    CAGcast #741: CAGcast 2!

    Thanks for talking about Overwatch 2 and how baffling it was to throw it away! As someone who purchased it day 1 and played a LOT at the start, maybe my experience matched a lot of others out there... 1. Got in quick, played with friends 2. Blizzard focused on e-Sports, game got too...

    CAGcast #641: But Can You Point to It?

    Thank you all for doing the LIVE CagCast on Twitch. Now that I am working a lot more from home, I can't listen to you in the car, but I can watch the podcast live after the kids have gone to bed. ps - Wombat's line "That's why I got a pool" joke made me laugh out loud and Cheapy missing or...

    CAGcast #634: How Wombat Really Got His Name

    Oh man, I laughed a little too loud at "pink ranger, yellow ranger". Thanks for the great podcast, as always!

    CAGcast #632: TestStop

    Sonic Sequel should be a crossover with Space Channel 5. ULALA! ps - Wombat was right about the GameStop idea!

    CAGcast #627: Work From Home

    First off, Wombat was spot on with the movie analysis! Secondly, Frozen 2's music gets a lot better after you hear it for a while (though not as good as the original). Lastly, thought about doing more than one podcast a week during these pandemic-times? I am very grateful for the weekly...

    CAGcast #619: Battle of the Passes

    Cheapy, Wombat is right- give DC's Harley Quinn cartoon a chance. The first episode is an outlier in terms of its shock factor. Episodes 2 and 4 are very fast, funny, and amazingly written. Poison Ivy as a modern-day-"Daria" has some of the best lines. Although the season has been uneven so far...

    CAGcast #614: Thanksgiving “Special”

    I agree with Cheapy that Call of Duty developers look at the stats and see that less hardcore players will drop off if the online activity is imbalanced. I'm not the worst player, but getting my clock cleaned in last 2017's Call of Duty was enough to get me to stop buying them every year.

    CAGcast #612: Heat!

    I am with Wombat on telling people about the podcast. Hell, if I had done over 600 episodes of a successful ANYTHING I would be telling everybody. I can understand Cheapy only wanting to talk about it to gamers if (pretty much) asked, but that’s his choice. Besides, I’m sure Wombat is not...

    CAGcast #601: A Whale of a Problem

    I second what DanielNeilson said above. If you don't want to watch the whole thing and get the (snarky) highlights, Jim Sterling does a great job summing up the problem with gambling mechanics in video games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7S-DGTBZU14 Worth a watch!

    CAGcast #599: It’s a Frosty, Not a Turd

    Quick (multiple) takes on the podcast: The Boys: How about a "spoiler-cast talk" at the end of the show when you get through all 8 episodes? Inspector Gadget: Agree with Wombat 100%. As a kid, I was always bothered at how BAD Inspector Gadget was at life. He has ALL of the gadgets (including...

    CAGcast #583: Reverse Sponsors

    Going back to Ship's idea of progression in Battle Royale games: why not offer you to keep a portion of your loot to the next game based on how long you lasted. Something like this: 100-80th place: keep all your loot you found until next game 79-50th place: keep 50% of what you found until...

    CAGcast #578: Fort Nacht

    Very funny episode even without the SWITCH GAME OR NOT or your DRUNK PODCAST parts. The chemistry between you three make make this podcast go great. Thanks! On a more somber note, is it tone deaf for a video game company to talk about "record profits" and then start employee layoffs or is this...

    CAGcast #576: I Like Toxic Waste

    Regarding the $70 game "AAA" gaming pricing debate, Cheapy has valid points. However, I am more annoyed by phone games that are filled with ads when I play. I would gladly pay a few bucks or more to turn that crap off.

    CAGcast #570: Brownout

    One of the funniest episodes yet! Guess the Switch game and “drunk CAG” are fantastic. Shipwreck laughing at himself for his dookie-fainting spell was great. Wombat seeing the Zelda fan on the train made me think of this meme: Wombat sees passionate Zelda fan on train. Wombat’s brain: Don’t...

    Arcade1Up - Deluxe Edition 12-in-1 Arcade Cabinet $399.99 at Best Buy

    Some speculation about Konami games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKGPXN-3w-8 Confirms nothing and mostly speculative... Some of the bar-top games are leaked here. Even Shipwreck (from the CAGcast) talked about Q-Bert in a tweet a while ago.

    Arcade1Up - Deluxe Edition 12-in-1 Arcade Cabinet $399.99 at Best Buy

    These machines will be the perfect price point for the guy who wants a game in his basement and doesn't wanna hunt down a used one on Craigslist. Moreover, those older games with the CRTs can have monitor issues. Purists will poo-poo this, but this COULD be the gateway drug for those who want to...

    Game List: Asteroids Asteroids Deluxe Centipede Crystal Castles Gravitar Liberator Lunar Lander Major Havoc Missile Command Millipede Quantum Tempest Seems like they combined the 2 different Atari cabs offered by Arcade1up and then added some new games. Gravitar and Quantum are very...

    CAGcast #553: Presented In Dolby Vision

    $30 for Tempest 4000? Wow. Crappy price point. I'll play some TxK on my Vita instead. Sheesh. Arcade1Up thoughts:  1. Hope they did their research on how many units they should ship. Ship's comment "wait until they go on clearance" is a strong warning. 2. The Final Fight cab will probably be...

    CAGcast #543: Boy, Download This Show!

    Thanks for reading the NPD top 10! Nice to hear the brief commentary. GTA5, right?!? Talk about a long tail on that game... Props to Cheapy for the great music intro tracks. Seems like you would enjoy some tracks from "Above and Beyond." I highly recommend their tracks "Naked", "Another...

    CAGcast #542: Now ApplePlay Compatible!

    Wombat, keep slinging the rapid-fire joke and reference tornado like usual. For every joke Cheapy and Shipwreck misses, people like me pick them up and enjoy them. Case in point: when you said "Gabo" is coming when you riffed on "LABO" from Nintendo. Those old Simpsons episodes were fantastic...
