I don't think it would be a good idea to make CAGplay Forecast its own separate podcast, instead just have the episode appear on both the CAGcast feed and Foreplay feed.

Wombat's game of "DS or Porno title" is the most hilarious thing I've heard in a while.

Great show. Nice to have Shipwreck on the cast. He does add some class and respectability. The Foreplay cast is great too though.
The porn website thing was the best. This is classic crazy Cheapy and what brings me back to the CagCast week after week. The dick in a 360 deal was also great. Another example of unique Cagcast humor.
Keep up the great work and look forward to another year of Cagcast. I'll be listening for the second time tomorrow at work. The masses thank you for your efforts.

I simply can not get passed the constant bugs, freezings, errors and any other technical difficulties. This is really a shame being that I really was seeming to love the game. It's not my system or my disc as I have tried multiple copies of the game and many other people have the same problems.

I got the animation bug where your character gets stuck and doesn't walk - luckily, it spontaneously resolved itself. Had that been a permanent thing, I wouldn't have played another second of the game. I understand what you're getting at!

The month that PJM came out, the PS3 practically overheated from use.

Great Show! I would love to hear Shipwreck join Cheapy and Wombat every week. I also really like the concept of sharing your picks of the games you enjoyed most in 08, because in the end, its not about frame rates, or game length or story lines, its about how much fun you get out of it.

good show, I agree with Wombat, MGS4 was the best game I played this year....everyone needs to play that game

enjoyable show. I listened to it at work and now I have forgotten what movie ship and wombat said we should watch off netflix.

Good show, I loved DS Game or Porno. You guys should do games/trivia esque things like that more often.

enjoyed the show, guys. great to have you back, cheapy. though, you guys may be shooting yourselves in the foot (feet?) there. now, the people will want shipwreck in the mix all the time.

the porno vs. ds game was great. i actually used to have kelly the co-ed on dvd.

big shout out to ice pirates. i saw that movie only once when i was a kid, yet i've never forgotten that conveyor belt & metal teeth scene.

HAHA i loved the porn or ds quiz LOL it was awesome i was laughing on the train

Originally Posted by Zerostatic Anyways, I know Cheapy doesn't think he is biased but trust me, from someone who listens to like 14 different gaming podcasts on and off, the show is definitely biased towards the 360. 360 demo's and Xbox live arcade games are often-times discussed in detail while similar things on the PS3 and Wii are glossed over as if they didn't exist.

I do not list to 14 gaming podcasts; I merely listen to a few. But on all my gaming podcasts, there are two major things I have noticed: the Xbox 360 gets the majority of the coverage, and no one is playing their Wiis. I do not think CheapyD is an anomoly in that he didn't finish a Wii or a PS3 game; I am sure there are other CAGs who are in similar situations.

Originally Posted by Zerostatic I understand that Cheapy is a 360 fan but if he's going to do a multi-platform gaming podcast he really should broaden his gaming. I mean you heard the podcast, he didn't complete any PS3 or Wii games the entire year! He couldn't even give a Wii game of the year nomination because he only played 2 games the entire year on it and then admits that it hasn't been plugged in for months. That's ok for a regular gamer but not for someone who is trying to be a icon in the world of gaming.

I have heard this argument before, that it is CheapyD and the CAGCast's job to cover all games equally. I do not agree. I think the job of the CAGCast is to be entertaining. I would much rather have CheapyD talk to me about the games he enjoyed and why, rather than things he is struggling to get through just to make listeners happy. He is better to listen to when he's happy about gaming.

There is only one area that CAG needs to be fair to all systems, and that is deals. If the deal section suddenly became only Xbox 360 games, then I would start worrying. But as long as he covers everything there, I'm good.

I was also wondering what the opening music was, and a google of "you got it mashup" eventually landed at Girl Talk. It's the track "In Step" on the Feed the Animals album there..

Thanks for choosing NGII shipwreck. I feel slightly vindicated knowing that someone else whose favorite last gen game was NGI also saw through NGII's laziness. It shouts "where's my million dollar bonus for DoA4 bitches"

opening track was girl talk edit: beaten

it sounded like a homeless man shouting random letters over an old roy orbison song... very bizarre... and awful

I'm working my way through the podcast right now, but I really admire that you guys not only lamented the end of 1up but gave a whole-hearted endorsement of RockSolidAudio. It has been terrible to watch the guillotine on the 1up staff-- layoffs are always painful to hear about.

Really good show this week. I don't know why, but I just loved this episode. Maybe it was the 'Porno or DS game' segment... you should have more quirky segments like those. gg Wombat

Congrats on the Forbes article, Cheapy!

The beta for the new games collection system just sounds odd for just forums.

None of you played Mirror's Edge? I thought Wombat said on the CAGplay Forecast that he was playing it.

I hope you guys played the second episode of Penny Arcade Adventures since it's even better and offers more difficulties if you want that sort of thing. It's $15 and the second episode offers much more replay value. Plus, it's another easy 200 points.

I don't think Mario Kart Wii would win any awards because the series hasn't really improved at all since Super Mario Kart, as I've never been interested or enthralled by any Mario Kart games since SMK.

I never really paid much attention to what World of Goo was supposed to be like, but it sounds a lot like Elefunk on PSN, which is about building bridges for elephants to cross to the goal.

I know you guys think this is the worst game in the world, but LBP also shows you the high score of the friend right above you on your friendlist leaderboard.

Didn't you hype up GTAIV a ton before launch, Cheapy? I'd be interested in hearing about why you put the blame all on everybody else and not any on yourself. I remember you bringing a certain someone on the Live CAGcast before its launch to talk about his "special" version of the game and talk about how life-changing GTAIV was.

Good show, though it sounded like Cheapy wanted to go back to sleep as soon as Wombat and Shipwreck would just shut up.

Did you miss it being listed in the OP under the spoilered show notes?

I really enjoyed this week's show. After the disappointing news about 1up, this was a great pick me up. To all the people complaining about bias, Cheapy and Co. are not professional games journalists. They play what they want and they try to deliver podcast content to the CAG users. If you are looking for an all-encompassing podcast you are in the wrong place. Even as comprehensive as Shipwreck is, even he misses things. Ease up CAG community.

Why buy the Wombat when UGO can milk his jewy nipples for free?
its sad whats going on with the UGO 1up fallout. It was pretty obvious that Ziff was sinking when there was a mass exodus of staffers last year, I even addressed job security on a 1up blog last year and Rocksolidaudio responded with "do you think we'd be hiring if we were shutting down". I hate to say I told you so but I told you so. Best of Luck to the 1up crew. There goes CAGcast's major competition, and its just the beginning of the corporate fat trimming coming this year. Its just more proof that Cheapy has the best job in the industry.

Haha, I sure did.. And here I was admiring my sound-detective abilities..

New CAGcast listener for the past few, loving it!
