Wow it's been so long since I've posted on this thing that I forgot the password, heh. Anyway, sorry for the long absence, having two kids under the age of 17 months can take up a lot of your free time. Modern Warfare 3 and now Star Wars The Old Republic, are consuming what little is left. On that note, let's talk about how soon is too soon when it comes to kids entering child care. My wife and I

Yesterday was a big day for fans of the Batman films.  If you have been following the the alternate reality game, yesterday Operation Early Bird was released.  If you followed the link it showed a map of the United States and depending on your area you could have claimed passed to get into an early screening of the new 6 minute prologue.  This sneak screening is going to take place on December 13

Happy Thanksgiving from the Fandads.  We are very thankful for the exciting past few months.  We saw our first sponsored giveaway from Rockabye Baby and from the Chicago Toy & Game Fair.  We also want to say thanks to all our friends and family that have supported the site.  We have a couple of interesting stories coming soon, including my mini adventure with the Chevy Sonic I was given for

One movie coming out next year, that we can not wait for is The Avengers.  This week we saw the release of two banners that showcase the main characters of the movie.  Take a look and tell us what you think.

Next weekend Navy Pier is hosting the Chicago Toy & Game Fair and Fandads will be there to preview all the upcoming toys and report it back to you.  This will be a great opportunity for us to see what the hot toys will be this holiday season and also talk to the manufacturers/inventors of these new toys.  Tickets for the show are: $5 for children (3-13) & $10 for adults.  Show hours are:

A few months ago we hinted at a contest with everyone's favorite speedy blue hedgehog and it was kind of left on the back burner.  With the recent release of Sonic Generations we have decided to bring back this contest and make it, like Sonic, fast and easy.  "What do I have to do to win?" Simply, leave a comment stating why you are Sonic's biggest fan in five words or less.  Winners will be

I do admit that the images that have been released for this movie had me intrigued.  The more pictures that they release for the movie the more my interest is peaked, but now with the first trailer out I think that I am sold.  This looks great and I can't wait to see this! Snow White and the Huntsman is scheduled to release this summer.

Today was the big day for the reveal of the new installment of Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto series: Grand Theft Auto V.  While there will be a lot of speculation about who the main character/characters are, it seems like this world is huge just like in Grand Theft Auto IV.  Here is the trailer enjoy it and let us know what you think.

Anyone that knows me knows that I am a huge Star Wars fan and I am a little excited to see these, but I do have my reservations about the new 3D conversions coming out.  While there are some cool scenes in Phantom Menace that would be great in 3D, I'm not so sure how the rest of the movie will play out.  Needless to say, I will go see this at the theaters when it's released next year.  The one

Last month we did a post about the Dad Blogs we like and we promised we would do more posts in the future highlighting some of the things we like.  This month we decided to go with a mixture of things from video games to movies and even CD's that are great to have around when you're winding down with the little one.  Read on and let us know what you think of this month's picks and check out the

We have been waiting for this for a while and it's finally here!  I can not wait to see this and with Joss Whedon behind the writing and camera, this might be the superhero movie we have been asking for. The Avengers is scheduled to be released on May 4, 2012.

Recently my little girl has gotten a case of the "gimmies".  Now it hasn't gotten to the point where she throws herself on the ground and has tantrums like Brother & Sister bear in the picture above, but it has become an issue that we are trying to curb before it gets worse.  Whenever she says, "gimmie that!" I respond to her "No, that's not how you ask for things.  You say, "Can I have that

Over the weekend I went to Wizard World to see some celebrities and buy some comics.  While I was there I looked around to see what I could get for my little girl.  She likes Yo Gabba Gabba and Sesame Street so I went to the Stylin booth to see what kind of T-shirts they had.  While looking around I found the perfect shirt for her. Other than Elmo, Cookie Monster is her favorite character.  She

This has been a great week so far for fans of comic books and comic book movies. Earlier this week the internet went crazy with the reveal of the new Spider-Man, Miles Morales and today we get the first look at Henry Cavill as Superman in Zack Snyder's "Man of Steel".

Over the weekend at comic con Marvel unveiled new posters for the Avengers movie coming out next May. These posters show each Avenger in an action pose, some with new costumes, but when placed together they form a cool team shot. What are you thoughts?

Now the Walking Dead was a series that I did not read from the beginning. I think I really started reading it a few years ago and I was hooked. I began buying the books and trying to keep up, but I can tell you that the show is amazing even if you never read the comic. Season two begins in October and I will be counting down the days.

