My new Gamer Dad Review is now live!  

This time Junior and I explored the wonderfully strange world of Botanicula.
A tiny point-and-click adventure, yet... a large surprising magical experience filled with creative creatures, joyful music, and a story about friendship and saving a tree.

It’s one of those indie games where imagination runs completely wild, perfect for both parents and kids:

As a Gamer Dad, I’m always drawn to games that reflect real life... and in my latest article, I explores 7 games about family, relationships, and long-lasting love: from heartfelt indie stories to surprising emotional journeys and family comedy.

Of course, it also includes a fully narrated version with music and atmosphere:

too  

Any format you prefer, I got it

So I revisited the 2001 Ballistics, The Fastest Game on Earth, and I can confirm IT STILL IS!
The only game that ever made me literally fall backward with my chair. 🤣🪑

Also, enhanced Narration is available to listen, including quite a few sound effects and sound captures from the game.
Check it out, and let me know how it turned out.

PS. If you want to experience Ballistics yourself, it still runs on modern systems, I’ve provided links… See More

and instructions on how to get it. (sadly, being abandonware)

This winter, I played Little Inferno with my son. I was expecting a cozy, yet fiery chaos. Butwhat we found instead was a game about attention, time, comfort… and having the courage to… Turn Around.

This Gamer Dad Review blends laughter, burning toys, and some surprisingly deep conversations about this small indie game that hides the biggest heart.

I played that quite a while back.
Just checked, 2013.
Didn't realise it was that long ago.

I finally turned my Dragon Ball article into a video 💛
A visual extension of the article, that shows (not only tells) many moments from the series that left us with the lessons we took away from this awesome journey.

Hope you enjoy! Feel free to leave a comment with your thoughts & feedback.
PS. If you like my work feel free to throw a sub on there too.
