Saw this guy at a club...he's off the chain!

Cagcast baby!!!

Good show. I think this is the first time Wombat has been shy about a topic. If you ask me I think he demands sex too often, the wife complains to the doc and well you get the idea.

I hope I can listen to this at work today .

Damn, I'm used to being the first in here... just finished listening. I was about to wrap up my work and go start Rogue Galaxy when #67 popped up there (about 2:30 AM Pacific). So I decided instead to continue working and listen to it in the background. So while you hindered my game playing, you actually greatly aided my real job. I was finally able to figure out a problem I was having with some code while I listened. So kudos to you guys. Little did you know you'd be helping out with Sinusoidal map projections and Martian spheroids!

Despite the usual Wii putdowns (especially from Wombat), it was a good show .

Just ONE minor complaint. What is it with you guys and MARRY-OH!? I mean Nintendo's mascot. Last time I checked he ain't MARRY-OH. It is MARIO, as in Mahr-eo. Perhaps someone else can spell out the phonetics better than me, but, man, when I hear you guys say MARRY-OH it is just jarring for some reason . Perhaps it is my Italian heritage. I dunno...

Anyways, carry on...

Edit - wow, Cheapy, I know that you look out of place in Japan and all, and said you felt really out of place at that Duke thing. But, if you look at that picture you posted above, and just look at you and Duke from the eyes downward, you look like identical twins. Same nose, same eyes, same mouth/smile, same chin. Very creepy .

My god...I just realized we forgot to do the new releases!
Do'h!

Oh well, here they are: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/...d.php?t=131036

That's alright, next week they'll take up the whole show. You did miss out on a fine opportunity to strike up a Condorman conversation though.

Expect lots of "Why didn't you talk about God of War II" in the meantime.

Wow, its amazing what you miss when you change the record time. We started recording about an 1.5 hours later than normal, we will make up for it next week.

great show guys and i wonder what wombat has to hide. WOMBAT THE truth will be revealed

This could possibly be one of the best quotes of the year so far “Show me someone who is not for killing Nazis, I will show you a Nazi.” Of all the Podcasts I listen to this could be the best quote so far this year.

Chris Hecker's rant I think is the developer himself voicing some concerns about the platform. I am guessing this is the guy that basically stood up and said what everyone in the developer community is thinking but he is the only one with the balls to say it, either that or he had been tipping back a few and then said it. His apology sounds like it was written by the PR department at EA. EA announced a few weeks ago about their increased support of the Wii, and then this Chris guy who sort of works for them comes out and just bashes the Wii, you can bet by the time he got off the podium five guys in black suits an dark sun glasses probably rushed him off to a room where the president of EA gave him a good tongue lashing.

Wombat, I had to laugh when you said you may not buy that Oblivion expansion pack right away. Who are you trying to kid? Anyone (myself included) who is as much of an Oblivion fan as you are (or at least portray yourself) will be downloading that thing the day it comes out.

To the bone head that said both Wombat and CheapyD have set their expectations to high I ask, what are you thinking when some say something like that? Really, explain. Both Wombat and CheapyD bring up excellent points about these supposed next gen games that are lacking features that should be expected. If Virtua Fighter had been online I would have bought it, as it when it hits the $20 bargain bin I will probably pick it up. I may not completely agree with Cheapy about Motorstorm, but I think that is more of a difference of thinking then anything else. We as consumers should never feel like we have to high of expectations. We have every right to want it all, and it is developer’s jobs to get it to us, so we can want even more. Unfortunately it is then accounting and management job to charge us more for all the things we want.

Wombat, as someone who went through a tough marriage which ended up in divorce let me give you a little tip. If you lay on your left arm, there by diminishing the blood circulation to that arm you will in effect numb it. People in America common refer to this as your arm going to sleep. So if you do that before you “box the clown” (masturbate) it kind of feels like it is someone else giving you a hand job!

Great show! Looking forward to next week.

I was thinking the same.

Don't worry Wombat. I feel your pain. In fact, we should start a support group.

I think this was in a previous CAGcast, but the jist is to not trust that a Japanese company will get the pronunciation of Italian names correct.

Thank you for mentioning Electric Dreams! I remember watching this movie when I was like 4 years old and being saddened by the computer "dying" at the end after he requests to have champagne spilled on him again. That's the only thing I remembered about it though so it was tough trying to figure out what it was about, let alone what the the title was. Now if they would only release it on DVD, I would add it to my 80's movie collection next to Short Circuit and Batteries Not Included.

Great show by the way

CheapyD referred to Mrs. Wombat's "down there" as the "Wombat Zone". That statement did have some element of comedy in it, but if he were to be just a bit quicker and wittier, he could have called it the true "Wombat's Burrough". Such a joke would have hilarious sexual imagery to bring a smile to every listener. That is my analysis.

that me laugh so hard i almost fell of my chair

Cheapy, leave Wombat's swollen prostate alone.

It's been said before, but I'll say it again... what puts this well beyond the typical "XYZ game is being released, <insert witty saying here>, aren't I clever" game podcast is the personal hosts' personal lives and the extent to which they are revealed.

Great show; I might be (mildly) upset at Wombat for showing some boundaries, if it weren't for the fact that he started the show off with his wife getting waxed... I nearly burst out laughing that you went into so much detail in the show... you guys are lucky you have such tolerant, even encouraging, wives, especially Wombat.

Nice job on the podcast this week.
I'm surprised that you guys didn't talk about Ouendan, because that's pretty exciting for DS importers, like myself.

Whatever.

The only thing sadder than a man afraid to talk about sex is a man afraid of his wife. Wombat needs to take a long hard look at himself here.

Well, it seems like it is pronounced fine in the Nintendo games themselves. It is only Cheapy and Wombat that I hear pronounce it wrong . Must be a New York thing... But yes, if this was discussed previously I missed it - I've only been listening since the last 5 or so.
