Glad to see a show this week, thank you! Might I suggest Wombat+Shipwreck do a show while Cheapy has to watch his son on weird Japanese holidays, then send him the audio to edit/post at his leisure? They did 1 or 2 CAG Foreplay together and I thought it worked fine.
The 3 of you should really have a more in-depth discussion on (some, not all) DLC, paid avatar shirts/hats, etc, and how it's lame. The topic may sound like it's beaten to death, but some of us still don't want to just roll over and accept it. It's become the "norm" and I don't like it. Cheapy was upset about his Season Pass for good reason, but it's happening to a lot of games now. What if Chobot Robot was Day 1 paid DLC that was on the disc? It's not too far off considering what has happened lately.
As for the clip at the end of the show Cheapy added on, thanks for that reminder. That is one large reason the Wii and DS are the way they are for online & friend codes, and will be interesting how the WiiU will handle it. Nintendo wants to shield their customers, because well angry moms are scarey.
If anyone else doesn't remember, or didn't listen to the podcast episodes (back in 2009?). Microsoft actually got in contact with Wombat to work the situation out. In fact I think it was the same person who just recently got fired in their banning division if I'm remembering right, oh the irony. Or did Cheapy plan that on purpose?
