Alden's Amazing Roblox Review

Latest Episodes:

AARR #34 - "Piggy, Book 2 is stupid because my Dad killed me." Oct 27, 2021

Show notes

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.

If you have time, please 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. 👍

ACT - By Kayla Miller
Max and the Midknights, Battle of the Bodkins (Book 2) - By Lincoln Peirce
Max and the Midknights (Book 1) - By Lincoln Peirce

See you next time, and thanks for listening!

AARR #33 - "You gotta be careful with Minecraft." Oct 13, 2021

Show notes

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.
Hope this episode finds you well, and please stay safe out there.

AARR #32: Weight Lifting Simulator is "Okay" Oct 05, 2021

Show notes

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.
We also talked about our COVID-19 scare, new nicknames for some of his friends and classmates, and read your reviews as we flirt with the idea of doing a Minecraft episode. And oh yeah... stacking furniture in Hello Neighbor too. :D
Hope you enjoy the show!

Alden's Amazing Roblox Review #31 - "Doomspire Brickbattle is awesome!" Sep 25, 2021

Show notes

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.

Hope you and yours have a safe and relaxing weekend!

Alden's Amazing Roblox Review #30 - "Bloxburg is Dumb" Sep 18, 2021

Show notes

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.

You can also leave a review on iTunes. We like reading them on the podcast if they are kid appropriate.

Bye!

Alden's Amazing Roblox Review #29 - Books Sep 07, 2021

Show notes

We're nearly a week away from getting back into things with Roblox (hopefully). Until then, it's one more episode focused on Alden's updates and his love of books. It's mostly me going into detail about everything he reads and how much he's read (which is a LOT). If you have book suggestions, do send them my way. Until then, I'll be raiding the local library for new adds.
Be sure to send us some suggestions for games (Roblox or otherwise) as well as your favorite book reads to alden (at) aldengaming.com. If you're feeling up to it, feel free to give us a review on iTunes and we'll read them on the podcast.
Btw, is there any other podcasting site that does reviews? I didn't see them on Spotify or other 3rd party sites. 🤔
Until next time, I hope you and yours are staying safe and happy during the pandemic we're going through. See you later!

Alden's Amazing Roblox Review #28 - School Sep 02, 2021

Show notes

This week, Alden and I get into his experiences with going to in-person school in Texas during COVID-19 Death Season. He goes through a typical day, his 'nutty' best friend and farts occasionally. We read off a few reviews that have come in for the past week as well.
We also have a new email address! You can send in your topic and game requests as well as any questions you have to alden@aldengaming.com. This account is monitored by me (Alden's father), so keep it clean or your messages will be banned to a silent life in the Spam folder.

Hope this finds you well, and thanks as always for listening!

AARR, Season 2 - We're back! 🎉 Aug 25, 2021

Show notes

Yep, you heard right. I finally convinced my son to start recording again and talking about Roblox, Battle Cats, Minecraft and amazing review names like TacoPoopBlast. 🤪
Alden should be back and streaming on Roblox in a few weeks, but we'll have a few audio-only episodes coming up where we talk about gaming, school life, and random topics in a jar. If you want to add a topic or leave a review, please do so and we'll read them off.
Hope you and yours are staying safe during the pandemic.

Alden's Amazing Roblox Review, Episode 27 - Natural Disaster Survival + Epic Mini Games Feb 10, 2020

Show notes

I was trying to figure out some Roblox games that Alden's friend Srihan (who doesn't play video games... he's more into nature) could play with him. So, we fell back on some of the classics Alden used to play when he was much younger.

So, we're featuring both Natural Disaster Survival and the newly redesigned Epic Mini Games.

Btw, I neglected to turn on both microphones, so you'll hear me and Srihan talking in the background very softly. You'll also hear Alden's voice easily pierce your ears at different intervals, but that's a kid for you. :)

Hope you enjoy it!

AARR #25 - Blox Hunt Aug 08, 2019

Show notes

My son often looks at what his Roblox friends are playing to get started with new games. Blox Hunt was one of them. It's an interesting approach to a hide-and-seek game, where you can disguise yourself as an object (and run around when you get caught as one).

Besides defining what a hider and a seeker was (over and over and over again), we did manage to both be seekers at the same time. Were we able to find all the hiders before time expired? You'll have to watch to find out. :)
