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 Yamaha sound board with a pool noodle just to get it working properly. In the meantime, we go through reviews… kind of.  At the time of the recording, iTunes was doing its usual glitch-fest and decided to randomize all of the reviews we’ve ever gotten, all the way back to 2019!  We went with it and reflected on our time during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as a few reviews we had never seen before.  Hopefully if we do this again, we won’t run into this sort of nonsense. So, a brief upload before starting production on a rather involved 2 hour gaming session with Alden and his friend Wish (previously Romo).  Looking forward to swimming through that soup of ‘what are they talking about?’ kind of thing. And while you’re trying to listen to me talk through a tunnel on this episode, feel free to click on the link below for some random banter about memes, fan art and a tree bot that we occasionally water from time to time: &gt;&gt; Join the AARR Discord and get a lucky day for FREE!:  https://discord.gg/fTHrhg758W  ----- Feel free to give us a review on iTunes or email us your game suggestions and/or Roblox stories at alden (at) aldengaming.com.  We'll take time to read them on an upcoming podcast. &gt;&gt; Leave us a review on iTunes!:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/aldens-amazing-roblox-review/id1436553910 ----- Thanks again to Jester's for giving us an image to post for our review episode!  I’m still waiting for you to try an AI image generator.  I think our Discord will be saturated with experiments when he does.

AARR #49 - iTunes Reviews from 1834 (or whenever we started podcasting)

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 what the beginning of the episode even sounds like at this point. But rest assured, you're going to get plenty of Item Asylum play-by-play in this episode. Whether it's Jester rambling about everything and anything to Romo speaking thirty feet away from the microphone, we have you covered. Oh, and YouSawNothing and Tyson join with two dollar microphones crammed into their armpits as they shout over everyone during some pretty active game play. One last thing... the sound effects you're going to hear in this episode are taken from a wide variety of games. The audio clips are also from a wide variety of movies and TV shows.  As a result, I've probably put this podcast in jeopardy with the sheer amount of copyright violations I may have committed (I really don't know).  But I'm sure Jester yelling 'COPYRIGHT' over and over again has cleared me of any wrong doing. By the way, if you've been listening to this podcast for the 3+ years we've been publishing our stuff and you still haven't joined our Discord, you're doing yourself a disservice.

AARR #48 - 💀 Item Asylum 💀 with Jester, Romo, YouSawNothing and Tyson, Dallas Library and Vacation Plans for the Summer

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 are currently happening for reading, math and science (which Alden is rather stressed about), essays about trampoline safety and substitute teachers, teaching Alden to pursue his interests and the end of Battle Cats (yep, Alden's done with it). Then, we meet up with Romo and play a few rounds of Flee the Facility! Apparently, I can't find a computer to hack to save my life (literally). We're still active on Discord whenever Alden isn't completely immersed on his Switch with the newest Mario Rabbids.

AARR #47 - 🔨 Flee The Facility! 🔨  with Romo, STARR tests and elaborate essays about substitute teachers 😁

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 third venture into everyone's favorite game... Tower Defense Simulator with all the new updates, graphics and frustrating nerfing that the developers seem to be doing with every tower unit they scrutinize.  Special thanks to Tyson for joining and playing with us for another episode! Finally, we've been popping into the Discord every so often.  Yes, there are the usual postings of 'dead chat' and non-activity, but dems da breaks.  It usually consists of Alden asking if anyone is on voice chat to get a game going, and that's it.  I started a Battle Cats channel and have been posting some custom game videos there.  If you want to take a peek, you know what to do: &gt;&gt; Join the AARR Discord and get a lucky day for FREE!:https://discord.gg/fTHrhg758W ----- Feel free to give us a review on iTunes or email us your game suggestions and/or Roblox stories at alden (at) aldengaming.com.  We'll take time to read them on our podcast. &gt;&gt; Leave us a review on iTunes!:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/aldens-amazing-roblox-review/id1436553910 ----- We'll see you in a month or so.  Hopefully sooner than 30 days.  Post interesting (but child friendly) memes in the Discord to remind me to publish.  It helps. 😁 Oh, and by the way... a nice little 'Heya Hiya!' to Oli Down Under.  Thanks for listening to our show every so often.  Hope you are doing well. :)--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aarr/message

AARR #46 - ♜ Tower Defense Simulator ♜, Part 3 w/Tyson + Battle Cats seeding tricks and a new dog! 🐶

