Perfect! I can't seem to sleep tonight, this should be good ^^

Nice!

And here I was giving up hope for a new Cagcast...

Zelda: Twilight Princess was really good, just not great. Very fun, a solid 7.5-8, but not the worse game ever. However, Cheapy is reacting appropriately to the reviewers' slobbering it with "10/10" reviews. Mario/Metroid games tend to get the 3 point "Nintendo Nostalgia Curve" bump as well.

Archer is ing hilarious, it's like James Bond with all the drinking and partying and no actual competence. That and "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" are the two funniest shows on the network (although with the other "comedies", that's not that hard to do).

The Wii works as a profit model 'cause it's EVERYONE'S second console. Who on this board DOESN'T have one? It's just a Gamecube with motion controls. MS should have opened the wallet put the aux processor in the Shitbox so the 360 CPU/GPU can focus on high-end graphics. As designed with the CPU drain, you're looking at a flood of games equal to "Kingdom for Keflings" with waggle. You're not having a motion controlled Halo with 30% of the CPU dedicated to tracking hand and dick positions.

Awesome! Thanks guys! Just in time for a FF7 all-nighter to get it finished off.

I'll be listening to this while doing the last bit of my taxes (and looking for last years)

sweet

Great start on your diet, Wombat!

I absolutely hate checkpoints before unskipable cutscenes. I played through Lost: Via Domus, which had long and boring “previously on Lost” cutscenes, especially since you get them right after you beat an episode while it was still fresh in your head. Having to repeat them if you die during a cheap quicktime or instant kill sequence almost ruined the game for me.

EDIT: Ship, go to the challenge mode in South Park. You can choose from 15 unique characters each with their own stats and powers (they are unlocked as you play through the storyline).

alright a new cagcast Im going to listen to this while I play yugioh!!!!

haha, I love the title (almost as good as Clunts). Poop and fart jokes are awesome.

Wombat,

I was listening to the show and am stoked to hear about your diet. It does sound healthy. I'm sure that it will get you down in weight. Then what? Can you stick to that diet forever? Do you want to?

A healthy weight and fitness level requires some form of regular exercise to achieve and maintain.

Besides, its pretty nice to work out a bit every week and be able to eat tasty treats when you feel like it.

Good luck.

Edit: You too, CheapyD.

Hold up, Cheapy. You talk bad about Twilight Princess when you not only didn't finish it, but you didn't play it in your native tongue. Of course you're not going to like it when you barely know what's going on.

Great show guys, Wombat where's my credit for trying to start the beef!

I absolutley agree with shipwreck about the quick looks, they're awsome. I come for them and stay for the other entertaining content such as Endurance run and the podcast!

Also cheapyD, diet tip, i know you hate leaving the apartment so do what wombat's doing and get an exercise bike and just ride it for 45min while you listen to Stern.

Hashim - Al-Naafiysh (the soul) as the intro?!?!?! ing awesome! I know most kids don't know what that Genius is... gonna snag that off itunes as soon as I get a data connection.

Oh, I guess I just forgot to mention that we played through and unlocked that stuff as well. Butters' special power is great.

My wife was sitting next to me and she disliked it too.

There is good chance that the new apt will have easy (across the street) access to a pool and small gym.

The points was the length of time played and that doesn't change even if you wife was right next to you.



I've learned long ago to disregard Cheapy's opinion on Wii games( actually most games). Do that enabled me to enjoy the podcast much more.

Originally Posted by sotc1988 My mediocre comment just comes from the fact that I have begun listening to other audio shows this year, most notably being the stern show. Obviously, cheapy this is better than your podcast and the things that have always bothered me about the show have become more noticeable to me. These include the fact that probable four out of five of wombat's jokes fall flat and end up leading to a ten second pause or when the show's pace is just obviously slowed down by too many unnecessary pauses. These can be charming sometimes but more often than not it's annoying. I know it doesn't really bother you Cheapy and you're happy with the show's quality and so it's not going to change. It doesn't bother me to the point where I refuse to listen because I know what the cagcast is like after listening for so long. Mediocre was definitely too strong a word to describe the quality, so I apologize. Your choices were interesting because they were so different from other mainstream video game news. This doesn't equate to being good though, like Pat Robertson saying Haiti is at fault for the earthquake because they made a deal with the devil. It's interesting but I don't enjoy hearing him say that. Don't read too much into that comparison, it's just the quickest analogy I could think of.

But that one of five, is worth the risk. Nice post though, if you like mediocre comments.

Rapture in Antarctica? I guess you've watched an episode or two of Batman the Animated Series Wombat?
