Thanks for the show, guys. Can't wait to listen. Sadly, it can't be right now. Gotta get up in 7 hours for court. ): (don't ask)
 
Damn, there is a problem with the link. I was wondering why the Zune Marketplace didn't have the new one up yet.... Oh well, I guess I will have to wait until tomorrow night...
 
[quote name='super_nerd']You guys can change the link yourselves to get the file; it's just a matter of changing the 191 to a 192. That worked for me and I'm listening to it right now.[/QUOTE]

No. I refuse. That's too much work!
 
Please fix the link, it's not a hard self fix, for most of us CAGS, but it is kind of annoying, & will confuse some lesser experienced CAGS, & people who just pass by the site, only for the podcast.
 
I just started listening to the stream, and wow, thanks guys. That was a nice surprise, and yeah, my nickname's a mess. Just omit the x's (even the middle one) and pronounce it like the wrestler's name (yeah, dumb nickname).

I'll post something about the show, and some thoughts on Final Fantasy XIII, when I'm done listening to the show, unless I fall asleep during that (it's 4:08am over here).
 
Great pod-cast as usual :)

I think that the possible xbox 360 slim will have an internal hard drive but will still have a port where you can hook up your old hard drive for data transfer or possibly just come bundled with a USB transfer cable.

I think you guys just hate good games. Bioshock 2 was fantastic. I liked it even better than the first one.

Though I do agree that motion controls suck. So you're right about that!
 
Cheapy, to counter your point about the MW2 maps, COD4 had one map pack for $10, which had 4 maps, or $2.50 a map.

And to counter Wombat, when was the last time a game on XBL or PSN has had a map pack permanently drop in price?
 
[quote name='thorbahn3']Best part of the show is when Cheapy couldn't say Khondor correctly, yet I knew he was speaking of him.[/QUOTE]

I laughed, Con-da-whore.
 
The best thing about the CAGcast is its consistency - I'm just glad you guys are doing a show regularly! Seriously, you guys should quit your jobs and families to make sure you do a show a week. The worst CAGcast is still the best podcast (And this show was a good one).

Keep up the good work.
 
thanks boatcrash for your thoughts on metro 2033. I was actually thinking about picking the game up but I think i'm gonna hold off on it and save some money.
Also, in regards to FFXIII, I had the same thoughts on the battle system for the first many hours of the game. Considering you continue to get battle tutorials and features added to the battle system 20+ hours in, the battle system definitely gets better. It's still a pretty radical departure from the more classic battle systems but it is an interesting blend of turn based and real time fighting.
 
Good show. I like the balance "The Trifecta" has reached with banter and timing; as opposed to earlier 3-way cagcasts which were the audio equivalent of Brittan's "The Office" with awkward pauses and each participant tripping over the others words consistantly.
 
I just got a Pioneer 1019AH, which is basically a little more expensive 919 with another HDMI port, digital/analog upconversion, some other junk maybe. I was thinking of getting the 919 when the 1019 dropped to $400 on buy.com (the 919's usual price) so I just got it.

Anyway, it seems pretty awesome. It's better than my older Pioneer. The speakers I have on it are still my same old RCA speakers from a HTIB from years ago and a Sony 8" subwoofer. Sounds good to me. I like how I can plug in the 360, PS3, and Wii and route everything up to my TV with a single HDMI cable, but pretty much every new HDMI receiver does that.

I'm no A/V expert, but I'd recommend the 1019 or 919.
 
Good show guys. Next up on the spoiler filled game discussion should be Bioshock 2. Just finished up Mass Effect 2 and enjoyed hearing you guys talk about it in CAGcast 190. Looking forward to more game wrap up discussion. Cheers.
 
Whwn Wombat said he was below the 200lb mark, I about crapped my pants, and then realized how much of a fat slob I have become in the last year. Thanks Cagcast! Haha.
All kidding aside, congrats on the accomplishment Wombat and thanks to all of you for giving me another enjoyable show.
 
The CAGcast kept me awake throughout my Economics class this morning. So thank you fellas. Now to find out what the hell the professor talked about.
 
Shipwreck, 45 minutes is nowhere near enough time to get a feel for the battle system in FFXIII. They introduce things so slowly (yes, this is a problem with the game) that it takes about 3 hours for you to actually get a sense for what it's like. Once you start utilizing multiple paradigms it becomes pretty fun.

Also, GoW3 needs more praise. I think Cheapy will like it a lot since he a sucker for crazy action (I mean how many other people would gush over Stranglehold :lol:) There are so many jaw-dropping parts in that game. It's really remarkable.
 
Great show as always, I would be more worried about Godzilla attacking Tokyo tower than the radio waves giving me cancer.
 
Great show, fellas.

For all of your complaining about Natal and Move, I think it's incredibly likely that you'll buy the add-ons anyway. We know you won't be able to resist!
 
Great show as usual guys. It helps me get through the work day and gets me pumped for the end of the day so I can play some games. More Shipwreck is awesome. Congrats on losing the weight Wombat. I am also debating on getting Dragon Age. I figure I would like it plus it has Claudia Black as a voice actor.
 
[quote name='hufferstl']Damn, there is a problem with the link. I was wondering why the Zune Marketplace didn't have the new one up yet.... Oh well, I guess I will have to wait until tomorrow night...[/QUOTE]It's working. It downloaded first thing this morning for me.
 
Wombat tells everyone not to pirate, but then comments how he uses other people's PSN account to play games. Wombat is playing games he didn't pay for and is technically not authorized to play. fucking hypocrite. :wall:

Sweet a new CAGcast! The house is getting fumed today, so hopefully this makes the two hours I have to spend in the outside world bearable.
 
Thanks for the great show week after week. Work wouldn't be the same without you guys. Cheapy, thanks for all contests and give-aways you've been offering lately!

Wombat is playing games he didn't pay for and it technically not authorized to play. fucking hypocrite. :wall:[/QUOTE]I kind of feel the same way about Chris Paladino, formerly of the Gamerscore blog. He publicly tweets about pirated content. (Last summer, tweeting about watching 'The Hurt Locker' while waiting at the airport.) Now he co-published an iPhone game. Does he have a right to be mad if people pirate his game?
 
Hey CheapyD,Wombat, and Shipwreck good show. Wombat I look forward to watching kick ass now I thought it was going to be a dumb movie like that hero comedy one (it sucks so much I dont remeber its names) well anyways I think the way these motion cameras might work out with would be adult games (Wombat insert horn noises here) and basicly be porn sims. I can also think maybe card games if they get the idea that was the eye of judgement game to work with poker or other card games maybe but we must wait and see, I admit I enjoy and play my eye toy play I,II and III on my ps3 at least once a week and I think camera games can work but motion+camera games ??? Awesome show
