Arc Raiders is the hot new extraction shooter everyone’s talking about… and the community is actually nice?! 😅   This week on New Dad Gaming, Trevor and Jeff crack open the last of the pumpkin beers, dive into the surprise hype around Arc Raiders, and unpack the controversy around AI voice acting and what it means for real voice actors and future games.   From there, it’s full-on dad mode: Trevor raids eBay for cheap Magic: The Gathering cards to build a cube and see if his kids can handle the chaos of modern MTG rules… while he struggles to remember what lifelink even does.   Jeff, meanwhile, goes galaxy-brain with Dyson Sphere Program, turning chill dad evenings into interstellar automation spreadsheets, all thanks to their ongoing “year of no new games” challenge. They wrap with a quick (and painful) update on Jeff’s 25-minute, zero-progress attempt at Silksong, driven entirely by his determined teen.   If you’re a gaming dad trying to balance backlog guilt, new releases, kids who are better at games than you, and the ethics of AI in gaming—this one’s for you.     ⏱ Episode Timestamps (approx.)   00:00 – Cold open, dad life, and missed episodes 02:30 – Pumpkin beers, espresso porter review & maybe… Christmas beers? 07:20 – What is Arc Raiders and why is everyone loving it? 10:30 – PvPvE, surprising kindness & emergent co-op in Arc Raiders 15:30 – AI voice acting, ethics, and what it means for voice actors 23:50 – Magic: The Gathering with kids, cube drafting & card complexity 34:40 – Dyson Sphere Program: the ultimate dad automation game 40:45 – Jeff gets wrecked in Silksong at his kid’s request 42:20 – Outro, community shout-outs & how to reach the show       🎮 About New Dad Gaming   New Dad Gaming is a podcast about fatherhood, gaming, and new dads figuring out their gaming lives.

This week on New Dad Gaming, Trevor and Jeff hold a special session of Dad Court to determine if their backlog challenge has been broken—or if there’s still hope for their gaming honor. Spoiler: Jeff may have withheld some crucial evidence… Jeff confesses to a near-miss after buying (and refunding) Elite Dangerous over a cockpit color mod—but later drops the bomb that he bought the Oblivion Remaster. Can the court forgive a purchase that feels so right? Trevor also stands trial for getting dangerously close to a Switch 2 pre-order while helping his brother secure one during the pre-order madness. Temptation is real, gaming dads.

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 empathy—and 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 consequences—grumpy but mature—and reflect on how modern parenting is shifting away from the old-school punishment roulette. But the surprises don’t end there. Jeff battles venue limbo while planning a private Minecraft movie birthday party—dodging popcorn-throwing trends and last-minute confirmations from a theater that seemingly doesn’t 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.

This week on New Dad Gaming, it’s all about the Nintendo Switch 2. Trevor and Jeff dive into Nintendo’s massive announcement, breaking down the upgraded hardware, surprising launch titles, and some truly unexpected exclusives—including Dusk Blood, a spiritual successor to Elden Ring that’s 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, Nintendo’s bringing the magic for kids—and 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 2’s game streaming, 4K docked output, and 120Hz handheld support. The long-awaited return of GameCube games, including Super Mario Sunshine, Luigi’s Mansion, Fire Emblem, and more. Launch titles like Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition, Final Fantasy VII Remake, Street Fighter 6, and a Kirby racing game no one asked for. The dads also discuss the new Zelda Notes AI Assistant, a built-in game coach that eerily resembles something they just talked about on a previous episode. Is New Dad Gaming influencing the industry? They’ll let you decide.
