Sorry you guys had even

Sorry you guys had even more technical difficulties!  I'm sure we'll all agree that we appreciate what you go through to get the vlogs up.  I don't own a wii so I don't have much to say this week other than thanks for keeping at it and posting the vlog :)

Also, I want that nerf gun.

Yea Bunny Ratings!

Thanks for working through three takes! We appreciate it. I usually like the sims games but these seem dull and boring. Thanks for the heads up on them. Good looking out.

I think i will just buy the nerf guns without buying the game. Or maybe some water guns since it is getting warmer.

Have there been any recent water games released lately?

i think im gna go get me a DS!

the pic ^^, im imagining has good filling. i could be wrong!

ive tried the whole sims thing but for the pc, it takes patience and work... i think i lasted like 30 minutes. for the wii, the graphics just doesnt do it for me.

ive been thinking about getting a xbox360, but most of my friends have been blessed by the red ring of death! ive tried the resident evil 5, that one is impressive.

something something beaver fever

although you guys obviously had a very frustrating time getting this done .. the snarkyness of this was hilarious. and although i dont in any way condone chicken abuse that really does look pretty fun... its making me want to get out the old school Duck Hunt.  anyway hope you two have a good week and that the techie gods have mercy on you and cease this technological apocalypse :)

thanks ladies

I'm sorry about your technical difficulties. Computers are the devil... i am convinced so.  I haven't picked up my wii in forever... the 360 still holds a monopoly on my time.  I recently played through F.E.A.R. 2, and am meddling through Resident Evil 5.  I also will most likely start on my 3rd playthough of Fallout 3, since the Pitt comes out today.  I hope your tech problems get worked out.  Thanks Again.

My Wii gathers dust too

I so agree that with the swag of great, in depth Xbox/PS3 games that the Wii does get left alone a lot of the time. I'm glad to hear (read?) that someone other than myself has played Fallout 3 more than once. I could seriously play that game for-ever! I also picked up a copy of Oblivion and I cannot believe how similar it all is (obviously), but I am slightly mortified to say that I miss the guns too much so probably won't finish it... Swords and daggers just don't do it for me, I guess.

When this first loaded i

When this first loaded i thought 'oh no they've had an arguement' and then you explained, as much its horrible about your technical faults it was funny to see how annoyed you were about the other two takes we've never seen you two so angry.

I've finished res evil 5 and ive come to the conclusion that it was pretty crap lol i was looking forward to it so so much and it was just not what i was expecting, although it looked amazing its way too short and yes it had trophies but that didnt even make it better.

Anyway i hope you have better luck from now on, im gonna get wheelman this week coz i played the demo and it was pretty fun, then next week ill get wanted coz the demo also was pretty cool

Tech savvy

Congrats for still making your umpteen take happen! I know the sentiment, though it's more M$ driven.

THX 4 ur reviews. Not a fan of Sims at all, life's complicated enough :) But kudos to their inclusive game play in former editions.

NERF, hmm, cool tool. Ok, nothing more to say. Keep on smilin'!

Tech Gods Beware

 

With those looks on your faces the Tech Gods should beware.  "Don't make these girls mad" ! 

So far my Xbox is still working.  I had the "Checker Board" twice.  None for about 2 weeks.  I am making sure I only play with it for 2-3 hrs at a time, then turning it off so the chips can cool down.  I have found loads of info on YOUTUBE on how to fix your RROD if it does go out and if Microsoft wont fix it.  Seems most of the time the probem is the chips get too hot.  Supposedly Microsoft fixed this problem with later Xbox's, but they still get the RROD.  I still think they used "cost savings" design and are now paying the price for putting a crap machine out on the market.

Thanks for the Vlog ... though I do not own a wii.

Three cheers for....

Perseverance through adversity!  Sounds like the technology gremlins have infiltrated your casa.  Thanks for pushing on through a third take.  However, I wasn't surprised that, like Xena, Angela has many skills...Magic video hands!  That was cool.  ; )

"More fun than pushing chickens in a ditch"?  Insert Scooby Doo "Ruh?" here.  With regards to the way too cool nerf guns, all I can add is some sage advice that my mother gave to me a long time ago.  "Don't shoot that in the house! You'll put someone's eye out!"  Glad to know you took them outdoors, where, of course, there is absolutely no chance of shooting anyone's eye out.   ; )  Stay cool in the heat and hope that you will soon be rid of the technogremlins that seem to have set upon y'all.

Thanks for hanging in there.  Now I am off to lesbiangeek.com to see what you guys thought of BSG finale.

I gave up on the wii a long time ago

I no longer have a wii and haven't really seen many games worth noting out so far this year.Madworld seems to be a step in the right direction though cool art style,good use of the wiimote/nunchuck combo,and a mature rating.This leads into my question have you had a chance to play madworld yet?

I love my Wii

I'm a big fan of the Wii but you have to read reviews etc before buying the games because there is a lot of crappy games out there for it.  I just got Call of Duty which is great and I'm still busting out MarioKart to play it online an awful lot too.  Resi Evil 4 was AWESOME to say the least and don't forget Zelda...never forget Zelda!

Thanks for sticking around

Thanks for sticking around through all the technology problems.. hopefully we can see you guys happy and cheerful again next episode.

These reviews made me happy even more about my decision to sell my Wii. None of those games appealed to me in any way.

By the way, the thought of you guys running around outside with Nerf guns sounds hilarious. I can just imagine Neighbours looking over into your yard, "What are those crazy lesbians up to now?"

Re: Wii

I'm glad that the two of you were able to overcome great technical difficulties this week.  It sucks pretty bad that you have this cloud of technical difficulties floating around.  I think a good cure for that is madly flailing your arms around while loudly screaming profanities.

I have to say, there are very few Wii games that are out or are coming out that I'm interested in, so much so that I have yet to unpack my Wii from when I moved a month and a half ago.  I think the only reason I will unpack it is if I wind up wanting to use the purse I managed to fit it in.  I am dissapointed, I mean, I was so excited about it when I first got it, and I played it with my girlfriend all the time, but sadly, like the relationship with her, the relationship with my Wii soured.  Unlike the relationship with her, I still see my Wii though.

Wii

I have to say, I also gave up on my Wii- I am actually selling it to a friend- I realized I haven't picked it up since September.  I just can't justify paying 50 dollars for sub-par games.

Thanks for overcoming technically difficulties, although I was scared for a moment when I started watching, you both just looked a little pissed off- and Tracy's Look of Death always scares me.....

Just a suggestion

Alot of games now are offering DLC... so i was wondering if you guys could review those when they come out.

anyways... always great to see your smiling (if exhausted) faces and keep up the hard work! I am totally looking forward to the bunny reviews!

First time commenter

I'm not a major gamer so I don't watch the vlogs as soon as they come out, I'm usually playing catch up.  However, I totally HAD to comment this episode because yous two looked sooooo peeved, I felt for ya! 

I'll be sending positive thoughts to the tech gods for your future encounters.....whoa, that sounded really weird.  =)

Anyway, LOVE the vlog, I am determined to become more of a regular viewer from now on.

I fully appreciate you both

I fully appreciate you both depleting your spare time making this lovely LG vlog. I could see that not only the incapacitating technology irritating you both but also my opinion which was taken a little too close to the bone and can I only apologise. If you post a video online for everyone & anyone to see you are inviting opinions, which mine merely was.

Just finished watching your Star Wars TFU special and thought it was really good! I have found a new sense of resolve to dust off and finish TFU so I can see all the lovely cut senses, story and characters you mentioned.

Still think the best Star Wars games ever made were X-wing & the Tie Fighter series on the pc…

Looking forward to the next one.
