I love the show too, but it's often at its best when its not about videogames - naked pizza guy, giant bag of weed, etc. Cheapy and Wombay quite obviously had no idea what they were talking about with regard to the Gears map packs so who exactly was served by that conversation? If they couldn't...
MSOFT can only report that $426m profit for '08 because of the $0.5bn write off for the RROD fiasco. In the real world they've never made a dime from the console business.
Interesting post and clips, thanks. After watching those and the Vice documentary I conclude that North Korea would own BCE football if they entered a team.
That was a great show. I was very impressed that Cheapy's heroic weed consumption at E3 has resulted in a superhero style mutation that gave him precognitive psychic powers allowing him to do a clairvoyant review of GT5 and pronounce it inferior to Forza.
Cheapy, don't listen to the haterz. The weed talk is typical of the honesty and humour of the CAGcast and it would be a lesser experience if you start editing yourself.
Cheapy & Wombat,
I know you two like to talk about food like a pair of semi starved prisoners in Viet Cong bamboo cages. What was the restaurant in NYC you both went to for the great cheeseburgers with an egg on them? Also, any other must eat places in NYC?
I think it was the limo driver that hooked Cheapy up with the "Giant Bag of Weed". This was a great show. I LOL'ed at the story of Cheapy trying to convice the black guy he wasn't a "racist asshole" while totally baked thanks to the GBW.
I tuned in for weed stories and was bitterly disappointed.
It did sound like Cheapy had scored some benzos as he didn't seem to care about anything he'd seen. He was all 'meh' and 'feh' and 'that doesn't interest me' about just about everything.
There's no doubt that the CAGcast is a great show and that Cheapy and Wombat are big room podcasting talent but you get the impression that their hearts just aren't in it lately. The patchy schedule is one of the trademarks of a podcast that has run its natural course and is on the way out.
NO WAI! DO NOT WANT! We can get that game crap anywhere. Cheapy's talent is as a raconteur. The best and truly memorable moments in the CAGCast have been only tangentially or non game related. Remember the story about the pizza guy who got drunk and then ran out of chez Cheapy nude? That was...
