AARR #34 - "Piggy, Book 2 is stupid beca...

Robert Skrobe
About this episode

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. 👍

See you next time, and thanks for listening!