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, know that we're back and we'll be releasing more episodes in the near future.  And I know we haven't been hanging out in the Discord as much, but apparently the time zones for Australia and Dallas are not compatible with one another.  That and we only seem to be able to come on at 8:00 pm at night to game for 30 minutes.  But hey, at least we message back. Speaking of which, why not pop by our Discord for five minutes and never come back to it again?  It's fun! 😁👍 &gt;&gt; Join the AARR Discord and get a lucky day for FREE!:https://discord.gg/fTHrhg758W ----- Feel free to give us a review on iTunes or email us your game suggestions and/or Roblox stories at alden (at) aldengaming.com.  We'll take time to read them on our podcast. &gt;&gt; Leave us a review on iTunes!:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/aldens-amazing-roblox-review/id1436553910 ----- Thanks for being patient with us during our 16 billion year hiatus.  Hope you enjoy the episode, and we'll see you in the next millennia!--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aarr/message

AARR #45 - WHERE HAVE WE BEEN?!?! - San Diego Trip, BC Updates, Live Draws and Cuss-Fest

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 this one took me NINE CUMULATIVE DAYS to edit and a whole month to find time to work on it.  I think I'm done with mega-episodes like this. 😁  As this was recorded in February when Alden was sick with a cold (not COVID-19, thank goodness), we talked about all the birthday parties he had been going to, top 10 facts about Victoria, Australia, his new found powers of being a Discord admin and a bit of Battle Cats updates here and there (since Alden wanted to keep it short... 😅)  We also went through Pet Simulator X, a game that Alden and I played quite a bit of a couple of years ago.  A lot has been updated in the game (for better and for worse) and we explore it all.  Well, I talk a lot about it and Alden does all the playing.  You know... the usual way we do things. You can play Pet Simulator X right here:  https://web.roblox.com/games/6284583030/EVENT-Pet-Simulator-X Special thanks to LuvsMinecraft for joining us on this episode and giving his perspective.  I also have a special easter egg for him at the end of the show that I'm not sure he'll like or not like... but we're going to find out! 😎  Finally, be sure to come find us on our Discord channel.  One of us is always hanging out, and who knows... you might just game with us on our next podcast! 👾. &gt;&gt; Join the AARR Discord and get a lucky day for FREE!:https://discord.gg/fTHrhg758W ----- Feel free to give us a review on iTunes or email us your game suggestions and/or Roblox stories at alden (at) aldengaming.com.  We'll take time to read them on our podcast  You can also check out Spotify for a weekly survey, or leave a voice mail here on Anchor.  We can't respond to them directly, but we will include them in future podcasts. &gt;&gt; Leave us a review on iTunes!:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/aldens-amazing-roblox-review/id1436553910 ----- We hope this episode finds you stellar and magnificent.  Know that there are people who care about you and appreciate what you do.

AARR #44 - "Chest opening, gift getting joy!" - 🐾 Pet Simulator X! (w/LuvsMinecraft ⛏ ) 

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 and I try out the endless number generator known as 'Clicker Simulator' in this episode.  We're joined by two of our friends on our Discord (Tyson and Sunstripe) as we continually hatch eggs and generate 1.45e16 clicks per second with our atomic event pets that resemble microwaves and portable furnaces.  If you're completely confused, you'll have to either play the game or listen to the episode for it to make sense. 🤪  You can play Clicker Simulator right here:  https://web.roblox.com/games/7560156054/Clicker-Simulator We also revisit our Battle Cats lineup, since we go three weeks per update.  It seems we completely forget all the progress we make and have to look at the game to figure it out.  In fact, we're waaaaay beyond what this episode details and will probably spend a good portion of Episode 44 going over things like Heavenly Tower, the old Merc Storia collab and the 100+ leadership flags we now have.  All the same, we'll get you up to speed on things.

