Ok, now Cheapy really needs to address this, I brought it up in one of the last posts on page 163.

This probably isn't the best place to ask this, but at least Cheapy will read it so...
Cheapy, you should do a video with the giantbomb guys tasting strange Japanese foods/drinks while they're in Japan for TGS.

Hey Cheapy and Wombat,

With the announcement of the Nintendo DSi, it seems that Nintendo actually considers the DSi its "Third Pillar" system. Looking at what it's offering as far as gameplay possibilities, there's not much there that differentiates it from the normal DS, so I'm wondering if you believe that claim or is it just PR hype making the new system announcement out to be more significant than it really is?

For Mega Man 9's big release, Capcom sent out PR kits with an NES replica box and cartridge that contained a CD with press info, screens, and artwork along with a T-shirt with the Mega Man 9 box art on it. Somebody that got one of these rare kits, put it up on eBay, and at this moment, it's selling for $750 after 31 bids. Do you think the winner is just insane for being willing to pay $750 for a T-shirt and a CD and should this person be deported to another country if they actually pay the seller?

To Cheapy and Wombat:

What do you guys do with the games after you play them? Do you guys just keep them on your shelves and kind of "collect" them? How often do you guys replay your old games? If you decide to trade in the games, how do you choose which ones to trade and which ones to keep in you "collection?"

Also, any new movie recommendations Cheapy? What about you Wombat?


PS: WOMBAT RULES!!!

Hey guys,

I love the Cagcast. Recently you guys overtook over the top spot from 1UP Yours in the coveted LimpDaddy Monday Morning Commute Extravaganza!

I'm looking at getting a new HD camcorder. Cheapy, I know that you recently bought the new Sanyo Xacti 1010, would you recommend it? What do you use for editing software? Any pros or cons? It seems pretty small is it too small?

Wombat, you must have a some sort of camcorder to post your videos, care to talk about it?

thanks guys!

Hey guys,
Looks like Guitar Hero is finally revising their DLC strategy to compete with Rock Band. They are apparently bringing bands like Foreigner, Boston, and Jimi Hendrix, along with allowing people to finally pick singles instead of bulk-song packs. Do you think that this will halt the number of disc-only games like Aerosmith if the strategy goes well? If the value is decent, would you guys consider purchases of the DLC if you get the game? Thanks.

Dear CheapyD

since u got married to a japenese girl, are you going to let Tai (CheapyT) marry a japenese or an american woman????

Hey Cheapy & Wombat,

I've been contemplating all the games that are coming out this fall, and one in particular has kinda dubbed itself "Sleeper Hit" to me. Far Cry 2, this game looks absolutely amazing. As well the game includes a very in-depth map editor which is available on all platforms, and appears to be extremely easy to pick-up and use.

I was wondering if either of you have had a hands-on experience with this game and what your opinions of Far Cry 2 may be? Even if you haven't had a hands-on experience I'd still like to know what your thoughts are of this game.

Hey CheapyD and Wombat! Cheapy, what's with all of the Mighty Muggs hate a few shows ago? Wombat, what Mighy Muggs have you collected so far?

Hey Cheapy, I don't get it.....You picked Little Big Planet as your Best Game at E3 for 2 years in a row. Now that you've played the beta you seem skeptical and genuinely not excited about it anymore. Did you not play it before now or what has changed your mind?

Hey Cheapy and Wombat,

Today I was listening to CAGcast 136. I was returning from a doctor's appointment and my bus transfer was at a dount shop next to a catholic girls high school. I walked in to a) get a diet coke and b) smell the sweet donuts (a pleasure I can no longer enjoy due to diabetes). I took my ear buds out and turned up the volumn, so I could still listen while placing my order. There were several of the CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS in the shop. And when I raised the volumn, you two ers started talking about Wombat's gay.com PSA. Next thing I hear is "sperm, semen, masturbation" and other terms within the earshot of these CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS!!!! I was mortified and embarassed. Thanks to the two of you, I cannot go within 1000 ft. of that high school ever again. THANKS A LOT, GUYS. And the both of you!!!

a faithful CAGer'

PS. the name of the donut shop? YOU GUESSED IT! Krispy Kreme.

Cheapy and Wombat:
As you probably know, Fallout 3 was recently leaked onto the internets, nearly three full weeks before it's release date. Nearly all of the gaming outlets I follow have commented on the leak in some way. It seems that whenever game piracy is brought up, the majority of writers mention that they prefer to support the developers of games by purchasing the games they enjoy. Personally, I feel the same way. The writers also usually infer that piracy is bad because it doesn't support game development. Using this rationale (and ignoring legality for a moment), isn't buying a used copy of a game just as bad as downloading it for free? What are your thoughts?

Keep up the great work,
Shafnitz

Do you think CheapyT will get alota girls in japan when he's older?

Um theres a reason why you buy headphones smartass instead of using earplugs.

That's an awesome story though.

1) If you could only get 1 game this holiday season, what game would it be and why?

2) When are you guys gonna get some guests on the show?

3) What have you been playing while taking a dump lately, Cheapy?

Hey CheapyD and Wombat, with the world wide economy in shambles would you still agree with analysts who said a year ago that the video game industry is recession proof or do you think that will eventually see game sales drop?


PS: Cheapy can we see more pictures of your apartment i.e. your kitchen and bedroom. Just wanna see what a typical Japanese apartment looks like, Thanks.

Fellas quick question for you. As far back as you can remember, what has been the absolute best video game deal either one of you has gotten. Happy new year to both of you and may it be a happy and healthy one.

Dear Cheapy and Wombat this is my first post as I am a new listener and of course it would be a question. I play MMO's and havent touched an xbox or ps in quite some time. I was wondering what your thoughts are on why game systems arent making mmo's? I was also wondering if you have heard any news on the Marvel universe game that was supposed to come out for the 360?
Love the show and its really making me want another 360 or ps3, keep up the great work!

Hey Cheapy and Wombat,

What do you guys think of the news from Microsoft that the new Xbox 360 dashboard update will not work on Arcades without a storage device attached to it? The update will need 128 MB of space and Arcade units right now only come with a 256 MB memory card, meaning that Arcade owners need to give up half of their space just for the update and there's no word what may happen if you were to turn on the system without the memory card in the slot. Microsoft says that they'll be offering storage solutions, so I'm wondering what you two think will be the solution and what should be the solution they offer to the unfortunate owners of an Xbox 360 Arcade? Is this the fault of the update being so big or the fact that Microsoft decided to release a hard drive-less 360 coming back to bite them in the ass once again?
