I was right in the middle of High School when my parents bought their first home computer, the Apple IIc in 1984. I was 17.
I had a friend down the street from my house whose family got the ColecoVision in 1982. The neighborhood kids and I would, with exceeding excitement, go there to play it. I was 15.
I didn't own this back in 1980 when it came to the U.S., but my next door neighbor had one. I spent a lot of time over there playing with him and all the other 13 year old kids that came over.
The Atari Video Comupter System, as it was first called (and thereafter the Atari 2600), was a system my dad bought, Christmas 1978. I was 11.
Tune the wayback machine to 1978 and my first LED handheld game made by Mattel Electronics. All the neighborhood kids had one of these things: either baseball, football, basketball or hockey. There was even a soccer one, but I never played that, I was a baseball fan.
So, it's another February and another BaD. I've never been able to keep up with BaD, though I've always been able to contribute something.
We’ve talked about Pokémon a lot in previous podcasts. In fact, I’ve even said we could do a whole podcast about Pokémon. Well, this is that podcast! All my brothers were really into Pokémon when they were kids, but none so much as Jeff, so he’s with me again for this one. Please click on the link and give it a listen if you can. I’d appreciate it.
Remember Radio Shack? It was an electronics store that is now mostly defunct, but they were everywhere back in the 70s when my father bought Pong for us kids, Christmas, 1976.
I've planned on doing something. It's a challenge I always look forward to. I hope I won't be the only one, but no pressure.
After ejoying Halo Infinite's open world exploration, I decided that was one of my favorite things in games, and so I dug up an old series to get back into, Just Cause.
All done with Halo Infinite. I wasn't too thrilled with returning to Ratchet & Clank for some reason, and so I started clicking the "surprise me" button within the sort drop-down menu in my digital library on Xbox. Here was the result.
I took a few short breaks from Halo Infinite, but my friend and I keep finding more things to do in it.
During my temporary work layoff, I've sometimes visited a museum or game store/arcade. Here's the story in pictures.
My friend and I got back into Halo Infinite now that it has full campaign co-op. Maybe that got added a few months ago or even earlier, but we're into it now.
Wake up early and pour a bowl of your favorite sugary cereal as we look at more games I’ve recently reviewed at GamerDad.com. A lot of the games on this batch were Saturday Morning cartoons at one point, or at least look like they could be. But then, most games I review are probably like that. Anyway, please click on the links and read as many reviews as you can, and maybe even post a ‘like’ or comment or two. I’d appreciate it. And now it’s back to the show!
Hello everyone, I'm sorry I've been away for so long. It's been a crazy two years, and part of that is I had to take some time to myself to sort out my brain.
My friend and I got hooked on Crackdown 3 again and discovered some new features and achievements to explore.
