Arcade Block - October 2014

This month’s Arcade Block wasn’t the greatest, but still pretty cool. From Mario to Street Fighter to Half-Life, this block has it.

Here we go!

1. Portal Key Cap

2. Notes from  Hyrule magnetic whiteboards

3. Mario Kart Pull Back Racer

4. Street Fighter themed Pixel Bricks

5. T-Shirt of the Month - Freeman’s Crab Shack

6. Arcade Certified Product of the Month - Plush Flying Squirrel Mario or Luigi

He looks so angry.

Sorry for the short review. Hopefully next month’s block is better. This was definitely not worth the $30 this month.

May the Force Be With You!

Team Koei and Nintendo Had a Baby: Hyrule Warriors

Team Koei and Nintendo Had a Baby: Hyrule Warriors

If you haven't already heard of Mom 'N Pop Co-Op, let me (Mom) give you some background. My husband (Pop) and I decided to formulate a YouTube gaming channel in order to represent the fun a couple can still achieve outside of the demanding lives of parenthood. We know that as gamers, it is essential to enjoy our free time with premium gaming, as well as talk about "adult" things.

We play through popular titles while discussing our every day life including our adventure through parenthood. Some of our current playlists include Super Mario 3D World and Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition, but there are a few more. 

We post daily videos, but weekly I will generally provide highlights through New Geek Protocol. 

This week we started our journey through Hyrule Warriors, which is a perfect marriage between the Zelda and Dynasty Warriors franchises. I kid you not, it is like Lu Bu and Zelda procreated. Here is the first entry into this series. 

Stay tuned to our channel for more awesomeness, and don't forget to subscribe!  Also, please make suggestions for games you would like to see us play in the comments below, if something tickles our fancy, we will appease you the best we can!
