I was wondering Wombat. I am about to come to new york and was wondering. what is the best pizza there I mean Pizza so good it will make me WANT to live there?

Cheapy D and Wombat. Is there any game that you would like to try on the old gaming systems(Ps2,Xbox,Gamecube,Etc..) that you would want to go back to and try. Or one that you would want to finish?

Hey Cheapy and Wombat if you could remove one game series from EVER existing what would it be? It would not affect other game series that were inspired by it, so it's okay to say Mario.. it's Mario isn't it?

Hey cheapy and wombat, Mainly for cheapy this question since its about Japan, But. After watching a recent an episode of top gear (a car program over here in the UK, I think its on in america but not sure) In one episode the 3 presenters have a race across Japan one presenter being in a nissan GTR and the other two being in a bullet train, One presenter takes out his mobile phone and starts talking and according to the show the Japanese find it rude that you use you phone on public transport so I just wonder if it was true?

Also did you know on the UK xbox dashboard show "the insiders" they used wombats quote of stay classy xbox live as an outro?

Hey Cheapy and Wombat (and hopefully Shipwreck),

Have you heard of Gamestop's new "deals" that guarantee you $40 in trade-in value if you pre-order a game and trade it back within 1 month of release?

Personally I think this is a terrible idea, but I would like to hear your input.

Hey guys -

I wanted to you two to weigh in on the onslaught of incredible gaming deals (Amazon, Toys R Us, Best Buy's Buy 2 get 1 free promotions) that have been upon this "holiday" season before Black Friday.

All of these deals suggest that retails are having a hard time selling recently released games and that they are begging people to preorder games so they have gamers' business locked up.

So that's the core of my question - with retailers slashing new game prices, is it time that publishers get rid of the $60 price point? Every other market is collapsing yet gaming prices continue to rise - thoughts?

By the way that Windows 7 Whopper made my heart hurt.

OK, here are a few ideas for the CAG Market:

CAGporuim

CAGMart

Or you could always just name it "Free Porn". That might increase your traffic.

Hey Cheapy -

Have you tried the Azuki Pepsi yet? One of my favorite things to do when I was on exchange in Nagoya a few years ago was try all the ridiculous soda flavors.

Cheapy,

where is this amazing box moving story?

I have been playing a lot of GTA Episodes from Liberty City (which is great by the way, any GTAIV fan owes it to themselves to pick it up) and it made me wonder, I know you guys never played much of GTAIV, but what are your thoughts on the other games in the series? Were you ever a fan?

And I second that amazing box moving story, it's about time you told us.

Hi CheapyD (and Wombat). It was good to hear you talk about Forza 3 on the last show, but I would like to hear more of your thoughts on the multiplayer side of it. There is quite a controversy raging on Turn 10's official forums, with most there seeing it as a big step backwards from Forza 2. As far as I know this hasn't been picked up by any main-stream games journalists, and the limitations of the new system weren't made clear in any of the reviews or pre-release publicity.

In case you don't know, the issue is this: Turn 10 took out custom public lobbies and replaced them with Halo-like matchmaking. You can still set up games the way you could in Forza 2, but only in private. This means if you don't have many friends playing Forza you will have to use the matchmaking system, which is currently limited to very few options (also you better learn to like destruction derby).

Fly-by-night casual players may be happy with matchmaking but the more serious ones will probably be hidden away in private matches - ironic for a game that is supposedly all about "the community". Even if the matchmaking system improves it will never be able to provide the level of customization people want in a game with many thousands of possible configurations (cars, classes, tracks, no. of laps, damage, assists, etc). Forza 2 had a very long online shelf-life but I'm not sure Forza 3 will have the same. What do you think?

Good show guys.

Cheapy you mentioned that you had zero dates in high school and I'm in the same situation. But you and wombat said that it all gets better in college. Well I'm 19 and I got accepted to University of California when I was a senior last year. Finacial aid gave me the maximum student loan for freshmen - $5,000. This left a $20,000 loan for my parents. They refused to pay for it, so now I'm still living at home going to the junior college down the street. This has left me extremely depressed. What should I do?

Platinum games, kinda put SEGA back on the map.... w/ Bayonetta, do you guys think that SEGA should do more with this studio... (i.e. having them remake some SEGA IPs, maybe expanding on the 4-game deal that they presently have..., or just expanding and/or purchasing the studio)

Also, do you think Bayonetta should be the new mascot for SEGA? [if possible]


additional question: I wanted to know if you guys think that the 360 Modern Warefare 2 [Holiday Bundle] will be more or less successful than the 2008 Family Pack 360 bundle which included lego indiana Jones, and kung fu panda? [Basically I'm testing Wombat's theory of bundles with Mature rated games in them]

and for more fun... Does the 299 PS3 sell well against the 360s Holiday Bundle in 2009, and what type of PS3 Holiday Bundle do you think that Sony needs to put together this year to stay competitive for the Holidays?

Hey guys! Got a question for you. Do you think the RPGs are too long for their own good?


I love Persona 3 FES & Persona 4, but I can't see myself completing either one of those for at least a year or more because both are 70+ hour epics. Sticking with one game for 70-something hours before moving on to something else is practically impossible because of all of the great new games that have been released this year and all of the deals on CAG. I've already forgotten where I am in P4's story, which is pretty much the entire point of playing an RPG to begin with.


Phantasy Star Universe may have had its issues, but the episodic way that it handled the game's offline story(complete with opening & closing credits between stages) was just plain smart. It allows you to pick up and put back down the game with relative ease compared to other games in the genre. Should all RPGs handle their epic-length stories in this manner?

I have been a listener since episode 75th, I´m from Ecuador ( South America ) I´ve been wondering since all conversation regarding Duck Tales, what are Wombat´s memories from Chip ´n Dale Rescue Rangers? And... besides me.. do you have any Southamerican listeners?

I'm wondering if you guys experience better in game voice chat on the Xbox 360 compared to the PS3? I only have a PS3 so I can't compare the two.

Hey guys, I know Halloween is over, but I am curious:

Have you ever dressed up for anything gaming related on Halloween?
What are the best and worst Halloween costumes you've ever worn?
Did you do anything fun this year (since you both have kids now)?

These questions are for Wombat, You mentioned a long time ago that you were thinking of doing a comic section for the CAGast, have you given up on that idea or is just on hiatus? Also, are you going to try and get your daughter into gaming?

Gentleman,
It is easy to get lost in the sea of stupid video game peripherals. However, there is no doubt that some have stood out.

So my question is...What are some of your favorite video game peripherals?

Some ideas :
Did you love the "Sega Dreamcast fishing rod", or possibly "NES zapper"? Or maybe you preferred to shake your ass on a cheap plastic dance mat?

Cheapy you look pretty hairless, Wombat maybe this is more of a question for you. I'm a really hairy guy, chest, back, shoulders mainly. I can't figure out what to do with my unsightly amount of body hair. Should I shave it? If so what products should I use? Should I go get waxed? If so, what sort of place should I look for..

Hey Cheapy and wombat, cheapy I had this idea of having some lucky CAG member on the Cagcast, that way everyone in the CAG community can have a chance to be featured in the Cagcast. Have you ever had an idea such as that and what do you think about doing a live show on justin.tv and you can broadcast yourself playing video games live for viewers towatch and chat. the reason i say this is becuase frankly things with cagcast are getting a bit boring and having a live show once a week would bring in more listeners and make things more interactive. thanks and keep up the good work.
