My son Alden likes Roblox (and gaming in general). In this podcast, I interview him on what he likes, doesn't like, and what he recommends everyone play (and avoid).

AARR #54 - The Last Group Discussion Type Podcast + A Failed Doors2 Stream
Hi all!
We're ending our 'life-update' series of podcasts with this episode, primarily for two reasons.
The audio has been a nightmare to record with two kids being 67 miles away from a microphone and forgetting they have to actually speak into it.
Being mentally challenged when it comes to actually commenting on a game and what's going on.
That last one was a killer. RIght after we recorded this episode, we *attempted* to do a live stream of Doors 2, with Geek joining through Discord. And saying we 'attempted' to record was being incredibly gracious.
When I opened the recording to work on it, I realized that the audio from the game wasn't captured at all. That occurred during the first Doors episode we recorded a while back, and I literally had to re-create over 90 minutes of audio from the game that took a few years off my life.
Even worse, Geek's trash microphone was cutting in and out of Discord. He also was yelling into the mic, which sounded like a bunch of white noise half the time. Luckily it was on a different audio track, so I could simply remove it from the show, but then...
Both Alden and Wish were literally brain dead during the recording. Beyond reacting do what they were seeing on the screen, nothing was being described, explained or explored. Plus, shouting at Geek half the time made it just as confusing for the listener who didn't have a video to work from.
And I figured all this out after I had created a pretty cool intro using the AI voice of David Attenborough and the rain effects that come from the beginning of the game. Spend a day on it, and opened the source audio file looking to work on it. I gave up after ten minutes.
SO, we're going back to Alden and I having a conversation and playing a game together so that if he completely checks out mentally and just grunts at the visuals on the screen, I've got you covered.
And that episode is already recorded and done. I just have to produce it, which should be infinitely more easier than that garbage recording I was confronted with last week.
Anyway, hope you're enjoying yourself and getting ready for Halloween. And if you're in the US and have registered to vote, VOTE! 🇺🇸

Btw, our Discord has devolved into about three people sharing memes. Alden visits to see who he can play with, so if you seen him there, spam him with emojis. You have my permission since he never reads these.

AARR #53 - Wish's obsession with Geek, Halloween Plans and Fun Facts
I know, I know... these aren't the 40-60 minute episodes you're used to, and the podcast isn't titled 'Alden's Amazing Life Review', so I can understand why you're confused.
But, Alden is still playing Roblox, and has been playing a LOT of 'Fight for Survival', which we will probably do a review of pretty soon.
But here's the deal... if you want something more than streaming games and actually an episode in the style of what they used to be, I'm going to have to open up a Patreon to justify it.
If there's not enough people willing to donate, then we're sticking with updates and the occasional review when time allows. Wish it were different, but offline responsibilities are priority and spending 30-40 hours a week on an episode is something that I just don't have time for at the moment.
But if you’d just like to watch, check out the AARR YouTube Channel. We stream every weekend.

And if you'd like to join our dead chat Discord where no one seems to be around, you're more than welcome to. I go there lots, but Alden tends to just come if he knows his school friends are there. And don’t forget, you get an incredibly fun free gift... a lucky day of your choosing:

AARR #52 - Cookie Clicker, Lethal Company #60 and Custom Birthday Cards
Wow! An episode turnaround faster than 10 months! I would be proud of me since no one else will be. 🙂 We’re recording another episode either today or tomorrow, but this was last Saturday since Tyler and Alden tried out the mods. They *kind of* worked, and got me to leave putting mods on manually and just use Modman with all its crashing… but at least it has profiles.
By the way, do you play Cookie Clicker? We’ve only ascended once and we’re up to nonillions of cookies. It’s insane. Oh, we’re also collecting cats in Battle Cats, but Alden doesn’t play it anymore. He’s more interested in building maps in Geometry Dash and watching other people work on YouTube during his downtime. He’s also built a Flood Escape 2 map that he completed but I don’t think anyone is playing.
Beyond what’s here, Alden and I have been going on Flag Wars servers and attempting to wipe out the entire team and make them quit. I know, it sounds bad, but you have people who are like 417 level and need to touch some grass and see what Earth is like outside. So we feel like we’re doing a public service when we’re decimating these “pros” with snipers and 300 bullet machine guns. Come find us and you can join us in domination.
But if you’d just like to watch, check out the AARR YouTube Channel. We stream every weekend.
