Ep. 395: The State of New Dad Gaming (11 Years Later)

from New Dad Gaming · host Trevor Alexander & Jeff Smalley

We are officially entering our 11th year, making New Dad Gaming the longest-running fatherhood gaming podcast on the internet! To celebrate, we’re skipping the usual intro poem and taking a deep dive into the current "State of Dad Gaming." How do your gaming habits change when your kids shift from watching you play Mario Party to setting up their own Steam LAN parties? We discuss avoiding FOMO, relying on the Steam Deck and retro handhelds to squeeze in 20-minute sessions, and the battle of trying to stay awake past 9:30 PM to play AAA titles on a big screen. Finally, we set a public goal: The Expedition 33 Challenge. Thank you to all the gaming dads who have shared this journey with us for over a decade. Here is to the next 10 years!
