To be clear, the Dyad codes were given to us in hopes that we would discuss it on the show. Also, I've shot some footage of it that may or may not make it all the way onto the site.

Spider-Man Unlimited is terrible. It is only watchable in the sense that you can see it on a TV. The show only lasted a couple episodes before being cancelled.

Also Windows 8 is terrible, imagine that terrible Xbox Dashboard title crap as your start menu.

Speaking of ninja turtles, thoughts on the new Nickelodeon TMNT show coming?

Thank you Gaming Moses and friends.

Wombat sounds like he had a completely different Best Buy experience than anyone I know. Usually you get swarmed by a group of blue shirts bugging the hell out of you every time you walk into the store.

Not at any Best Buy I've been to. Which is fine by me because I'd rather have to go ask for help when I need it, than constantly be bugged the majority of the time when I'm just browsing.

That is how I would prefer it too. If I have something in mind then I'm fully capable of finding an employee to ask.

You gotta admit, it's pretty awkward hearing Cheapy say on the air that the Foosball guys are doing a terrible job and then saying that they follow him on Twitter.

Cheapy's argument about the 3DS not being an iPhone is still annoying. As I've said before in these forums, I've had my iPhone for a couple of years now, but I still don't like playing games on it.

There's a lot of legitimate fears about Windows 8 and one of them is that Microsoft is going to turn it into a marketplace-esque platform where you have to pay Microsoft to allow your program (app) to work on the OS.

A lot of people think Microsoft is trying to lock Windows down like Apple does with their iOS devices, and they are starting with Windows 8.

Yeah, OK, it's one of those. I don't like renting movies (digitally) for home viewing - never have and don't ever see myself doing it in the future.

I usually get swarmed when in the game section where I don't need any help whatsoever, but on the rare times I need help somewhere else it is more like what Wombat related.

I went to the RZ event last year but they must not have had one near me this year (or at least I wasn't invited despite being RZ Silver). I stuck around for lots of drawings last year and didn't get squat - did buy a bunch of games I didn't need so I could get 3x RZ points, though. So I can relate to that part of Shipwreck's experience .

And whoo-hoo, Pax passes arrived in the mail today!

I'm shocked you people get swarmed by Best Buy employees. Normally it's someone from Clear or DirectTV or whatever trying to sell me their cable or internet...

Started laughing my ass off in the middle of my office when I heard CheapyD's batman voice.

bravo Wombat, I dont know why but I laughed until I was crying when Cheapy kept asking if you watched his video and you just said We don't watch your in videos. I havent laughed that much in a long time

Wombat is a ing boss in this CAGCast. Love it.

Completely agree. As soon as Cheapy started to say, "You know what's an exceptional product..." I knew what was coming. I'd love to hear a list of iPhone games that Cheapy considers in the same league as any handheld games.

I would also love to see comparison pictures of all the burgers you discussed. They could be part of a new segment called "Eat This, Bitches!"

"The iPhone is a ing phone that plays shitty games".

As someone who will be buying an iPhone in the near future, I still have to give this one to Wombat. The two devices just can't be compared, as one is a game console at core and the other is a phone at core. I also agree that you shouldn't compare the cameras - on the 3DS it is more of a novelty, while the iPhone is marketed as "the only device I need". I won't even mention the prices.

Great show, I love all of you deeply.

Really cheapyd blabbing about iphone blah blah blah..

I think I read an article on Kotaku or someplace else about people wanking off to anime arcade machines.I remember someone without pants as one of the pictures.

Holy crap Sentai (Japanese Power Rangers) talk on the CAGcast?!
There is actually a growing fanbase of American Sentai fans. These, "grown ass nerds" like me shell out crazy money to import the toys from these shows, and take it with a grain of salt, knowing that we fell for a 30min toy commercial, but there is something about those shows that resonate with us.

I didn't say an iPhone is a exceptional game machine, I said it was an exceptional device, and I feel similarly about any modern smartphone. It's amazing that we can carry a portable computer in our pockets. Those of you who thought I was comparing an iPhone (or any smartphone's) game playing ability to a dedicated gaming machine missed the point completely. There is continued discussion on my guest appearance on this week's 8-4 Play.

I never asked for Dyad codes, they just appeared in my inbox. I'm not bitter or upset in any way and I'm happy to pay my $6, I think it was pretty odd their most vocal supporter couldn't even get his hands on the game early. Guess what? Still no codes. It has nothing to do with a sense of entitlement, just thought it was strange.
