I washed my hands and felt a boob. I did something.

I finished the game and I'm telling you now, that is the highlight of the game.

Well, not entirely. You can wash your hand in a second place, but you have to keep going back to the boob to feel it.

The problem with that is, I can both wash my hands and feel a boob without having to pay $10 to do it.

Awesomenauts is great. I played it at PAX East and even better, got it free from PSN. It is the same game genre as DOTA, Monday Night Combat, League of Legends only it is 2D and 80's cartoon themed. Even the trophies/achievements are references to 80's cartoons. Froggy G is the pimp, I love his theme song.

Great show btw.

I use my 3DS the same way CheapyD uses his Fitbit. Whenever I go to a comic convention, I have StreetPass on and make sure to walk around everywhere multiple times to get many puzzle pieces. What sucks about the 3DS is that you have to check it frequently and let people in to the Mii Plaza to continue getting people.

I would like to hear more about what restaurants you guys go to, since I live in the LA area. I even went to the previous two CAG meetups.

I would not get a vita for Call of Duty or buy it if I had one. It wouldn't make a good portable experience. Also most CoD players play the 360 version I believe because of Microsoft's deal to get DLC first on 360 among other factors. Call of Duty on the vita would be like CoD on the Wii: nobody wants it unless they just own that system.


I really liked the walking dead game. Lee is interesting, and getting small insights to the comic universe I liked a lot. I'm a huge fan of both point and click games and walking dead so me liking it was pretty much a no brainer. I thought it had a lot of suspense and mystery to it and I look forward to the upcoming episodes.

The IGN app ads wouldn't bother me that much if the video content was longer than 2-4 minutes long. For that long have a little ad at the bottom or play it at the end.

Listening to Wombat struggle to describe Awesomenauts made me laugh. Anyone with even a passing familiarity with PC gaming would have just said "2D DoTA."

Any updates on what you guys are doing with the e3 after-party budget?

Awesome title and awesome show!

Heck of a rig.

Cheapy, if only there was a thread on CAG that could tell you what came out on PSN this week.

You guys forgot about Overstrike, which is the game that Insomniac announced last E3 at EA's press conference. They're not giving up on console games by any means since this is the new game from their social games team that they started last year.

Way to cop out on reading my question, Wombat.

All this talk about the fitbit has made me seriously look into getting one. I'm on Amazon right now staring at it. What's the difference between the regular one and the ultra? I suppose I should just get the ultra since it's the same price.

I've also gone ahead and added Goon to my queue for when it comes out at the end of the month. I'll gladly take the recommendation of someone that liked Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and may not have liked Drive.

Oh, and go Devils.

I would have gotten the new Samsung SSD over Intel

Am I missing something on that rig of Cheapy's?

Where is the graphics card? I was just curious as to what he was ordering.

I bought a gaming PC last year and haven't played a PC game in nearly a decade (and only barely then in the Unreal Tournament days). But since I built mine, it has become my favorite gaming platform.

As long as you can learn to be patient with the occasional issues that crop up, you get games that look and play like next gen games at a fraction of the cost of their console counterparts. Plus tons of very cool indie games that you won't see anywhere else.

Currently I'm loving Stalker: Shadows of Chernobyl and Skyrim (both with unbelievable graphics mods).

You gotta follow Cheapy on twitter or at least read his tweets on the front page.

He tried to buy a 690 on ebay but it fell thru, so now it sounds like he's just getting a single 680.

My little gamer and I also had success with Spider-Man: Friend or Foe, I strongly recommend any of the Lego games, particularly the Star Wars Complete Saga one. The drop-in/out co-op is great, part beat-em-up with light puzzles, tons of characters with different abilities (good for memorization/categorization, he's not interested in the movies but now knows more about the series' characters than I do). It was the first game he really was able to get into, at about 3 1/2 yo, I think the play hour count a few years later has pushed over 200!

(and Wombat.. Lickmynauts, I rewound several times and laughed out loud each time) Love the show guys..

Ah well the "tried and true" is usually way better than the "new hotness," especially for someone who doesn't want to deal with a lot troubleshooting.

But still the word "just a 680" made me laugh. That computer is like more powerful than 10 Xbox 360s. The 690 are just totally impractical luxury items. I doubt there is anything in the next five years that will really take advantage of that kind of card.

They seem so dismissive of it that I also kind of wonder what if anything could convince Wombat and Shipwreck that PC gaming is worth caring about.

Is it the cost or entry or the needed upkeep?

I never really played PC games my entire life until last year but since then I've really discovered what I've been missing. Not only do you get the graphical next generation today with high end releases, you also get a ton of cool indie and experimental games that would never be released on console.

Cost of entry, I admit, initially tough to swallow (but you don't have to go crazy like Cheapy apparently did). But by the time you add all the "hidden costs" of console games up--Xbox Live fees, more expensive games, etc--in the long term things balance out.

was the pastrami place Langer's perhaps?

Yeah, same genre as LoL and the like. The genre's name is MOBA, which is Multiplayer Online Battle Arena. I play LoL myself but I only heard of the genre's name recently, so it's not surprising the guys didn't know it.

I'm not a huge CoD player (spent a decent amount of time with Black Ops, but didn't bother getting MW3), but I would not be interested in a handheld CoD in the slightest. Although I haven't been able to try out a Vita, so maybe it wouldn't be horrible. But the thought of it is not appealing at all right now.

I'm not a CoD player, but I can't see why anyone would want to play it on a Vita. If you want to play CoD, it's going to be for the multiplayer, and for that you will need a wifi connection. Since the most like place for that will be at home, why wouldn't you just play it on a console or pc instead?
