Nice CAGcast, almost done. You guys should try to take back porch monkey.

Sweet , I can't wait to listen to it .

People of hispanic origin actually have been in a few RPGs.

Anybody remember Rico from Xenogears?


See? The only Latin dudes in fantasy worlds are wrestlers. Also, green. See why we play RPGs?!

awesome, nice intro to the cagcast.

"what the hell, wombat just pissed on my shoes"... what was that about?

Also, if it's Mary-oh and not Mah-rhee-oh, then shouldn't it be Wham-bat, not Whom-bat?

My first thought upon hearing of the balloon passing Cheapy's window was Spiderman 2. Ugh.

Wombat, did you have to send in your Hard Drive with the 360, or were you allowed to keep it?

I kept it and kept my face plate too

Check this out:

We are "featured" in the new Games & Hobbies Category, but our ranking is pretty low: 67/100.
Ya 'all make sure you subscribe to that shit, I think the rankings are based on new subscriptions.

It's your fault that we aren't rich yet and Wombat can't afford a PS3.

This episode seemed more like "real" journalism. Not sure if that is good or bad. Definitely a different feel to it though.

Edit: Wombat has informed me that I am wrong regardless of what my opinion is.

What the was that at the end?

Also Wombat or anyone else if you ever get any free shit and don't want it just look my way. Another note I reviewed you guys on iTunes back in the early days of this thing (I have listened to all of them). If I could do mulitple reviews I would.

I'm afraid that free games will eventually ruin you guys.

well, I don't have any yet, so there is still hope

I have been a PR Rep/News Editor for a couple of websites over the last 4 years so I'll share some of what I know about getting games to review.

CAG gets enough hits that I'm sure pubilshers would love to send you stuff, but you probably need to do more in depth coverage. Just mentioning it on the CAGcast isn't really enough. If you wrote a decent review to go along with the coverage in the CAGcast, I think you would have better luck.

I also think that part of the problem stems from the fact that, as was mentioned this week, Wombat is seen as a second-rate Robin to go along with Cheapy's first-rate Batman. Why should a company send something to the sidekick instead of the big boss monkey man? If Cheapy put in requests on Wombat's behalf, I guarantee you would get a lot more positive response. It would probably help if Wombat had a title of some sort when he sends requests - Reviews Editor or something like that - so he'll be taken more seriously.

Another issue is that you probably aren't going to get multiple copies of the games. You'll have to decide whether it is more important that Cheapy or Wombat gets the free stuff and then pursue getting one copy rather than trying to schmooze your way into one for each of you.

I reviewed you guys right now. Hope you're almost to 100.

haven't had time to listen to the CAG cast in months...but the title of this one is intriguing.

reviewed ya guys a while ago...my conscience is clear about your lack of riches or a naked supermodel entourage

What the hell was that at the end? Wombat pissing on shoes and baby CheapyD?!?!

Oh, and Wombat's rampant new york'n narrowmindedness made me want to kill someone. I know you were being a smart ass but damn. Those NY Italians did one hell of a mind job on those of you who pronounce Mah ree oh incorrectly.
