Do either of you remember the promise of new DSi games that use the hardware in new and different ways? Now we hear that there's a new DS coming out with 3D. Would you agree with me that the DSi is officially a still-born stepchild, albeit a profitable one for Nintendo. Nobody's going to develop for the DSi with the 3DS around the corner, are they? And anyone who already started is going to look at either scrapping the title or converting it to a 3DS one. Of course there's also the possibility that the 3DS will be stillborn too, with Nintendo too worried that they will segment their market by making games not work on (and thereby not sell for) the DS Lite.

I say f*** Nintendo and Sony and do your mobile gaming on the new iPhone that comes out this summer.

While you guys aren't game reviewers you do have a certain amount of obligation and pressure to play games when they're released if only to tell us (your community) about them.

There is a large part of your community that buys games later than the crowd. It's practically the basis for your site. The fact that I play the hottest and latest games of Summer 2008 saves me a lot of money.

While my case is extreme have you guys considered the possibility that your complaints about DLC being too late might be largely influenced by your early adoption? I'm sure there are CAGs who wouldn't buy any game released in the last six months w/o a $30 gift card but Mass Effect which is barely 3 months old is getting raked over the coals for being to slow with it's DLC. I'm sure with it's January release date there's a lot of gamers out there who won't even get the game for a few months to come much less completed it.

hey guys,

i was wondering what your opinion is on the growing trend is 3d movies and soon to be 3d games, do you guys think that 3d gaming will undoubtedly raise prices in games and push away current gaming customers? also i want to say that shipwreck is the real star of the CAG and the most Underrated cag member

Simple question for Cheapy/Wombat/Shipwreck, what are your thoughts on the following:

http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/...b=13806&page=5

Seems like a pretty heated debate (over 100 comments, 1600+ views), what are your opinions on the subject?

How about a return of the HypeWagon? And for a bonus: has anything fallen *off* the Hypewagon recently? For example, I was really excited for the new Splinter Cell, but after the demo I will be passing on it.

I'm pretty surprised I haven't seen a CAG iPhone app yet. Given the functionality of the site I'd gladly kick back a couple of bucks for one; is there any plan to release one soon? Apologies if you get asked this often, I haven't heard it mentioned recently.

Hey Cheapy/Wombat/Shipwreck

Will you be buying Crysis 2? After the news that Crytek UK will be "making the gameplay unique to both the console and PC versions." does it make any of you want to actually buy the game. Do you think it will break the total domination of Modern Warfare 2, or do you think that the game will not break the hold in the market.

As an avid listener of the CAGCast i'd like to hear my name on the show Hey Ship, Cheapy and Wombat.

Cheapy-

About 53 podcasts ago you mentioned that you listen to Howard Stern on your (i)phone(?) when you walked your kid to daycare. I got an ipod touch and can not figure out how to do it since it does not support flash and the app Sirius has does not let people listen to Howard Stern. Where you able to do this on an iphone and if so how?

Go to the app store and search "Radio".

You will need a constant internet connection to do this, and most radio apps cost about £2

I've noticed what I consider to be bizarre behavior that people engage in when it comes to spending MS points in the Xbox Live Marketplace. On a number of forums that I visit I see people looking for help spending their points. They're aren't usually looking for content recommendation, but for price help. These people can't stand having oddly numbered point totals, so they try to find items that will even out their totals or zero them out. For example, If they have 800 points and buy DLC that costs 560 points ($7) they'll have to get rid of the remaining 240 points. I've seen people purchase 1600 point cards, buy a 1200 point game, and then immediately try to get rid of the remaining 400 points because they want a zero balance.

This seems crazy to me. They're throwing away real money on themes and gamer pics they don't want because they want their point total to look a certain way. I treat my points like real money, because it has value like real money. Why wouldn't someone want to keep their balance so they don't need to buy as money points in the future? I wouldn't go to a store and hand the clerk a $20 bill for a $7.50 item and then refuse all but the $10 in change. I wouldn't throw in some crappy impulse items from the register to get my total to a round number. Do any of you do this with your MS points or have any insight into this? I don't understand it at all.

Short version:

Do you think it's odd when people try to use up their "leftover" MS points by buying stuff they don't want, either to hit a multiple of 400 points or zero their account? I think it's like throwing away money, but some people hate having oddly numbered balances. Do any of you do this or have any insight into this behavior?

Hey, Ship! Could you please mention more games that Mrs. Ship likes playing from time to time that aren't big hits like ME2? She seems to have similar gamings tastes to my fiancee and I'm trying to get her more into gaming so any ideas on new games would be VERY helpful! Thanks a lot!

Hilarious podcast, loved the bit about Cheapy's poop problem. Brings me onto the topic; Which podcasts do you guys listen to apart from the mainstream ones?

I have a recommendation, the "Two Chimps on a Davenport" podcast by the guys at Next Gen Walkthroughs. It's equally as hilarious as you guys, and that's how I found out about you guys.

Also are houses in Cincinnati actually $60,000?

By the way your situation (Thursday recording, Monday release) reminds me of an episode of Top Gear. You guys should check it out, a British Motoring Show that is, quite literally, the funniest show out there.

Just finished listening to CAGcast #195, great job as always. I am still a bit confused about what day it is, err I mean was, umm or what ever.

I would imagine the problem when CheapyD is not the size of the dump but the size of those japanese toilets. Maybe I have missed it but I haven't heard any storys from Cheapy on the public restrooms in Japan yet. Every time I talk to someone who has visited Japan the first thing they always talk about are the public restrooms.

Cheapy, Wombat, and Boatcrash,

I was recently downloading DLC for my orig XBOX and was struck with how much of the stuff was absolutely free. I can't remember that it always was, but since I had already downloaded much of it and am a CAG, I think it was. I really hate that they started charging for every little map and shirt just to nickel and dime us.

Shipwreck, have you checked out Resonance of Fate? Seems interesting.

Are you guys going to buy Final Fight: Double Impact? on XBLA

What is your favorite arcade game that multiple people could play? I loved Sunset Riders, TMNT, and The Simpsons. Hell, just about any beat em up. the Dungeons and Dragons one was great.

Toilet Crysis was my first CAGCast and I can say I will definitely be listening from now on.

1. Some FYI regarding the woman with the toilet paper hanging out of her clothes -- that usually happens when a person puts TP down on the seat so they can sit on it. The TP was stuck to her, not so much stuck in her @$$.

2. Would you guys consider the Left 4 Dead franchise dead? It seems like Valve rushed L4D2 to the market, and the popularity for the games have just plummeted ever since. Also, the latest L4D2 DLC is coming out (at some point), and they're killing off one of the original L4D1 members which to me sounds like a huge mistake with the fans. Do you feel there will be a future for L4D? Or does nobody even care because Portal 2 is coming out later this year?

3. Has the Yakuza ever tried to recruit CheapyD? Also, any predictions on what the next Japanese Summer Pepsi flavor will be?

Dear Shipwreck,
Now that you own a Donkey Kong arcade machine, what's next for the Shipwreck arcade? A Lightgun game perhaps?

Cheapy, don't worry, I've been clogging up toilets for 20 years!

Here's a tip that may help. Take your dump as much as you can get out. This next part is very important. Don't wipe. Flush first. What I call a; Mercy Flush. After the flush, if your all threw shitting, wipe and flush the paper separately.

What I've learned over the years is, most toilets/sewer systems can't handle monster dumps and toilet paper at the same time.

Love the show, Slick62
