Requires a comment about the show and it's a random drawing btw.
 
I know now. Still waiting for my Foosball code anyways. I thought I won but oh well.
good show, but I wish wombat was more annoyed about stuff this week.

I don't want a code, but I liked the chilled out introspective Wombat more than the devil's advocate Wombat. It felt like he was being contrary with Cheapy just for fun for months.
 
Shipwreck, you should do a cloud sync with the PS3 version of Sound Shapes and you will immediately have your second platinum.

When I mentioned Rock Band Blitz as a better choice for summer of arcade and Wombat said it wasn't ready, it was reported that Rock Band Blitz passed certification on June 30th...over 2 weeks before Hybrid passed certification. I don't know if that is definitely true, but that's why I included it.

Also, I would like free Hybrid...I guess.
 
Congrats on your first platinum trophy, Ship! I'm downloading Sound Shapes right now, and I'm holding you responsible for my enjoyment.

Why doesn't Sony regulate trophies? I didn't think a psn game, especially one as short as Sound Shapes would be platinum eligible. There are retail games without platinum.

If that's a critical enough comment, I would like to have a Hybrid code. I sure don't won't to pay for it.
 
Cheapy,

Not to argue over semantics, but Guam is actually the closest U.S. territory to Japan. I lived there not too long ago, and there were TONS of Japanese tourists who came to vacation. It's definitely not as big as Hawaii, but the climate is very similar and the beaches are amazingly beautiful. It also has the best strip clubs I've ever been to.

Have you guys ever thought of vacationing there?

I have bad news and I have good news. The bad news first: I didn't select your answer as a winning Foosball answer as you didn't pick a specific platform and instead listed both. The good news: The code you would have won didn't end up working for the person who did win it anyway.
 
I bought Sound Shapes and still haven't played it for either console. But the praise it keeps getting is pretty overwhelming. I'll check it out this weekend.

btw, I would like Hybrid. Random drawing ftw. :)
 
I love this show! You guys rock!!!...I would like the code for hybrid please!

P.S. I was being serious, I LOVE this show...not LIKE...LOVE.
 
You can avoid a lot of frustration in SSX just by not bothering with the levels that are filled with death pits. The game is huge so there is still tons to see and do, even if you restrict yourself to the 70% of the levels that aren't filled with annoying crevasses.

I got the platinum trophy, but in Explore mode there are several levels I only played once or twice.
 
Cheapy, I was born and raised in Tokyo and my Japanese mom used to warn me not stare at the crows or they will peck your eyes out. Must be a Japanese woman thing...
 
I'm enjoying the podcast... right now! So far so good. 20 minutes in and I don't completely disagree with some nonsense! Just playing, I always agree with you guys.

Also can I win the Hybrid code? ;)
 
If you guys want to get into DayZ before the standalone (who knows when it will be out) they made it really easy, its not like installing a normal mod. They have a custom launcher just for the mod and it can be steam integrated.

I down for a Hybrid code too, thanks for the contest.

I think you should just drop the show feedback section. Seems like the last four or five episodes open with Cheapy having to justify being himself to fanboys. As he points out this week: Haters gonna hate. So lets stop giving them the time of day. If they are truly that upset about something said on the show, then they probably won’t listen to the next episode anyway. That leaves the rest of us, who don’t care, to listen to a drawn out and unnecessary justification. Why should we get punished? Either drop the feedback, or at least stop responding to these incessant whiners.

Also: Sign me up for some Hybrid action.
 
Slender is available for Mac!

I think a LOT of people stopped playing Diablo 3. It becomes too dependent on the auction house when you have to improve your gear. Almost everyone that still plays is just milking the AH. It's most fun at Nightmare difficulty but it sounds like you guys haven't even made it that far. =P I can see it on console but Blizzard makes so much profit with the AH that they don't have to. I don't see people coming back to it until an expansion or some type of overhaul. Even PvP can't save it (already expecting it to be unbalanced).
 
