I watched the trailer for Farming Simulator 25 where hikers are taking selfies in front of modern harvesting machines and then racing them across fields. Nerds! Haha. I'm okay with my cartoony jeep in Farm Together 2. I've tried the Farm Sims before and they are mondo complexido. I love farming but not that much.
It's amazing to me the difference when you are totally absorbed by a game. Time just flies by and everything else around you just vanishes in importance. I'm not thinking about switching games, or taking a break or anything like that, it's just Farm Together 2 as much as possible.
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!
Lots of stuff this week, but it all comes down to Farm Together 2, which will be my friend and mine's obsession for the coming weeks.
Let’s take a road trip with stops along the way to read game reviews I’ve recently written over at GamerDad.com! Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe post a ‘like’ or comment or two. I’d appreciate it. OK let’s roll out!
The dreaded stealth gameplay got to me again in several new games I tried out this week. But I finished Doom Dark Ages, discovered some new Atari games, and got sucked into an old classic again.
We hit a big milestone with our podcast! It’s our 25th episode! Come celebrate with us as brother Jeff and I talk about our favorite things to do together over the years.

I dabbled a bit in 360 games and Switch too. Check 'em out.
I got a box of donuts for everyone here, and they’re all filled with 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, dig in!
I'm all over the place lately. I'm trying to do games set in the 50s and keep up with the new stuff. I eventually just reduced it all to playing the largest files size games first on my hard drive. It's all a mess now, but I'm having fun, so I guess it's all good. Here's the sloppy story.
Game maker Capcom is known for lots of things, like Mega Man, Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, etc. But probably what they are known best for is their large roster of fighting games, such as Street Fighter. They did a collection of them a few years ago, plus one last year that had all their Marvel games on it. And now they’ve got another one with even more fighters! So let’s take a look at the games on this collection.
My June theme, continuing my traipse through history, is the 1950s. I'm finally down to a single decade a month until the end of the year. With regards video games, since no video games were made, unless you count Tennis for Two on an oscilloscope in 1958 - and who wants to play what is basically proto-pong (new band name found), I'll have to go with trying to match anything 50s related in modern video games. This is my first list of titles.
I'm on a kind of staycation this week. I made some real life journeys to NYC and some virtual ones to WWI France, a fanciful place called Teyvat, baseball land, and Marvel's NYC.
New game reviews I’ve recently written are blooming over at GamerDad.com, so here’s a bouquet of them for you. Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe post a ‘like’ or comment or two I’d appreciate it. OK let’s begin!
My new plan is to roughly follow my reading plan. This month I'm reading from the years 1900-1949. The games just have to be related to the period in some way. So this blog is about my week's plays and some new pickups.
Sorry I've been AWOL. Getting back in the swing of things working full time at the park and not part time at the pet store is always a bit exhausting. Anyway, I'm back. This is going to be a short update, because I'm tired and I need to get up early.
I'm kinda not doing the turn-based rpg thing anymore. I've pivoted to a new plan, but I'll mention that after my progress report on Friday's gaming.
Hey folks, I was a guest on another episode of the cartoon podcast my friends do. This time they talked about Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers, which is one of my favorite cartoons. So I’m glad they had me on for the ride! This one turned out pretty well, I think, so please give it a listen if you can! Thanks!
I got another day, maybe, but I got a weird work schedule again this week and so am here recalling the day and half I spent so far.
So I'm trying to stick to the years 1995 to 1999 as the core of Console Generation 5, but it is often that i get tired of the retro and just do a genre search for the latest RPGS and see what I can play for free or cheaply.
Platforming. The thing I most often complain about in gaming. It seems the most natural game design, though, especially for kids because it's just basically what they do when let outside: run, jump, climb, explore and make up stunts to pull off. I was one of those kids.
