If you have not had the opportunity to participate in a White Elephant Gift Exchange, many would consider you lucky. I have participated in many a gift exchange thanks to working for a large international corporation with employees from many different ethnic and religious backgrounds. Since the White Elephant Gift Exchange is a silly little game at its core, it stands to reason that you could improve it, which someone did. Continue reading
Taken as a whole, it is simply incredible how many creative people are bent over their keyboards and devising ways to chuck dice and get treasure using pen and paper. If we could get even half of them to focus on world peace, I doubt we’d have wars in 20 years. And while that might sound like an unobtainable goal, I think it is well in bounds to suggest that the games listed will allow me to taste the thrill of the dragon hunt once more! Continue reading
My wife and I were of the same mind in regards to how television would not play any role in the upbringing of our children. We were high on our mighty horse and pontificated the benefits and righteousness of only using art, literature, and music to stimulate and accelerated the rapid growth of our children’s minds. Three children later and I now know better. Continue reading
Father Geek was invited to attend a Daddy Blogger “behind the scenes” tour of Walmart’s and P&G’s 8th and newest Family Movie Night film! I was given access to the movie set location, the crew, and and the actors. The experience was incredible and I am very happy to be able to share it with you! Father Geek goes Hollywood! But don’t worry, we won’t let it go to our heads…much. Continue reading

Good gravy, what rock have I been under for the last 2 years?! This video was released in 2009? And I missed it? Was I asleep that entire year or something? I blame my friends for not telling me about this. Blame and scorn them. YOU HAVE BEEN SCORNED! Continue reading
The New York based comedy troupe, The Whitest Kids U’Know, created a highly entertaining commercial spoof for a non-existent board game. I have watched it many times and for some reason or another never shared it. The video shows the worst game ever to not be created (thank goodness). Continue reading
Today’s games come in different degrees of quality. Some components are very solid and durable with rich colors and designs. Some come with pieces made out of wood, metal, or plastic. I can say without fear of provocation that the game industry simply does not make them like they used to, which is a real shame. Continue reading
Argue your case for why a famous character would win a random event of silliness! Each player is given a very short amount of time to make their case to the other players, attempting to convince them that their selected famous character would win. In the end, the majority decides the argument and all the listeners get to cast their vote. To the victor goes a point and one step closer to victory! Continue reading
Almost all dice towers have the “tower” portion which is a vertical hollow with several slanted shelves on the inside that “tumble” the dice for maximum randomness. These dice then spill out into a tray located at the bottom which catches and contains the dice. Dice tower designs range from the exceedingly functional to the insanely artistic. I thought I had seen them all, then I saw this. Continue reading
As we became more tech savvy in both our own understanding of the world and the culture around us, the young boys and girls of my generation began to give our father’s more “geeky” presents, even though we had no inkling of what “geeky” meant. Digital watches, Walkmans, tapes, and records became the norm and expressing our love through the medium of pasta art became a thing of the past. Continue reading