Now I have been a Star Wars fan since I first saw A New Hope thirty-something years ago and I always remember seeing images of scenes that were not in the movie.  I remember seeing the trailer to Empire Strikes Back and there was a scene with C3-PO removing a warning sign from a door. Later I found out that that room housed Wompas and by removing the sign the stormtroopers walked into that room

Although we have to wait another year for The Dark Knight Rises to be released this poster already brings up a lot of questions.  Rumor has it that the first teaser trailer will be attached to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.  Let's see if this is true.  In the meantime enjoy!

Being a parent is an on the job experience and no matter how many books I read they will never prepare me for the real life experience.  I could read everything that there is about tantrums, but

This week we get a couple of classic franchises returning and a movie tie-in that looks pretty good. Alice: Madness Returns - The original game American MeGee's Alice came out on PC in Oct. 2000. Child of Eden - From the creator of Rez comes this shooter that takes advantage of the Kinect. Duke Nukem Forever -After many, many, many years Duke is finally back to save Earth again.

Last year after the Electronic Entertainment Expo, Jimmy Fallon dedicated an entire week on highlighting some of the biggest games that were announced and revealed them on his show.  This year he's doing it again and he chose some great titles to highlight each night. Last week via his Twitter, Jimmy announced the schedule and games that will be on his show.  Here is the schedule for Video Game

As many of you know by now, I am participating in the Warrior Dash on June 19th.  Now while I am not in peak physical shape, I am in decent shape and have decided to start working out so I won't embarrass myself doing the dash.  I thought of a few ways to get in shape and I decided to share them with you, our loyal readers.  Remember, I am not a professional trainer, I'm just a fandad.

These are the new releases for the week of 5/31. Hunted: Demon's Forge It's a slow week for game releases, but next week there is one release that I'm pretty excited about.  Can you guess what game this is? With E3 around the corner you can expect a whole batch of game announcements and we'll try to keep you updated on all the announced games and systems.

Being athletic is one thing that people don't associate with being a fandad.  Most times when people think of fanboys/fandads they visualize overweight guys with thick glasses sitting at home playing video games or reading comics all day.  That is not the case.  Most fandads that I know are active and in good shape and are always looking for something to do to keep them and their little ones busy

I know that Video Game Time has been kind of on a hiatus for some time and it's not for our lack of putting it up.  Lately, there has been a lot of great games coming out that it's hard to keep track of all of them and reviewing them in a timely manner.  So after much thinking about it, I've decided to change the way we do video game time in the future. Video Game Time is still going to occur on

Ok, the PlayStation Network was down for 24 days. 24 Days! To some that seems like an eternity, for me it was more of an annoyance than anything. The network was taken down due to some "security issues" then promises were made, information was compromised and dates for the network to be up and running again came and went. I know that there is more to this story, but I'm just giving you the

I know I've ranted about this before, but I'm going to do it again, so BACK OFF! Lol. I think I'm going to stick to movies and DVDs from now on. No more watching crap on tv, I'll stick to whatever I'm currently watching, wait for that to get cancelled and/or end and that'll be it.

Thor was pretty good. He's never been one of my favorite characters but I am familiar with his mythology and in my opinion they did a great job of telling his story. Loki was good in the movie, as was Odin. Sif, Volstagg and the other warriors were also prominent in the film. (I did have a problem with an aspect of Loki's character but I won't mention it as it may be a spoiler) It does a fair job

Let's talk about the Nintendo 3DS.  I know it's been out for a while but I wanted to spend a little time with it before I posted my review. Let's start out with the basics. It costs as much as a console and it doesn't come with a game. Ouch. Sure, it has AR Games, A Mii game, and Face Raiders, but I'm not sure if it's enough. Now, I'm upgrading from an old DS so I'm not sure what was on the DSi

In video games when a character gets hurt they lose a bit a stamina or a bar of health.  The same could be said about comic book characters, they are usually well by the next page or last panel.  Unfortunately, this is not the case in real life, when someone gets hurt or has an accident there are bruises, crying and a lot of screaming. One of the reasons I'm writing this post is because I feel

The reviews of Homefront haven't been too kind. Some people are complaining about the graphics, others are disappointed with the length of the game. I know that it isn't a Halo killer, and it didn't blow anyone's mind, but after playing it through and spending sometime playing it online I have to give it my seal of approval.  For the sake of those of you that haven't played it, I won't spill too