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 and I try out the endless number generator known as 'Clicker Simulator' in this episode.  We're joined by two of our friends on our Discord (Tyson and Sunstripe) as we continually hatch eggs and generate 1.45e16 clicks per second with our atomic event pets that resemble microwaves and portable furnaces.  If you're completely confused, you'll have to either play the game or listen to the episode for it to make sense. 🤪 You can play Clicker Simulator right here:  <a href="https://web.roblox.com/games/7560156054/Clicker-Simulator" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://web.roblox.com/games/7560156054/Clicker-Simulator</a> We also revisit our Battle Cats lineup, since we go three weeks per update.  It seems we completely forget all the progress we make and have to look at the game to figure it out.  In fact, we're waaaaay beyond what this episode details and will probably spend a good portion of Episode 44 going over things like Heavenly Tower, the old Merc Storia collab and the 100+ leadership flags we now have.  All the same, we'll get you up to speed on things. Finally, we cover things like Tongue in Cheek ice cream flavors, what it would be like if Alden took over a Target Store, and all of your lovely, lovely reviews... even if we can't read them properly. Be sure to come find us on our Discord channel.  One of us is always hanging out, and who knows... you might just game with us on our next podcast! 👾 &gt;&gt; Join the AARR Discord and get a lucky day for FREE!:<a href="https://discord.gg/fTHrhg758W" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://discord.gg/fTHrhg758W</a> ----- Feel free to give us a review on iTunes or email us your game suggestions and/or Roblox stories at alden (at) <a href="http://aldengaming.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">aldengaming.com</a>.  We'll take time to read them on our podcast  You can also check out Spotify for a weekly survey, or leave a voice mail here on Anchor.  We can't respond to them directly, but we will include them in future podcasts. &gt;&gt; Leave us a review on iTunes!:<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/aldens-amazing-roblox-review/id1436553910" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/aldens-amazing-roblox-review/id1436553910</a> We hope this episode finds you happy and healthy.  Know that you are loved and appreciated, and please take care of yourself.  Bye! 👋 --- Send in a voice message: <a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aarr/message" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aarr/message</a>

AARR #43 - "Egg opening fun!" - ⚡Clicker Simulator (w/Tyson 💀 and Sunstripe 🍌) 

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. The whole thing has more sound bites, music overlays, transitions and weird, off-the-wall inserts than any previous episode, clocking in at a whopping 74 minutes.  I think I definitely overproduced it a bit.  Well, maybe a lot.  Maybe a whole lot.  Maybe I completely nerded out and spent a whole week on it.  Definitely possible. 🤪 Anyhoo, we do our usual coverage of Battle Cats, reviews on Apple Podcasts, and all your emails from the previous month (big thank you's to Tyson and Shannon for writing in).  We even talked about our first Discord member named Sunstripe (who has the only real Australian accent that we know of).  He also podcasts like we do, and you can find his content over on Spotify.  Check it out when you have some time... especially if you like the Warrior Cats novel series by Erin Hunter. 👍 &gt;&gt; Sunstripe's Warrior Cats Podcast:  https://open.spotify.com/show/12Ss4BIq3WBe7FZcTuj2Q3?si=8R8GDQrwS3eTXwvVrRLGhAFinally, if you're interested in playing one of the most unique, strange and entertaining Roblox games we've come across in a while, check out the game we're reviewing on this episode.  It was created by @GroovyDominoes52, and you can find it here: &gt;&gt; ROBLOX NPC's are becoming smart!:  https://web.roblox.com/games/6813414321/ROBLOX-NPCs-are-becoming-smart-51ST-ENDING  Be sure to check out our Discord and come join us and the three other brave souls who decided to see if our channel was actually worth paying attention to (it is, but you'll have to see for yourself 🤪).  &gt;&gt; Join the AARR Discord and get a lucky day for FREE!:https://discord.gg/fTHrhg758W  -----  Feel free to give us a review on iTunes or email us your game suggestions and/or Roblox stories at alden (at) aldengaming.com.  We'll take time to read them on our podcast  You can also check out Spotify for a weekly survey, or leave a voice mail here on Anchor.  We can't respond to them directly, but we will include them in future podcasts.

AARR #42 - "Weird but funny!" - Roblox NPCs are becoming smart! (THE MEGA PODCAST!! 🤯)

