Cheapy gets a giant gaming PC, Shipwreck is in a Ram Jam, and Wombat is worried about getting unhinged, whatever that means.

Can't wait for the CAGcast to descend upon E3 dropping them Premium audio boos!

[Maklershed]

Sweet. Can't wait to listen.

[Sway]

Thank you Gaming Moses.

[LiK]

Drive haters!

[dacool561]

I tried to warn you Shipwreck over twitter to avoid ibuypower like the plague >_<

[detectiveconan16]

Shame on you CheapyD, do you not watch Game Center CX over there? Although the LA arcade featured in the America episode was this. http://www.yelp.com/...ade-los-angeles

[Maklershed]

Drive haters!

Yeah really :/

That Drive remix song at the start of the last CAGcast has been stuck in my head the past week. So good.

[Wolfkin]

yeah buddy.. those hot fire audio boos can't wait

Back in 2007, North Koreans programmed two cell phone games, Men in Black Alien Assault, and Big Lebowski Bowling. http://www.techwirea...ustry-revealed/

Is Crisis the sequel?

[ebok007]

Yes! More length = more fun! And the podcast is longer this week too *rimshot*

I have a full tower case for my PC and it is necessary. I had a mid-tower and bought a fancy new graphics card and the thing didn't fit. So, the last PC I built, I got a big ass case so I could fit all the goodies in it.

Also, Wombats job sounds like it sucks. Where I work, they stress to not contact people when on vacation unless it is an absolute emergency. That level of emergency doesn't happen all that often around here. Whenever I go on vacation, I tell people they can contact me if they have questions or need help with something I'm an expert on, but nobody ever calls.

I thought DRIVE was great, but I can't knock you guys for not liking it. I'm not interested in convincing non-fans, but it helps to think of it as a modern day fairy tale instead of an action movie. Everyone is an archetype. The scorpion jacket is symbolic and ties into the Aesop fable referenced by Albert Brooks in the restaurant. It's a stylish movie, and that style isn't for everyone. ...Ain't movies grand?

I bought Harley Quinn's Revenge and thought it was decent. The Add-on is pretty much a linear experience that doesn't really shed any new light on the aftermath and easter eggs found in the regular game. Playing as Robin was fun, but they could of done more I think. Like I said, it was decent.

Cheapy already avoiding Sony's E3 conference trying to get tickets to hockey game during the conference? Not sure why Shipwreck didn't just get Max Payne via Red Box on PS3 since the whole game fits on one disk. After Playing Mass Effect 2 and 3 on 360, I found the games much more enjoyable to play on PS3 when I didn't have to get up to change the disk. I've been rebuilding my old PCs and getting them back up and running. I only have 2 that can handle Diablo 3, but everytime I think about playing I go back to the PS3 or 360. I almost feel that I've outgrown the PC genre which i used to love. What could probably bring me back is the device Cheapy mentioned but I don't have the free HDMI ports on my TVs. I'm also not sure why people have the need for more games on the Vita. Do you know how much content is playable on the Vita right now? There is a backload of PSP games and PS mini titles. they are working on PSN and hopefully PS1 games will be playable on the Vita by next week I'm hoping. I'm excited that Youtube will finally be usable by the end of June but I've been using a work around I saw on IGN and that works really well. If I didn't use Kinect for saying pause and play watching netflix I probably would have traded in the device by now. I'm so ho hum about the Wii U. Not really excited, but I want to see what they have. I think Sony will have the most interesting conference. I don't think Microsoft will have anything to wow us since they keep leaning on Kinect. I'm sure they will ride on Halo 4 but I worry about that game.

[mrx001]

Pictures or video of the PC.

[cheapfrag]

I think you should take Wombat to a strip club... he can blow up some steam there.

1. Redbox was out of PS3 version of Max Payne 3.
2. I played the PSP games I wanted to play on the PSP and the vast majority of PS Minis I own don't work on Vita. I'd love more downloadable games like About A Blob, MotorStorm RC, or Pinball Arcade.

Wombat:

If you want Cheapy to stop messing with you about E3 just pay for everything yourself. Clearly he's got an issue with things being on his "dime". Just be yourself and have a good time. Don't worry about being "low key", whatever the f*ck that's suppose to mean. Aren't you all a little too old to be concerned about your "image"?

Cheapy:

You're a nerdy gamer, embrace it. Stop trying to act like an internet pimp. :P

Shipwreck:

Help those two grow up.

[usickenme]

I would comment but apparently I'm not as important as Wombat. Seriously dude, get over yourself. Everyone has shit to do and, as far I know, aren't you selling ads on a website? It's not like you're curing cancer. You aren't the only one with a job, kids, bills, etc.

[lokizz]

if you like depressing shit cheapy theres a movie on netflix about host clubs in japan and how you girls get drawn into them and get so hooked on the guys there they end up in the adult film industry or prostituting to support their host cub addictions. saddest part of it is they think if they go enough the guys will really love them and many of the suggest to these chicks to sell their bodies so they can keep coming.

really now.. shivering isle was flat? me sideways... it was fucking brilliant..

[banodyne]

Laughing at Cheapy comparing updating drivers on his PC versus his Mac when starting them up for the first time. Yeah, of course, a system you put together yourself is going to have to spend a lot of time updating and looking for the latest drivers. Just like your Mac, if you bought a pre-built system from a major PC vendor the latest drivers would come pre-installed.

[bickle]

I bought Harley Quinn's Revenge and thought it was decent.

How long does it take to complete?

[usickenme]

if you bought a pre-built system from a major PC vendor the latest drivers would come pre-installed.

and that would last for 3 months if you are lucky.

[4thHorseman]

Wow, has it really been only a year since Elliott was born? Feels like it's been so much longer than that....

Also, completely agree with Batman (89) and it's not holdin up. Not that it's a bad film by any means as I'll still watch it if it's on and like it, but my god, people have that film in much higher regard than it deserves.

[satch fuji]

I would've thought that Cheapy's E3 wishlist was:

1. "Smoke Weed Every Day." Holographic Nate Dogg note included.
2. Receive handjob from Korean sex slave featured in 45 minute documentary about Korean sex slaves.

I though the whole sex at a "message parlor" was an urban legend from a bygone era, until I listened to Ari Schaffer's and Neal Brennen's podcasts where they talked about it. If they're forced do it, that's horrible.

Cheapy already avoiding Sony's E3 conference trying to get tickets to hockey game during the conference?

Not avoiding it, I wasn't invited.

[S0LIDARITY]

That's gotta be the lowest content on actual gaming for the CAGcast in a long time. I still liked it though.

Unless there's some huge surprise announcement, I expect video of Shipwreck, Wombat, and CheapyD playing NBA Baller Beats to be my favorite thing to come out of E3.

Cheapy, is the 'garbage truck' associated with Nick Tahou's? I don't think it matters, as any garbage plate basically produces a plate of shame, I'm just curious.
