Listen to the HALO 5 :Guardians Soundtrack

Right now for a limited time fans can listen to the entire HALO 5: GUARDIANS soundtrack. Sit back and listen to these tracks, composed by Kazuma Jinnouchi, as you imagine yourself running through ruins or driving a warthog through canyons and taking out whatever enemy comes at you.

Half a Decade in Gaming

Five years. It seems like a healthy chunk of time but you'd be surprised just how fast it can go by. My oldest will be five years old this summer. It's a great milestone, she'll be entering Kindergarten in the fall and she's becoming her own independent person. Although it's sad to see your little babies grow up, one of the nice things is that you start to have a little more free time. They can sit and watch TV or read some books on their own. Or they can play with each other while you catch up on some work. (or Netflix, whatever)

The Fandads Holiday Gift Guide.

It's that time of year again! Where we run into crowded malls, battle hordes of angry shoppers and try to find the perfect gift for the Fandad or Fanmom in our lives.  If you do not want to go through that hassle of guessing what they want and want to get them something that will "wow" them, then read our holiday gift guide.

If you see something you like, click on the picture to be sent to our affiliates website where you can purchase your gift.  While we can not guarantee that they will love the gift at least it won't be a gift card that says, "I tried to find something, but the crowds were too much for me."

"The first transport is away!" #30DaysofStarWarsShirts Day 18

From a far you're thinking to yourself, "That's a pretty cool looking shirt depicting the Battle of Hoth." Only when you get closer you realize that it is not an AT-AT in the center of the shirt, it's an Xbox One.

This shirt called "Console Wars II" combines what you already know is my favorite movie "Star Wars" with one of my favorite pastimes: video games.

T-Shirt Thursday is Back!

It's been a while since T-shirt Thursday has been up, so why not start the new year on a good foot with a new T-shirt to share with our friends.  If you know us, we love anything and everything that has Star Wars on it.  Now in this past December's LootCrate we got this awesome shirt entitled "Console Wars 2".  This shirt combines two of our other favorite things: Star Wars and video games, even though we don't get to game as much as we used to.  Just imagine if the console wars were really like this. Would your Xbox One avatar beat the Miis or Sackboy? Only our imagination knows the answer to that.  This shirt is available through ShirtWoot! for $15.  Pick one up today before they are all gone.

On a side note, you could've gotten this shirt and whole bunch of other goodies for $2 less than the price of the shirt is you signed up for LootCrate. Isn't it time you spoiled yourself a little bit?

It's a New Year and the Fandads are New too.....Who are we kidding!

Happy New Year everyone! We hope you had a great holiday season and that you are enjoying the new year with your family and loved ones.  We here at Fandads want to thank everyone for your support last year and want to say thank you for making last year a big year for us.  How big? You may be asking yourself....well, big enough for us.

10 Days of Fandads is Coming!

It is that time of year again for us here at Fandads to thank our friends for their support with the 3rd annual "10 Days of Fandads". If you are new to our site and have never participated, check out a picture of last year's goodies here with our model taunting you.

"How do I participate?" You may be asking yourself, it's really easy. If you are not a fan of us on Facebook go there now and do it...we'll wait.  

Ok, you're back? Good. Everyday we will post a question on our Facebook page at random times. Some days it will be a simple question or we will make you work for your prize (visit different websites for answers or post pictures on our page). Prizes will be limited to 2 prizes per person this year. 

We are still finalizing some of our prizes, but we think you will be happy with what we are giving away this year.  

Why I am doing Movember this year.

This November I am joining a group of DadBoggers in what has been come to be known as Movember.  What is Movember? For the entire month, men grow out their mustaches to help raise
awareness for prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men and hopefully grow some sweet 'staches by the time the month is done.  By having a group of dadbloggers uniting to do this we can help spread the word through each of our blogs and, as our team states, "Use social media for social good."  Now while we are all doing this to raise awareness, I am also doing this for my own special reason.

A Fandads Fan Reviews Disney Infinity

Being that both Gil and I are teachers, it's kind of hard to sit down and play video games like we used to.  With the plethora of games coming out, we try to keep up, but sometimes it's just hard to buy or play the games we want.  Here is where you come in, the Fandad community.  Recently one of our loyal readers asked us about doing a Disney Infinity review.  Now while both of us were interested in the game, we haven't bought it yet.  We posted the question on our Facebook page for opinions from our fans and the reaction was pretty positive.  he went out and bought the game and I asked him if, after playing the game for awhile, he could do a review and here it is.  So here is fellow Fandad Chris H. with his review of Disney Infinity. 

10 Days of Fandads

In case you've been wondering what we have been giving away on our 10 Days of Fandads on our Facebook page, here is a picture of the prizes.

What Happened to Video Game Time?

Remember when we used to do video game reviews every Tuesday and tell you what is coming out? Well, by looking at the stack of games in the picture, you can tell that we have been a little backed up.

With me working as a teacher, my gaming time has been cut down. Trust me I would like to get back to giving you reviews, but I don't want them to come off sounding half-assed. I'm getting a little better at making some time to game, so Video Game Time will return. It might not be immediate, but it will come back.

Thank you for reading.
