I've been listening to this show so goddamn long I didn't even realize it had become a dad-bod podcast, or that I've gone from college to dad-bod while listening to it. Can you guys please bring back the old segment intros? And more game deals. CheapAssGamer podcast needs more cheap ass games...

Question for the next show: I went back and listened to a bunch of the first shows, and I have to say that the show has come a long way from the first few 15 min what-the-hell-are-we-doing bits. Now, you have name recognition in the industry. You have the running joke that you're not a "real"...

To follow-up, in case any one was interested, I sent an e-mail to customer service, and not long after, got a call from the branch I pre-ordered with, and they gave me a code! Not sure if my e-mail was the direct cause, but I'd like to think it was. Also, in case of interest, here's the message...

Hey Cheapy, Wombat, Ship, A year or two ago, I talked here about not getting promised codes on pre-orders, and haven't pre-ordered anything since until Fable 3. Well, got my sword and tattoo code, but even on launch day, they didn't have the Create a Villager code for me. Considering the Fable...

I recently came across an article about a sub-culture of Japanese "2-D lovers" who apparently develop relationships with fictional anime characters. I've never heard of anything like this. Have you seen any or know a 2-D lover, Cheapy? I'd like to hear both your takes on this ...interesting...

Damn. I got really excited about this for a minute. I spent the last few months looking at overpriced, 800-1,000 dollar hardware compatible PS3's before resentfully settling on a non-compatible PS3 and switching between an HDMI setup and a composite setup to switch games. More work than I'd...

What's with all the hate on the rock music games? Every time I read an opinion about them on gaming sites, it's music-game-lover non-musicians against music-game-hater musicians. I love the games, and I've been a musician for over a decade. I understand the difference between the games and...

Hey Cheapy, I started playing a lot more Fable II myself. I just have one problem that's been bothering me and I'm wondering if you, Wombat, or Shipwreck have/had this problem: the controls feel a little unresponsive. In the first Fable, if you moved the stick in a direction, you instantly...

Assuming by your question you don't know that there are different definitions of "hardcore gamer" by different people, the obvious answer would be that Cheapy and Wombats' definition of "hardcore gamer" is something along the lines of "one whose leisure time is spent mostly immersed in video...

Thanks for answering my question on the show, guys. It was annoying not getting what I paid for on pre-orders. Just FYI, I pre-ordered Rock Band 2 at a brick-and-mortar Best Buy, and Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts I pre-ordered online for in-store pickup at Gamestop. I ran a search on my e-mails...

Cheapy! Wombat! Somebody please tell me what happened to the "Video Game Pre-order?" This season I've only pre-ordered two games: Rock Band 2 (because I really wanted it day one and thought it would sell out) and Banjo-Kazooie Nuts 'N Bolts (because I wanted a free code for the original...

That's a good one. My current reads: Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov Instant Rapport by Michael Brooks

Yeah, I didn't understand the stars thing either. I still don't know where they are, but I've read that apparently eight stars are hidden randomly throughout the levels. I've played through the game twice now without finding any. There's an alternate ending if you find them all. Anyone have any...

I paid $15, as did many others. I thought it was worth it. I guess whether it's worth $15 or not depends on how much expendable cash you've got. Not a lot? Stick to $15 to $20 retail gems that are priced as such because they've been out a while, are used, or on sale. Got a little more? Go...

I finished the game a few days ago. I just wanted to mention that my brain hurt from feeling so smart for finishing without aid. I'm not saying I'm a bright star or sharp tool, but kudos to the game for making me feel like a friggin genius.

Mayhem Fest. Saw Slipknot for the first time live ever. The singer is looking a bit more...emo than he used to. Still, I was blown away.

And because of that accent. It's sexy and makes some of us Midwesterners feel more at home listening to the CAGCast (I live in Chic-ah-go, not Chic-aw-go). Not that Cheapy and Wombat aren't sexy or make listeners feel at home, but something about the east coast accent just seems....foreign...

I edited my first post to give credit to Tenacious D. The audio is the first 30 seconds or so of their self-titled album. It's a two-piece band comprised of silver-fingered Kyle Gass and the golden-voiced Jack Black. I've been a fan of JB and KG since the release of that album. Good stuff. Good...

It's secret because I'm not telling you exactly what I'm doing. I'm not telling you what I'm doing because I'm really not sure yet. Although, I'm thinking maybe a short such as what I've done here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3gcTIfJQJo only with CAGCast audio or something. Either way...

I've been talking to a friend of mine about recording a podcast. We haven't made many decisions, such as whether it's serious or for fun, regular or whenever, but maybe you can help us with one decision: whether it's best to record in person, over Skype, or some third thing. I argued that over...