I'm not a fan of horror movies. I'll watch some for the hell of it, for the fun factor, but I think most people watch them because they like to be scared. I guess that's why I'm not a fan, other than the occasional jump scene, they don't scare me much. Really, I'm more afraid of having to get up in the morning than possibly encountering a machete wielding murderer. The only movies that could give

Today's game: Killzone 3 As far as first-person shooters go: Call of Duty pretty much corners the market along with the Halo franchise.  Killzone 3 is a great FPS that clearly holds it's own with these titles.  From the massive environments to the spectacular sequences, Killzone 3 is the shooter that PS3 owners have been waiting for.

If you tell me zombies, I'm there. It doesn't matter what the context is, throw in zombies and it just gets a hell of a lot better.  Dead Island is, by it's developer, Techland, called a "first-person zombie-slasher/action RPG."  All that is know about the game so far it that it takes place on a vacation resort, you play as a preselected character and you skills increase as the game proceeds.

Over the weekend Sony officially announced the title to the Spider-man reboot: The Amazing Spider-man. Now while this title reminds me of the only Spider-Man series I actually kept up with I hope it evokes the same heart and soul that the Sam Rami movies did. With "Web of Spider-Man" and "Spectacular Spider-Man" running at the same time "Amazing Spider-Man" was always my favorite, so seeing

The first teaser poster for Captain America: The First Avenger is online now. Click below to see it!   I really dig the somber look, like he's collecting his thoughts before getting ready to do some damage.  What do you think?  Also, be sure to watch the Super Bowl for the teaser commercial.

Last time I was really scared playing a video game it when I played Clock Tower on the original PlayStation back in the day.  I remember the frustration of trying to run away from the Scissor Man only to have my character fall and then impaled by those enormous scissors.  There hasn't been a game that has given me the same type of scare like that one until I played Dead Space on the PlayStation 3

There were so many hot titles coming out each week that it was hard to keep track of everything that has been released, but today I will try to highlight a few and speak on last weeks big release. Let's start with what's been released and a line about each one: Call of Duty Black Ops - Even negative publicity couldn't harm the sales of this title. Medal of

So this week we were introduced to the new look of Spider-Man and the first look of Chris Evans in Captain America.  While many people may not like the new look of Spider-Man, I for one will hold my opinions on Spider-Man until I see more, but I am just upset that I won't be seeing the combination of Sam Raimi and Tobey Mcguire on the big screen again. As for the Chris Evans look....I am kind

"I ain't no perfect man, I'm trying to do the best that I can, with what it is I have." Mos Def It's a new year. It's that time where everyone makes resolutions, promises or lists of the things that they want to accomplish in the new year.  That time of year where everyone wants to start fresh and feel like they're actually doing something positive in their lives.  That time of year where we all

I know I've been slacking on the blog, I hope to sort of "relaunch"it in the new year, we'll have to come up with something. We're getting as bad as TV, a season ends and you don't get new content or episodes for months, sometimes for a year. I know, I know, that's the definition of a season, still though, sometimes you don't ever get new episodes. Case in point, they canceled Terriers, it was a

Three new trailers were released this week that I think many of us were waiting for: Green Lantern, Your Highness and Cowboys & Aliens.  Now I am personally excited for the latter two, although I never read Green Lantern, I am familiar with the story and am interested in seeing the movie.  Your Highness I heard about a year ago and thought it was a funny concept and after seeing the trailer I

I know, I know, I haven't been keeping up with the blog at all. It sure isn't for lack of material, I feel like I've aged three years in the last three months. God help me, I don't know how I'm going to do it for the next 30 years or so. There's probably a lot I can talk about, but I'll try to slowly ease my way back into the writing routine, one topic at a time. Besides I'm feeling a little

Finally I'm able to talk about it! In August I received an e-mail from Microsoft stating that they were going to start accepting applications in a few weeks to beta test their new hardware Kinect and if I was interested I should apply. Of course I was interested and I clicked on the link, filled out the application then sat patiently to see what would happen.  About a week later I got

In a recent signing in promoting his Strain Trilogy of books Guillermo del Toro had a few choice words to say about video games and those who protest the artistic value of them.  What do you think about his views?