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. Anyhoo, this episode gets into my 52nd birthday celebration a couple of weeks ago, which Super Uber Rare cats would make good names for kids, and Alden's basketball teammates and what I think of them as their coach.  We also get into the never-ending saga that is COVID-19 and how we had to get tested... AGAIN.  Seriously, this pandemic is exposing how incredibly dumb humans are with taking pro-active measures and thinking about the bigger picture... which I'll be contemplating as I'm double masked on a flight to Florida next week. Oh, and we review Tower Blitz too. 🤪 In a nutshell, you should stop playing Tower Defense Simulator and give this game a try... especially if you like sniper towers with FULL AUTO capabilities. 😎  And finally, we have a Discord!  We're experimenting with it, but you can join by following this link.   &gt;&gt; Join the AARR Discord Hope you're doing well, and thanks as always for checking our podcast and giving us a listen. :)  -----&gt; If you're interested in Tower Blitz for Roblox, you can go here: https://web.roblox.com/games/4739557376/Tower-Blitz -----&gt; Feel free to give us a review on iTunes or email us your game suggestions and/or Roblox stories at alden (at) aldengaming.com.  We'll take time to read them on the air.  You can also check out Spotify for a weekly survey, or leave a voice mail here on Anchor.  We can't respond to them directly, but we will include them in future podcasts. Here's the rundown of all the audio samples we had in this episode.  Be advised that some of these include naughty language bits and should be avoided if you're not allowed to listen to that ****.  😅   Twist and Crawl - By English Beat All Mixed Up - By 311 *Rep Grows Bigga - By Gang Starr (NSFW) The Militia (Instrumental) - By Gang Starr Simon Says (instrumental) - Pharoahe Monch Fanfare - Final Fantasy VII Music Extended - By Squaresoft Quake 2 Soundtrack: Operation Overlord - By Sonic Mayhem Without Me (Instrumental) - Eminem    See you next time! 👍 Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aarr/message

AARR #41 - Tower Blitz is "sweet and sour" 🍎 (with FULL AUTOS 😈)

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 our house.  We start off with a Q&amp;A session where I asked both of them various questions about random stuff (ex: who would win between the Hindu Gods vs Greek Gods, top 5 toys you could get for free, who would you like to punch in the face without repercussions, etc.).  It was a lot of fun to listen to. 😁 We later found out that Srihan couldn't play any video games while he was visiting (which both Alden and I thought was horrendously stupid).  So, he agreed to do a play by play while Alden and I tried to get caught up with our stamp collection and golden flag conquest in Super Mario 3D World.  Srihan made the most of it, we were partially successful and enjoyed the whole session.  So apologies for the delay... it's my fault again.  Unless I start up something like Patreon and quit my job and do these full time, I'll just continue to release them when time allows (and Alden keeps pestering me about getting one together).  Hope this episode finds you happy, healthy and staying clear of COVID-19 (though it's damn hard with Omicron... our next door neighbors' entire family was exposed to it during the holidays). -----&gt; If you're interested in Super Mario 3D World, you can go here: https://supermario3dworld.nintendo.com/ -----&gt; Feel free to give us a review on iTunes or email us your game suggestions and/or Roblox stories at alden (at) aldengaming.com.  We'll take time to read them on the air.  You can also check out Spotify for a weekly survey, or leave a voice mail here on Anchor.  We can't respond to them directly, but we will include them in future podcasts. And if you're interested in picking up a good book, here's what Alden's been reading these days:  Daughter of the Deep - By Rick O'Riordan Amari and the Night Brothers - By B. B. Alston Middle School:  My Brother is a Big Fat Liar - By James Patterson  See you next time, and thanks for listening!  ---   Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aarr/message

AARR #40 - Super Mario 3D World is "parkour fun" (and it's good, according to Srihan) 😁

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).Feel free to email us your suggestions for games: alden (at) aldengaming.com

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 WARS! ⛳️  It's basically a 'Capture the Flag' type game that was a remake of StickMasterLuke's version (maker of 'Natural Disaster' btw) that's everything you want out of a team-play FPS.  I enjoy it because it reminds me of my old gaming days of Quake, Counterstrike, Unreal Tournament, etc.  Alden just likes the 'Spaz'. 😁  The run-time is a bit long on this episode, as we covered three full rounds of playing AND included some trivia about Brazil (for those of you listening from the region).  We learned a lot and had a lot of fun recording this one. -----&gt; If our review of Flag Wars got you interested in the game, you can learn more at: https://flag-wars.fandom.com/wiki/Flag_wars_Wiki And play the game at: https://web.roblox.com/games/3214114884/Flag-Wars -----&gt; Feel free to give us a review on iTunes or email us your game suggestions and/or Roblox stories at alden (at) aldengaming.com.  We'll take time to read them on the air.  You can also check out Spotify for a weekly survey, or leave a voice mail here on Anchor.  We can't respond to them directly, but we will include them in future podcasts.

