Hey all! Patrick here. Sorry for the lack of updates. It has been busy busy busy!! Melody is out on vacation and I just came back from a business seminar. Melody's definitely the more avid blogger, but I'll add my contribution and hopefully not make it suck too much. As you may or may not know, we both have full time jobs. Melody is also goes to school. In addition to that, we also are

She said: So when I saw this game it was like 12 bucks at game stop a year or two ago. I was looking at it and thought oh I bet Patrick will like this game... and it's by atlas, (I really like atlas). It actually didn't look like a game I would like because it said old school rpg and I'm not old school like that and it looked kind of hard. I get discourage really easily, just to let you know.I

I was going to write about my progress everyday but also I didn't want to junk up this blog by having more than one post a day and I thought it would get boring after a while.So it's been two weeks since I started really working out and trying to lose weight.Here is the break down.2 pounds lost (on track with my one pound a week goal)1 person told me I looked thinner and prettier (and no that

Hey everyone so we thought it would be a great idea to do a blog giveaway. ^_^This is just swag (stuff we all get) that we got from comic-con.This is all gaming related so we thought it would be great to give away for our blog, which happens to be gaming related.So here is the stuff.(1) Dissidia final fantasy fan (one side good guys, other side bad guys)(2) Brutal Legend iron-on.(3) Harry Potter

He Said:I'm not a huge fan of fighting games, but I definitely do have fond memories of Street Fighter II back in the good old days. After Street Fighter III came out, I basically fell out of fighting games all together. Virtua Fighter was never on my radar at all. In fact, I remember trying to play the original VF and being completely confused. Not like Street Fighter at all!!Anyway, a few years

I always think it's more interesting to know more about the people that are behind the blog so I thought it would be great to do a little Q/A with me and Patrick. Here are a few things about us that you might find interesting.Where did you go to college?She said: California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (say that three times fast), a lot of people I know just call it cal poly, SLO

She said :We got this game at Fry's last month during that massive let's buy games moment I had. Well I popped this into my DS. I wasn't sure what to expect... I was hoping it would be sort of like cooking mama but different.Well it seems the first part of it is just a recipe book. Which is cool I guess.Then there is something called the cooking kitchen which is kind of like cooking mama but way

Hey everyone so if you got the wii like when it first came out the internet channel was free... and then that changed to 500 wii points soon after.So when we got our wii the internet channel was not free anymore and we are too lazy to pay for stuff on the wii, they really don't make it that easy to buy stuff.Turns out right now the internet wii channel is free again!

This isn't a review... because Patrick hasn't finished the game yet.I actually finished the game but more on that when we write our review for it.As Patrick was going through the game, there is this one part where you are in a contest and at the end of the contest (which is at end of the 2 chapter I believe) the game should ask you if you want to save or not, anyways for Patrick when he gets to

Wow is everyone having a wedding right now? We just got invited to another one. I’m pretty excited because Patrick won’t let me steal all the ideas from the other wedding we went to.Well there is one idea I really really want to steal this one idea for name setting, they used those chocolates that are wrapped in gold foil and stuck the name on a toothpick and stuck the toothpick in the

Today is my rest day because of the wedding. I thought maybe I could get a workout in because I’m kind of gun-ho right now about working out and eating right. Basically we woke up got ready and went to the wedding and came back passed midnight. No way to get the workout in.Though I’m counting the walking we did in SF, though it wasn’t very much… in total we probably walked about 45 minutes but

Today's game deal of the day is Tales of Vesperia for less than 15 bucks! What a good deal! We have this game already and Patrick is playing it right now. We will write a review for it soon. ^_^ It's awesome so far. I might buy this for my brother since he showed an interested in it.Amazon - Tales of Vesperia

Wow look on Amazon Xbox 360 Elites are now 100 dollars cheapers now! That's crazy... so it's only 299.99, instead of 399.99.Man we bought it for the more expensive price a year and half ago. Oh well the year and half of game playing was probably worth the 100 dollars. ;-)If you don't have one, this might be a good time to buy if you have been on the fence about it.Xbox 360 Console

She said:My brother and I are a big fans of Hayao Miyazaki, we almost always know when and what his next movie coming out. I was super excited about Howl’s Moving Castle, but it seemed like I was the only person that knew about even my friends in college (that’s when it came out) didn’t know it was coming out or have even heard of it, darn Disney for not advertising it till the last minute.Now

So now it’s the third day in my 30 day challange. It was suppose to a rest day but since we have a wedding to go to the next day I decided to take my rest day the next day. I’m actually doing this 30 day challenge everyday and I’m going to write about everyday but I didn’t want to junk up our blog with just me writing about this so I’m only posting my progress on days we don’t have anything

She said:Another puzzle game! Did I mention I like puzzle games? Thus a lot of times I buy puzzle games.The way I found out about this was I was cruising Amazon for video games one day and ran across this one, it didn’t have that many reviews but it had a few people saying how good and fun it is.Then I saw it at Fry’s for a pretty good price and picked it up.I wanted to start playing it right

Patrick is sometimes forgetful and sometimes he does stuff that is bad because of his forgetfulness, I will be like that’s bad! So Patrick usually drives when we go out together but usually we take my car, for some reason in the last few months my car doesn’t make that noise for if you leave your headlights on anymore (I really should get that looked at but I’m kind of lazy).Patrick has been

So exciting! Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box is coming out today. Me and Patrick are going to cruise around to find it and buy it. There was no special deal to pre-order it anywhere so we are just going to try our luck. We will tell you how it is. We really liked the first one. ^_^UPDATE : When I checked it on Amazon it says ships in 1-2 months... which to means says they sold out on it..