You'd figure bickle would get first dibs on any prizes seeing as how they do the essentially** thank-less job of making shows notes for every CAGcast


**yes I realize they have been thanked a few times prior

I don't recall caring about the requirements.

alright then. Thanks for the heads up.
 
Judging by you guys practically ignoring Hybrid (and what little you did talk about just had a meh reaction) it seems that there is little praise for this Summer of Arcade. I don't agree that the Microsoft exclusivity is the problem -- just look at the promotion they ran about a month earlier. All Microsoft exclusives, including Trails Evolution & Minecraft -- both would have been GREAT games for the Summer of Arcade!

Either way, next week I'd like for you to expand on why you think Summer of Arcade is failing. You hinted that it could be exclusivity, but I think its more than that. I think it is Microsoft being arrogant & thinking they can throw anything in the promotion & it will sell gangbusters!

Either way, throw me in the Hybrid random drawing! I enjoyed the demo & beta.
 
MGS4 (an old game as it's put) is still valid to get trophies because it's a clear Win-Win for the Playstation community. It's a benefit to those of us that do care about gamerscore/trophy level or people that just are looking for a reason to play one of the best games of all time, and even to those like Shipwreck who (god forbid) haven't touched MGS4.
 
Great show guys. Liked the decription of the right winger protestors by your ouse Cheapy. Wierd that there hasn't been a Hybrid review yet on any of the major sites yet.

Not crazy, they sent out review codes the day before launch, then the game was pulled. Many reviewers are probably playing it for the first time today.

It'd probably be stranger if there were any. Codes didn't go out until the night before release and server issues took the game down on release day. There hasn't been enough time to give the game a fair shake and write a review.
 
Thanks for using my question on Cheapy's obscure highbrow snobby movie pick of the week. I have no idea how I missed that I wrote pick of the pick instead though.

I would also be interested in the Hybrid code. thanks
 
Love the show as always and would love the code.

Cheapy, when you are on vacation take a break from the Cagcast. As much as I love the weekly show, you need to enjoy the time with your family. If Shipwreck and Wombat want to do a show that would be great.

Have fun in Canada and America!!
 
Weird. I was replying to Shipwreck's post in the last thread and it tells me that it needed to be approved by a moderator. What's up with that?
 
I think requiring exclusivity and timed exclusivity is not the only reason why the Summer of Arcade is lacking this year. I think it's also possible they are stretching themselves thin with all the additional arcade promotions they do now as opposed to when they only used to do just the Summer of Arcade.

That being said...I'd take a free copy of Hybrid.
 
I'm pretty sure it's pronounced "day-zee", but if they're going to be cheeky and not have a space in between, then I'm going to be an ass and pronounce it like the word "days". The same way I don't pronounce BlazBlue "blaze-blue".

And I am also interested in the Hybrid code.
 
Great show this week! Although a little short, but I guess there wasn't much news and stuff to talk about. Loved Wombats secret youth as a rifleman haha.

Would love a chance at Hybrid as well!
 
I think it'd be really cool if Wombat could find some old footage of him at rifle-competitions. Can CheapyD give an update on Japan's recovery from last year's tsunami? I remember last summer around this time the power grid was strained and he was struggling to find A/C in Tokyo. I'd also like to hear a bit about Shipwreck's Caddy next show.

Great work as usual, please consider me for a Hybrid code.
 
Cheapy, it might just be my ears or my headphones since no one else has mentioned this, but the audio sounded really flat to me on this recording. It was mostly you, not so much Shipwreck or Wombat. Just thought I'd mention it since you switched to the Macbook Air and might have changed something. This is usually one of the best sounding casts I listen to.

Oh and I'm down for hybrid.
 
I am interested in that drawn to life third person shooter thing on my (classy) R2D2 360, its not the batman... game I need but its the game I deserve... I am the knight!

also my phone is up for upgrade in September and i'm wondering if an iPhone will be powerful enough for my needs or will it force me to start buying apple products at the worst time possible?
