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.

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
Doing the right thing is oftentimes not the easy thing, nor does it reward as often as it socially punishes the individual for doing so. How then, as parents, can we communicate to our children the importance of standing up for what is right and speaking out boldly in the face of injustice knowing full well that they might be attacked for doing so?

Two players (or 2 teams) go head-to-head to see who is the best city planner by carefully placing tiles on a grid to expand their city without going over the limits of their building area. Fun, fast, challenging, and engaging, this is a great game for little and big geeks alike! Continue reading
Every year, a group of German geeks gather together and nominate games to receive the very prestigious and highly coveted Spiel des Jahres (Game of the Year) awards. The nominees have been announced and they all look great! Continue reading
