This week is all about about the summer gaming goodness at DaD! Ryan talks the remade Assassin's Creed Black Flag - did they nail it? Meanwhile Crofton and his daughter visit a magical school in Hogwarts Legacy. But there is a lot of time given to looking at the State of Gaming today, following previous past episodes.

Ryan and Crofton feel the need for speed as they ride all the roller coasters of the theme parks they visit… so long as they are in the kid's section!

As we get older as parents, so too do our parents and, in a way, we become DOUBLE PARENTS. The boys talk about what is a busy time in their lives but how they still find time for fun. Crofton finds it in the new game Mina the Hollower or playing adventure games with his daughter. Ryan finds it the latest Benoit Blanc mystery or by a rewarding visit to checks notes the Canadian Canoe Museum. All of this and Ultimate Frisbee too! Come listen!

The world is a mess and luckily the news is there to report it. But how much do we share with our kids - if any at all? The boys discuss on this episode but not before Ryan goes to the movies with Apex and Project Hail Mary, and Crofton helps his daughter terrorize the creepy guy next door in Hello Neighbor. All that, Ryan continues down the comics rabbit hole, and Crofton bids farewell to the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Come listen!

Hey - you think I got a bad attitude? No, YOU have a bad attitude! We apologize but today the boys are dealing with 'tude from their kids and how they manage it. Are they hangry? Hormony? Something in between? Before that they go deep into the Dungeons with a spotlight on recent TV shows (like the Pitt and Shrinking) to old adventure games (like Monkey Island). All of this, updates on the MCU Rewatch and The Witcher 3, Ryan REPLACED his PC, and Kathy Rain 2: Soothsayer too. Come listen!
