About this episode

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.
