Read excerpt
This week on New Dad Gaming, we dive into the murky waters of gifting a 9-year-old. Discover the genius "dumb phone" mall scavenger hunt hack, and the moral dilemma of going half-sies on a new PlayStation 5 with your kid.

Paying extra for a disc drive that's about to be a paperweight, digital games that never got cheaper, movie libraries deleted overnight, the used market vanishing — we break down what a disc-free future means for gaming dads, whether Xbox follows suit, and why Nintendo cartridges might end up the last physical format our kids can inherit. Meanwhile, Jeff's firs

Read excerpt
We are officially entering our 11th year, making New Dad Gaming the longest-running fatherhood gaming podcast on the internet! To celebrate, we’re skipping the usual intro poem and taking a deep dive into the current "State of Dad Gaming." How do your gaming habits change when your kids shift from watching you play Mario Party to setting up their own Steam LAN parties?
