Yay. News on CAG iPhone app!

[nzbeans]

Second.

[TheJerseyKush]

YEAHHHH another delicious podcast

[aznboovie]

w000t iphone apps

[controlcommerce]

Woot.

[prence]

I don't know why but I thought Red Dead Redemption had co-op during the full game. Oh well.

Anyway.. good stuff thus far.

[Bluntsly]

Glad I checked here before starting my work, the CAGcast is the one shining light during a dreary monotonous graveyard shift.

[CaptainJoel]

YAY! I've been dying to listen to a new CAGcast!

[chakan]

um...guys, if you followed Cheapy's twitter feed, you'd know that its not good news about the iphone app.

[CRH7386]

I'm glad I get to listen to the CAGcast while studying for finals :-) I'm also glad Shipwreck is back. Justin was a good edition for maybe once in a while but Shipwreck is the man!

[sainrub]

Haha,

I had my speakers just a lil to loud for the opening.

[Interfeci]

The dude that voices Kratos is T.C. Carson. He was in Living Single.

Hrm, apparently he voices Mace Windu in the clone wars cartoon and some games.

[Sgt Barone]

yes! a week without a CAGcast is like a week without taking a shit, it sucks.

[crunchewy]

For those not listening, a summary of the iPhone app issues?

[WankerJist]

Yes! Have been looking forward to this after a long sabbatical!

[LiK]

worst opening ever! lulz

btw, sucks to hear about the CAG app status. no Amazon = suckitude x1000000

[4nik8tor]

thought this show sucked. until the John Snow reference. best show ever!

[Zimmy]

Sorry to hear about the app.
That Amazon policy basically killed my current favorite shopping app, Red Laser.
When you scan a UPC, it doesn't include any Amazon data which makes it useless.

One suggestion, please include mobile forum browsing in the app.

It's so depressing to me that the restaurant Shipwreck ended up at was the Keg... a shitty steakhouse chain.

Especially considering you were in Vancouver, an amazing foody city. I was just there on vacation 3 weeks ago, and it's difficult to even find a place to eat at as mediocre as the Keg. :(

Good show ya Cheap Bastards. Ok, I've heard Wombat tout his guitar playing skills too many times now. I have to hear Eddie Van Wombat shred his axe. Maybe a live performance on the next show?

Not a bad idea, I'd love to hear Wombat play a lil.

[4nik8tor]

he's a bassist..

[Wombat]

Not a bad idea, I'd love to hear Wombat play a lil.

If I could get me from 1998-99 on the show I would, but I am not nearly as good as I used to be.

[Walt Jay]

Wow. Key to riling up Wombat: Ask his advice and insight on Spider-Man

[rogueweapon]

I love how Wombat ignores my original post. Well I'm calling you out Hoss. 17 years, it's like riding a bike plus you got a week to practice. Do it for the fans.

[smoger]

seth wasnt *that* bad in sf4... it seems like theres one move with each character that he's extremely poorly programmed against.. all you have to do is figure out what that move is and exploit the crap about it.. (and be reallly careful about when you strike)

..and he is definitely easier in Super.

Even better:
A Performance for CAGCast 200!
Anyway, great show as always!

[banodyne]

Cheapy, you said you had someone inside Amazon fighting for you. Is there anywhere CAG readers could write to to let Amazon know this is how their customers want to buy products from them?
