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 an…

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 Y…

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 w…

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 …

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 t…

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, k…

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…

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…

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.…

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…

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 ou…

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 …

Hi there!Another two weeks and another episode is done. I might as well just make these holiday themed episodes since I seem to get one done every time one comes around. Next month (January 2022) will be my birthday! 🎉🎂 In this episode, we review Polyblast, aka Polybattle. Well, we said Polyblast so many times that the developers need to reconsider…

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 war…

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 wit…

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 te…

Hi all! This week, we get into Piggy, Book 2... based on a suggestion from "lol" on our Anchor Q&A. We had some other games to check out, but this one was an impromptu choice to roll with. It's a game we've played before, but was fully updated with a new chapter and different game options last year. And while the title of this podcast suggests that…

By request, we dive into the world of Minecraft! ⛏ Alden and I have been playing on Minecraft for just under two years and have been gaming on it for a while. We've created roller coasters, mine cart tracks that extended for 6000+ blocks, etc. In this episode, we just open up a new world in Standard mode and narrate what we are doing at the time. S…

You suggested, and we listened (and played). We took a review suggestion for the second time and had a bit of nostalgic fun with Weight Lifting Simulator (as we played it long ago). Lots of interesting stuff involving rebirths and new levels, along with Alden getting his 'Super Cyan' glow as he moved up the strength ranks. Overall, a decent game, b…

All last week, Alden was browsing for a few new games to play after his Bloxburg experience from last week. He stumbled upon Doomspire Brickbattle and started playing it a LOT. I could hear him giggling and laughing from the upstairs media room when I was down in the kitchen taking care of after-dinner stuff. Needless to say, he likes it a lot. 😁 W…

Alden insisted I call this episode 'Bloxburg is Dumb', and I have to agree. It was one of the most underwhelming experiences we've ever had playing a Roblox game. No offense to the game developers or the fans of the game... but it sucked. It felt like someone's student project in Roblox Studio with pay gates applied to everything. It was trying to …

We're nearly a week away from getting back into things with Roblox (hopefully). Until then, it's one more episode focused on Alden's updates and his love of books. It's mostly me going into detail about everything he reads and how much he's read (which is a LOT). If you have book suggestions, do send them my way. Until then, I'll be raiding the loc…

This week, Alden and I get into his experiences with going to in-person school in Texas during COVID-19 Death Season. He goes through a typical day, his 'nutty' best friend and farts occasionally. We read off a few reviews that have come in for the past week as well. We also have a new email address! You can send in your topic and game requests as …

Yep, you heard right. I finally convinced my son to start recording again and talking about Roblox, Battle Cats, Minecraft and amazing review names like TacoPoopBlast. 🤪 Alden should be back and streaming on Roblox in a few weeks, but we'll have a few audio-only episodes coming up where we talk about gaming, school life, and random topics in a jar.…

I was trying to figure out some Roblox games that Alden's friend Srihan (who doesn't play video games... he's more into nature) could play with him. So, we fell back on some of the classics Alden used to play when he was much younger. So, we're featuring both Natural Disaster Survival and the newly redesigned Epic Mini Games. Btw, I neglected to tu…

My son often looks at what his Roblox friends are playing to get started with new games. Blox Hunt was one of them. It's an interesting approach to a hide-and-seek game, where you can disguise yourself as an object (and run around when you get caught as one). Besides defining what a hider and a seeker was (over and over and over again), we did mana…

Here's another favorite of Alden's that he's been playing a lot of... Deathrun. Since I'm terrible at the game, I spend more time describing the waiting area than I do the actual gameplay. All the same, he shows no mercy when he's the trap master, and almost survives a solo performance towards the end. Hope you enjoy it. :) ----- If you'd like to c…

We're finally on YouTube! While our podcast has been going on for about a half a year, we finally made the transition to streaming video. But man, those files are gigantic to upload. You can view our new channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHzlNzZHvs_dYw5tbPPHm4g Anyway, we get into Legends of Speed... a really fun game with a lot of eas…

From last week's nightmarish experience with the Zomboss slide, we totally lose it and keep playing the highly addictive Broken Bones IV. Some of it is explaining the game, while the rest of it is marveling how our Roblox characters crush and break nearly every ligament and bone in their bodies. Hope you enjoy it. :) --- Send in a voice message: ht…

Not too long ago, a glitchy but very humorous game was on Roblox. The physics were off, things would crash and break apart without warning, and many of the vehicles were usable at best. All in all, we had a blast playing it. Fast forward to this week, and the original authors of Dr. Zombie's Slime Slide have corrected a lot of those glitches. While…

This is easily the longest podcast we've every recorded, all for a single game. Balloon Simulator was a Roblox game we explored at length, with color commentary from Alden all the way through. It's worth noting that Alden eventually became a godzillionaire after just playing the game for two days. Hope you enjoy the podcast! --- Send in a voice mes…

