Well since it’s been so long since I posted anything here, I thought I’d write a blog just to let you all know I’m still alive and fill you in on what I’ve been up to lately. I haven’t written a game review in a while. It’s just such a SLOW time right now as far as game releases go. I think it’s just because E3 is right around the corner, so game companies aren’t going to announce anything or release anything new for a while.
Video Game Breakfast Cereals
Posted on May 13th, 2011 by
The other day I played a trick on my mom. I nearly convinced her that they had just made a Portal breakfast cereal, due to the popularity of Portal 2. I said the cereal had blue rings and orange rings just like the portals in the game, and the box had the two co-op robots holding the bowl and spoon! But it got me to thinking about video game based breakfast cereals I remember as a kid, so I thought that in this blog, I’d go over the ones I can recall. So get out your bowl, spoon, and milk, and let’s begin!
Cary’s Favorite Video Game Villains
Posted on April 14th, 2011 by
In less than a week as of this writing, one of the most highly anticipated sequels of this game generation will be released. And while I’m looking forward to the creative puzzle action gameplay of Portal 2, honestly what I can’t wait to see and hear is the hilarious shenanigans of Portal’s antagonist: the evil computer GlaDOS. GlaDOS quickly became one of my favorite video game villains after playing the first Portal, and that got me to thinking about other great video game bad guys. So in this blog, I’m going to list my favorite video game villains.

With the upcoming launch of the 3DS in the US, I wanted to take a look back at my favorite games on the DS now that the handheld is in its twilight years.

For the Children
Posted on March 16th, 2011 by
GamerDad is only about politics when it comes to the Right (Think of the Children!) or the Left (Nanny State!) as they pertain to children and media. But I am also a child advocate and while I agree and disagree with both sides of the political aisle, I’m especially alarmed by the GOP budget. Specifically in how it cuts aid to the poor and children. Are you curious about how this can affect you? Well, I’ll let the Children’s Leadership Council fill you in:
