You totally should name the new segment The Wombat Weport.

Agreed. Especially since the vast majority of superheroes are vigilantes. "Before doing your illegal activities would you mind registering your secret identity."

Obviously, when you guys decided to use a reference like that, you weren't thinking of the millions of Jews killed in concentration camps. Or maybe you guys are aware of that, but don't think of the details - like being given a bar of soap and shampoo before you stepped into a shower that was actually going to gas you to death. Or maybe you don't know about the Nazi groups that went town to town, gathered up the Jews, made them dig their own graves, and then shot them one by one. I really hate to be so dour and serious about this... but I don't think you should use Hitler as a funny reference in a joke. It's just not right, Cheapy & Wombat! PS: Very cute pic of you and kid, Cheapy! :-)

Someone didn't listen to the CAGcast...

It's supposed to be controversial. Which it is.

I'm also highly offended by the title of this cagcast. CheapyD, you have no respect naming the show that... you should be the first person to know that Wombat is never right. How dare you.

*shakes fist*

Strong show. I enjoyed hearing about Sega sending Wombat a copy of Conduit despite what he said when he first saw it. Can't wait to see what comes of this.

Can't wait to watch Hell's Kitchen.

I am listening now, but I skipped minutes 15-20 because I'm sure I'm mentioned, and I don't like to listen to parts like that (I'll listen if someone tells me otherwise).

Wombat, if you want to force Gamefly to send you a game that's about to come out, make sure you send your game back about a week and a half before a game comes out, put the game you want at the top of your Queue, and remove every other game from your list. You're pretty much guaranteed to get the game that way when it comes out. And also Wombat, make sure you play multiplayer for The Conduit, because you must be thorough in your analysis of the game.

I think this week's show was pretty good and hopefully Wombat's section continues until he quietly overthrows Cheapy as host.

@ tired internet meme guy - if you can't see how futile and silly it is for someone to lecture CheapyD and Wombat about what Hitler did in WWII like they are unaware then I genuinely feel sorry for you, or at least for those who have to take care of you.

Keep bashing away at your keyboard some more and maybe next time some words or even an actual argument will pop up on screen.

i dont get why anyone plays games on easy difficulty. yeah i know we all have diff skill levels when it comes to games but man why they hell even bother. though i dont always try the hardest difficulty i tend to play a game on the next hardest and then the hardest and its always.

yeah some games can get really hard to beat ( like god of war with the clone battle, or deadspace on the highest difficulty) but it always feels more like an accomplshment to play a game once to get the basic story and a hang of whats going on and then go in there and kick its ass on the highest difficulty.

sucks that it seems like more people tend to lean towards just doing it on normal or easy or they just play games for trophies or acheivements but i really like to play games that challenge me and force me to get better or to try harder to win.

Does anyone else disagree with that? I think that most people who trade games to Gamestop have no idea they are getting ripped off so badly. I think most knowledgeable and savvy gamers either sell their stuff on amazon/eBay/etc.. or trade their games on a site like GameTZ, Goozex, or even the forums on CAG. Maybe I'm wrong with this, but I know that I avoid selling my games to Gamestop at ALL costs.

And I think most people who bash on trading games into Gamestop don't know how to do it right. Saying one method of getting rid of games will always be better than another is just foolish.

I can understand/appreciate that. Sometimes, though, I enjoy playing on normal just to play. Real life can be enough of a challenge for me some days and I'd rather just shoot fish in a barrel.

I'm sorry you find the meme tired, but I was hoping to support your very succinct response with an appropriately mocking picture. I suppose I could have added a paragraph further elaborating how the lecturer had missed the point of the title, the identities of those who made the joke, and the folly of taking our completely un-serious hosts seriously, but I was envious of your pithy response and truncated my post accordingly. Please forgive my transgression of riding on your coattails.

Rather than continuing to bash away at my keyboard, I offer this:

E*Master was asking for outro suggestions for our last podcast, and I actually suggested that to him. He went with Matthew Perry talking about Fallout 3 on The View instead.

Not bad Cheapy!

I usually play a game on the normal difficulty, or occasionally the second highest difficulty. I don't see the point of playing a game when the entire time I'm getting frustrated because I can't get past a certain point no matter what I do. Though games that I love, I'll play on all the difficulties just to get the most fun out of the game.

And you can't really get better at CoD4 when every shot is a one-hit kill. All you can do is memorize where the enemy spawns so you can shoot him before he sees you.

Great show guys! The title peaked my interest for sure...I liked your point of view on the whole rating systems I but mostly games that are given 6 and 7 scores. Those scores just help my wallet, they are usually the cheapest. And" Mad Props" to Cheapy for busting out the good ol "CD's Nuts" joke on Wombat...classic

Great show this week guys. I used to listen to the CAGcast every week about a year ago, but stopped for some reason (I can't remember why). After randomly tuning in a few weeks ago I've found myself downloading the CAGcast this morning for the 5th consecutive week. What does that mean? Well I guess you guys are putting out the usual quality content.

I noticed that twitter comes up regularly in the CAGcast, seeing as it's such an important part of the industry these days. I'd like to take the moment to shamelessly plug the CAG Twitter Directory thread I made:

http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/...d.php?t=225538

I'd also like to ask if either of you have seen this story yet?

Cheapy, do they have White Castle in Japan? If so, take your friend there and buy him a few sliders. He'll be pooping for days

speaking of call of duty ive been playing world at war and that damn sniper part is kicking my ass. i think i may have finally figured it out but as mad as its getting me i know ill ge past it .......just hope it doesnt take too long like it looks like it will lol.

I don't know if CAG tshirts even exist but that CAG Member who is going on Hells Kitchen needs one pronto. I'm sure they film them in casual attire occasionally on that show!

I was really annoyed at what Wombat said about Activision's threat to Sony.
Activision would be downright braindead to take away support for a console that made them hundreds of millions last year and would continue to make them more and more, the support base for the PS3 is growing pretty fast.

For example, Cod WAW on the PS3 sold about 4- 5 million and the dlc on the ps store, etc. Guitar hero and the songs make them tons of money for sure.

You were talking about left 4 dead and saying that Valve didnt make l4d for ps3 and instead used that cash for marketing, no, the reason they didnt make it for ps3 is because they think its too difficult to make a game for it, but now are looking into it.

This is just activision becoming last gen's EA

Hey, Wombat:

you can get the 3.0 for the iTouch for free. You just need to find a place to download the firmware(there are places...) and then install on your Touch (shift/command click on the "restore" button on the iPod status). That's it. There's no verification or anything like that. $10 for an update that is free for the iPhone is just ridiculous...
