CAGcast #198: Techtonic Farts

[quote name='bsachtjen']What i dont understand is why do people complain so much about the show? By now most people know how/what these guys talk about so why do people complain? If you dont like the show thats fine, dont listen to it. There is no reason to make personal attacks at the hosts of the show that is entertaining YOU! Let them talk about what they are going to talk about and stop being douches.


thanks,

Exactly. People need to lighten up. I'm so sick of listening to people bitch about either being pc or complaining about what others do. If you don't like it do it yourself. I would like to see half the whiners produce something like this and see how it feels when a bunch of jackasses put you down for something your giving them for free. :roll: Are you lacking something in your lives that it makes you feel good to put someone's hard work down? Or are you just as ignorant as you assume someone else is.
 
Wow, people get so worked up.

I download every week simply because I like to hear the irreverent banter of the hosts, mixed in with some casual game discussion. Like in real-life, nobody is ever 100% statistically correct, nor does nobody ever say something which might come off offensive to certain people (but like water off a duck's back to everybody else.) I just wish CheapyD told more stories about his adventures in Japan, whether it be about the Pizza Guy or leaving money in the ATM or what's going on with Tai, I always find them fun to listen to and as Cheapy is such a frank guy, the no holds barred approach he takes to detailing things most people wouldn't even mention (a la porn and poop) is something unique you can't find anywhere else. Although Wombat does sometimes seem to be a bit of an attention seeker trying to divert conversations he can't participate in, his repertoire with Cheapy is what makes the CAGcast what is it and it would be pretty flat if it was just Ship and Cheapy, I think. Also, it would be nice to hear how Sabrina is getting along. It seems everyone here hates it when they talk about stuff unrelated to games, but I would welcome something fun like a Kid's Corner where they talk about the fun stuff their kids have done that week.

Keep up the good work and the podcast, it is much anticipated and appreciated each week.
 
I listen to this podcast because "I GET IT" I mean they are just a few guys bullshitting about games and life like we all do. I mean really if you just started listening I could understand, but seriously, you cannot tell that Wombat is being silly and sarcastic in just about everything? I appreciate a guy who says crazy things knowing fully that it will piss people off enough to come to a forum and bitch at him. The guy is a genius.

I am sure that I am not the only one who even listens and adds my 2 cents in after something only realizing I am not in the room lol.

This is a wonderful show and of all the pod casts i listen too, this is ALWAYS #1 on my consumption list when it shows up on my I-touch. All 3 guys know who and what they are and whether I agree 100% or not with everything they say, I love the honesty.
 
Regarding the discussion on the potential name for a hypothetical Baby Boatcrash, I just assumed the Ships would go with Cheapy for a boy and Wombat for a girl. ;)
 
Just started listening to the show. And it's awesome! I've been listening to the earlier shows before I get to the current ones while at work, but the Cagcast really helps the time fly at work. Keep up the amazing work and I'm very excited to hear more.
 
[quote name='JadedJedi']I think EA should just release one sports game, per sport, per console generation and have the new rosters be dlc at a price of $45. People pay $60 bucks every year for just that, but on a disc. This would be a savings for EA because they won't have to pay for manufacturing and shipping, and the player will save $15.[/QUOTE]
The problem with that plan is that you instantly cut off everybody that's not connected to XBL or PSN after the first year, which would see those sales drop greatly for the second year and that would go down each year after that. Considering that online penetration is maybe 50% at best, you lose out on a lot of potential sales by not putting out a physical product each year.

I 100% agree with everything you said.

I love the CAGcast, I look forward to it weekly and have been listening since the start. The main reason I look forward to the CAGcast each week is the fact that Cheapy, Wombat, and Shipwreck talk about games, geek culture, and life; all very casually. It's like listening to your buddies talk about video games and joke around.

I'd done a short lived podcast in the past when I worked with Kombo.com and myself and the guy who worked on it with me just didn't have the chemistry CAGcast has. The project never saw past a handful of episodes.

Keep up the great work guys and haters stop CAGcast bashing dammit!
 
ok, I am going to have to completely disagree with you guys on the ea online pass. I play about 0 ea sports games, but am afraid that if this succeeds it will transfer to other games, then they will start charging 70 dollars a game. This is nothing but a money grab as the used gamers cost them no more than the original buyers did. Also I am sure alot of people trade in used games buy other ea games, so they do in fact make money off the used games market, they just feel like they don't make enough.

This is the only industry that feel like people should not be able to purchase used, can you imagine if ford charged you 1,000 dollars to use the ac and stereo on your 5,000 dollar used car?

So perhaps they update the core game each year(replacing the old), but offer the DLC as an option to those who already purchased it.
