Hell yes

Thanks again to Cheapy and friends for the CAGcast.

I'm not sure I understand Wombat's comment on expectations regarding Xcom since Amazon and Best Buy are offering a $15 gift card with purchase. Is there a difference between that and the $20 in RZ points Best Buy is offering with higher profile titles like Medal of Honor: Warfighter, Assassin's Creed 3, Halo 4, and Black Ops 2?

Does anyone on the show regularly read comic books? If so, what titles are you reading?

I don't understand...

Not much money in the budget for Trickster's costume.

Also, here are the winners of last week's Half-Minute Hero contest:

Thanks so much for the code Cheapy, can't believe I won something!

Looking forward to the show getting me through the workday.

I won too!! Was very surprised I had a pm from Cheapy this morning. Thanks!!

Woot I won a code thanks Cheapy!!! Cant wait to listen to the show.

Listening at work, danke schon!!!!!!!!!!!

Listening tonight on my drive from Columbus to Cleveland!

And FTL is an AMAZING game. I definitely recommend getting it this weekend if you haven't already.

No clue what vault symbols shipwreck is talking about either cheapy. And Cheapy, you and your wife could be retired in boring Hawaii for the rest of your lives if you want to right?

I think Xcom might be getting underestimated. It has a legendary reputation on PC and it will be offering up a pretty unique experience compared to other games this season. I rarely buy a game on day one, but I'll be getting this one.

Hello! Cheapy, Wombat and Shipwreck,

Great show today. Thank you for the posting on Gamefly PC sale. I saved a lot of money on Spec Ops: The Line ($7.49).

You are so right about the Xbox live's reward birthday gift. Since my birthday is in October, I was wondering what I will get from Microsoft. When I read my birthday gift e-mail, I was like, "WTF"! 20 MS points is nothing. It's only enough for a gamer picture on discount.

I thought that they might learn from PSN+ membership and give out an "outdated" free game as birthday gift. Boy, I was so wrong.

Suggestion for Microsoft! The gift can be either a game from XBLA or Games on Demand. Even free a DLC or 400 MS point means something for the Xbox live users. Microsoft is so cheap in this case. I am so disappointed.

I was right about Shipwreck and Dem Vault Symbolz! Don't forget the hidden ECHOs, they have a bit of backstory for different characters. Some of the other challenges are fun and quirky. But the game does hold a lot of secrets like Minecraft, Seven (the movie), or other minor references like Commando shouting you get a bullet and you get a bullet.

Not sure I'm excited about next week's Watch This Bitches featuring Hulk Hogan's sex tape.

I know it seems ungrateful to complain about Microsoft's "reward" program offering a 2% discount each month but Wombat's right, it's insulting. I have to imagine that the average XBL user is not spending enough points each month for this discount to be a significant reward. I think Wombat is 100% correct in his assumption that Microsoft will profit from this promotion due to people having to buy extra points in order to afford anything on the marketplace. A simple fix would be to allow users to purchase points in any denomination they choose.

I know the other two don't mean any harm and their all friends of course, but please stop being disrespectful, in my opinion. I'm picky about what podcasts I listen to and since I currently only listen to five, I don't want to stop listening to this one for such a reason.

Yeah, nevermind all the times he has introduced Shipwreck and just focus on the one time he doesn't.

Other ways you can see Real Steel,, have a mom that buys all new release movies, the wife and I borrowed her bluray copy and watched it cause I heard it wasn't that bad, definitely didn't think there was anything eluding to the kid not being his though, they kept trying to point out how the kid acted like him, like pushing his bot into the fight with main bad bot when he grabbed the mic, ya know going all in like that. K, now I have to go play some borderlands 2 with the wife, unfortunately I have to wait to finish the podcast to find out about the Vault talk and the rest of the show,just had to voice my thoughts!

Oh Hulk Thermos, what have you gotten yourself into now???



Now the term "Nuclear Testes in my pants", as heard while playing Lollipop Chainsaw, is even more relevant...

why does shipwreck hate batman so much? the disdain in his voice pierced my ears and my soul.

The difference with those titles are they expected to sell well and companies are offering gift cards because of competition and/or the game companies are subsidizing some of it (Doubt it). I believe Wal-Mart.com started the GC/promo war recently and Amazon started the first war years ago.

Basically Best Buy wants you to go to their store and buy other shit outside of the game (hence a gift card) and hope to make a few $ in profit when all is said and done. Amazon wants you to buy more shit to. Being a CAG we are somewhat evil if we don't "'overspend"' on Amazon products after getting promo credit and up just spending what we get in Amazon promo credit alone.

Either way It's apparent XCom isn't going to sell well and I'm sure the NPD and VGChartz (lulz) numbers will show when the time comes. No one is saying It's a bad game (infact Wombat said it will be awesome) but they are saying it will sell like crap and I agree. Most likely Amazon saw it better to offer credit before hand trying to off some of the copies before the price started to drop like crazy. Best Buy followed suit as well. Here's hoping Amazon/Best Buy didn't get stuck with too many copies of a game that won't sell well.

Either way, Wait for the sale. I predict $20-$30 by January.

free is free.
Lets see what YOU bring to my birthday.
