Nice! Good stuff, will listen tomorrow.

what do you think should happen with Artie Lange?

I'll look forward to the new CAGcast Cheapy and Wombat

downloading now, will listen before i fall asleep .

LOL ! Nice Street Fighter 2 Reference !!!

Brazil !

Great show, Listening right now

Can't wait for CAG2.0 or whatever it's called, the next step in the websites evolution. Have you heard about Screwattack's changes to their website?

It's a sad situation. I think its fairly clear he is back on coke and is quickly losing it. I think he needs to go to rehab (again) and and therapy, and hopefully can salvage his career on the Stern show.

for the CAG review system you should use what i like to call my ESRB review system

E - Eject it ([0-3] terrible game, not worth your time/money)
S - Steal it ([4-5] mediocre game)
R - Rent it ([6-7] good game)
B - Buy it ([8-10] awesome game, worth your time/money)

Downloading now. Reserving opinion spot for later.

Tai endorsing Linux? Cute, indeed!

What is the M-16 360 video?

You could always go with a 1-5 system
1- So bad I'd rather play the Aquaman game.
2- Hardcore fans of genre/IP only.
3- 100% average.
4- Very good, near perfect.
5- Portal good.

Gonna listen when I get home from school..

I dont think he's doing coke. He eats too much and with his amount of money he would always be on it and rarely come down. I think there's a possibility that it's just for the show.

Loved the ' Stupid Bitch' comment

Good show this week. I like the pull system that Wombat mentioned and the I think a rating system that does incorporate some type of "how much would you buy this one for?" system would be nice. However a "Buy it, Rent it, Avoid it," and perhaps a "Get It Cheap!" works for me too.

Sweet! great way to wake up from a nap, new show and as an added bonus CAGs on news theme song I've been waiting for.

I doubt it was an act. They didn't replay the radio show afterwards, there is no show rundown on howardstern.com, and there are no plans to show it on Howard TV.
If you've listened closely recently, Artie has made several references about him doing coke. For a long time, he has not even joked about doing coke again...being very serious about his coke problem.
He has also been falling asleep during the show lately, perhaps suggesting that he has been up all night and not continuing the drug use during the show.

Also, I've seen Arties movies...his acting isn't that good.

Hey, I like that Idea, Second that.
Good show as always.
So Cheapy you said you would take any fellow CAGs in Tokyo out for dinner, what do all of us CAGs who are not in Tokyo get. A contest with some amazing giveaway?
