listening to cagcast #122 Double Dragons, i was thinking the show can have a new segment called "Cags On Boobs" where you guys can talk about celebrities in gaming or just anyone in general and how nice their boobs are. just a suggestion, love the podcast, guys, its great!

I'm going to ask this again, because I want to know what you guys think.

Cheapy and Wombat

With the "next gen" of gaming, I'm noticing a trend of soundtracks being made available for current games as digital downloads (like Uncharted and Pixeljunk Monsters for example)

Do you think game companies missed a golden opportunity by not putting out game soundtracks last gen? With the success of sites like Play Asia, there is obviously a market for this kind of music.

Do you think game companies are finally catching on that they can make money from selling soundtracks in the West?

I hope my question about CoD4/Halo3 "levelling" didn't get missed. I thought it was a solid question that leads to a decent discussion.

Good show guys,

Thank you Wombat for suggesting hulu.com, I've bought and moved into my first home about 2 months after you bought and moved, and I don't have extra money for cable right now so I'm so glad I can watch those shows for free. [I'm watching "The A Team"]


Cheapy, how about having John on the show to talk about his hardwork on the site?


Micheal Pachter - by making those arbitrary predictions for publicity - do you Wombat and Cheapy think that in some way he's impacting the market? [In my opinion he's pretty popular and if he says something people are going to respond in one way or the other - for instance if he predicts high sales for Too Human, then people may take a second look at the game whereas they probably wouldn't have if he had not said anything]

Feed subscriptions

Hey all,

Just recently found the site, and love it, and somehow successfully subscribed to the CAGForeplay podcast using Doppler, and wanted to sign up for the CAGCast as well, but none of the links seem to work with that type of program (I need the actual RSS feed).

Am I missing it on the site? I've been hunting for at least 15 minutes or so

Thanks!

Rock band prices in europe. i know this is a old story, or old news to but when you guys had mentioned that Rock band would be super expensive in europe. well do you think that the prices of video games would drop if our global economy would be free. so more games being bought because of free trade lower prices for the games and no extra charges that the companies have to pay to ship the games, and the less we would have to pay for the final product. or am i totally wrong about this? the show is great thanks and keep it up. and Wombat do you get scared when Cheapy yells at you?

One game I really always loved was Killer Instinct for the SNES. Few years back there was a screenshot shown of the game for 360. You think E3 will be where it will be announced? Also your thoughts about this game?

Womat's Contradiction?

I'm a huge fan of the show and I can't state this too many times, but Wombat kinda got to me in episode 125.

Wombat states that he is completely against obtaining illegal copies of games for early review purposes, even though the game would or could be purchased for in the future. In my mind it's logical to be against this, but Wombat constantly asks CheapyD what shows or movies he is currently watching and if he's found "Ways" of being able to watch them i.e. Heroes, Battlestar, etc. The Television shows and movies are purely for entertainment and Wombat doesn't seem to have a problem with this. I would like to get some insight as to why Wombat seems to be fine with obtaining TV shows and movies, but not video games?

I am not saying Wombat is for downloading TV Shows and movies, but he seemed to have contradicted himself.

Hey Wombat, I am happy that you enjoyed Metal Gear Solid 4 so much (hope Cheapy jumps on the band wagon). I know that you didn't like the cutscenes but since you faithfully committed to it and didn't skip any I was just wondering if you would try to learn the story a bit more. I think you would enjoy the story especially since you aren't looking for sandbox games this week . Also the MGS database is available to download on the PS store.

Cheapy, if you sold the site for a couple million dollars like you said you would, what would you do next?

Serious questions:

- Will there ever be a CAG 3.0?
- Will there be any new additions to CAG, forum wise?

Medium-Serious Questions:
- How many licks does it take to get to the center.... lol.. i'll stop there.

thanks.

Any more help on this? I've tried the following two feeds:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/cagcast
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/podcast/cagcast.xml

And neither work with Doppler. This is the first podcast I've had trouble with, and I actually don't have any trouble with CAGForeplay, which I don't understand.

Cheapy & Wombat two questions:

1. I know you are big fans of the Stern show, so I'm sure your are familiar with the "Wack Pack". So if you had to assemble a CAG version of the "Wack Pack", who would you choose for the group and why?

2. Do you plan on adding sub-forums for the CAG Groups that are now supported for the site? Right now all you can do is post comments which limits the funcionality of the groups. If there was a private forum for each group that would be great.

Just wondering if you still have plans to do a live show like you'd mentioned maybe 8 shows ago. I thought that might be interesting.

Exclamation

Dear CheapyD and Womabt

After playing Patapon i noticed that everything that I did was in rhythm with the game. For example changing the channel, brushing my teeth ect. Has anything happen like this to you after playing a game.

http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/...d.php?t=189476 link to my thread about the question

Cheapy, it seems like you enjoy watching reality tv at least some. & i know that reality tv is huge here in the states. so my question is how do people in japan feel about it? do they have a lot of reality tv programs there? & are they as popular as they are here?

I just want to give Wombat a quick Pro-tip:

Don't use cheap diapers on newborns!!! Their shit is basically liquid and by using bargain bin diapers, its just pours out the side. Its an extra $2 well spent. Congrats and sleep while you can!
