In honor of recent and upcoming holidays like Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, in this episode of The Pizza Pixel Podcast, brother Jeff and I talk about our parents and stepparents favorite video games! We even have a special guest for part of the podcast, our mom! Please click on the link and check it out if you can!
In the comments section, let me know your parents favorite video games! And if your parents are still around, or if you have any other parental figures you know, be sure to thank them, give them a hug, and tell them you love them! Thanks for listening!
And speaking of parents, I was wondering if you all could pray for my mom and me again. She recently went to her oncologist for her regular tests and they found elevated elements in her blood that could possibly be tumors. Now, it may not be as bad as it sounds, as these kinds of tests have false positives all the time. And the fact that she was just recently sick can mess with her blood tests as well. And they’re not even going to have her come back to do more tests for another three months, so that’s a lot of hope right there. But when I first heard that news, all the anxieties I had when she first had breast cancer came flooding back, and I got worried again. So please pray that it was just a false positive test. Thanks! --Cary
I was wondering if it was easy to create a written transcript of your podcast since I'm having trouble finding time to listen to them.
My parents never played video games. My dad was into getting them for us kids though as he was always curious about the latest tech. Once I got him to play Monopoly with me on the Sega Genesis. He fell asleep half way through it though. My Mom says she plays some Candy Crush on her phone, but I've never seen her actually play it.
Praying for your mom. My mom had a similar scare a few years back but all's well now.
I do write an outline of my podcast before recording so I know what to say, but it's just a few words and bulletpoints to help remind me. So if you read those it would probably sound like a caveman talking. Plus after I finish a podcast I toss them out anyway.
I try to keep my podcasts under an hour. Most clock in at around 45 to 50 minutes. So if you could find the time for that, it would be great. And thanks for the prayers!
I used to listen to so many podcasts when I had my iPod. Maybe I'll get my phone to do the same.
I use my iPad and IPhone to listen to podcasts. It's super easy.
My dad hated video games and made disparaging remarks about me playing them in the 1980s. But when he retired, he really got into PC gaming, especially as his health declined and he couldn't do outdoor stuff.
My mom, on the other hand, got into computer and video gaming pretty early on. She liked Centipede and this Sierra Online game called Oil's Well the most. We'd try to beat each other's scores. She also liked Tetris on the Game Boy.
When CD-ROM drives first came out for computers, they both played through The 7th Guest and Myst together I was busy playing A Link to the Past and FF6 at the time.
Yeah since I like video games so much, I hate it when people say bad things about them. Even if they are sometimes right. :)