With the Nintendo Wii selling over 30 million units in the United States since their release in 2006, you would figure that they have the motion control thing locked down.  Well in the next few months Sony and Microsoft are going to try to change that with the release of the Move and Kinect (formally Project Natal.) The Sony Move is the first motion control system to come out and consists of

I know that we have been absent for a while, but what better way to come back with one of the most anticipated games of the year: Halo: Reach.  Halo: Reach tells the tale of Noble Team. Noble Team consist of a squad of Spartans and Noble 6, who is the new member on the team.  You play as Noble 6 and can customize the character in any way you want with the new customization system in the game.

Time just flies by. The baby shower came and went, everyone was very generous, and a good time was had by all. As far as I know anyway. We've also been busy at the house getting our baby's room ready, Melissa's hospital bag, and other essentials. Shockingly we were planning ahead and pretty much ready for her to arrive. Melissa and I have been very anxious and excited to meet our baby girl.

First off I'd like to apologize to everyone for slacking on our blog. I guess having a baby kind of make it hard to blog about having one. Anyway, I know it isn't very nerdy or what not, but the Fandads aren't just fans of geek/tech/gaming, we're also sports fans. However, this topic is still kind of on the tech side, I've been meaning to write about it since Armando Galarraga got robbed of a

With the advent of technology getting in touch with someone is as simple as sending a text message to that person.  Facebook has become so common that it has pretty much become a part of our vocabulary with people asking, "Are you on Facebook" or "I'll Facebook you."  Twitter has made it easy for people to share their thoughts or small details of their lives, within 140 characters of course.

Most of my friends hated checking in. It sucked. It's summer, you're out with your friends, maybe biking in the park, or playing baseball and all of a sudden it's noon. Maybe it's four or six, it didn't matter, but you had to check in. If you were lucky there was a phone nearby or a friend's house. If not you had to jump back on your BMX bike and race home. Totally necessary, I'm not going

So I know I've been behind with the E3 coverage, but today I'll cover what is coming out for the PS3 and the Wii. I'll do like I did with the last post and just make bullet points of what is being released for these systems.  Also, we have a few codes for Kratos and the Kart of Chaos for ModNation Racers.  Find out how to win these codes at the end of this blog.

Where to begin, there was so much announced today that today's Video Game Edition will pretty much be just bullet points of what was announced. Project Natal is now know as Kinect and will be available November 4, 2010 for a rumored $149.99. Eight games have been announced so far with more coming out by launch.  A few of the games that are coming out are reminiscent of Wii and Playstation Eye

You Time: Why It's Important for Fathers, Husbands & Employees Read this article the other day and it really stuck a chord with me, especially after this weekend when my plans fell through twice.  I think as Fandads we really need to take the time to enjoy some quality time for ourselves and hang out with friends to rejoice our roles as fathers and also to exchange ideas and solutions.  Enjoy.

I'm going to do something a little different with this weeks Video Game Time, I'm going to focus on fitness.  Now I am not a fitness expert, but being a parent you do need to be in decent shape to be chasing your toddler around.  Sitting around all day playing video games kind of takes a toll on your health, so you need to be a little more active to be prepared for parenthood.

Today's Video Game Time is going to be short because there really isn't much released today.  The few games that were released today were Alpha Protocol (360, PS3), Pure Football (360, PS3) & The Sims 3:Ambitions Expansion Pack. (PC)  There is also a chance to win a DLC code for Modnation Racers at the end of today's column.  Now I admit that Alpha Protocol seems pretty interesting, but right

Being an English Major I can safely say that I enjoy reading almost about anything and I am pretty well read in the classics.  For most of my courses I had to read a lot of stories: short, long, prose and many books that I probably would have never known about.  One semester I took a Young Adult Literature course and I had to read about 30 books for the semester, which seems like a lot, but those

So last week I talked about Red Dead Redemption and all I could say is that this game is amazing.  I have only played a few hours of it already and it has sucked me in.  Riding around on the plains and skinning the animals I kill make this game so much fun.  I mean it's Grand Theft Auto in the wild west, so what can you not like about it.  I have yet to play online, due to the glitches that are

So there we were, my parents, sisters and myself, waiting in a line that felt like it was ten miles long to a theater that looked tiny from where we were standing.  This was the first time we went to the Golf Mill Theater, but we came here because they just installed a new Dolby surround sound system and my dad wanted to experience it with the movie we were here to see.  So we drove for what felt

She couldn't get over the fact that so many people