AARR #38 - Polybattle (a.k.a. PolyBlast) is "BRUH" and PS YOUR HELICOPTERS SUCK

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 warp.  We do have another episode coming up that's already recorded, but I have to sit down and post-produce it.  I'm getting to it... promise. 😁 Anyway, we cover the usual with school, Battle Cats and all the boring stuff going on with me at the home.  Then we get into Tower Defense Simulator (one of our favorites) and try our hand at the revised version to see what's changed since we played it a year ago. As always, feel free to give us a review on iTunes or email us your game suggestions and/or Roblox stories at alden (at) aldengaming.com.  We'll take time to read them on the air.  You can also check out Spotify for a weekly survey, or leave a voice mail here on Anchor.  We can't respond to them directly, but we will include them in future podcasts.  (Hi Evelyn! 👋) And if you're into reading like Alden is, here are the books he's checking out this week.

AARR #37 - Tower Defense Simulator is "frustratingly fun" 😅

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 with my son Alden, having a good time... when all of a sudden, he leaves the server I'm on to go play with his online friends.  It ended up being another game, but did he came back to play with me?  NO.  He goes and plays on ANOTHER WT2 server with someone else!  I was so depressed that I took it out on other teams we were competing against (and made the most of it by experiencing two different games) 😁 We also get into school, all of our featured units in Battle Cats and go through some new reviews.  If you'd like to give us a review on iTunes or email us your game suggestions and/or Roblox stories at alden (at) aldengaming.com.  We'll take time to read them on the air.

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.  So if that doesn't sound interesting, I'll cliff note the whole thing for you:  Alden plays a solo game for 20 minutes, whispering into the microphone I join him and show how much of a wimp I am by constantly running away from mobs. We both enjoy sitting in dark houses waiting for the sun to come up.  We also share school updates, some amazing Battle Cats pulls (two of them!) and get into the latest reviews.  Oh, and THANK YOU FOR SENDING YOUR EMAILS!!! 😁 I just answered all of them this morning and will be reading them off next episode.  Very much appreciate your game suggestions.

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, but it's definitely a clickfest.

AARR #32: Weight Lifting Simulator is "Okay"

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. 😁  We cover the game, how many times I take a rocket to the face, read a couple of reviews and give some after-school updates about his new Art Ensemble he's getting involved with.  Also, here are some books Alden recommends.  He's read all of these in the past week and really enjoys them:  Where are you Leopold? Book 1, The invisibility game Diary of a wimpy kid : the third wheel Minecraft : the mountain Dog Diaries : Curse of the mystery mutt The anti-book by Raphael Simon  And remember, please review the podcast on iTunes if you have some time.  We do read them off every episode.  I'm wondering who's going to be the #200 review.  🤔  You can also email us at alden (at) aldengaming.com if you have any game suggestions or ramblings to share.

Alden's Amazing Roblox Review #31 - "Doomspire Brickbattle is awesome!"

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 monetize us constantly.  It also forces you to travel huge distances for literally nothing while asking you to pay money to improve your mood, your health, etc.  Neither of us thought we were playing the *actual* game.  It sucked that bad. So yeah, don't bother with this one.  We have no idea why it's on top 10 lists everywhere.  It blows. We'll have something better next time around. ----- Email us your game suggestions (NOT BLOXBURG) at alden (at) aldengaming.com You can also leave a review on iTunes.  We like reading them on the podcast if they are kid appropriate.

Alden's Amazing Roblox Review

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).

In fact, he goes through literally everything he sees while playing the game (which seems to jog his memory better).--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aarr/message

AARR Ep09 - Slimeulator

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 particular reason, and a new ranking for games in the form of grunts.    -----  If you have feedback on the show or would like to suggest a game, leave a comment or write to spiderbird@yahoo.com.  Thanks for listening!  ---   Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aarr/message

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.

AARR #14 - Car Crushers 2

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 message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aarr/message

AARR Ep03 - Epic Minigames

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 Alden and I enjoyed revisiting the game, it didn't have that same sort of glitchy magic we were looking for.  In fact, this is the first game where we can't remotely recommend anyone trying it.   But hey, form your own opinion and try it here: https://web.roblox.com/games/214277763/Dr-Zombies-Slime-Slide --- As always, thanks for listening, and give us a decent rating and review on iTunes and Spotify.  We do read them, and wait till we have critical mass before showcasing them on a future episode.    Enjoy your week. :)  ---   Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aarr/message

AARR #21 - 💀-Dr.Zombie's Slime Slide-💀

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 a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aarr/message
