  • So Fond of Clue: The Awkward Guests Review feat. Aaron (Sofonda Booz)
    Feb 23 2026

    Clue isn’t just a board game — it’s a 150-million-copy cultural phenomenon born in wartime Britain, turned cult-classic film, and endlessly reinvented through pop culture crossovers. This month, the Gaymer Daddies welcome special guest Aaron (also known to some as Sofonda Booz) for a full investigation into the history of Clue — from Anthony Ernest Pratt’s 1940s parlor-game inspiration to the 1985 movie with three different endings, to themed editions featuring everyone from Hogwarts to the Golden Girls. We even recast the film for a modern remake and play a game of “Real or Fake Clue Edition.”

    Then we examine the modern spiritual successor: Awkward Guests: The Walton Case. Is it Clue evolved? Is it deduction perfected? And when the Daddies present their SERVE scores — Strategy, Elegance, Representation, Voltage, and Ease — our awkward guest becomes judge and jury. Who solved it best? With what argument? And where does this game land on the final Stance?

    There is an answer. It is knowable. Press play.

  • Survivor 50 Bonus: The Daddies Have Spoken
    Feb 16 2026

    The Daddies are back with a special bonus episode, and this time it’s all Survivor. From early-season nostalgia to why the show became a full-blown cultural phenomenon, Andrew, Jacob, and Jason break down what makes Survivor the blueprint for competitive reality TV—and why Season 50 feels like a true celebration.

    Jason delivers a Survivor-themed Quickie, the tribe swaps first memories and favorite players, and then things get appropriately cutthroat as the Daddies launch their very own Survivor 50 meta-game—drafting players in a snake draft and setting the stage for a season-long watch-party competition. Grab your buff… and try not to get blindsided.

    In this bonus episode:

    • 🏝️ A Survivor-themed Quickie with Jason
    • 🔥 The Daddies’ first memories, favorite eras, and what they love most about the game
    • 🎲 A Survivor 50 snake draft for the Gaymer Daddies season-long watch game
    • 🧔 A rapid-fire debate on the greatest Survivor Daddies of all time

    Until next time—keep on surviving. You’re gonna make it.

  • Gazing into the Unkown: The Vantage Review
    Feb 9 2026

    This episode, the Gaymer Daddies crash-land into Vantage, an open-world exploration game where perspective is everything, no one shares a map, and communication is the difference between survival and being eaten by a kraken. Before exploring the planet, the Daddies zoom out to talk about the Queer Gaze—how perspective, subtext, and lived experience shape the way we read stories that aren’t “meant” to be gay, yet still feel deeply intimate. Jason brings a Quickie on out-of-context texts, setting the tone for a conversation built around interpretation, misreads, and personal experience.

    From there, the group dives into Vantage itself: how it plays, who it’s really for, and why getting lost might be the point. Andrew reflects on being a truly disastrous captain, Jacob breaks down the mechanics, and the Daddies unpack Vantage’s quiet autonomy, its strengths as a solo experience, and the way parallel stories can unfold at the same table. It’s a thoughtful, funny conversation about exploration, communication, and trusting your own vantage point—even when no one else sees the world the way you do.

    Along the way, we talk about:

    ✨ the Queer Gaze

    📱 out-of-context texts (Jason’s Quickie)

    🧭 autonomy and exploration

    🐙 and why Andrew should never be captain
