Notice my limp-wristed talking style!

Wow that Goozex thing is cool! I'm going to actually sign up this time.

Can't wait to listen--congrats on out-digging Major Nelson!

Awesome Can't wait!!!!!

Boo, I want to win a PS3 but I already signed up and won a DS Lite.

Wombat, Wii's go on sale at Toys R Us sunday so go get it for the fax machine team.

Wombat has no memory: you discussed Metroid Prime 3's Augest release a few cagcasts ago, a live one I think.

CheapD looks possessed in that first picture with screwattack, the angry videogame nerd does too, even craig also looks possessed for that matter.

That picture is just creepy. I'm wondering am I the only one who thinks that?

You should have seen it before the red eye reduction!

I wanna see that devil version. You should also make a toilet tuesday video for screwattack featuring your Japanese toilet. Advertising Cag on another site is always a good thing.

I forgot to talk about Fable 2...you can hear about it here:

I'm intrigued by Cheapy's ability to let certain games diminish his ability to like other games.

Edit: Why does Wombat care about MGS4's trailer not being gameplay? It's not like he's going to play it if it was gameplay. Also, gameplay was shown at TGS last year. Where Snake was rolling around in barrels, doing the worm, using his Octocamo, and shooting off of his back.

Bummer about your 360, Cheapy.

Going to listen right now

Thanks CheapyD and Wombat

I want to enter in the Goosex competition for the PS3 as well ... but I live in South Africa ... Only Bermuda, US and Canada are allowed :(

Good stuff, as always. It seems to me that a lot of people are saying that Sony kind of "won" E3, but then with the faux price cut some of the steam was taken away. Will they be able to come back in the face of Microsoft's monster release list this fall/winter?

Yeah, no kidding, old news there. The big news from Nintendo as far as I was concerned was the announcement of release dates for SSBB and Mario Galaxy - especially since everyone was convinced both (or at least one) would slip till 2008. You guys didn't mention those bombshells at all . (Though I kind of understand not talking about SSBB since they didn't demo it at E3 for some reason).

And way to piss on my parade Cheapy - I was getting really hyped for Metroid after watching the latest videos . Despite that, it is still my most anticipated game of the Fall. I really WANT to get into Mass Effect, but the shooter aspect of it is just not appealing to me. I want my RPG's to be RPG's . I mean, the story, the graphics, and the conversation elements all sound great, but I'm not sure I can get into the combat parts of it. It is strange that you find the shooter aspects of Mass Effect so appealing but didn't like the Metroid gameplay. Unless it comes out at the ultra-AAA level (with metacritic average scores in the upper 90's) I'm passing on that till a price drop. Same with Bioshock.

Did you get a chance to play Katamari for the 360? That, strangely enough, is my most anticipated 360 game this Fall. Yes, I have strange tastes (and they definitely don't line up with those of you and Wombat with your affinity for shooters and dislike of JRPGs).

I actually did play Beautiful Katamari...it's pretty much the same thing as the PS2 games, with no jaggies. The graphics aren't as nice as I had hoped.

That's about the impression I got from the videos. Well, my kids were playing the PS2 one a few days ago and no jaggies is definitely a nice thing at least. It does seem from the vids that the objects clump to the Katamari in a more "realistic" way (if it isn't ridiculous to suggest such a thing ) but otherwise the style is exactly the same. Since I loved the PS2 versions (and even the PSP one) I don't mind this game being a "more of the same" one bit. It will be nice adding achievements to the mix as well. That should provide more incentive to get the better times/Katamari sizes and such.

Good show, I was so bored since I woke up early that I listened to it twice while doing other things.

The new Goozex contest pisses me off, if I knew they were going to give away a PS3 I would have waited and not signed up during the "fair" DS promotion that thorbahn3 "won".

wow Cheaps, you look very happy in those pics. Probably because wombat wasn't there.

I know I would be be happy knowing wombat isn't around. Anyways just started listening to the cagcast and I'm kind of disappointed about MP 3. I was hoping the gameplay would be good but I guess I was wrong, at least there is still SSB.

I don't think your eyes are fully open in any other those pictures lol.
