Turn it off early. It's funny. It's the cag equivalent of "Sit Ubu, sit. Good dog."

Chin up wombat. As a fan of the marc maron podcast you should realize the pitfalls of humor. For every ten people who find you funny there are going to be at least 2 who don't because they either don't get it or it's just not their style. Serious Wombat really brought this episode down. Let's see a return to form next show.

Comedy about a carpenter?
Oh, the Bible?

Solid gold, Wombat!

I'll chime in that I like all 3 podcast hosts. I think the chemistry is great and everyone brings something different to the table. Don't worry, Wombat. You have plenty of fans.

Ship's description of Skyrim almost made me want to play it; a true feat since I usually can't stick with RPGs. Then I remembered AC: Revelations is coming out on Tuesday and that everything else can wait.

Wombat, you try too hard to be funny- stop it please. I do think you have good ideas and insight about the industry, so keep those coming. Also bring back those indie game reviews.

I love Wombat - he's the main reason I have continued to listen to the CAG cast for years. Nothing against Cheapy or the new guy, but Wombat's the man!

Add me to the Wombat love'n express. If he finds a way to pull negatives out of this thread however, then im off the train.

Disappointing U3 coverage (as expected). PS3 exclusives have a usual format; quickly go over the positives, stay on the negatives for longer and then quickly move to the next topic. Sad, but usual.

Look forward to more Skyrim impressions though!

Wombat rules!

Yup, I got and used it. Thanks!

That is funny. I must have missed it. sometimes, because of the technical shortcomings of Skype, we simply just don't hear each other.

Cheapy, I think the term "franchise fatigue" is what is really happening with the COD hate. I totally understand why people are just ing sick of any new COD because we've been playing the same Michael-Bay-style short military campaign and angry-12-year-old multiplayer game since COD 4. Making an annual version of any game I think really starts to grind on us. I have yet to play Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and now there's a new one comin' out soon and another one in 2012? They're starting in on the fatigue, too.

Just my opinions

Cheapy, it sounds like that girl was only interested in the CAG millions, doesn't sound as down to earth as you said.

Cheapy - "What's that comedy with the carpenter?"

Serious Wombat -"The Bible"

Serious Wombat is even funnier than Regular Wombat

I hadn't listened to a CAGcast for quite some time and listened to this one because of Wombat's drama queenery - and was reminded why I don't regularly listen to this thing. Seriously, how old are you guys?

And Wombat, you saying "I never let the hate bring me down" is a joke. You don't...until you can make it a point to mention it on the podcast. You must have been needy enough to ask for the back-pats, well you got them.

Cheapy, your facebook story sounds like you are WINNING!

I'm not going to lump myself with the Wombat haters but I will agree with some of the other commenters here who said sometimes he tries too hard. He does the New Yorker thing of talking over people, usually Shipwreck, to tell a joke. If the joke was lame and people wanted to hear what Ship said that can get annoying. Just show a little restraint, Wombat. Look at what people here are saying, Serious Wombat was funnier than Regular Wombat.

I think that the Wombat haters are just part of a loud minority. I listen to the Cagcast because of Wombat. As a father of a couple of kids its nice to have someone on the show in my same situation and to whom I can relate. Also Wombat is the only one on the show that routinely plays devils advocate and will start discussions on topics such as video game embargoes.

I like you wombat for who you are, so don't change for anybody!!!

Other than that I enjoy this show every week the most.
Keep up the great work guys.

I'd go look this post up in the cagbag if I wasn't lazy, but I'll comment here and if he sees it he sees it.

To the guy that wanted to know how Shipwreck juggled school and gaming, it's not that hard. I currently work 40-45 hours a week and go to school full time as a pre med student. The easiest way to do so is to take easy electives with the hard classes. For instance, I'll take Calculus, Organic Chemistry, Self and Values and Fundamentals of Speech next semester. First two are hard, the latter are easy. Throughout the week I hardly play anything, but on the weekends I'm free to do as I please. I do want to say that I enjoy gaming as well, but if your true aspirations are to become a doctor, then you may want to get your priorities in order. During med school, you won't be allowed to work, which is why I'm working full time and saving, now. Most (if not all) schools won't let you work, because what you are learning could be the difference in someone living or dying and if you don't think you can put down the controller for a few years, then you might want to consider another career path. I'm not saying you won't ever be able to play games during school, but think of it as paying it forward. No games now and in the future you'll be able to play more games, because you can retire earlier or even just work part time and make three times as much as alot of full time factory workers. Your path is hard, but it's not impossible. Don't stress out over it. It's just a ride. Managing your gaming/school will become easier as time progresses, but again make sure you're splitting your classes, because everything in more easily managed in small chunks.

P.S. - Also, if you're not in the medical field, now, then volunteer at a hospital. Most med schools won't even take an application seriously if they don't have at least 100+ hours of volunteer work or experience already. When the average acceptance rate to med school is around 8%, then anything to give you an edge will help tremendously.

Good Luck

Did anybody else find it funny that right after a commentor said shipwreck was an accountant that one of the first pros he mentioned for Skyrim was its inventory system.

I like Wombat because he is funny and because when his jokes to not hit, the long pause or witty slapdown from Cheapy or Shipwreck is hilarious and sometimes the podcast goes to hilarious places because of wombat comments

Please no women they are too nice and it kills the podcast dynamic go listen to IGN Unlocked podcast a few months ago where Arthur Giese is being hilariously mean and critical and the women practically shouted him down with niceness and PCness

Best podcast out there do not change anything

and dang Cheapy showed the ego today!!! No jokes from Wombat about the Cheapy Empire, no more straight Wombat!
