Whoring out for a little bit of money I see. I am quite disappointed. Now the CAGcast will be soiled with ads for crap no one will even care about or buy... Just so Wombat can get a couple bucks. With all the kick backs this site gets for referals, Wombat should just get money without these stupid methods. If the money was going to a good cause or all to Wombat, it would be a different story. Wombat deserves things but not through this channel.

All you who support this move are blind.

First it was being a whore for free games, then digs, and now it's for money. What's next?

I love listen to the CAGcast because of what it brought and they way they did. Now it's probably slowly going to turn into Ad-cast.

Thanks

I Will listen soon

will get them envelopes out tomorrow just to be sure

Sweet - I know I got a couple stamps lying around. Also, congrats on racking up 90 episodes! Giving out "free" shit is a great way to celebrate.

Thank god you guys posted this. I usually listen to podcasts between the hours of 1 am and 5 am (I'm pretty sure I have a kind of insomnia) and I ran out! Then I looked on the front page and voila, new CAGcast!.

Sounds like Silent Hill has stolen House of the Dead Voice Actors. xD

Wombat, they always say they have another bid. Dont believe the hype. The realestate market is falling apart, and its going to get worse. Cheapy should expect more earthquakes.

Metroid Prime 3 is NOT a rental, period. Cheapy, I hope you remembered to toggle your controls for the game, aka Advanced controls because they work so much better than default controls.

EDIT:
Another good show. But once again, I must call in Professor Pronunciation for the following:

Ninja Gaiden (Guide-n)

There you go.

Nice show

The difference between the Lair reviewers guide and the sheets of paper we reviewers get in the jiffy bag is that the reviewes gudie was sent out after the game had been reviewed by these major outlets. Was Sony trying to make them review it again with this new knowledge of how the controls really work?

I agree that people are spinning this shit too much, but I just wanted to chime in

Also that blister picture nearly made me lose my lunch.

I'm a long time listener and really love the podcast.

My preferred platform is PS3, so I'm well informed about it and noticed quite a few factual issues in the last few podcasts. I'd like to point them out here:

-"Super Stardust HD is taking too long", arcade mode can indeed take a couple of hours if you're good (my 216M run took 2h), BUT there is a planet mode and it's about highscores for each planet, so it only takes a few minutes for a single planet run.

-"Warhawk/ranked servers", you can host your own ranked server. See the manual for useful hints: http://www.us.playstation.com/Warhaw...awk_manual.pdf

-"Warhawk would be better on LIVE", LIVE is nice and all, but SCEA and SCEE DO host a bunch of dedicated servers and the initial title/launch rush is calming down in the last few days. Lately it's a lot easier to find open slots on those free servers.

-"Selling PS3 with DLC adds value to the system", true ... but CheapyD mentioned Warhawk as an example and that's one of the few exceptions. Warhawk (PSN version only) is bound to your PSN account and can only be used by that account. So you have to sell your PSN account with the PS3 in order to transfer ownership of the DLC. If that's a problem, then the retail disc would have been the better purchase.

-"Having your friends on LIVE makes a difference", I got my friends on PSN and it makes a difference and all the nice things you guys said about LIVE hold true for me and my folks on PSN. It's just a matter of the view point, don't use it to quantify a service.

Damn good show, wombat use the psp's RSS feature to download podcast to your psp. It's nice and easy to do!


*EDIT*

The guy above me has some really great points, thanks for adding FACTS to the show. I'm getting tried of podcasters pulling **** out of their ass.

What the hell!!! It look's like you're growing a giant nipple on your foot.

I dont understand why people keep saying heavenly sword is just a rental. The game has a ton of unlockables in the game and a ton of stuff to do once you finish. The orignial God of War was only 5 or 6 hours long and the second was only 2 hours longer. If you are gonna say heavenly sword is a rental then you gotta admit god of war is a rental.

Plus to the guy who is bitching about ads. You dont pay for the CagCast and you can always fast foreward past them. Please STFU. Cheapy and Wombat never asked for a penny from you, and if they can make a small bit of cash on the side to help them out then I stand by them and support them.

Err. Unless you were some kind of freak at the game, God of War 1 was at the very least 10 hours and God of War 2 is about 12.

62 minutes in currently, appreciate you guys mentioning me.

AFAIK, Starbucks doesn't have free Wifi, but is indeed a T-Mobile Hotspot, and if you go into your PSP settings, you can get 6 months of free T-Mobile Hotspot access. There you go.

Wombat, congratulations on the new psp. I hope for the love of God you get yourself a screen protector. I don't have a psp slim so I don't know about the screen scratching but I highly recommend the Hori screen protector.

NinjaMajik: I have a regular PSP that I've stored everywhere and never had to worry about the screen scratching...the side of the case however, is a different story, when I got it stuck in the little compartment below my CD player, and had to take it out with a screwdriver.

happy belated birthday CheapyD

can't knit for the life of me, but how about those who want to contribute to lil' cheapy's college fund? or the "let cheapy give a speech at TGS" fund?

the boil: ugh...I'm swearing off all gummie candies.
