Short answer: Distributed networks are not easy. It's easy for a lot of companies to promise cloud capabilities. In reality, having a lot of devices piggy-back off of a server farm is much easier said than done.

I always enjoy the marketing discussions on the CAGcast; it's refreshing to know that Wombat does make contributions outside of BS Quarterly. ;) "I always assume the public will find out." - CheapyD I guess that explains why I know so much about Cheapy's bathroom struggles and that he enjoyed...

I'm a little bit disappointed that there's not already a HippoD novelty account on Twitter.

Thanks for reading my comment on air this time. I got a big kick out of that. I found Wombat particularly funny this week and was glad to hear him clearly again.  Dollar Shave Club sponsors some podcasts, if Wombat likes them you should consider reaching out to them for some on-air ads. I will...

I just want to point out that anyone bashing CheapyD for his tastes in consoles needs to realize that he is now worse at using the bathroom than his six year old son, as evidenced by this week's bathroom accident.

A few thoughts 1. It's absurd to me that anyone thinks that Cheapy, Wombat, or Shipwreck are shills for anything. I don't recall Nike Fuel users ranting and raving when the show briefly turned into the unofficial Fitbit podcast. To me, it's obvious that the hosts, like many others, had a better...

Yeah, I gathered that the hosts were concerned about a Denial of Service attempt or releasing a 'virus' into the server farm. I just think it's a lot easier said than done and would like to hear John's thoughts on it as he's dealt with automated web-crawlers spamming CAG and probably some other...

I thought that Cheapy's sex-exchange analogy for Microsoft/Sony and their customers would be the most confusing moment of the show. Then I heard the hacking into the Xbox One's XBL platform discussion. Maybe Super Programmer John can give some thoughts on the security feasibility. I do...

I think Wombat just sold me on checking out Uninformed Opinions. Episode 17 away! I appreciate that you do the CAGcast because you enjoy it. I would still give some financial support to CAG if given an opportunity. I got a big kick out of the Frisky Tanooki owes CAG $500 riff.

FYI XCOM: Enemy Unkown is coming to the iPad. As far as I know, it's the first current-generation AAA title to be fully ported over to iOS.

That's a still a pretty big plot-hole to me. One of the few I've seen without a strong explanation. Another gameplay-meets-setting issue is the shield that Booker used. The Luteces gave it to him, but I didn't find any reason why it was unique to Booker. Via Twitter You did say that you...

Good point, my dismay was a matter of perspective. Avengers as a story has a much broader appeal, it worked on several levels of interest. Infinite as a story really only works for those that were compelled to dig into it. Comparing the two tales beyond that gets convoluted very quickly, but I...

Wombat, you compared the plot to a summer popcorn movie. That's a pretty negative review of the story for me. Maybe you like summer popcorn movies a lot more than me. If you're going to do the Wombat Bioshock Corner please use various renditions of "Will the Circle be Unbroken" as a theme song.

You have a problem admitting when you're wrong. It's a near weekly occurrence on the show. letsgetacid was not being harsh, he was being honest. I understand that you weren't compelled by this, but Shipwreck isn't compelled by the DC Universe. I didn't hear Shipwreck say that it's bad or...

Wombat, it's pretty clear that you did not fully grasp the everything that went down in Infinite. You didn't even catch why Elizabeth was called Anna. Your parachute argument also falls flat if you understood why DeWitt's mission was to 'get the girl to absolve your debt.' You didn't even...

I don't doubt your collecting abilities, I suspect that you were busy looking to shoot holes in the story rather than fill in the gaps with critical listening. I'll admit it's an unfair assessment on my part, it's just that you and CheapyD don't seem to get invested in the backstory of many games.

That's fair, but I would still be surprised if CheapyD and Wombat listened to any audiologs. It's a story that required a lot of focus and audiologs may not have been the best way to do that. I know i listened to most of the audiologs twice because my first listen was centered around looting/not...

I think all of the hosts missed a lot of the story. I doubt that Shipwreck, CheapyD, and Wombat collectively heard all of the audiologs. I think it's a fair criticism of Bioshock Infinite that the story wasn't clear, but it was tied together really well if you work to find all of the puzzle...

Thanks for the opportunity Cheapy and ArcSystems. I'm actually really surprised that Arc only had about 670 followers when I followed them. Seems like they should have a lot more with 11 pages of CAGs posting here.

I know Wombat pushed for more Top Analyst. I hope you guys follow through on that, it was one of my favorite segments. I for one expect that The Last of Us will easily sell 1 million copies, but that's because no one set a time-limit for it. If Wombat capped it to the 2nd quarter of 2013 I'd...
