I understand what you are getting at in your segment this week Wombat, but I think Dead Rising was a poor choice as an example. This is a great game that would have gotten a lot of hype on any system as Capcom + Zombies = Gold. Maybe you should have mentioned something along the lines of Prey as an example instead.

Overall, it was a pretty good CAGcast, but it felt a little disjointed at parts and didn't have the flow that the last one had.

A fantastic return to class.

Wombat, you're dead on. People are going on and on about Red Steel on the Wii, but if a few FPSs were released on the Wii and then Red Steel came along people would be like "Sword fighting? Big deal, this looks terrible".

By the way, I'm pretty sure that Luke Smith followed up on his disagreements with the Chromehounds microtransactions and tried to get some reaction statements. He's always very good at trying to do a little muckraking, as evidenced by his questions of cliffyb in the 1upyours podcast two weeks ago for the Gears of War non announcement.

I guess the best way to describe the save system in Way of the Samurai and Dead rising is "mimics real life", so if you screw up better luck the next playthrough.

I guess a "small" way to fix the slot thing would be to create accounts (I used this method to show people the game from the beginning...not the greatest solution but hey)

as for sidequests, despite what you've been told, save survivors, save them. it makes leveling up so much quicker and leveling up has it's perks.

Dead Rising has at Least 5 save points (Wonderland Plaza, Coby's Movieland, Paradise Plaza, North Plaza, and Security Room), I'm sure there might be more benches in the mall that I haven't found.

and for your conviencence here's a phamplet eb/gamestop gave out which gives a map of the mall

I'd kill for assigned seating in movie theaters.

I LOL'd at CheapyD's remarks about what he can fit in his pants.

Ok, What is the intro music from?, It's killing me. I totally remeber the music but not what it's from.

Great show, very funny.

I guess I'm in the minority of people who don't have an issue with the save system for Dead Rising, I think it's perfectly suitable for a game of this type.

...................

And can't you just use your Xbox 360 as a component DVD player, CheapyD? Toss that cheap $30.00 DVD player.

Good Cagcast. I really enjoy the two man show but I also like a guest every now and then. Answer? Taped interviews. I think a guest for the news segment or something would work well.

Cheapy mentioned 1up's Luke Smith during the show and from what I've heard of the guy recently, he might be who Wombat was talking about in last weeks Angry Wombat segment. In a 1up yours podcast he talked about how he hates PR companies going around making sure nobody says anything bad about a game, and if they do, they limit exclusive coverage. So if anyone wants a first review or cover story that mag/site has to kiss butt. Unfortunately, if someone gets a reputation for asking the hard questions and digging up dirt, PR companies just wont deal him.

I wonder what CheapyD's balls will look like. Will they be small, hairy or look just like his head!? As for CheapyD having contests, he sure has been taking a long time since his move to Japan. What was the last one... the Guitar Hero one? Lastly, a agree 100% on Miyazaki films, and Studio Ghibli. The only movie I hated was Pom Poko which was a really really long version of Dr. Seuss' The Lorax with racoons that have stretchy balls.

P.S. My Neighbor Totoro is the best!

You are right...My neighbor Totoro is really great. The song really gets stuck in your head too.
I watched Pom Poko too and thought it was 45 minutes too long.

Yeah, I need to get me shit together re: contests.

yea whats with the black guy at the ending? Is that some sort of audition at wombats former job....
yea that was a good cagcast

Great CAGCast. I laughed a few times and I think they just get better. Also thanks for the shirt. Can't wait to see it.

Really great episode. Much more fluid. I busted out laughing when Wombat was talking about how your parents died. Funny stuff.

All the endings of the auditions have been great. How much of that do you guys have?

That's what I was thinking. Good CAGcast too.

Another nice pod cast, thanks for getting me through work.

Woohoo! I'm a star!

Good stuff as usual guys. Look forward to it every week.

I remembered the music after a 2nd listen thru of the show. Thanks for telling me about the listing though. I guess I never noticed.

Pom Poko is great, and they're Tanukis.

I like Spirited Away the best, though all of them are great.

Good show. I like that you guys have been mentioning feedback/reactions to the CAGcast for the past couple of shows, as it shows that you guys at least aknowledge that we post our thoughts on the show each week.

As for the topic regarding making a big deal out of releases for new consoles, it's expected at the beginning of its lifecycle since early adopters are interested in knowing what's new to their growing library, but it does get tiring to hear a big deal out of even some of the smaller titles just because it's an Xbox 360 title. It'll be the same for the PS3 and Wii until the library is filling up nicely with a steady flow of titles. It happened with the DS and the PSP where people made a huge deal out of each game that came out just because it was a new game for their new handhelds during the slow transition periods between the launch lineup and the second wave of titles.
