a horde of CAG's pouncing on your every mistake. lol

During your Nintendo talk you touched on the fact that the black version of the Wiimote and Nunchuck are making their way stateside, and I had a flashback to the days before the Wii came out when it was still called the "Revolution".

In 2005-2006, Nintendo's marketing people went on and on about how this console was going to take a departure from the standard white/black/gray and come in a wide variety of colors, at launch right? I specifically remember photos showing the Revolution/Wii in red, green, silver, etc.

So now a full 3 years Nintendo is throwing us a black Wiimote as the only color option. Does anyone else think that this is really lame? I mean, we occasionally get a colorful DS model but the Wii has been stuck in white for 3 years and they led everyone to believe that they were going to give us more options for the hues of our consoles.

I'm not really complaining, and I don't care that much about Wii colors, I guess I just wish that when games/consoles are announced and bragged about at tradeshows that these companies would follow through and deliver on the features that are supposed to make their products great.

This is exactly the same as Microsoft promising that the Live Marketplace would be a place you could make REAL money, or SONY talking about cross-game invites on the PS3. These companies can get away with delivering some of the features at launch and then once they've made their money, they haphazardly throw us the features they talked about in the beginning.

Here's an Engadget post from 2005 - http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/18/m...do-revolution/

Also, if anyone cares about colored Wii consoles I guess you could go to http://www.colorwarepc.com and get that done but I'm sure most people would rather have the choice up front.

To be fair out of all the times I have listened to Shipwreck that is the only mistake I've heard him say. His knowledge of video games is way more than either of the two hosts. He even came on the following week and acknowledged his mistake. He is only bad to have on when Cheapy is talking about drugs imo.

I think people took it the wrong way, but the problem with that info was that he made all 3 hosts rage about how Demons Souls supposedly had higher difficulties.

Yeah, i take back what i say about questioning his info now, he does know a lot, Wombat and Cheapy make a hell a lot more mistakes.

Not a permanent host, just every once in a while to spice it up

CheapyD I know you've heard this a lot already but I thought I would add my vote to to the, please give us more Shipwreck on the CAGCast! I would love to hear more from him in the future, gracias.
