This week on New Dad Gaming, Jeff and Trevor trade parenting war stories as they navigate teenage moods, missed school projects, and the absolute chaos of Minecraft movie culture. From last-minute movie plans to self-imposed consequences, the dads explore how to discipline with empathyâand hold the line when games are on the line.
Jeff recounts how a missed project turned into a teachable moment (and a canceled Minecraft movie trip), while Trevor pulls back game time after surprise bad grades. Both dads are impressed by how their kids accepted the consequencesâgrumpy but matureâand reflect on how modern parenting is shifting away from the old-school punishment roulette.
But the surprises donât end there. Jeff battles venue limbo while planning a private Minecraft movie birthday partyâdodging popcorn-throwing trends and last-minute confirmations from a theater that seemingly doesnât want his money. Meanwhile, Trevor gets played by his own son, who turns a casual Nerf hangout into a full-blown surprise birthday party with seven wild kids, Nerf darts, pizza, and loot bags.
Also in this episode:
The viral Minecraft movie theater chaos (what is a Chicken Jockey?)
Old-school punishment vs. parenting with logic
Jason Momoa as a ânerdâ? Bold move, kid.
Birthday party expectations vs. reality

Trevor and Jeff dive into Nintendoâs massive announcement, breaking down the upgraded hardware, surprising launch titles, and some truly unexpected exclusivesâincluding Dusk Blood, a spiritual successor to Elden Ring thatâs only coming to Switch 2 (!). Has Nintendo officially won over the dad gamers?
The new Mario Kart World gets a lot of love too, with an open-world racing mode that mixes Burnout Paradise vibes with classic kart chaos. From dolphin drivers to the iconic Moo Moo cow, Nintendoâs bringing the magic for kidsâand the nostalgia for dads.
Other highlights include:
New features like Game Chat and Game Share that let up to four consoles play the same game without extra downloads.
Switch 2âs game streaming, 4K docked output, and 120Hz handheld support.
The long-awaited return of GameCube games, including Super Mario Sunshine, Luigiâs Mansion, Fire Emblem, and more.

This week on New Dad Gaming, the dads are back in the saddle after a run of sickness, vacation, and dad exhaustion. Trevor returns to Elden Ringâthis time without cheatsâand finds himself rediscovering the magic of adventure, danger, and dumb deaths in FromSoftwareâs punishing open world. But with limited dad time, he turns to an unexpected ally: AI game coaching. Using ChatGPT with a custom prompt, he gets real-time build advice, weapon comparisons, and leveling tipsâall tailored to his skill level and playstyle. Itâs a game-changer for busy dads.
Jeff and Trevor dig into the future of AI in gaming. From Gran Turismoâs Sophie AI to Microsoft's investment in OpenAI, are we approaching a new age of in-game helpers, smarter bots, and system-level guides that eliminate the need for YouTube rabbit holes?
On the parenting side, Jeff reflects on a huge milestone: letting his teenager go to a sleepover at a house where he hasnât met the parents. The shift from full control to guidance, trust, and independent communication is realâand so are the growing pains.
Also in this episode:
Nostalgic memories of sleepovers powered by instant coffee and Halo
Xboxâs leaked Steam integration tab and what it could mean for console-PC crossplay
The dream of every game, everywhereâno more platform wars

This week on New Dad Gaming, Jeff barely makes it back from the brink after being taken down by the dreaded dad plagueâbut thanks to the Steam Deck, he managed to game his way through recovery. Trevor and Jeff discuss how portable gaming is perfect for sick days, and why handheld gaming may be entering a new golden age.
Speaking of challenges, Jeff officially steps into League of Legends after watching Arcaneâbut is immediately hit with new player overwhelm, 170 characters to choose from, and a community that isnât as toxic as expected (yet). Will he be able to hold his own in a father-son showdown, or is he already doomed to be carried by his kid?
Meanwhile, Trevor finishes Spider-Man (!) but sets his sights on something much tougher: Elden Ring. With his gaming backlog cleared (for now), he embarks on a fresh journey through FromSoftwareâs brutal world, seeking adventure, frustration, and a whole lot of you died screens.
Also in this episode: Steam Deck game streaming surprises, resisting the temptation of free games, and the dream of a Half-Life 3 announcement that will never come.
