The Filter Wave: 35

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and a safe Black Friday.

Lucky and I saw a video online of a mob of people going crazy at Walmart over phones. Not really sure what the big saving deal was but It amazes me that people go that wild over stuff. You could be at home spending time with family but no, your out pushing and shoving others out the way for a deal and a saving of maybe 50 bucks.

But enough about that!

Lucky and I launched our new show Couple Gaming!

I made the intro out of Perler Beads. Took me about 15 mins to make the heart. Luckily its sped up so fast you cant see some mistakes when i dropped a bead or two.

I made this Mario for Lucky and this took me all day to make. Trust me its bigger then it appears. And I think Ive developed a new hobby. Yay?

We gave all our lovely pets some baths this past week. They smell so good and feel so very soft. And by all I do mean the cat too.

No legs or arms were harmed in the bathing of Adrian. (Luckily)

I was dared by Matt (a co-host on The Filter) and Lucky to tackle a monster burrito at Freebirds. I managed to finish it but I did not feel good afterwards. It was to much food, and the majority of it was rice. Rice plus water fills your tummy up faster. But it was a very good burrito.

The last thing we did this week was hang our Christmas lights up on the balcony. Its nice to see when driving home at night.

Lucky also wanted me to announce that every other Friday he will be writing the blogs. Since I tend to work Fridays I forget about the blog so he will be helping me out. So since I'm writing this he will be writing next Fridays blogy.

Have a nice evening

The Filter Wave: 34

Good afternoon everyone. It's been quite an exciting week with the election going on. I hope everyone did their part and got out and voted. I heard everyone who voted was given stickers!

It was rather a close battle between Mitt and Obama for awhile. I thought Mitt was going to win, but Lucky and I turned back the channel about an hour later and Obama was way past 270.

But moving on, our cat decided to lick up quite a bit of hamburger grease this past Wednesday. It didn't hit him till the next morning though, and boy did his puke stink. I'm talking rank, stinky stank! It was a nice combo of cat food, hamburger, and poo... ugh it was bad. Poor Lucky had to clean it up two times.

We had to put him in the bathroom, and kind of wait things out. I had Google "cat eats cooking grease," to make sure he wasn't really sick or going to kill over on us. We just had to give him lots of water and no food for about 24hours. He will be back to his old ways soon enough.

I'm going to take Lucky out tomorrow to see the new James Bond movie "Skyfall," he has been waiting for this, for quite sometime now. I've never seen him this excited for a movie to be honest, plus everyone is saying it's the best bond movie yet. I have only seen one maybe two James Bond movies (ah I can just hear Lucky say, that's just sad.)

I'm not sure what movies I'm excited to see next, there hasn't too many good horror movies when Halloween was around... I haven't even seen one good Christmas movie advertisement, except "The Guardian," but that's aimed at kids.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, I am getting ready to head off to work. Lucky is in the living room watching Rocky III, he has the Rocky theme blasting from the TV speakers... men. Be sure to check us out this Sunday on The Filter! Episode #86!!!!

The Filter Wave: 33

Hey guys, hope everyone has been doing well. Not to much has been going on here at The Filter head quaters. Lucky's been playing Left 4 Dead 2 alot lately and working on Minecraft.

Ive been watching all the new seasons of the fall TV shows like The Walking Dead, American Horror Story: Asylum and Revenge. All of which are very good this season. Also last week we mentioned in the episode that we redid the Filter Wall. I forgot to put the pics in the video so here you go.

There's only 1 small mistake that Lucky still needs to fix up there. But Like we said in the video the small empty spot will have something special go there eventually.

We grilled some burgers as well.

We tried to do this the night prior but it was to windy and the coals wern't getting hot. In attempts to save our burgers Lucky ran out to get more charcoal but sadly it needed lighter fluid.

So next day I bought some lighter fluid and after spraying the coals many times it finally was a success. Lucky and I both prefer the just light em up charcoal. Its just easier to deal with.

Lastly we hit up Game Exchange and I got me this lovely gem.

This game I played with my mother so much as a kid. We would spend quite a few hours playing it together. One thing I didnt really notice as a kid and Lucky pointed out as I played through was when your playing the spa mode in which your battling team rocket, James is always cross dressing as the women. I knew he did it a few times in the series but they tried to censor it a bit. But they left it plain as day in the game.

But thats all that went on this past two weeks. I hope to catch you guys on this Sundays show. Have a great weekend and since I wont see you till next week

The Filter Wave: 32

Good evening!!! Hope everyone is having a good Saturday.

I know my little princess Bella is.

Lucky and I had an eventful week. First off we finally saw the new Judge Dredd movie. Both of us thought it was pretty good.

Then my birthday was this past Wednesday!!!

I want to thank everyone for the birthday wishes.

But Lucky took me out to Stonebriar Mall. We got Quest 64 for the N64 and Resident Evil 2 for the Game Cube. We also got this shirt for him because our cat is evil.

Next we headed to Dave n Busters for dinner. The food we really good and the game room was really fun. I wouldnt mind going back again soon. We winded up getting a DnB glass cup and some candy. The tickets are real easy to rack up, atleast the games we played we won alot. We hit a jack pot of 450 on the first game so not bad right?

We then headed home to relax and open gifts. I received speakers for my computer and Guild Wars 2.

Ive been playing it as much as I can and enjoying it quite alot. I really enjoy playing mmos, I just dont like the pay to play fees that come with it. Luckily this is a buy game and play as much as you want with no pay to play fees.

But with that I will see yall tomorrow.

The Filter Wave: 31

Happy Friday!!!! Hope everyone is doing good this week.

Ive gotten sick unfortunately, so I've been battling to get better. I always tend to get sick when the seasons change. Lucky has made me stay in bed and rest. So i haven't been able to play games or watch to much TV. But I'm managing to write this while he sleeps soundly in the other room.

