Alden's Amazing Roblox Review

I know, I know... these aren't the 40-60 minute episodes you're used to, and the podcast isn't titled 'Alden's Amazing Life Review', so I can understand why you're confused.

But, Alden is still playing Roblox, and has been playing a LOT of 'Fight for Survival', which we will probably do a review of pretty soon.

But here's the deal... if you want something more than streaming games and actuall...

Wow!  An episode turnaround faster than 10 months!  I would be proud of me since no one else will be. 🙂

We’re recording another episode either today or tomorrow, but this was last Saturday since Tyler and Alden tried out the mods. They *kind of* worked, and got me to leave putting mods on manually and just use Modman with all its crashing… but at least it has profiles.

By the way, do you play Cookie Clicker? We’ve only ascended o...

Man, this place is super dusty.  Where are the light switches?

Yep, it’s been 10 long months since we put anything up on the podcast.  I guess when it came to overproducing episodes and having 6-8 recordings in the hopper, all enthusiasm for getting it done went out the window… that and getting the house in order.

This time around, we’re doing weekly recordings where we give updates on what’s go...

At this point, I have to treat these podcast episodes like music album releases. They take a long time to produce for one person, and I just can't churn them out fast enough. So, consider them quarterly installments from this point forward until something changes in our collective schedules here. 😁

Anyhoo, we're back with our 50th episode! Alden and his best friend Wish join a couple of our cohorts on Discord (Jester and ...

Greetings from the hot state of Texas!

This release will be a short, review only episode, with the bigger one coming later in August.  This one didn’t require thirty thousand years of production, though my microphone cut out right when we started recording.  As such, you’ll see me boosting the audio in post-production and hear me hitting our stupid Yamaha sound board with a pool noodle just to get it working properly.

In the meanti...

Well hello there!

We've successfully figured out a way to release an episode shorter than six months. In involves recording the entire thing and then doing 40-60 seconds to edit it every day. The end result is an episode so overproduced and filled with sound effects that I could probably post 20+ clips on social media. Hell, I don't even remember what the beginning of the episode even sounds like at this point.

But rest ass...

Well, well well... it only took six months to get this episode done! At this rate, we should hit 100 episodes by the time Alden is 24 years old. That or I can make a million dollars and start doing this full time. Or get an entire production team to make it happen. Maybe both?

Anyway... in this episode, we get into Silent Library, STARR tests that are currently happening for reading, math and science (which Alden is rather stressed...

I guess we're at a 'once a month' pace of sending these out, which is fine.  With Alden's school in full-swing, there may be time to do additional episodes... but no promises.  My terrible track record speaks for itself. 😁

In this episode, we talk about Alden's friend who seems to be going a bit nuts, Battle Cats seeding, our new dog and finally, a third venture into everyone's favorite game... Tower Defense Simulator wi...

Well it's been a LONG time hasn't it? :D

The explanation is simple.  Alden was simply enjoying his summer break and I was busy making sure he was enjoying summer break.  We did actually record two other episodes but I haven't had any time to produce them (see the above about being with Alden on summer break).  So, there are more coming.  But for now, know that we're back and we'll be releasing more episodes in t...

Hi all!

I was really thinking about publishing this episode a couple of years from now, given how long you've had to wait for this one.  But good news!  It's coming out today, and future episodes will be only featuring some aspect of what we do (reviews, daily updates, game reviews, etc.).  I won't try to lump them into the same episode anymore, since this one took me NINE CUMULATIVE DAYS to edit and a whole month to...

Hi everyone! 👋

Well, I tried.  I know a lot of you are wanting episodes every week, but there's always something stopping that from happening.  Whether it's Spring Break or yours truly going haywire with all the production sound effects and features in every episode, there's always a culprit.  We'll get the hang of it sooner or later. 😁

For now, Alden and I try out the endless number generator known as 'Clicker Sim...

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 w...

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 o...

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 as...

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 ...

Helllooooo!!!!

We had another one of those long delays from publishing an episode due to Thanksgiving break, things breaking in the house, giant serpents on the walking trails, cold weather, warm weather and other lame excuses.

We recorded this episode about three weeks ago.  So when we refer to Veterans Day, it's going to seem a bit like a time warp.  We do have another episode coming up that's already recorded, but I ha...

Hi all!

We're still surfing the 'golden oldies' section and revisiting Wizard Tycoon 2 from an earlier online broadcast on YouTube and Twitch.  We both enjoy it for the team building, wands, brooms and potions you can get while you build up your castle.

And now, a story of betrayal... 😔

So here I am, starting to build a castle in Wizard Tycoon 2 with my son Alden, having a good time... when all of a sudden, he leaves...

Helllllo everybody!

We're a bit late with publishing our 'post-halloween' episode, as we just recorded another podcast this evening.  Nevertheless, we get into our costumes, how we terrified small children everywhere in our neighborhood and get into the goings-on happening at school.  Oh, and Henry Stickmin too. 😁

And for some weird reason, iTunes temporarily removed a bunch of our ratings and reviews over the past two y...
