Constructive criticism for Wombat:

Make with the bread.

All I hear is talk. Show me the whole grains.

As always, another great show.

I must have missed something. How much was it to unlock the Wombat DLC from this episode? Will there be a special edition down the road that includes it?

PS3 Mass Effect 3 Co-op

It would be great if all three of you would get together and play some Mass Effect 3 co-op and then tell us your experiences in the following pod cast. Many of us listeners would really like to hear more about this.

Great show! Keep up the good work. (Mass Effect 3 for PS3 please!)

I need Mass Effect 3, specifically just to cure my continued Skyrim addiction.

Journey sounds like Portal 1, in that it is a very unique and quality experience that lasts such a short time that you are just left craving more. Maybe Journey 2 (not related to the Dwayne-"The Rock"-Johnson-riding-a-giant-bee movie) will match Portal 2 in the satisfaction brought. Still, wish I had a PS3 to check this out, shortness aside.

Man! A show without wombat :(

It did flow pretty well and I liked hearing about Journey because I was thinking about picking it up but to hear that it's so short is turnnig me away. If I'm going to spend $15 I want to feel like I get that much out of it. Maybe it will go on sale or something.

Non the less, another good show!

I was a testing and balancing technician for an engineering firm. It's one of those jobs nobody's heard of but it's googleable. Like I said, I should be starting next week with a digital controls company. I haven't worked in a few weeks but I have it better than most folks since I live in a good area and I have some skills.

I heard that someone hacked the file and the Wombat content is already in there!

Another great show this week! It makes the time go by so much faster while at work. Thanks for the weekly show. Its makes my Friday and start of the weekend.

Wombat, you know you want to pick me so you can send Mass Effect 3 on a journey to my house. Epic ending to already great show. I laughed so hard at the sad people that are on Xbox Live.

A great show as always, though something was missing
A great furry beast: A large ass needing kissing
A contest to enter? I'll enter, I reckon
The prize I desire? Street Fighter X Tekken

To help pad my chances, I'll tell you this fact:
In CAGcast 124, Wombat mentions the Lorax
At 18:46 my friends, you'll find that's the time
And now you all know why this post is in words that sound alike

Keep up the great work guys!

Just take a screen cap of your ME 2 character and recreate it.

Is it just me or does Cheapy pronounce stamina a little weird? Give me fighting!

I was going to post a comment here, but then when I hear that in order to win Wombat would have to "tap" me, so I got scared. But here I am posting anyways, so I guess I'm doubly screwed...hopefully not literally.

Great show guys. I don't really listen to many podcasts, and I've really only been listening to this one for about four months, but I've gotta' say I like the way you guys got the show set up. The personalities are all there as well. Just like shipwreck had said before, it kinda' does play out like an icarly episode. No complaints here. One thing that I've noticed is at times you guys bring up certain games, but due to the lack of interest, they are simply put aside (i.e. Street Fighter X Tekken, Asura's Wrath). At times, those are games that I and probably others would have loved to hear about, be it negative or positive comments, or just general info. Maybe you guys can just touch on those games a bit before moving on? Thanks for the great show and keep up the good work.

Great show even without Wombat. Though, the show is better with him.

On the subject of Journey being worthy of $15 for a short game, there are plenty of games out there that people have spent more on and enjoyed less. For me, it's not about how much time you get to play a game, but how much satisfaction you get out of it. Is there a sense of accomplishment? Was it fun for the time spent? If so, then the money is well worth it. But, alas, I'll never know about Journey as I no longer have a PS3.

On the subject of the Vita, I just don't like it. Maybe it's because the demo units are tethered, but I don't find it comfortable to hold because of the back touch pad and the divots. I also don't think it was truly optimized for play-on-the-go. I stood in a Target waiting about 5 minutes for one track of Wipeout to load. The screen looks nice, and the thumbsticks are better than the circle pads. But, I would only ever own a Vita if I didn't have to pay for it. And, then, I 'd probably sell it to get an iPad 3.

Keep up the great work on the CAGcast. Look forward to the longer audioboos from E3.

Cagcast

was a little strange not hearing Wambat on the Cagcast...oh well, guess he needed a break too....
As for the giveaways, you should do the random winner thing...works out the best way

Here is some constructive critism I wanted to post last week. If you guys find that you have been talking about a game for more than a couple minutes, it would be very helpful if you tried to mention the title of the game once again. Lots of times it is obvious what you are talking about but sometimes I miss someone saying what game they played recently and I am lost for 5 minutes untill you move on. It is a minor thing but it is the only thing I would feel comfortable criticizing, the show is great. Long live CAGCast.

Also ME3 kicks ass.

Great Show. I dont really have any good comments for the show but I'd love to win fighting by Capcon.

As always the Cagcast delivered this week, although I feel there's a little "edge" that Wombat provides that was obviously lacking. Can't wait to have him back next week and I certainly wouldn't mind SFxT! Keep up the awesome work!

Also, Shipwreck saying bread's done was pretty classic

Good show guys, thou it was missing that extra little spice that is Wombat.
The is $15 worth it question is a hard one to answer, On the Joystiq Show they said something that really stuck with me, We pay $15 for a movie so why not a short game. If it gives us at least a couple hours of entertainment its at least worth the price of a movie.

Wouldn't mind getting that copy of Street Fighter X Tekken (Or as Cheapy's Mom calls it "Fighting by Capcon"), just rented it from Redbox and I enjoyed it a lot even thou I really suck at Capcom fighters.

Agreed. It's not just you guys, even other podcasts I listen to tend to do the same - the game is mentioned at the start, then referred to as 'it' for the rest of the discussion. Sometimes I'm able to clue on on what game 'it' is, other times I have to rewind the podcast a few minutes. If I'm driving, I sometimes still miss the name on the second attempt.

I'm glad that Cheapy mentioned the ME3 problem. I've got a custom character that I've used through both games, so I want that to work. Glad I held off from a launch purchase.
