Yay! Another CAGCast, damn you cheapy you've got me hooked on Howard Stern and I'm still listening to it.

Afterward I'll give the CAGCast a listen.

keep up the great work.

[Xavin]

I remember this one time I went to a Mongolian BBQ (which is fucking awesome eats btw) place and on my second bowl about half way through I had to get it to go. But I didn't know that wasn't okay to ask, and the Asian guy at the counter was giving me the stink-eye the whole time he was packing that up. I felt kind of bad but then I got home and ate that shit right up and all was good. Point is Cheapy, you could totally get away with getting a couple slices to go. I'm sure the obligated to be polite Japanese restauranters would be steaming on the inside but as long as you get yours...

A BMI of 25 is overweight. Well just barely, a 24.9 is normal weight.

Still listening to the rest. Shaping to be a good show so far.

EDIT: I really disagree with the so-called 5 reasons why RE5 isn't very good. Sure it might not be scary, but the co-op system works well (aside from the not being able to give your partner a gun). And whoever wrote that article must be slow in the head, because theres shortcut buttons. You assign items to the d-pad and the right shoulder button accesses the weapon upgrade menu. A lot of other things they mentioned are explained once you complete the game and read the files (mainly the racial stuff). Whoever wrote that article really hasn't spent time playing games.

[weevles]

Cool. Earlier in the week or later, I'll take it!

Edit: oh waitaminute, you weren't kidding about the show title. I think this is one of, if not the most disgusting show openings I've heard yet.

Edit2: wow, incredible story about your robocop present!

You guys forgot about American Me Edward James Almose rapes in that movie (literally)

My Wii fried itself after 2 months (hence the CAG username), and the replacement was defective and replaced after 2 days. My 360 crapped out after a year (now 6 months into a new one) and I have a pile of recent Sony stuff (not PS3 however, subs and TVs mostly) that died after a year or less. I'm finding consumer electronics less reliable overall. Maybe they are just trying to get everyone to buy those extended warranties.

[Swoxx]

First off, i do agree with you Wombat, i mostly do prefer a linear game, if done well, with a great narrative story that you can follow and you know that you're always progressing through the game and not just running in circles, though some games do work better with a sandbox-type experience.

About the E74 i actually got this recently, it was on my once red-ringed 2006 repaired console. I wound up picking up a Arcade with 2 Wireless controllers and Arcade compilation disc and sega superstar tennis, "yey", for $190 and it's cooler, more silent and just fantastic! lets see how long its lasts manufacturing date 08-12

Great show guys

Cheers

The main reason airline fares are so high is because of taxes--over 90% of air fees is taxes
any way great show and oh yes, resident evil 5 is not racist: obviously if you make a game in Africa you are obviously gonna find black infected guys and then again if we don't put in black guy's in some game or another isn't that to discrimination. Also the black guy in gears of war who has a stupid kind of personality looks as if he is being made fun of.

[XUGrad]

I nearly pissed myself when Cheapy mentioned his "accident.'

Funny start to the show. Disgusting, but funny as hell.

[Ivanhoe]

Thanks guys.

[Gorlith]

Holy shit I was watching tv with my family when that plane crash started hitting the news. It was crazy looking, maybe they can make it Roboplane.

[Achuba Nanoia]

Hey Cheapy and Wombat, great show as usual! Not much room for controversy today huh ?

Anyway, I'm with Cheapy, I'd very much like to one day be able to afford having a really nice trip in an airplane, but the price is just crazy.

One more thing about Tuna Pizza: it's actually quite popular here in São Paulo where I live, even though I don't like it myself. Maybe it's because we have a lot of japanese people here, that would explain it.

About E74 problems... I don't know, but lately I've had my Xbox freeze a couple of times this week, and it seems to be happening every few weeks. I've read the joystiq article, and from what they say it doesn't seem to be the same problem. I do worry about it because: A- it's a brand new Jasper chip, it shouldn't have any problems on it and B- since I've imported it, I don't think I'll be able to fix it with Microsoft, not for cheap anyway.

Keep up the good work guys, I hope Wombat have a nice trip.

Somebody likes mixing Jay-Z! I really like the opening songs from the past few weeks. Is there a place we can get them?
EDIT: I should check the show notes before I post, huh? D'OH! Um...Great show!

I'm too lazy to read.

[Imallvol7]

I am so impressed with your ability to stay calm in the face of comments on show notes. I would have flipped a sh*t at jkanownik and his response to you calling out RE5 and how its deconstructive. His comments made me want to hit someone.

My room mate beat that game in two sittings. Does that really justify 60$? JKANOWNIK must be half retarted if it took him 15-30 hours to beat the game. And playing the single player over and over again doesn't f'ing count. The same thing happens every damn time. It's not real compelling stuff.

jkanownik "I PM'd you the company I work for and named the names of the games. Given that my username is actually my real name I'd rather not mention it publicly. The bottom line is that you've lost a voice within the industry because of the negative tone lately. In the past if you had a gripe about something my company (or all game companies) did I would look further into the details of it and if there was something I could do about it I would. I'm not saying I could change anything or that I'm anyone special, but you should realize that people do listen to what you have to say and take that seriously if you want your voice heard (or not, it's your choice)."

I think he is pretty much saying if I don't like what you have to say about my company true or not, we are going to ignore you. You "lost your voice" for telling the truth and expressing your opinion. Kinda like Kane and Lynch all over again. This guys whole arguement and explanation sounds sketchy as well.
