Arms for Nintendo Switch
Photo-A-Day #4441

I received a download code for free from Nintendo for the upcoming Nintendo Switch game ARMS. It is being released on June 16, 2017 and is going to be a lot of fun for the whole family. My impressions of the game are completely my own.

Andrew and I played this game for the first time today. We played a bunch of times before we made the video so that we could both get a feel for how it works. Then we played a bunch more after the video, too. We tried all sorts of different play options. We played Volleyball, Hoops and many more. I even played online with whoever else was online and I liked that because I went through all sorts of combat modes to see how many options there are to play the game.

We had so many laughs playing the game. I can’t wait until the whole family can play together on teams. Once we are all together we’ll give it a go. One of my favorite play options is Hoops. It is hilarious when you slam dunk your opponent into the basketball hoop. Volleyball goes by too quickly, but that is probably because we didn’t volley. If the ball hits the ground it explodes.

I held my own when playing online. I actually beat the other players in the first three games and then I started getting beat. Here is Andrew kicking my butt while I try to talk about the game and play at the same time.

Disney Social Media Moms On the Road

Today I went into Boston with my friend Annie Stow of Stowed Stuff Daily Vlogs. We were headed to boston to attend the Disney Social Media Moms On the Road mini conference. This half-day event was a lot of fun. We learned all sorts of things about the Disney Parks as well as the way Disney does their Social Media. We learned from the people who are doing the Social Media for the Disney Parks and it was really eye opening. I was really impressed and would love to work on Disney’s social media some day, that just sounds so amazing. What a place to tell stories.

Everyone who spoke to us was very interesting. I learned a lot and was inspired. I also like that they thought enough to make me and the other dad blogger there our own set of Mickey Ears that said Disney Dad on them. That made all the difference. It is that kind of special touch that I love about Disney events.

There were prizes and giveaways and also some really sweet thank you bags full of fun Disney Parks swag. I even won one of the random giveaways and Allison totally benefitted from that win. You can see that in today’s video.
