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:

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.

*opens the door to the AARR podcast*
Man, this place is super dusty. Where are the light switches?
Yep, it’s been 10 long months since we put anything up on the podcast. I guess when it came to overproducing episodes and having 6-8 recordings in the hopper, all enthusiasm for getting it done went out the window… that and getting the house in order.
This time around, we’re doing weekly recordings where we give updates on what’s going on with the both of us and doing our gaming recordings on YouTube as streams. It’s just much easier to document what Tyler and Alden are doing rather than trying to insert a new sound effect every 15-30 seconds. It was fun to do, but spending 30-40 hours on each episode was a bit too much.

Sorry for the long break, and we’ll see you in another episode fairly quickly. I’m working on last Sunday’s episode tomorrow. 😀
-
At this point, I have to treat these podcast episodes like music album releases. They take a long time to produce for one person, and I just can't churn them out fast enough. So, consider them quarterly installments from this point forward until something changes in our collective schedules here. 😁
Anyhoo, we're back with our 50th episode! Alden and his best friend Wish join a couple of our cohorts on Discord (Jester and TiMO) to try and beat Doors for the first time. I join in as well, though I kept my expectations at rock bottom (I had never played before this episode recording).
Beyond the game, here's what's been happening with us:
Alden had hand surgery last Wednesday on one of his fingers and won't be able to write/do anything computer related till late next week. He's still crushing it grade-wise in 6th grade We started playing Battle Cats again and now have Dark Phono. We're also farming NP to try and upgrade some of our favorite ubers to 60 w/talents. Alden and Wish have been playing Dungeons and Dragons every weekend for the past couple of months. Their current adventure is about to meet it's dramatic conclusion with a final battle with the 'Alchemist', a high level magician/illusionist who's been pulling all the strings in the background of their adventure so far.Oh, and Alden's soccer team is 0-8 going into their final two games. Alden's been doing decent at goalie, but a good portion of the team is completely new to soccer and they've been getting beaten pretty bad. Still, they attend practices, have fun with each other and make the most of it.

Hope this finds you well, and I hope you have some restful holidays coming up. See you!

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:

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.
Thanks for listening, and we’ll see you in a few weeks.

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. Click on the link below for some endless (but temporary) happiness and joy:

Oh, and if you're interested in submitting your own avatar/logo for the show, stop by the Discord and bedazzle us with your amazing applications of art.
Thanks for listening! See you next time.

PS - Our apologies to Tyson for not allowing him to sign off. I didn't realize we had forgotten him in our haste to wrap up the show. We'll give him a proper signoff the next time he joins us.

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. If you If you want to take a peek, you know what to do:

Also, thanks to Oli Down Under for the new logo! We'll be rotating these out as fans of the show produce their own artwork for it. If you're interested in putting in your latest Midjourney creation or hand drawn masterpiece, stop by the Discord and share with us.
As always, thanks for listening to the show and we hope you are doing well. 👍
-
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.

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. :)

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! 😁👍

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! 😎

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-SimulatorWe 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.

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. 👍

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.

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&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).----->

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.----->

Hi there!
Another two weeks and another episode is done. I might as well just make these holiday themed episodes since I seem to get one done every time one comes around. Next month (January 2022) will be my birthday! 🎉🎂
In this episode, we review Polyblast, aka Polybattle. Well, we said Polyblast so many times that the developers need to reconsider a few things. Maybe some guided missiles (which they just added), mortar weapons and oh, I don't know... SOME GUNS OR ROCKETS ON THEIR UNSTEERABLE, TWITCHY, USELESS HELICOPTERS!!! 😤
We also introduce listener-suggested songs for background music. Hopefully, I got those right. What's weird is that I've heard all of them before (with the exception of "Permission to Dance' by BTS. The instrumentals were cool though. Keep those suggestions coming!

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.

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.

Helllllo everybody!
We're a bit late with publishing our 'post-halloween' episode, as we just recorded another podcast this evening. Nevertheless, we get into our costumes, how we terrified small children everywhere in our neighborhood and get into the goings-on happening at school. Oh, and Henry Stickmin too. 😁
And for some weird reason, iTunes temporarily removed a bunch of our ratings and reviews over the past two years. At the time of this recording, we thought we had done something wrong... but apparently it was a glitch. Or, we're dumb. Both could be true.
Either way, 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.
And if you're into reading like Alden is, here are the books he's checking out this week. And btw, we aren't paid to put these here. This is just a courtesy to encourage others to read too. 👍

Hi all!
This week, we get into Piggy, Book 2... based on a suggestion from "lol" on our Anchor Q&A. We had some other games to check out, but this one was an impromptu choice to roll with.
It's a game we've played before, but was fully updated with a new chapter and different game options last year. And while the title of this podcast suggests that I ruined the entire experience for my son, I encourage you to listen to our 'conversation' and come to your own conclusions. 😁
We also get into a bit of school, the usual Battle Cats updates (and we have a ton more updates to share from this episode coming up) and what we're looking forward to next week.Hope this episode finds you well, and please stay safe out there.
