Legit article, but needs major work to avoid reading like an advert. -- BD2412 thimk 20:52, 2005 May 13 (UTC)

pulled out some of the bias. The good news is I checked the website and their wording is different, so it's not a copyvio from the official website. EvilPhoenix

trying to fix NPOV

edit

I took out this bit :

Cheapass Games variously include also tend to have two of the following: integrated themes and mechanics, innovative game concepts, or a slightly off kilter humor. For example, Diceland is a dice game that involves physical coordination, strategy, and tactical skill with very little humor. The Devil Bunny series on the other hand are not particularlly innovative, but have similiar mechanics and humorus sensibilities.

... because I couldn't find a NPOV/factual way of rephrasing it. Maybe just talking about the awards won, and why, is enough. Flammifer 02:31, 23 July 2005 (UTC)Reply

OK, I removed the tags, I think things improved quite a bit since they were added. Flammifer 02:35, 23 July 2005 (UTC)Reply

Game category

edit

Would a category:Cheapass games be worthwhile? Bedders 08:38, 22 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

I don't see corresponding categories for oher publishers, so I'd say "no". The information (list of Cheapass games) is already included in this article. -- JHunterJ 13:00, 22 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Juggling?

edit

James Ernest is also known as a contact juggler (see contact juggling) and as such possibly merits an article in his own right.Janetmck 21:55, 2 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

There's an interview at Joystiq that contains a lot of relevent history. JAF1970 15:52, 16 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Fate of James Ernest

edit

I can't put this in the article because it's "original research," but when I attended GenCon last summer and saw that many of the games were picked up by other publishers, I asked around and found out that CA Games has effectively disbanded. Mr. Ernest was said to have found that most rare of geek goals: a "day job." (One source said he now works for Microsoft.) --DLWormwood (talk) 19:57, 29 October 2008 (UTC)Reply
