Wombat's Disney Pictures:

wooooo

woot

Yay, I love these! Great job Cheapy!

ecw ecw ecw. Time to put cheepyd threw a flaming table.

That's not what I expected Wombat to look like.

me either. but come to think of it, i didnt exactly have an idea of what he looked like anyways.

Strangely enough, that's exactly what I thought Wombat would look like.

And you're right about "star" gaming journalists. There have yet to be any really emerge. When I see Geoff Keighley, I always get the impression that he's shilling for someone or holding back what he really thinks.

Who won that gift card from the awards contest?

I just didn't like this one that much. I guess it is because you treaded old ground (25 to Life, Xbox 360, Wombat hates RPGs, etc) and your new ground was way off topic (Valentine’s Day, Walt Disney World). The male cheerleader import segment was good though.

Maybe next time you two should read up on game previews of something you want to play and talk about what you like, don't like and what you'd like to see about the game. Just my opinion, so don't take it seriously.

Oh CheapyD, you should get The Rub Rabbits!. Very couple friendly

And to Wombat you should stay at the Animal Kingdom lodge next time.
Watching Giraffes, warthogs and bison from your hotel window is very cool.

don't tease me with that title.......

Thanks for the feedback, I can't really say that I disagree with you that much to be honest, I never mind critisism if its contructive. All that really matters is that you are listening anyway

How long before Subby is naturally drawn by the title?

About superstar gaming journalists - Don't you think the EGM guys are closer to this than just about anyone else? They used to appear on CNN every week and usually when there is any notable videogame news that the general public might be interested in there is usually an EGM editor there presenting it. Also, as a game journalist myself, I have always considered EGM to be the "major leagues" and that is what I'm working towards in my career.

What about guys like Sushi-X back in the day? He was absolutely huge. I would also say that the well travelled James Mielke qualifies as a "star" (at least I usually pay closer attention when I see his name on a review).

Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! does have female cheerleaders...just expect to be really stretched to the limit since they are part of the "very hard" difficulty.

Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time is a pretty decent rpg for the DS.

I really don't understand the qualifier "cartoony" used to describe game graphics. What exactly does that mean? Aren't all game graphics "cartoony"? If "cartoony" was one end of the spectrum, I guess the other would be "realistic," but I fail to see how one is better than the other.

Windwaker was called "cartoony" too, but what I think people meant was "bright and cheery". Though I don't think that is what CheapyD meant when he was talking about Exit.

I think if you want to be a "star" game journalist, you should consider not using the word "cartoony".

Agreed. I'd also like to add that Wombat fits the gamer "stereotype" perfectly. Then again, so does Cheapy so who the hell knows... Either way, I'm looking forward to listening to this one on the way home tonight. Thanks again fellas.

hahahaha for a minute there I thought it was a picture of a statue of john belushi come to find to out its wombat. Goin to listen to this one on the way home.

Suck's that they dont have Sirius in Japan. You're missing out.

Go ask your Mom if she knows who Dan Hsu is. Then ask her if she knows who Roger Ebert is. Chances are she don't no Hsu.
