Ps what do u guys think of the heavenly star lumines download i tohught that was the best thing ever

Wombat, You may have answered this question in the past, but all i've heard really is "I watched football over the weekend." How big of a sports fan would you rate yourself as? (1-10). What sports do you like to watch, and what are your favorite teams?

Guys,

One improvement I would like to see for the 360. Is some sort of jukebox system for the automatic viewing of download movies. I discovered this when I download a season of The Ventures Bros. What pain it is to have to setup each episode to watch. What do you think?

Keep up the good work.


Btw

Give me some Killzone.

When are you goign to redo the webpage design and will users be able to keep the same format if they want?

In the promised CAG site overhaul, will new features such as personal game lists and collections be included for registered CAGs like IGN and 1up? Or will the user ability settings still go only as far as they do for the forum preferences?

Cheapy,

After dropping a couple grand on your plasma tv, do you ever get 1080p envy?

On the topic of show length - I tend to burn my copy to CD and play it for the morning drive time (and various other times). I tend to listen to each show 2 or 3 times that way.

So I vote for keeping the show at 80 minutes or less... cause that's how big a CD is.

I'd certainly love to get a copy of Phoenix Wright. I've actually purchased 3 copies of the original (one for myself and two for my friends) and would love to get ahold of one of the ones Wombat is getting.

Love the show, though my questions don't get asked.

Cheapy, it sounds like CheapyMom listens to most of the CAGcasts, so my question is: does she ever say anything about you talking about your most recent happy ending from Mrs. Cheapy or how your mom has nothing to do all day but ship out your stuff?

Hey Cheapy,
SInce you are a big ROBOCOP collector, Do you have the new ROBOCOP graphic novel?
If not, here it is.

Do you guys know what's the deal with the labeling on the Wii discs? They are all one color and make the games look very cheap. They remind me of the pirated games you find in Asia. I assume this is some cost cutting feature to lower disc manufacturing costs?

Cheapy,
You definitely quoted Tombstone (Val Kilmer's version of Doc Holiday to be specific) in the latest great episode of the CAGCast. This was quite commendable, as Tombstone is the greatest western film ever made. What is your general opinion on the movie? Better than Robocop...?

On a similar topic: how come there has yet to be a truly excellent game made in a Western setting? Rockstar's Red Dead Revolver was subpar and Gun was way too easy and nothing more than mediocre.

Lastly, I am an aspiring game journalist in Alaska who has recently set up a website and podcast with a friend and colleague of mine who lives in North Carolina. The podcast is called Last Frontier Gaming (www.lastfrontiergaming.com) and is on the iTunes Music Store but we're still working some kinks out. For example, we record our podcast over Gizmo Project, a VoIP application similar to Skype but the quality is pretty weak.

So my question is: how do you guys record long-distance with such high quality?


Thanks for rocking so hard, guys. You don't have to answer the last one on the podcast if you were to choose a question from this post to answer, but I'd still really love to know how you guys record.

I noticed the Masterpiece Prime on the desk and the Quiksilver shirt...

My CAGcast question: Did you surf when you were here in NY? If you come back to visit I'll take you surfing in Jersey. I've been surfing jersey since I was 8. Manasquan inlet is an incredible break and deceptively good for our area.

Cheapy and Wombat,

The topic of VC/XBLA prices seems to continuously come up, and with good reason. It is offensive to just about anyone listening to a CAGCast to know that Nintendo/Sega expect gamers to pay $8 for an old Genesis title that's available on compilation discs that are easily and--even at their standard MSRP--cheaply attainable. I'm not saying that every downloadable game is a ripoff, but many do seem to be overpriced.

That said, my question concerns the points themselves. If the idea is to get the gamer to not think about points as money (hence Microsoft's 100 points-to-$1.25 conversion rate), why not give consumers motivation to buy points in greater quantities, i.e. why not have points 'bulk prices'?

I realize that Microsoft and Nintendo don't want to throw potential money away, and I'm not saying that spending $100 at once on points should get you twice the points-per-dollar that spending $50 will, but to me, a small break at higher quantities would benefit the console manufacturers and game publishers in the long run. One, they would have your non-refundable money that much longer to collect interest on, and two, most gamers would get the itch to spend those extra points 'lying around' on 'borderline' content, as opposed to just buying enough to get what they absolutely need (which, of course, means you'd buy that many more points over the course of the console's lifespan).

I know iTunes doesn't give consumers breaks on buying the higher-priced prepaid cards, but then again, that's just dollar-for-dollar credit on Apple's store. Is it really a bad idea for Microsoft to get me to buy 3500 points for $40 (that's like $3.75 worth for 'free'), as opposed to having me just get 1600 for $20, only when I need them? Would I buy 7500 for $80 right now? You bet. Even limited-time, promotionally-priced 'bulk rates' would be an 'everyone wins' scenario, I think.

Whats the Japanese take on Westerner food,Cheapy?I heard they put mayonnaise on pizzas.What other odd things do they put on food?

I have been listening to the ol' CAGcast for a couple weeks and I have a question for you fellas.....I recently obtained a 360 and I am amassing a decent collection of games (thanks in no small part to CAG) for it but this being my first next-gen experience I am not yet online. I am at best mediocre at most games, and I only have a couple of friends on Live. I am apprehensive about diving in and joining public games and getting destroyed only to become disinterested with online play...what is your adivce, how can I get the best online experience given my limited finger dexterity????

Hello cheappy and wombat, love the show, digg it every week. Do either of you watch the bonus round on gametrailers.com? if you havent the show is a pannel of industry experts that talk about the gaming buisness and where it is heading. if you havent give it a try, its very interesting.

If you could ask Miyamoto any question, what would it be?

P.S. what's your favorite kind of pie?

If you were able to give a game endless levels, then told to play that game for the rest of your life, with no pauses, no nookie-nookie (sex), and nothing to eat but bread, balogna/baloney, and Mountain Dew, what game would it be?

First off, love the show.

With the recent release of the Wii, it seems that a lot of game developers and publishers are taking the half assed approach to the Wii and that is re releasing average last generation games with Wiimote control. Do you see this as a continuing trend with the Wii within the next few years, or do you think it will die when the developers move on from the PS2 to the 360 and PS3 and there will be no reason to port games since the Wii's hardware isn't comparable to the 360 or PS3? Also why do you think some of last genenerations AAA titles like Okami for example, are not planned for getting a Wii makeover when they would be more suited for a makeover than games like Scarface?

Dear Cheapy,

I was wondering why you don't use some of that affiliate cash at play-asia to get wombat a ps3? That way you both can discuss it even if he doesn't particularly want one. I mean, considering that you guys have done so many podcasts, it would be like paying him less than 10 bucks each, and i think that might work out to about the new minimum wage or less here if you break it down by hour. Maybe you can make him smell some milk (not me) next time you're back in new york.
