Talking

Wombat please post footage of you playing that fishing mini-game on zelda.
Have you had time to get more used to the wii-mote or you still feel the same way? I think the controls for Zelda are great, except I wish I didnt have to wiggle for sword play, but thats it.

Thanks for your guys' impressions. I think that the fact that you are puzzled that the BK games don't have much advertising as you expected makes you actually think about the advertising on your own, thus fulfilling their ad expectations. Either that, or you will have scary dreams about the king in the end.

And haha, I just thought about a Cheapy RUnning around in Rainbow Six. That would be very interesting, haha.

And yeah, the quality on Cheapy's end is getting a little funky, but at least you sound like Robocop.

Just caught up on the last 3 cagcasts. Almost finished with this cagcast and I don't know if its just me but wombat sounds like he hates everything in this cagcast. Everything cheapy mentions wombat just jumps on it and says that he hates it because it takes too long or its useless. Still a great cagcast.

Saved for some comments after the 80min show awesome 80 min of Cheapy and Wombat!!.

The Fishing was so hard for me also untill I figured out all you need to do is as soon as you see your float sinking it means a fish is nibbling on your bait then you yank the wii remote up and walla a fish you have caught.

whoa wombat met Zach Selwyn who used to host extreme dodge ball!

Re: Ps3 game advice and PS3 in general
irony is I kinda got interested in saints row thanks to the cagcast...and now I own a unicorn! although I'm more interested with my wii than my ps3.

the ps3 interface is pretty much the psp's so the auto hover over any game you have loaded"s annoying and I don't ever think they fixed it for the psp (at least the 360 now has the option to not auto load games).

resistance is pretty fun, haven't tried multiplayer, sucks they don't do worldwide multi.

also it sucks remote play has been so crappy.

wish I traded it for tacos...shame they don't accept slightly used systems

Interesting... CheapyD is Max Headrum again. Nice show but I'm a bit disappointed with Wombat's details on the Wii being a Wii owner myself, I know: he just didn't seem to go into the system itself too deeply.

I gotta disagree with Wombat on the fishing.

It was just the first time where I had problems with the fishing, then I realized you have to hold the pole up to pull them out instead of repeatedly pulling it down and then back up.

I got the required fishing thing done in a couple of minutes.

WiiSports is awesome. Great game. I think folks that call it simple haven't played it much. EAch game actually has a good amount of depth. LIke in Tennis you might think you just swing your racket to return balls and that's it. But then you realize hey I can lob it. Oh hey I can put wicked spin on the ball. Oh I can direct the ball. Oh I can do rocket serves. Oh hey I can swing for the guy at the net too. The game is very gamey with a good amount of depth. All the WiiSports games are like this. Plus they have a whole training mode to go thru and earn medals and improve your skills. Probably my favorite Wii game. And with others it's just too much fun.



In traditional games I would guess most folks are a bit irritated at first because they suck at the new controls compared to a regular gamepad. I remember when I started using the mouse after using keyboard only in pc fps games. I sucked and went back and forth between the two types of controls for weeks until I finally got used to the mouse and never looked back. So I wouldn't trust alot of initial opinions on the controls for fps games until folks get more experience under their belt with the controls.
