And btw you could romance Kelly Chambers in ME2

You guys need to spend some time on Youtube:

Kelly does a dance for you in your cabin.

Traynor only goes for the ladies so sorry Cheapy.

Great show as always guys.

I have a quick question for Wombat though. When playing video games, when given the option do you use southpaw controls that switches the functions of the analog sticks (i.e. a shooter where the left is for movement and the right is for aiming and southpaw switches these) or are you like me and have adapted to playing the default way?

Cheapy would totally dig The Witcher 2. Check it out!

Thank you guys for doing the show so regularly!

Fighting went to Meager from Podcast #275 about 10 minutes in.
Mass Effect, and Naruto are still up for grabs I believe.

I want to preface this comment by admitting that I have been overly critical of the podcast since Wombat asked for constructive criticisms.

I think the problem I have had with the CAGCast lately is the lack of discussion of games in depth. I feel it’s partially due to the fact that everyone seems so terrified of spoilers. It really gets me when I feel like you guys have something to say about a game and don’t do it because you “don’t want to give anything away.” For one it really disrupts the flow of conversation, and it also cockteases the audience.

I’m not expecting a full on spoiler discussion of every game, but I feel that you guys can discuss things you like or don’t like about the game without ruining stuff for the audience. Giant Bomb has been talking about Mass Effect for a few weeks now, without giving away spoilers, and I am at the point where I feel their discussion is complete; I understand what they really think of the game and the Mass Effect series as a whole. It feels like you guys have barely given impressions. The same can go for any other game discussed on the podcast. I really care about what you guys have to say about games. Right now I feel like we are getting a lot of who, what, where, and not enough why and how.

You can't really romance Kelly. Just invite her to your cabin with no cut scene or anything. Kinda lame and your current romance at the moment doesn't care. More interesting is that you can go through all the romance options in ME 2, but you can't go back to your previous romances and ME 3 only recognizes the last romance.

Wombat's Opinion on this: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...the-psp-system

Awesome show guys. I like to hear more about Suda... lol

Yeah, come on. I want to be the "Winner" of Naruto. It looks really good.

Great show as usually, I'm with Wombat, no more techno Cheapy. It's not the music I want to hear at 4am on my way to work & half asleep.

And as for the Suda 51 stuff, Cheapy just because someones a dick to his employees doesn't mean people aren't going to stop buying his games(raises hand) & it happens all the time in other fields of work. I work in the food industry & bosses/chefs are nothing but dicks(not all but a good chunk) & most of work is done by cooks/prep, but the Chefs/Bosses are the ones who laid the ground work, recipes, & run the place. I might just be me, but I see no problem because Suda has put in his hard work just form Grasshopper in the first place, & he doesn't have time to do EVERYTHING in his games because he's making sure that everyone still has a god damn job.

We discussed how there other stories to tell, that may have taken place either before or concurrent to the completed trilogy.

Not to mention that Bioware has all but said that the ME series isn't done after ME3. Definitely will be more.

ok, Plumber Crack is borderline creepy..thank god it was a free DL

my 2 cents on the whole used game b/c I've been thinking about it all day. I think the future is already at hand. Used games single handedly destroyed physical based games as we know it. For IGN staff to think that GameStop wouldn't sell their system matters is crazy, GS is the main reason we are seeing this shift. The bottom line IS that the console makers and the developers want their fair share of the money, and I can't blame them. I am a big collector, I've bought a ton of used games, I've bought a ton of sealed ones since coming to this site, I don't have a problem with either, it just comes down to how much money, you, the 'customer' wants to spend. However, I never trade games in, nor do I rent them. I love owning each and every game and watching them fill up my shelves just as much as anyone else.

This next round of consoles will be the last physical based models before going to all digital. At least the models next-gen isn't forcing all digital just yet. This hockey puck 360? it'll just do everything BUT play games, unless there is a generous amount of on board storage and support for XBLA. I mean it just makes sense it'll be another media server if 'thats what more people are spending more time doing.' Oh, and if people aren't online, then they get to sit out, its as simple as that. Its 2012, not 1997 where you had to make sure your phone cord was long enough to reach the back of the computer from the wall. But I'm down for whatever happens, I just hope with all digital comes a lot of HDD space, like in excess of 1TB standard.

She doesn't give the Paramour ach. and the cut scene isn't as involved as the other romances, but she does lie down in bed with you.

A quick shoutout to all the old school Tri-Staters in the house...

Thanks Cheapy for "Mount Airy Lodge" two weeks ago and "Millford Plaza" this episode. Brings back memories...next week I expect some "Petland Discounts" flava.

I'm sure the other NY CAGs have their favorites! Good episode.

That's funny. I never saw the Kelly in your cabin scenes in Mass Effect 2. I invited her to dinner. Fade to black. It cut away to the next morning and the conversation implied we had a one night stand. So not a romance, more of a fling. Didn't interefere with romancing Liara later.

The everyone hates Suda 51 stuff is great. You should keep mining for more info, Cheapy.

While I agree with Shipwreck that the next generation of consoles couldn't possibly eliminate the use of used games entirely, I think there are too many rumors for this not to be partly true. I have a feeling the next generation of games will come with a unique code (ala $10 pass) that can only be used once. Anyone that buys the game used will have to somehow pay for this pass in order to play the game.