Fall is coming/already here and the weather has been getting quite cooler out here in Texas. It's a nice change from the bearing hot sun that's normally outside. Im rather excited for Fall since its my favorite season and it will be my first in Texas. I just love seeing all the leaves change color.

Out in Chicago when it was Fall it was always so very pretty driving home. For there were many trees on both side of the road as you drove down. Each would be at a different stage in hibernating, so all the trees had different color leaves. Some bright red others yellow ect. And in spring they would all have pretty flowers and my allergies would go hay wire.

But any who, I bought our dogs some Halloween costumes this year to dress up in.

Bella the Crazy Eyed Circus Monkey

And Sophie the Hyper Bumble Bee

Sophie seems more willing to wear her costume then Bella does. But they both look cute.

I doubt Lucky and I will dress up in anything this year. We've been thinking about doing a Halloween themed episode for the podcast but no plans have been set in motion as of yet.

My birthday is this upcoming Wednesday, Ill be 23 years old. Lucky has a surprise gift for me and the gift I want dosen't come out till November. Its the new Harvest Moon game that comes with the stuffed cow. I also want to get the Sims 3 Seasons when it comes out as well.

But alas I must go because mister Lucky will be getting up shortly. I hope yall have a good weekend.

The Filter Wave: 30

Hey yall hope everyone is having a good week so far. Lucky and I have been quite busy promoting Season 4 and playing us some Borderlands 2.

We went out to the GearBox Community Day down in Dallas this past Saturday, and nabbed us some goodie bags for Borderlands 2.

It was a free event but you could purchase a goodie bag for 30 dollars if you wanted or just get the free bag. Adam Sessler as well as Morgan Webb was there as special guest to play the game. Though Lucky and I both wish Olivia Munn was there as well.

The difference between the black bag which you can see this nice man wear as he play tests the game...

...and the red 30 dollar bag was Red bags got more Alien stuff, another game that was promoted at the event, as well as a Gearbox cogwheel logo hat, and a cool Alien "Face Hugger" alien toy which we plan to scare our neighbors with...shhh.

This thing.

Each had a Gearbox pen, some key chains. and a code to unlock a golden key for the golden chests in game.

The best thing which came in both bags was this mouse, at least in my opinion. Lucky and I play most games on the PC so maybe that's why we liked it so much.

We both got to test out the game and funny enough, we got into the wrong line, so we tested it out on the xbox and not the PC. It was still enjoyable and I wouldn't mind trying out more first person games on the xbox. It just seems so much easier then the PlayStation.

But that's all that happened this week. Be sure to check out our new season of The Filter, season 4, and let us know what you think. We will be testing some new things out with this season. So some things may stay and others may go. You can also let us know whatcha think of it.

Also go get you a copy of Borderlands 2!!!! If you have Steam perhaps you can join us in a game our two.

With that I leave you with 2 more pics and some links where you can find us.

The Filter Wave: 29

Hello Boys and Girls!!! I hope yall are having a good week. Lucky and I are quite excited for season 4 to begin of The Filter. It happens this Sunday so be sure to check it out. We grace you with our lovely faces once again.

I made this wall of pages of game guides and just neat pics to hang behind us.

I still need to add more to it though. Lucky wants me to do the entire wall  but I told him Ill need more guides or pics because I don't want to use the same games over and over again.

Other then getting ready for the new season here nothings been going on. I'm really liking my job at Subway, its nice to get out the house for a bit and earn money, but at the same time gossip with my co workers and have fun.

Lucky's birthday was this past Monday, and we headed out to Salt Grass Steak House. Like usual he got his New York Strip and smothered it with his A1 or liquid gold as he calls it. I personally cant stand to much of A1, its to over powering on the taste buds at times.

I got him this kitty from Monster Hunter, he wanted it since we saw it at A-kon. I also as an early b-day gift got him a new desk and when I get around to it I will buy him the Tony Hawk HD thing for the PS3.

We also celebrated our 1 year anniversary on Saturday. We headed out to the Cheesecake Factory. It was delicious!!!

I don't get to come here often so I usually wind up getting the same thing which is the Shrimp Bistro Pasta. (I believe??) Its spaghetti pasta with a garlic lemon based sauce, with shrimp of course, mushrooms and other stuff. But all together its heaven in your mouth.

I will say Its rich but everything is pretty rich here. Don't expect to ever finish your plate when coming here is all I can say. But we had a great time and can't wait till next year for my pasta.

Lucky got grilled cheese, but its really good grilled cheese!!!

But until this Sunday, have a great weekend.

The Filter Wave: 28

Its been a rather eventful year to say the least, a Lot of memorable things have happened to us here at the Filter and in our normal day lives.

Last week I finally managed to nab a part time job working at good old Subway. Ive worked here before in the past. It was actually my first job as a teenage. Ive been enjoying it quite well. Everyone at the store is nice and friendly. Also most of us are reading Fifty Shades of Grey which I thought was funny.

But I want to talk about a particular event on this day one year ago. George (aka Lucky) asked me to go out with him under the Chicago lights. I was really happy particularly because I had a huge crush on him for a long time. I would have to say Ive liked him since we met.

And not to many people know the story on how we met, but we met online playing Left 4 Dead 2. I joined a game of a friend who wanted me to meet this cool guy he met earlier that day who could hack the game. And no this cool guy wasn't Lucky, It was now our good friend Zach.

But any who I joined the game and met Zach, played a few rounds then Zach let us know his friend was coming so we waited. Well this friend joined our game, and well shot me till i went down. No hi no nice to meet you, just shot me without saying a word to me.What an ass right? But that's how I met Lucky back in late 2008.

Its funny sometimes how you meet, but I wouldn't change the way we met in any way.