We're back for a series of brand new episodes of Alden's Amazing Roblox Review! But, before we get into the games, Alden had his good friend Srihan K. over who was visiting from Richardson, Texas. Alden and Srihan talk about Srihan's favorite activities, his love for karate, the kind of food and drinks he likes, and other topics. We also get into A…

We were off for a week (it was Daddy's fault), and we're back with Speed Race. It's a bit of a deceptive game, where it rewards you with speed but you'll likely finish if you take your time. It's breakneck pace was pretty fun to play, and it was monetized to the max. It was kind of sad. Bonus is that you hear Alden meowing like a cat for no particu…

We're taking a break from reviewing Roblox games to find out what y'all have been writing about us on iTunes. Most of you have been very kind, but the majority of the reviews left us wondering. We do appreciate the honesty though! Feel free to leave reviews in the future, and we'll be more than happy to include them in a future podcast, be they bad…

WHAT??!? Not a Roblox game??? Yep, we're going off the reservation and showcasing a simple online game that we've gotten quite good at. It's Hole-IO, where you basically have everything fall into you for points. As mentioned on the podcast, find the parks, swallow the smaller buildings within the first minute, and you're set to dominate. If you hav…

Have you ever played a Roblox game that blatantly defies the laws of physics? Well, probably all of them. But THIS one allows you to control a cubical boulder that grabs skyscrapers, moon landers, bridges and smash other boulders. That's right, it's Boulder Simulator. Alden and I have been playing this game for a few months. Pro Tip: Once you can g…

Alden and I give Car Crushers 2 a go, and mostly end up trying to crash into one another by the time all was said and done. There was a lot to explore, and I think we may have gotten to a small percentage of what the game had in it. Overall, this was a very well done game... but hardly anyone to play with anywhere. Need to make those billion dollar…

While uploading this episode to start the new year, I just discovered that Roblox took this particular game offline for review. So you can't play it, and you'll have to suffer my person explaining the details of the game. The only redeeming part of this podcast is when my son somehow jettisons me off the world a couple of times. All the same, welco…

I couldn’t peel away Alden from playing his Nintendo Switch with his friend from next door. So, here’s a quick 2 minute segment wishing you and yours a happy holiday. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aarr/message

It's Sunday morning, and we just finished eating the blueberry pancakes we made for brunch. While I'm cleaning up, I hear him yell "DAD I'M A BILLIONAIRE!!!", along with a lot of singing and chanting. I roll up with my computer, and we both end up recording our first impressions of Billionaire Simulator.In case you ever play this game in the future…

We're taking it live again with Blox Adventures, a stylistic looking obby game where the breathtaking graphics are probably lost on my son. The thing he's fixated on is how to get down those darnfalnaggled fan shafts without breaking apart 30+ times. I tried those out too and was getting equally frustrated.So we do a relatively light overview of th…

Alden was seriously having issues paying attention to the podcast while playing "Work at a Pizza Place". It's probably the most edited version of the podcast to date.We're going to have to figure out how to get his attention so he doesn't zone into moving virtual boxes into pizza supply delivery trucks. There's always hope next episode.--- Send in …

We're back after a two week holiday break (that's the official version... truth is we taped a couple of shows but Alden wasn't into it). We're busting out with Slimulator, another variation of Bee Swarm, Pet Simulator, etc type of game.Alden will make sure you understand every person on the leaderboard in the game. In fact, he goes through literall…

Alden and I are sick with seasonal colds. If you can make it through hearing sniffles, coughing and the grossness of wiping boogers on the couch, you'll enjoy this one. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aarr/message

Alden invited his friend Zoe onto the podcast and we ended up talking about her favorite game Minecraft. Yep, it's not a Roblox game, but the cute factor is off the charts on this short one.I type short, because it looks like I have a short in either a microphone, cable, or audio intake device. Going to have to investigate before our next episode. …

With a failed recording at hand, Alden and Daddy had to improvise to get this episode out the door. The end result was a recording session over vegetable soup, talking about Hide and Seek Extreme. We even recorded bonus footage of a fart beat. Yeah, we were being silly.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aarr/messag…

Since the first version of Flood Escape still has appeal AND gets a considerable amount of traffic to this day, Alden decided to feature it in another live podcast. He drifts a bit on this one, so his review will probably be a bit spacey. Enjoy!--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aarr/message…

We're experimenting with this episode and having Alden talk about Flood Escape 2 while he's playing it. He's a little distracted at times, but a lot more animated. This is also a fart-free episode, for once.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aarr/message

In this episode, Alden reviews one of the originals of Roblox gaming madness - Epic Minigames. We cover our favorite maps, how we work as a team, and more farting. Also, there's a secret that he doesn't want his mom to know about in this episode. Keep it between us, okay?--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aarr/mess…

My son's heavy deep into Pet Simulator on Roblox. GravyCatman's to blame (partly), but he's been having a lot of fun with it. We talk about how Alden's been helping me out as a noob, and other aspects of the game he likes. Also, farts.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aarr/message…
