If you're looking for Cheapassgamer like youtube videos watch these guys. They go find cheap video games at stores, and use CAG to find deals. I stumbled on them when looking for yard sale finds and tips.

Now that summer is about here CheapyD could go to yard sales perhaps and find deals on the weekends.

How the hell is Ashley Madison still in business and (presumably) making money? As if the data breach wasn't bad enough, I figured having been exposed as having mostly fembots rather than real females would have done them in.
 
I have really enjoyed these shows lately (I always enjoy them) but everyone has been cracking jokes and laughing alot more recently. Nice to hear.

I didn't think Ship would be that impressed by Battleborn. I played it the other day and felt "meh". You can definitely see the Borderlands influence but the game isn't for me. Weapons and powers seem to lack any impact and the gameplay was kinda floaty.

Speaking of which, are you still playing the Pre-Sequel Ship?

 
I wonder if the low NPDs sales are due everyone getting so many free games a month with Xbox Live Gold and PS+. I was considering getting Quantum Break but I am still playing The Division and I was getting Lords of the Fallen, Dead Space, Sunset Overdrive, and Saints Row IV. Not to mention Halo 5 added Firefight mode for free to take even more of my gaming time.

I don't think I'd buy "Borderlands: Battle", but I would definitely buy "Borderlands Colon Battle".

 
Wombat, you are wrong about Lego Dimensions for Cheapy's low back.  The research shows that jobs with prolonged sitting tend to have people with more lower back pain, so the constant getting up and down would probably help him more than just sitting.  

Also, I think you have it wrong about The Division.  Ubisoft did not shoehorn the online multiplayer.  The original concept was just like the darkzone, only that was basically premise for the entire game.  I think they shoehorned in making it a single player game with matchmaking.  They probably realized that all darkzone, all the time would turn off a bunch of people.

Thanks for the show guys.

 
My wife wanted me to replace the laminate flooring in our kitchen last week.  So I figured I would wait for the CAGcast to come out so that I had something to keep me entertained instead of listening to the radio.  By Thursday there was no more putting her off and I had to suffer through this task listening to the radio.  I figured with Shipwreck out of town maybe they were late in getting the CAGcast recorded, but now it sounds like it may have had more to do with Cheapy roughing up the suspect to some iPad porn.  By the way instead of “getting old and fat” you should try joining a Crossfit gym.  I am 45 and started when I was 43, it is brutal but an hour goes by fast and it has really helped me loss weight.  Cheapy you and I are getting close to that point in life where if you do not keep yourself in good health now it get out of hand really fast and with each passing year it get exponentially harder and harder to undo the damage we have done to ourselves.

Wombat sorry my recollections were way off base about your employment.  But it did seem like you were always talking about being at home all day long.  As someone who runs 5K, 7K, and am training for a half marathon let me give you this advice.  There are two ways to help you get through your first 5K.  One imagine there is a bear or horde of zombies chasing you.  The other way an my personal favorite is discreetly position yourself in the running pack about 15-25 feet behind some woman with an amazing ass preferably one wearing yoga pants and just let the hypnotic sway back and forth distract you.  My first 5K was the Susan G Komen on Mother’s Day in Bloomington MN I did this and I sort of remember the first mile marker but the next thing I knew we were running past mile three marker and could see the finish line.

ShipWreck, Just curious what type of continuing ED your wife was attending?  I was a Paramedic and had to attend continuing ED every year, and my wife is a medical provider who attends a ton of continuing ED every year.  Two years ago our family followed my wife to a four day CME (Continuing Medical Education) event in Washington DC.  Our daughter was eight at the time and I had all these ideas of taking her to Smithsonian, Congress, and the White House.  She did not want any of that and we ended up going to Franklin Park and feeding the pigeons and watching the homeless.  So it was entertaining listening to your stories of entertaining a four year old in Savannah Georgia.

Also since you are a huge Borderlands fan did you ever play Coop Borderlands on the Vita?  Is it a fun experience or what are your thoughts on that?  I got it free with my PS Vita I bought.

Is anyone else excited for Game of Thrones Season 6 to start?  I know that is pretty much at the top of my list for #WatchThisBitches.

 
I suggest Cheapy uses a browser app that removes all traces of your browsing when you close it, if he doesn't want his wife or child turning on his iPad and getting a face full of hardcore porn and ads for cheating services.

I recently got a PS4 and am really loving Destiny so far, so I just wanted to give a shout out to Wombat for giving me a Destiny water bottle at the meet up a few months ago to go along with my new-found gaming addiction.

Thanks Wombat!

 
I like the Podcast as is.  I have absolutely no interest in watching you guys talk.  I don't get that.  I'm sure your kids or wives would enjoy watching you, but probably only for a few minutes.  Even the kids would get bored.

Keep the audio only and skip the vids.  Unless you're going to show cool game play, I think there are only a few pervs around here that want to stare at you three for that long.

You're addicted to water? That's good because you need to keep hydrated during long Destiny boot times.

 
Last week distortedGELO was correct in referring to the dark tone of current Superman comics. That tone is pretty much across the board at DC these days. During the new 52, it was a running joke on Reddit about every week someone gets an arm ripped off. So in that respect, BvS does somewhat match the comics. The problem is that the current tone doesn't match up to the classic view of Superman. IMO, a better representation would be All Star Superman. It's widely regarded as a modern classic, and DC would do well to embrace it in both comics and film.
 
You guys are always hype about arcades. (Me too.)

You do know about the existence of Galloping Ghost Arcade right? 500+ arcade games all on free play. $15 to get in all day. Open until 2AM 365 days a year. 20 minutes from downtown Chicago.

Seems like a prime spot for a CAG meetup.

Here's a 50 minute walk through...and they've added more since then. Typically one new cabinet a week.

Yeah, I should've been specific on which Superman version in my original post; I was specifically talking about the new 52 Superman. But the CAG crew was right, there's plenty of more to criticize in the BvS movie anyways. Plus it's always fun being shamed by Wombat on a CAGcast. :pray:

I would appreciate YouTube videos/Let's Plays from the CAG crew, but knowing that you guys have outside lives and this not even being a full time job, it's understandable that it's difficult to make videos. I'd tune in to more Cheapy streams if there were more though.

 
You would think with his money Cheapy would buy a label maker to know which one of his ipads is used for porn. Probably spends all of it on fancy doorbells to spy on the mail carriers.
