I appreciate Nintendo including me in a who's who of "dad bloggers" to participate in their DADS PLAY TOO event. This was an online hang out where the company's marketing team highlighted the gameplay and engaged in Q&A for recent and upcoming Nintendo Switch releases. Then we engaged in a DADS ONLY Splatoon 3 tournament.
Growing up in the era of rotary dial telephones and Atari 2600 gaming consoles, the technological advances of easily video conferencing on Zoom and playing Splatoon 3 against people located across the country during this Dad's Night In made me feel both very old as well as brought out the youthful exuberance of my inner kid at heart. In the interested of total disclosure, I did have to have my teenage son provide a bit of IT support to get me up and going for the Splatoon battle. Doah! I hated to admit that.

Nintendo hooked me up for the event sending Splatoon 3, gaming headphone and their idea of a dad cap my way. They also provided me a Nintendo Switch Online subscription so I could connect with the other guys participating in this Dads Night In event to play Splatoon 3 online. I was GEEKED to learn more about a variety of Nintendo Switch games and have fun playing against competitors who were far less competitive and more my own speed then the teenagers who live in my house and their friends who quickly blow me away when I jump in on their Fortnite games with them. Wow, I really am starting to sound like my dad!

Wielding the chains that once bound you, you must liberate your homeland from tyranny, one Mageseeker at a time..png)
