"Has Cheapy ever seen Scarface on weed? ANSWERED!"

my god, i can't wait to find out

Awesome, Thanks CheapyD!

Hell yeah, CAGcast!

My aunts from planet Hulk.

I'm so glad you told that story about my Mother... To be honest, I don't talk to her too much since she lives in New Jersey and she's always curious as to what I do. but yeah, your mom on CAG, creepy. Better to have a Mom who cares than not one at all I suppose.

Wombat, You really should send your 360 to MS because

A: Theres a chance that a malfunctioning Disc tray may scratch your discs.

and

B: MS says that people should not focus on the 360 failure rate and focus on their Customer support and Repair center. If more people dont hold them to that then MS gets away with selling a defective product.

Cheapy, I think you need to do a tad bit more hunting when it comes to Nintendo news, at least in the rumor department. It was a couple of weeks ago that rumors started flying about Nintendo's E3 plans, which included the announcement of Mario Kart for the Wii and a Hard Drive. It would've been a great follow-up to the maxing out the Wii story.

Other than that, a great show as always, keep up the good work.

CheapyD, If the PS3 riot story from Desrtuctoid was this one

Those Riots actually occured during the launch of the PS3 in November. Destructoid was just making a joke about how no one cares about the PS3 anymore and Best Buy has to now slash game prices to try and earn sales.

My bad on the riot story...
Or maybe Destructoid's bad...

Funny episode, a lot more relaxed than the live shows. Good thing I was listening alone... if you know what I mean. I'm gonna be in trouble if someone else listens to the show. I did not expect you to read that question since I wrote it to be answered 2 weeks ago. ing Cheapy!

Shazbot! A next gen tribes has been on my wishlist for a while.

Tribes 1/2 were a great games, but the mod community is what really made it last so long. I miss lancing people from behind with the little shock gun. Vengeance on the other hand..not so much.

Good show this week guys.

Can't wait to give this show a listen , but have to wait untill after work. Awesome Thanks Cheapy & Wombat!

Who ever thinks live shows aren't fun and exciting are crazy if you ask me. They're so fun to hear and gives a chance to be apart of the cag show as wells as gives a ton of chances of awesome spontaneous things to happen.

Wombat take it from me don't send in your 360 untill it's 100% dead , Xbox has the worst customer support ever I know you've had your system repaired before , but still it's just not worth it unless you go on a vacation it's the best time to send out your system. Being it takes a month at least for everything.

7 days for you to get box , 7 days untill they get your system then 7 days for them to return it. Of course this happens because they use the slowest shipping and always ends up somehow over the weekend and box never ends up in transit so always ends up wasting days. I don't care what they say weekend should be a buissness day they need to start shipping usps then.

Alright, this will make the work day go by faster.

There is a massive NeoGAF thread about Mario Strikers by the actual UK owners and they rave about the online mode. Don't forget that even though Strikers uses friend codes to play against "friends," you can play against anyone else without friend codes. You only have to exchange friend codes to play with people you know, otherwise you just go online and play.

The VC games storage issue could be addressed by the rumored hard drive accessory that is coming. You also don't have to move VC games to SD cards to free up space, you could just delete them completely and re-download them later. That might not be too inconvenient for the larger games, but it wouldn't be too much of a hassle for NES, TG-16, and Genesis games.

While I agree that Overlord's demo was good, it was short (it felt like it was shorter than 30 minutes, especially given the size). I would actually say the demo was like Zelda and Pikmin, given the tutorial nature of it.

Although it makes me want to buy it, given that it has a worse than Shadowrun pricing plan ($60 on 360 while $40 on PC) makes me say no to a purchase early.

Good cagcast! Wombat, you're on this week... I lol'd a few times to your jokes.

Cheapy, regarding your Code Veronica experience... I hit a similar wall on the Dreamcast version. Apparently I used too much ammo early in the game, so when I got to the fight on the airplane at the very end of disc 1, I didn't have enough left to kill the big bad dude. Didn't have a save with enough more ammo, so... no more game. No way I was going to start over. Even the Gameshark, which I bought JUST to be able to get past this, failed me. The only ammo cheat could only be enabled from the beginning of the game. Poor design, indeed.

VC games definitely have some DRM on them so you can't play them at a friends house. Remember you can (already) back them up to SD cards as it is and transfer them back to Flash memory as needed.

The talk about NeoGeo games and not enough room? NeoGames are (for the most part) a max of 330 MegaBITS not MegaBYTES. There are 8 bits in a byte folks.
