Fit Dad Lifestyle?

I got an email from Jason over at fitdadlifestyle.com who says he's just like me - a dad in his late 30s trying to find the time to stay in shape and be a good fitness role model to his kids.  Now I noticed from his website that he is exactly like me in every way - except that he owns his own gym and is built like Wolverine.  But he promises that by following his exercise routine that can be done at home and for minimal time each day (along with eating healthy), I too might look like Hugh Jackman. 

Can it work? Will it be done? Will I even have the resolve to be able to make it through the first week? Well, I've been toying with the idea of getting into P90X starting in the new year, so the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. (Matthew 26:41.)  I'm starting to chat with Jason to see whether it can be done and what the results are.  It looks like I may be humiliating myself on this blog shortly in the hopes of becoming fit.  Stay tuned.

In the meantime, check out Jason's site www.fitdadlifestyle.com and see for yourself his philosophy and story.

City of Horror Review

Throw your loved ones to the Zombie horde in the hopes of being the last guy standing.  Just the way a family should.


Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures Game Review

Holy... Moly...

Battlestar Galactica Express Review

This one may be a little obscure for most readers here, but if you need to know how to come by this title, just email me.  I'm happy to hook you up with the guy who produced this for me.


Sunrise City Review

Quite possibly one of my favorite games to play with gamers and non-gamers alike.  A classic in the making if there ever was one.

Dice Tower Reviews: Catan Junior

Mayfair Games brings us Catan to play with the kids.  Get 'em started early with a game that doesn't involve mindlessly rolling-and-moving!  Best of all, pick it up at your local Target!

BabyWatch 2012!

BabyWatch 2012 is upon us, folks.  Within two weeks, the newest addition to Team SuperRad will be here.  Mu, Q, and I are on pins and needles and Lady Rad couldn't be more ready to get to the finish line.  We have been incredibly blessed by this entire experience and our little tie-breaker will be here any day now.  It's like Christmas..!

...if you didn't know when Christmas was and then spent the next 6-9 months existing on 2 hour naps because Christmas always needs to be fed or changed.

Sunrise City Teaser

I've been playing Clever Mojo's "Sunrise City" as much as I can lately (which is not very much given family life), and am enjoying every minute of it.

Quick review? It looks, feels, and plays like a game that should be on your bookshelf for your kids, your grandkids, and your grandkids grandkids to play.  Look for a full-on video review of it as soon as I can find my lav mic which I'm certain is buried at the bottom of a toy bin.

Wreck it!!

My mind is basically exploding right now with the new Wreck-it Ralph trailer.  But as much as I want to jump in feet-first with my kids into this movie, I have to wonder whether the obnoxiousness level is just a bit too high for the sub-grade schooler set.  And sure Disney, I love that you are giving us a love-letter to my gaming heritage, but I really miss the charm and sweetness of classically-animated fairy tale stories.  Give us another Beauty & the Beast, please?

"Reviews on the Road" - Risk Legacy

Just thinking about the past weekend of this game makes me want to play hooky from work and tear into it again.  Darn you societal commitments!