I thought this was an interesting thing about weddings I recently found out. Did you know most brides create a B-list guest list?When you invite people to your wedding you will get some rejections and that’s normal. Usually people will show up with more people or people that you didn’t invite will show up or you will have people that say yes that don’t show up or you will have people that said

It was kind of late yesterday like 10:30 and I thought oh man it will take me an hour to do this 25 minute workout that EA Sports Active wants me to do… but okay I’ll do it.I thought maybe I could cut down the time because I don’t want have to watch the videos anymore… wrong! There are new excises today, there are some old ones but there are some new ones. Like forward lungs and tennis swings.

So as our wedding is approaching it seems I might have to lose some weight because I’m kind of overweight.I wasn’t overweight when I met Patrick over 2 years ago but our whole first year together had some bad eating choices like late night fast food every week and then last year we went out to eat a lot for various reasons and on top of that we didn’t exercise, I must have lost 5 years of my over

So it seems Amazon is having a special promotion on video games till the end of the month. For every video game you buy you can get 5 dollars of Amazon credit for getting MP3s.It's pretty cool so for every video game you get, you will get an e-mail telling you that your account is credited 5 dollars for MP3 buying. So when you buy an MP3 it will automatically deduct from that pool of money.For

A surprising fun game.She said :Okay so I guess you guys have noticed that last Friday that Patrick wrote a review on his own since I didn’t play that game. Now we are pretty different people are there are some games he has played that I haven’t played and vice versa. So this week it’s my turn. I was thinking of making Fridays just one person’s review or an Anime review, we don’t have an Anime

Me and Patrick have a lot of games now because I'm always buying games when it's a good deal.I check amazon game deal of the day pretty much everyday... I try not to check it too much anymore because seriously we are back logged on playing games.Unfortunately we went to frys this weekend. I wasn't looking for games, my mother

Some of you might be saying another DS game?! Really, seriously? I think I failed to mention that I'm mostly a hand held gamer. I'm the type of person that gets the DS lite on pre-order and the DSi on the day it came out. I also have a PSP and I have my eye out on the new PSP coming out soon.

Yup we are a bit worried about that but a good friend of mine who studies this type of stuff says I have nothing to worry about, I hope she's right!Don't worry we will still be posting reviews while we are away with the handy dandy future post

Another DS game! Yup I like me some hand held games. I hope you enjoy our reviews.She said :I heard about this game off of someone else's blog and he was really excited about it, but didn't say much about it. So I went on my mad search to find as much info about it as I can. I found out when it was coming and I thought oh man I had to have it!It's an awesome story with brain teasers tied in. I

Patrick and I sort of have these anime phases where we watch anime non-stop for a while and then don't for a while. Well we happen to be in one of those watch anime phases and one of the ones we started watching is Shakugan no Shana.She said :We got this one sale online for a pretty good deal. When it came in the mail (with a ton of other anime) I thought this was the most interesting box.

NinjaTown! I have actually never heard of the game till the day I saw and decided to buy it. I have seen the characters around for quite some time and wondered how they were incorperated in this game. It was cute and for a portalable system so I got it. This is a DS game.She said :I have a pretty good memory so for almost every game. I might tell the story of why we have it and how much it was

Remembered when I mentioned that wedding stuff might pop up once in a while? Well here we go. Haha.Today is our engagement party. I'm sure like us you guys might be thinking... what the heck is an engagement party? Let me tell you we thought the same thing! Great minds do think alike. *nods*So when we decided to get engaged last April (oh yeah there was really no proposal and stuff, that's a

So on Saturday I finally got my memory card that can hold FF7. Curiously a 4 GB memory card at Best Buy was 20 bucks and the 8 GB was 50+ bucks and the 2 GB was 22 bucks. Um... of course I'm going to get the 4 GB.Anyways.... turns out it takes over an hour for the game to download and another hour for it to install. Seriously Sony? You are lucky I want to play this game because you are sure

We first heard about this game a long time ago and it seemed really exciting to play. Then last year at Comic Con they had demos that people can play and that got us more excited about it. So we pre-order it (this is kind of rare because we are kind of bargain gamers in the sense we usually buy games on sale or from Amazon's game deal of the day). Good thing we pre-ordered it, it seemed they had

Hey everyone! First off thanks for reading our blog!We are excited to start reviewing.Our plan is to have a review every Wednesday morning, maybe one non-game review on Fridays if we happen to think of one and another post on Sunday (like this one!) that’s not a review. See how that works for us.I (she) had a blog for a few years which I updated daily it was just a random blog with just my

Final Fantasy 7 is buy-able on the Play Station Network for 9.99. I (Melody) never played it before. My brother played it when we were younger and Patrick played it when he was younger too. I was like really young when it came out and I really only played handhelds like the game boy and game boy color at the time.I have tried to play, don't get me wrong. I got a PS2 when I was out of college and

Yay! First anime review. Patrick and I really like anime too, we tend to watch a few episodes a week about one thing or another. We are thinking that for Fridays we might post a blog or we might not and it will be a review that's not a video game. I hope you enjoy our review.She said :Me and Patrick have been going to Fanime (it's the bay area anime convention) every year since we have started

Our first review! How exciting. We decided to do Zack and Wiki Quest for Barbaros' Treasure because this one of the few games we both played and finished together. It's a Wii game.She said :So here is the story. I was checking Amazon, and you know how from your search and buy history they kind of know what you like? Well Amazon suggested this game to me and I was looking at the reviews and

Hi everyone we are a newly engaged couple. We are completely opposite in almost every way except we like video games, anime and eating. Go figure.My guy thought it would be fun to create a blog reviewing games and maybe anime because he thought my opinion of some games where funny and he had some good opinions about games too.We hope to lead people into deciding if they want a game or not from
