Well hello there! I don’t like to toot our own horn too often, but this may be the best episode of Nerds Without Pants of the year. Is Stage Select a banger? Not even close. Is Video Game Cage Match one for the record books? Fraid not. But Consumption Junction is a blast, and hopefully you think so, too!
I dipped my foot in a lot of games over the July 4th break. I was still on my random kick but also played some for rewards points, some gladly so. I have to admit, I have been using streaming in order to get Game Pass rewards points on games I mostly don't want to play. I only had to start them for the points anyway. Anyhow, here are the barrel-full of games I played.
Here’s some more game reviews I’ve written in the month of June 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 let’s begin!
A whole lot, but not really because some I just looked at or played a short time. Still, a good long list. Here we go.
I remember playing Dungeons & Dragons way back when. My favorite part was creating tables of random encounters. You'd list a dozen beasties and their frequency of appearing and then roll some dice at specific intervals to see what might appear. I loved that. So I thought I'd apply randomization to my backlog and any games I've missed that I should experience.
Recently I revisited What Remains of Edith Finch, a game I played at least a year ago because it came up in the weekly Game Pass challenges. By playing through the first "chapter" for the rewards, I was reminded how much I enjoyed this short game.
Let’s start 2022 off right with some reviews I’ve written recently at GamerDad.com. Please click on the reviews and read as many as you like, and maybe even post a ‘like’ or comment or two. I’d appreciate it. OK let’s begin!
Another year down! What? You don't want to talk about 2021? Can't say I blame you. How about games? First we'll take a look at the games I beat and bought and then we'll move onto the Golden Hippo Awards!
It's been quite a year! I played a ton of games this year, and there were plenty of games that I wanted to play that I didn't get to (too many games!). Some of those games will roll over into next year. For 2021, I beat a total of 25 games! Instead of talking about all of those, I'll just highlight the ones I really enjoyed this year and after that, I'll tell you my personal Game of the Year. So here are the games I beat this year that I really loved.
Another year of gaming comes to an end. I guess it was kind of a sleepy year for games if you like big tentpole titles, but I honestly found plenty to play. Almost all of my gaming was done on Switch, which is set to pass both the Wii and PS1 in total install base by the end of the year. I didn't really bother pursuing the PS5 or the XSX|S this year, as there isn't a lot on those systems to justify a purchase.
Boy this has been one roller coaster of a year, with lots of ups and downs. But it’s the end of the year so you know what that means? It’s time for my “Best Games of 2021 Awards Show!” 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!
Merry Christmas everyone! I’ve got some presents for you! Game reviews I’ve recently written at GamerDad.com! Just what you always wanted! Please click on the links and read as many reviews as you can, and maybe post some ‘likes’ and comments, too! I’d appreciate it. And in the comments section, give me a pretend present and I’ll give you one, too! It’s the thought that counts…literally!
Is it modes or moods, I'm not sure, but I had two modes I was in today. One was the mode of chasing after rewards points, the other was playing any old-school-looking turn-based RPG I could find on Xbox's Game Pass.
I’ve cooked you all up a Thanksgiving feast of game reviews I’ve written lately over at GamerDad.com. You’ll get all nice and fat after reading these! Please read as many as you can and maybe post a ‘like’ or comment or two. I’d appreciate it. OK, let’s dig in!
BOO! No tricks! Just treats in the form of 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 few ‘likes’ or comments if possible. I’d appreciate it. OK let’s begin!
I’d like to say this year’s been better than the last, but it really hasn’t. Even though it’s improved, we’re still having to deal with a lot of COVID crap. And then we found out my mom had breast cancer late last year and we had to deal with the surgeries this year. Luckily she’s cancer free now, which is a miraculous and wonderful thing, and I thank God everyday for that. But man it sure was rough for a couple of months there. You have no idea. But anyway, 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!
After over a month of not recording, the Nerds Without Pants are back with a new episode! Unfortunately, this episode was cursed, and there are a lot of technical issues that we tried our best to fix in post. Also, this one goes off the rails and stays that way the entire time thanks to Friend Of The Show and Podcast Saboteur Mike Fallek. Strap in, because...dang.
Hey dudes! I’ve got some totally radical and gnarly game reviews I’ve written recently over at GamerDad.com. And a majority of them happen to have an 80’s theme! It would be righteous to the max if you could click on the links and read as many reviews as you can and maybe post a ‘like’ or comment or two. I’d appreciate it. Oh and for the record, I never talked like that as a kid in the 80’s I think the only people who did were on television.
