I've always had a fond place in my heart for CheapyD, (a place that grew to include a futon and potted plant after he took me to watch Sumo in Tokyo this year) and this is why: He's got a great self-deprecating sense of humor. One that manages to, once a year, encapsulate the life of a bloggerin a three-panel comic. We feel your pain Cheapy... well, no, not literally. More »

Cheapy D, my friend and owner/operator of the awesome CheapAssGamer is now a father. I got to spend some time hanging out with Cheapy and his lovely wife while I was at TGS. They even put me up for a few nights, took me to some amazing restaurants I wouldn't have been to otherwise and were extremely gracious hosts. They are a wonderful couple and I am thrilled to congratulate them officially, if not somewhat impersonally here on Kotaku. I'm sure I speak for the entire staff when I say congratulations Cheapy, Mrs. Cheapy and welcome to little baby Cheapy! More »

You know the drill. Someone gets a new piece of hardware, then unboxes it for all to see. The Wall Street Journal has done a piece on unboxing video fad.

One of the cheap bastards at Cheap Ass Gamer has compiled an amazingly informative guide to importing. CAG forum member Chacranajxy originally wrote this how to for Gamespot, but has dumbed it down for all of us! He gives us the lowdown on how to mod consoles, a full list of import recommendations, which games are actually import friendly and how to buy them. Think of it as "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Importing (But Were Too Afraid to Ask)." Brian Ashcraft More »

I told Cheapy to wear a Mexican wrestling mask, but the lad chickened out. Speaking of which, the Bloomberg anchorman, Bernie Lo, didn't dare say "ass" on air—instead he refered to CheapyD and his site CAG. He did say the Microsoft X360 and the Sony P3. Nice! More »
