Cheapy - I think you're spot on comparing Lego to IKEA. There's a thing in psychology called the 'IKEA Effect' where, because you put effort into assembling the furniture, you value the final product more. There is an article in Psychology Today...

Thanks guys for putting out this great show! While I don't get to watch you live on Twitch (too late for this dad) but I love the new dynamic it adds to the audio. Keep up the outstanding work, you guys rock. I'm curious if you guys ever bust out your copies of Switch Game or Not, the card...

Great show guys! Shipwreck saying words Ohio style is always great. I'm shocked though that none of you seem to get what the Epic/Apple situation is really about - this is Epic trying to force an antitrust investigation into Apple. It's not about how much of a cut Apple gets, it's about the...

Wanted to come in and tell the hosts about the Brave browser which is a privacy-forward Chrome browser. The big advantage for me is the auto ad blocking and tracker blocking. It makes loading sites like Forbes fast because the junk is blocked.

Hasn't Wombat shared the origin story of his nickname before on the show? Or do he and I just share a psychic connection? Great show, as usual, though Cheapy was in a weird mood, lots of rape talk and coming down hard on Ship for being totally reasonable and responsible during the pandemic...

Haven't finished listening yet, but as a big board gamer and a big user of Kickstarter... Board games are fairly expensive to make and distribute, especially since their target retail outlets are going to be smaller 'friendly local game stores' who don't have a lot of working capital or shelf...

Like many of you I'm sure, "Switch Game or Not" has been one of my favorite segments on the show lately. It's hard to play though because we don't necessarily have the list of releases in front of us and I don't want to stop the fun that is listening to the show. So, I made a version of the game...

Really can't say no to $250 big ones.

Looks like a sexy card to add to my rig!

Infamous Second Son is a reason for me to get a PS4.  InFamous may not be my favorite series of all time, but I liked the open world elements of the game.

I would love this on PC, PC, PC, PC...

Any of those games would be a blast to download overnight onto my PS3 or Vita to then play the next day.  Heck, I'll delete stuff from my memory card to download it to my Vita.  Thanks for the opportunity!

CAGcast coming out is the highlight of my week, every week.  Shipwreck talking about his absurd remote is triggering my acquisition disorder and my wife is going to kill me.  Also - I'm in for the Metro code :)

Long time lurker/listener, first time poster. I love the show, thanks guys! Cheapy - about your iPad. My son dropped our iPad 2 and the backlight went out. If I shone a bright light on the screen, I could tell the LCD pixels were working so the iPad was functional but unuseable. I listed it...

Does anyone know if I can buy $100 in Kindle GC from Best Buy and get the $50 credit? There's nothing in the T/C that say certs are invalid, but I don't want to buy $100 in Amazon credit for no reason.
