Around this time of year, I like to make a list of my best games SO FAR, because usually the AAA titles are released later in the year during the holiday season, and the titles that came out earlier tend to be forgotten.  So here’s when those games get their due.  Keep in mind that this is my list only and no other outside opinions contributed.  And if a game isn’t on this list, it either just didn’t appeal to me as much or I haven’t had a chance to play it yet.  Ok with that out of the way, let’s begin!

I’ve got a new batch of sweet and sour reviews I’ve recently cooked up over at GamerDad.com!  Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe even post a ‘like’ or comment or two.  I’d appreciate it.  Ok grab those chopsticks and let’s dig in!

In case you haven’t noticed, Mario is pretty big right now.  Well, he’s always been big, but this year his new movie hit the billion dollar mark, and a Mario theme park just opened up at Universal Studios Hollywood.  So in this podcast, brother Jeff and I review the movie and I talk about my trip to Super Nintendo World!

I couldn’t think of a creative title for this GamerDad.com review dump blog, so I’m quoting Bluey.  Bluey is an awesome kids show that is so good that I sometimes forget it’s a kids show.  You should watch it if you get a chance.  It’s on Disney+.  Anyway, here’s a bunch of reviews I’ve recently written over at GamerDad.com.  Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe even post a ‘like’ or comment or two.  I’d appreciate it.  OK let’s begin!

So you know how the Mario Bros. are plumbers and they fell into a pipe that led them to the Mushroom Kingdom?  Well, I work in the plumbing department of a major hardware store, so I guess the same thing happened to me!  So in this blog, you’ll read all about my adventures in the Mushroom Kingdom, and how I was able to defeat Bowser three times in one morning.  Take that, Mario!  So yeah, I went to Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Hollywood a few weeks ago, so here’s my detailed account and experiences of the whole thing.

Sneaking in like a ninja, here are some game reviews I’ve recently written at GamerDad.com!  Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe even post a ‘like’ or comment or two.  I’d appreciate it.  OK let’s begin!

It’s time to clean up with some reviews I’ve recently written over at GamerDad.com.  Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe even post a ‘like’ or comment or two.  I’d really appreciate it.  OK time to start cleaning!

Most of you know that I generally prefer to play family friendly games.  That’s one of the reasons why I write at GamerDad.com!  But I am an adult and sometimes I like more ‘grown up’ games, too.  So that’s what this podcast is all about!  Granted, I had to stretch a bit for some of the games on my list, but I think it’s a nice contrast to what I usually talk about.  So here’s me and my brother Jeff talking about our favorite Mature video games.

Hey folks, I have some big news for you all!  You know how the Super Mario Bros. Movie is coming out soon, right?  Well if you go to see it, make sure to watch the credits because my name is in there under “Plumbing Consultant.”  You see, in the movie, it shows the bros. as plumbers, and the animators needed to make sure the pipes they were working on looked correct.  And since I work in the plumbing section of a major hardware store chain (true story), they had me do that.  So why didn’t they hire a real plumber for that?  Well, licensed plumbers are expensive, and they wanted to save some money so they had me do it instead.  And because I do work for a major hardware store, they’re partnering with the Mario movie to sell special plumbing tools.  So for a limited time, you can get plumbing wrenches, pipe cutters, and plungers with red or green handles, like Mario and Luigi!

Last year there was a game that came out that I really wanted to review called Arcade Paradise.  I requested a review code three different times and was denied each time!  I really wanted to review it, too, because it’s a time management sim where you must run a laundromat business, but you are secretly running an arcade in the back with dozens of fictional arcade games you can actually play!  I actually had an idea for a business that was half laundromat, half arcade, and I was going to called it Quarters: Good Clean Fun.  So this game really resonated with me.  If I had gotten a chance to review it last year, it definitely would’ve showed up on my Game of the Year list somewhere.  But this year I used some Christmas present PlayStation Store points to buy it, and sure it was only 20 bucks so I was kind of cheap, but this stuff adds up if you’re not careful.  Anyway, so now that I’ve played the game, I thought I’d write a blog about the arcade cabinets you can play on it.  Oh yeah, and slight spoiler alerts here and there, but I don’t think it matters much.
