Dan And His Dad Play...

Season 2

TV-14
Many of you know the frustration of having parents that don't really understand gaming culture. If you follow my Twitter account, you've probably already heard many of my dad's musings about video games and what I do for a living. While he's a very smart guy, virtually everything about the video game industry (and technology in general) frightens and confuses him.

Where to Watch Dan And His Dad Play... • Season 2

8 Episodes

  • Batman: Arkham City
    E1
    Batman: Arkham CityGame Informer editor Dan Ryckert invites his game-hating father to the office to play Batman: Arkham City. To start this year's gauntlet, I picked one of the two titles that we awarded a perfect 10 to in 2011.
  • Muscle March
    E2
    Muscle MarchGame Informer editor Dan Ryckert invites his game-hating father to the office to play the supremely weird Muscle March. I didn't want to scare Dad off with anything too artsy or weird right away, so I saved this absurd WiiWare title for second.
  • Portal
    E3
    PortalGame Informer editor Dan Ryckert invites his game-hating father to the office to play Portal. Since my Dad has trouble comprehending any video game, I assumed he wouldn't understand a single thing about Portal. I was right.
  • Limbo
    E4
    LimboGame Informer editor Dan Ryckert invites his game-hating father to the office to play Limbo. This was a crap shoot. It features controls that are simple enough for him to understand, but an art style that I was afraid he'd refer to as "tippy-toe crap." Can he look past the semi-artsy visuals to enjoy the gameplay?
  • Bioshock
    E5
    BioshockGame Informer editor Dan Ryckert brings his game-hating father to the office to try out one of this generation's most fascinating games. Irrational Games released one of the most fascinating titles of this generation back in 2007. Will my dad appreciate any part of its explosive beginning?
  • WWE All Stars
    E6
    WWE All StarsGame Informer editor Dan Ryckert's dad hates video games and wrestling. Can he find anything to like about last year's THQ title? If you want to hear me try to explain to my dad why I like wrestling for the better part of ten minutes, this is the video for you. If not, move right along to the next one.
  • Mario Kart Wii
    E7
    Mario Kart WiiGame Informer editor Dan Ryckert invites his game-hating father to the office to play a rare game he actually likes: Mario Kart Wii. My dad is a sport for putting up with the other games I subject him to, so I decided to give him a little break with a game he actually likes.
  • Resident Evil
    E8
    Resident EvilGame Informer editor Dan Ryckert invites his game-hating father to the office to play the original Resident Evil. The fatigue really starts setting in by this point, as evidenced by my dad constantly resting his face on the microphone. Can he get past the first zombie?
