EDIT: damn, someone beat me to the first post by 10 seconds.

Too much Gametap info. Reminds me of an infomercial. I also have seen those Gametap "A day in the Extra Life" commercials on Adult Swim. They give me a good chuckle but I'm not going to go on gametap so I can play Dig Dug when I can go buy a hard copy of the game along with others included for the same price on my [insert current console]. I can also play it six months from now. I think they should focus on more current and thus better looking games like Beyond Good and Evil.

Oh and that Dig Dug commercial bugs the hell out of me because Mr. Driller is Dig Dug's son so he should of said Mr. Driller. Not funny, but true.

Just finished listening. The second half is way better! Thanks for the mention. I don't why you think it is too early. Everywhere I go I see Halloween stuff on front lawns and Halloween stuff on TV. I guess it is just me. Oh and oddly enough Wombat said thorbahn right and CheapyD didn't which is weird since it is the other way around most of the time. It is like Thor as in the thunder God and the bahn like James Bond minus the d.

Anyways thanks again and it was pretty cool.

Great video of guitar hero. I wasn't really interested in this game at first but it does look kind of interesting. It somewhat looks like he is actually playing a guitar. I was thinking this game would be stupid and not really be anything like playing a guitar. Might have to watch out for this game. A little too pricey at the moment though.

When you were talking about GameTap at e3 you made it sound like it was going to be a content delivery service for relatively new games.

All it turned out to be is an online store for emulations of the crap I have collecting dust in my attic.

Mario Strikers is actually good? I like most of Nintendo's games, but I'm not a fan of Mario's milking (only Mario games I've liked this gen are Mario Power Tennis and Paper Mario 2, though I haven't played Mario & Luigi), but I'll have to take a closer look at it. What sets it apart from a "normal" soccer game besides the Nintendo-ness and the simplifed and faster-paced gameplay?

BTW Wombat, just to let you know, Roy and Marth are not in the Gamecube Fire Emblem. It's in a completely unrelated world and storyline to any previous FE. It's a great series though, don't let the lack of Marth and Roy turn you off. Just thought I'd let you know right now, because after being asked it a trillion times, people sometimes get pissed off when you ask "Where's Marth and Roy in this game?"

You two will still be doing the CAGCasts together after Cheapy moves to Tokyo, right?

Digital Life TV had a nice video review of Guitar Hero, complete with demonstration on their last show, episode 9.

Some of the gamecube kiosks have demos of Strikers now. It felt like a really good Soccer game...and then when i had mario jump in the air and kick the ball with an explosion as it flew twards the goal on fire, i was sold. Impressive, really.

Another great CAGcast. Major cool points in my book for playing Gunstar Heroes, Wombat!

I must know if the Gametapped version of Gunstar Heroes has the same slowdown issues that it had on the Genesis.
