Wow, some person hated the CAGcast so much that he killed himself to delay the recording.

What's the name of the song in the intro of the last podcast?

I really like it, it's quite catchy!

Or he loved it so much that he wanted to give them a news story to talk about. I guess it depends on whether he was yelling "I can't take another ing CAGCast!" or "It's all for you, Wombat!"

+10 for the Omen Reference

yeah how about some linkage.

You guys could get 100,000 listeners if you offered to give away the extra E3 media badges you would get.

Jesus christ.

Wombat that is completely horrifying.

cheapy, they are building a robocop statue in detroit. A group on kickstart has raised 50k in one week for the purpose

Maybe the episode should've been called "Red Concrete."

Love the show guys.

The Louie episode in question was fracking brilliant.

So, I might have missed the episode where you discussed this, but what is the groups take on DLC?


Let's look at three different types of DLC:

1. Extra game content/story -- (Dragon Age and Borderlands are good examples) -- General cost -- 15 dollars.

2. Extra multiplayer maps only -- (Halo games and Call of Duty Games) generally about 4-5 dollars per map, packs include 3-5 maps.


3. Extra...stuff: Example -- the new Marvel vs. Capcom game you mentioned DLC of extra characters for 5 dollars per character.


Do you think there's a point where DLC is being abused? My biggest fear is that DLC will lower the quality of games that are released as more of the industry will want to hold off on the good parts of their game to be added a month or two later as DLC.


Along that same vein, I heard that a few of the major publishers are looking into ways to "discourage" players from buying games used. One of the ideas revolves around each game having a code to allow you to play the multi-player version of the game. That way, people who buy the game used, will need to purchase a code to be able to play it online, but they'll still be able to play the single player version of the game. What are your thoughts on that and what do you think would be a fair price for that kind of code (if you consider it fair at all).

My biggest problem with the concept currently is that this means I couldn't loan a game to a friend and have them experience the online play which may be the best part unless they have a trial version. This could potentially hurt the game rental business as well.

I ask this understanding that the game industry feels that it's losing a major part of the market to the used game stores for people who don't want to pay the full price for the game new and they're trying to figure out how to recapture some of that revenue.

(yes this is my first post, woo! I found them through the ITUNES podcast. They're #1 for gaming news according to the ratings when I found them)

Can someone PLEASE tell me what the name of the Intro music for episode #227 is? Several people posting on that show thread have been asking for the song name to no avail. Cheapy listed it as "Super Duper Mario" in the ShowNotes but a good 30min of Googling and YouTubing yielded nothing for me. Also, I'm pretty sure I hear a Ludacris voice sample in there from the song 'Stand Up', but still, nothing! Help!

I kind of agree with GTmaster39. The guys just didn't seem to put much effort into the show this week. They bemoan the fact that they don't get more listeners but couldn't be bothered looking up any Microsoft or Nintendo news. Really? Really?

I frankly didn't have much time to play much or look up much for the show this week. When I did look though, there wasn't anything all that interesting.

People will listen to your podcast no matter how un-interesting the news may be. I enjoy you're guy's show. And coming from someone who listens to Smodcast and live.twit.tv, you could talk about pickles all day I wouldn't care! Not only that but what happened with your podcast Ship?

I really don't want to have to start listening to IGN's podcast or any other gaming site for that matter.

Just talk about stuff, there's plenty out there...... trust me a lot of people appreciate your show, I just wish Cheapy felt the same way.....but unfortunately he's "Lost the Eye of the Tiger"..... That kind of pissed me off, you built this empire Cheapy and now your sick of it. Kinda of saddens me.

This one's dedicated to you CheapyD. Chin up Buddy!

I've got an idea to get more listeners - put Boatcrash in charge of the show for a few months to mix things up a bit.

And Wombat, when you you either don't know the answer, or get something wrong just admit it rather than some talking horseshit and then backing up claiming you knew the answer all along...it drives me Crazeee!

WTH is your 360 avatar wearing?!

"The night was moist."

I completely forgot about that quote from Throw Mamma From The Train.

Also..."Criss-cross".

Benihana doesnt fling flaming shrimp at anyone anymore btw... and i no am no longer a patron.

"For the record" - I wasn't tattling on POP for using "Bread's Done!" . . . CJ was clearly giving a shout out to CAG, since they had mentioned CAG/Cheapy on that episode.

On that note, I suggest you guys start using "Hacker Alias" to identify online usernames.
