Alden's Amazing Roblox Review

Happy New Year! 🎉
We hope you've been enjoying the holidays like we have and spent a lot of time (virtual or in-person) with family and friends. We certainly did. In fact, I think we had more fun and ate more sweets than we did this past Halloween. 🎃

Anyways, time for another review... and we chose a game we've been playing for about a month. FLAG WARS! ⛳️ It's basically a 'Capture the Flag' type game that was a remake of StickMasterLuke's version (maker of 'Natural Disaster' btw) that's everything you want out of a team-play FPS. I enjoy it because it reminds me of my old gaming days of Quake, Counterstrike, Unreal Tournament, etc. Alden just likes the 'Spaz'. 😁
The run-time is a bit long on this episode, as we covered three full rounds of playing AND included some trivia about Brazil (for those of you listening from the region). We learned a lot and had a lot of fun recording this one.

Hi everyone!
I've been really busy around the house and haven't had time to record with Alden. He's been exploring some new games (Tower Blitz being one of them) and waiting for me to wrap up my biz before starting another episode up.
In the meantime, here's an episode from a few weeks ago when Alden's friend Srihan came over to spend the day at our house. We start off with a Q&A session where I asked both of them various questions about random stuff (ex: who would win between the Hindu Gods vs Greek Gods, top 5 toys you could get for free, who would you like to punch in the face without repercussions, etc.). It was a lot of fun to listen to. 😁

We later found out that Srihan couldn't play any video games while he was visiting (which both Alden and I thought was horrendously stupid). So, he agreed to do a play by play while Alden and I tried to get caught up with our stamp collection and golden flag conquest in Super Mario 3D World. Srihan made the most of it, we were partially successful and enjoyed the whole session.
So apologies for the delay... it's my fault again. Unless I start up something like Patreon and quit my job and do these full time, I'll just continue to release them when time allows (and Alden keeps pestering me about getting one together).
Hope this episode finds you happy, healthy and staying clear of COVID-19 (though it's damn hard with Omicron... our next door neighbors' entire family was exposed to it during the holidays).

See you next time, and thanks for listening!

Hey there! How are ya? 😁

We're getting ready for our family vacation in February and I REALLY needed to get this done and out the door before that happened. That's because I'm usually running around at the last minute getting things I forgot to pack (ponchos, extra masks, etc.) and producing a podcast would be at the very bottom of the 'to-do' list.

Anyhoo, this episode gets into my 52nd birthday celebration a couple of weeks ago, which Super Uber Rare cats would make good names for kids, and Alden's basketball teammates and what I think of them as their coach. We also get into the never-ending saga that is COVID-19 and how we had to get tested... AGAIN. Seriously, this pandemic is exposing how incredibly dumb humans are with taking pro-active measures and thinking about the bigger picture... which I'll be contemplating as I'm double masked on a flight to Florida next week.

Oh, and we review Tower Blitz too. 🤪 In a nutshell, you should stop playing Tower Defense Simulator and give this game a try... especially if you like sniper towers with FULL AUTO capabilities. 😎
And finally, we have a Discord! We're experimenting with it, but you can join by following this link.

Hope you're doing well, and thanks as always for checking our podcast and giving us a listen. :)

Heya hiya hello-hah!

This episode is really two podcasts in one. The first part talks about our recent trip to Universal Studios and what we thought of all the rides. The second part talks about our featured game, Roblox NPC's are becoming smart! (recommended by Tyson_Something (Thanks! 😁)) and how we were digging the interactions we had with Carl.

The whole thing has more sound bites, music overlays, transitions and weird, off-the-wall inserts than any previous episode, clocking in at a whopping 74 minutes. I think I definitely overproduced it a bit. Well, maybe a lot. Maybe a whole lot. Maybe I completely nerded out and spent a whole week on it. Definitely possible. 🤪

Anyhoo, we do our usual coverage of Battle Cats, reviews on Apple Podcasts, and all your emails from the previous month (big thank you's to Tyson and Shannon for writing in). We even talked about our first Discord member named Sunstripe (who has the only real Australian accent that we know of). He also podcasts like we do, and you can find his content over on Spotify. Check it out when you have some time... especially if you like the Warrior Cats novel series by Erin Hunter. 👍
