great show i listened to your spoilers version of me2 and that made me want to give the original ME another chance so then i could play ME 2 right after

Having Shippy on the show was my idea. I am glad he is there, except for when he drops the ball and doesn’t correct me when I make mistakes about release dates.

I think Wombat is padding his posts to try and win that SC2 key.

Good show Still think you need the cags on news theam song

Another excellent cagcast, the ME2 discussion was great. _b

Always sweet to find a cagcast waiting in your rss reader in the morning.

Wombat is a loveable dbag!

You guys touched on the non-disaster that was the PSN thing. It wasn't so much that you didn't get to play for a day, I mean I don't need to play every day. It was just that if you hadn't synced and backup your trophies just before then, you would have lost them. I know trophies are just a showoff thing, but it was a big deal for alot of people, especially if you hit a milestone late in a game which you couldn't go back and re-do. In longer games that could mean having to restart a save file and replay 10-50 hrs of gamepplay to get the trophy again (Star ocean and other rpgs can take that much to get some trophies).
Then again, it goes back to the whole, trophies are just show-things that don't mean much. But its nice that if you achieved something in the game to at least have it, or if your working toward platinum.

^^ Holy crap....how much did you weight back then, Cheapy?!? 180lbs?

I just want to say that as someone who pays for the products they use, I really agree with Wombats stance on pirating games.
Also, when you guys go off an a completely unrelated topic because you don't really know much about the things on your outline (like the part about the baseball games) you bring up some of the best conversational pieces. Keep it up!
As always great show!!

Finally some Mass Effect 2 talk! Just wondering, who had Wrex alive or not? I dont know what happeneds to him if he is alive

Straight after listening to this CAGcast I tuned into the Joystiq podcast. Listening in on their spoiler cast, I think I'm in the same boat that Cheapy is in now.
Certainly agree with Shipwreck about knowing the killer will significantly reduce the experience of Heavy Rain.

The biggest downfall of story driven games like that is that douchebags on the internet will go out of their way to spoil it.

I remember someone writing to me the killer the first day the game came out but i thought it was a lie. Then when i actually found out on JTV, it kind of took away all of the surprise.

Great episode, I enjoyed your Mass Effect round table even though I have never played it, I might actually go play the first one now since its cheap.

Oh and thank god for banning that guy who tried to spoil Heavy Rain, I'm trying to avoid spoilers for that game as much as possible...

your guys' Mass Effect 2 discussion was waaaay too tame I felt. shoulda went all out and discussed the story some more rather than the significance of the genre or gameplay, you guys could have done that during the show. overall ok show.

THOUGH i do have one more complaint, the story about the PS3 not working and the whole activision thing. I would like you guys to give a brief summary of what happened in a news story. When i was listening i had no idea what the hell was going on only through inferences in your discussion. You have to remember some of us dont get a chance to read the blogs and what not and might not have a clear or even any understanding of the subject. It would be nice to just give a quick brief of the article before discussing it. that's all. thanksies.

Good show guys.

Releasing GoW 2 on the PS2 was a smart move as it kept the ps2 moving for quite some time. GoW3 should have been released on the day the ps3 released as it would have improved sales as well as keep the franchise going. As wombat said, waiting this long killed the franchise to a certain degree. Even somone with limited knowledge of sales would know.

As for kings quest... How can you blame Activision for what they did? If you are that upset over it, you might as well quit playing games now. If you owned The ip and someone was making a sequel what would you do? If you would do nothing, then your a moron. You would be out of business in a heartbeat and so would every other publisher out there.

You can bitch if a new game comes out and it sucks, but not when some whiny fans start wetting their diapers because they don't get what they want.

Good show, I agree with Wombat the GoW franchise has been handled pretty badly in my opinion. Looking forward to next weeks episode.

First time I've ever heard one of your podcasts. Great stuff. Definately gonna listen to some older ones.

In ref to the PS3 downtime, as soon as CheapyD said let's play a game, I really thought he was going to play the CAG edition of "Are you smarter than a Playstation?" and ask each co-host what years were leap years.

Wombat, excellent Black Manta impression! Cheapy does a fine Jerry Seinfeld. ShipWreck MUST be holding out on us... come on ShipWreck, give us some kind of impersonation!!

Wombat is correct though. If GOW 3 would have come out right away on PS3 showcasing their great graphics, they might not be in the mess they are now.

I never really thought about Sony not building up God of War the way they could have. They could have gotten more sales, but I agree with others that only being on the 4th game could be better than us being on #8.

The show works great with the three of you guys together, but Wombat... Do us a favor and calm down on some of the dbagnessnessness. You were a bit annoying at the start of the show. Other than that, great show as usual.

you guys make my workday so much easier
