Year 1 Episode 8 Recap
So last Friday was our 8th episode. Crazy to think that we have been doing our MehCasts for about 2 months now but it’s been great. Prior to the show we were at the local Tweet Up that I mentioned in a recent blog. We were originally going to try and air the show from the event but since we have ghetto equipment there would have been no way we could have cancelled out the background noise. O...[Read More]
California Love
Yesterday was a pretty great day. It started off getting some local love from @mikeoz on Twitter. He works for the local newspaper, The Fresno Bee, and has written some really great articles. When I take the time to actually read the paper I always make sure to check out what he has to say. For the Fresno Bee employees there is a website called FresnoBeeHive where they add additional content that ...[Read More]
Wii Week Wrap-up
Well, we started the week without really meaning to talk about the Wii every day, but it happened, so we decided to call it our Wii Week. It was an interesting week filled with highs and lows. On the one hand, we paid off a few house expansions in Animal Crossing, and I fucking RULE at Mario Kart, but on the other hand, Francine is a dirty bitch who robbed me blind. I really fucking hate Francin...[Read More]
Wii are Angry
Wednesday night, I went on a fishing bonanza, filling my Animal Crossing house with fish to sell the next day in one big selling run. Last night, a little while after I got home, I made my sales, getting myself up to over 85,000 bells (Animal Crossing currency), a hefty sum indeed. I continued fishing, wanting to break the 100,000 mark, when I came across one of my town’s residents. Franc...[Read More]
A Wii Bit of Devastation
Our new Wii does not come without consequences. Since we purchased our Wii, our apartment has gone to hell. We moved our coffee table to place the Wii Fit Balance Board down. We have dishes from LAST THURSDAY still sitting in the sink (I finally washed some yesterday and set some others in hot water to soak). We have empty snack bags (and some not so empty snack bags) littering the floor aroun...[Read More]
Wii Week Continues
Well, since Monday was heavily focused on the Wii, and Tuesday documented a Wii-related experience, I figured we might as well make it Wii Week and run three more days of Wii blog posts. I bet you’re all excited about that! Lindsey and I have been playing a lot of Animal Crossing: City Folk since we got it. It is the most played game we own now. When we got it, I figured that would be her...[Read More]
Weekend with the Wii
On Friday the 13th, Lindsey and I became the proud new owners of a Nintendo Wii system, along with Wii Fit, Wii Sports, Wii Play, Mario Kart Wii, Super Mario Galaxy, Animal Crossing: City Folk (with Wii Speak), and some accessories. Needless to say, our weekend was very productive. Very productive. We have both been playing mostly Animal Crossing. She has played this game in depth on multiple sy...[Read More]
Valentine’s Day
Today was Valentine’s Day. It was the second Valentine’s Day that Lindsey and I have had, and the first since we moved in together and since we became engaged. The first thing we did was get breakfast. Sorry, let me correct that. The first thing I did was get breakfast. The first thing Lindsey did was play Animal Crossing: City Folk on our new Wii. After eating breakfast, we cont...[Read More]
Year 1 Episode 5 Recap
Good morning, World of Meh! So last night marked Episode 5 of Year 1 of our weekly MehCast. It was a good show, and, if I recall correctly, our best attended and longest show yet! The two of us had a real blast with this episode, and we really appreciate everyone who has been watching and participating. We started off the show by discussing Lindsey’s Princess Leia style aluminum foil hair,...[Read More]
Year 1 – Episode 2 Recap
Last Friday, Chris and I had a rather interesting show. For starters we had to cut it at an hour due to us having company come over. Then we experienced tech issues about half way through the show in which we had to cut the feed and restream. Our total live viewer count was 2, but we knew in advance that some of the guys who were there for our first episode wouldn’t be able to make it. I kne...[Read More]
Trivial Pursuit?
After jamming to Guitar Hero: World Tour and loving how my throat hurt after doing my best rendition of Pat Benetar’s “Heartbreaker,” the gang and I decided to put Trivial Pursuit in my XBOX. I know some of you might be thinking that a board game played on a console must suck, and those thoughts would be correct. Chris was blatantly cheating, although he would say otherwise, and ...[Read More]
