Outro: In Dreams - Roy Orbitson

Looks like I'll be forced to finish Alan Wake before I listen to the whole thing... that's some damn good motivation there.

Nice! Explicit tag. About 100 episodes late. Thanks for the episode.

Its very clear where the spoiler discussion starts...at the very end of the show.
You don't have to worry about any accidents.

I figured as much basing it on the Metro 2033 one, and the other game you guys did too which I forget... Mass Effect 2? I don't think I listened to that part because I still haven't beaten that one either.

Definitely appreciate the whole separation from the regular episode, makes it a lot easier than to guess where the discussion ended.

Why is it that Wombat is the only one that gets to talk about his boring personal drama?
Wombat to Cheapy "Nobody cares, lets move on."

Edit: also Cheapy, I don't think there is anything that Nintendo can do to please you and make you plug in your Wii.

Thnx, downloading now

- and everyone leave Wombat alone - haha

:32-:33 minutes into the show boatcrash and cheapy start talking at the same time. Audio editing problem, or rude podcasters?

Haha, yeah Boatcrash was kinda talking first but I guess Cheapy being " Head Cheap Ass " he has the right to start talkin whenever he wants haha

Skype problem...fixing that now. I'll have a new version uploaded shortly.
Edit: Fixed.

I'd download it but I do not know what my two year old did with my touch, she stashed it somewhere and only brings it to me when it needs to be charged.....

The point of dropping the price of the DS (at least in my humble opinion) is two fold: One, clear out the remaining stock of the DS lite and two, lowering the price of the DSi/XL helps separate the pricing structure between them and the 3DS. If you have $150/$170 for DSi/XL and $200 for 3DS, it's easier to make a distinction for the consumer to say they're different products then having them bunched up at $170/$190/$200. Expect this announcement to happen at E3, the DS lite will be at $99 I'm guessing.

Great show guys.

Really liked the Alan Wake spoiler discussion at the end. It did seem like there was some confusion near the end though; when Cheapy brought up the live action webisodes. I think Wombat and Ship thought he was talking about the in-game TV show 'Night Springs'? I hope Ship and Wombat check those live action webisodes out some time because they're pretty cool, and add a bit to the story.

Hope ya guys do more of these in-depth spoiler discussions.

Just finished listening to your spoiler filled Alan Wake convo, and I have to agree with you guys... Definitely one of my games of the year.

And just like Cheapy, the moment the first episode ended, I was grinning from ear to ear. They really did a good job presenting the whole thing.

Great podcast as usual! I'm holding off on listening to the Wake ending, as I have 1 episode to go.

My comments so far:

Rock Star CAN make good characters... my favorite is still CJ from GTA San Andreas.

Cheapy brought up the excellent Austrailian western "The Proposition". Which is directed by John Hillcoat, who also directed the "Red Dead Redemption" short film, and "The Road".
"The Proposition" was written by (and has a cameo by) Nick Cave, whose song "Up Jumped the Devil" was the highlight of the "Alan Wake" soundtrack. Everything is connected...

Skip the clip show. Those are super boring. We've already heard the past 200. We don't need to hear them again.

Yay CAGcast!!!

Cheapy please don't mention Australia & or New Zealand as weird. Other then that i enjoy your podcast, hope you make another 200 episodes.

Heh...I hope to make it to Australia soon for a vacation. The time difference is only an hour (I think).
