I've listened to this show for a while because occasionally there is a good episode, but CheapyD is a pretty disgusting dude and takes every chance to be disgusting. Not sure why burping loudly on every single episode is considered to be ok. CheapyD has the sense of humor of a 10 year old, Wombat is cool and Ship is by far the best and most knowledgeable. I understand that a lot of people love this show and that's great, but for my time there are better shows to listen to.
This show has gone down over the past 5-6 years and devolved into two old men complaining about children’s media, their backs and health problems, while one member tries to keep some small bit of logic and cohesion on the show. They talk over one another, interrupting and basically fighting (and not in any kind of funny or entertaining way). I had to unsubscribe, I can’t take it anymore
Seriously, CheapyD and Wombat (and later Shipwreck) were the first voices I've ever heard in video game podcasting. And for the longest time, they were the only gaming podcast I listened to. That all changed when I went from being a multi-console guy and began focusing only on one console. I thought finding a podcast like yours but focused on one console would be even better. But man was I wrong!
The CAGCast is still my favorite gaming podcast, and the only one I need to listen to. Sorry it took me about 10 years to get around to making iTunes reviews!
Cheepy, wombat, and Ship are the best personalities on a video game podcast. I'm late to the party (about a 2 year or so listener) but they never disappoint. Do they know the most about games on the web? Hell no. Do they have any exclusives? Nope. But they do have charm, and a realistic view on games. Want facts? Google it. Want good takes and funny personal stories? Theses are the guys.
Something about Cheapy D and Wombat makes you want to pop a cold one and just sit back and relax. I can't say the same for the other video game podcasts around for the sole reason that most of the guys talking sound too stuffy. Cheapy, wombat, and shipwreck have such great chemistry and it's awesome to say this podcast has great consistency over the last decade or so.
I've listened to CAGcast for years and it's still my favorite podcast. I wish more people knew about it. I love games but that's not the main reason I listen. These three guys have such an amazing chemistry and so entertaining that I listen to hear what's going on with them. I love the recurring jokes, real life stories, banter and opinions on pop culture and other non-game related news. The game talk just makes it all the better.
Tell people to subscribe even if they aren't gamers. They may still love this.
Can expect the same routine format each week, which isn't bad. Includes shipwreck buying and watching everything and in the end saying everything was "ok."
I love the dynamic between these guys. They talk about some of the video games i care about, but I find myself listening more so just becasue i enjoy hearing about their familes and how they keep gaming as part of their life. Wombat is my favorite tbh, which Shipwreck in a close 2nd. Cheapy D is meh. Seems kinda cocky and eliteist lol. But is tolerable!
I've been listening for about a year now and still love it! Suggestion: you guys should play 20 questions where one person knows the name of a game and answers the others' questions. That would be really fun! If only one of you reads this, then you should use this game:
Singularity
Cheapy, Shipwreck, and Wombat come at you each week with a show that is entertaining and informative. The thing that sets the Cagcast apart from other gaming podcasts is that it really has no fluff or filler. When the show is done, it's done. The hosts really compliment each other well and have a great synergy together. I've listened for years and as long as they keep making shows, I will keep listening. Keep up the amazing work fellas!
About 60% of the time they were talking about past events and family events before even talking about games, even then they only talked about current games, not bargin ones like I thought they would. Also, they talked a lot about comic movies and books, which was not in the description either. I hope that this was just a couple bad weeks vs what the rest of the casts will be like in the future.
I’ve been listening to this show for years. One of my all-time favorites and I never miss an episode. These guys aren’t just a podcast I listen to every week, but they are like old friends that I always like hearing about. Hasn’t missed a beat since CheapyD came back from Japan. Looking forward to many more episodes.
I love the show, finally giving my review after a full year of listening. You guys are great and the fact that two of you have children and still are into gaming gives me hope. That said I feel that you guys are negative on most games, and praise for a game you like is on the lower side. Other than that I love the show, I like shipwreck the most because his taste in games are similar to me, except I have a love for my ps vita games.
Though I am not a huge gamer, owning a PS4 and play it maybe 5 times a month, I absolutely love this podcast. I am subscribed to probably 20 podcasts, and these hosts are equal with my two other favorite shows' hosts (That would be Pretty Much It and Screen Rant Unground). Cheapy, Wombat and Shipwreck are so entertaining and funny. Even if you are not a gamer, you will enjoy this. And to be honest, they go off on random tangents about non-video game discussions, which is part of the reason I love it. For example, the episode I'm listening to right now, they're talking about sandwiches, and its hilarious! Anyway, listen to it. Its great.
I quit listening a while back. David clearly thinks he's better than the other guys and is very condescending. Even when David buys them gifts, he expect them to be grateful on the air and sing his praises. You can do better by listening to about a dozen other podcasts. AVOID!
Wombat you a lovable huggable piece of fluff. Spicer you piece of -----------!!! Cheapy you rock! Greatest podcast among all podcasts!
Cheapy, start a podcast with Spicer, now. That's your next move!
CAGcast is the one I always turn to.
It is the one that whenever I get a new device, it is the first podcast to go on it.
I have been listening for years and it is still my TOP GO-TO PODCAST for video game news and all around entertainment.
Enjoy the show highly. Helps keep me going through a hard day. I like that they talk about all three of the major console companies. Hope they keep up the good work.
I love this podcast, what really makes it enjoyable is the banter and discussions between the 3 hosts. My only gripe is that the hosts opinion on gaming in general can be too similar thus making for a more mundane show at times. Things are always more interesting when Wombat fires things up by offering a different perspective on a news story. But when it comes to the games in general, they all seem to enjoy and dislike the same things... you rarely get their inputs on Vita or Nintendo games.
Some people get upset when others have a different opinion than their own. I always find it ridiculous that people get mad at the hosts for anything they say on this show. Plenty of times I disagree too. But it's the interaction of the hosts that is the real jewel here. I am always laughing when I listen to this. Whether it's Cheapy's latest restroom debacle or Wombat saying something dumb and then Shipwreck's "are you nuts?" response, it's always funny. So what difference does it make if they don't like something I like? They've ripped on one of my all time favorite games and I disagreed with every single thing they said about it but I laughed the whole time anyway because of how they said it.
It's really a lot like listening to the Howard Stern show, and that's a big compliment to CheapyD.
I really do look forward to this show all week long. It'll be a sad day when it finally ends someday.
Between the boring stories of the Tokyo American club and shipwreck's wiring progress and wombats terrible humor, this show is JUST BAD.Not to mention they all seem to have Xbox bias.I love xbox, had a 360 all gen and have now switched to ps4 but unwavering love for a brand that is making a ton of mistakes is laughable.unsubbed.AVOID AT ALL COST.
The guys at CAG give their listeners a pretty unique and laid back show that provides glimpes into the gaming industry while also giving hands on impressions of the newest games.
The dynamic between the hosts is great. I dig the casual conversation approach, unlike some shows which feel too structured. The show is funny, and I find their take on games to be very similar to my own.
I've been listening for about a year now and enjoy the show so much I started listening to the old ones! Cheapy, Wombat, and shipwreck have great chemistry and the flow of the show is great. Highly recommend this cast if you enjoy games and funny people.
