Right then, buckle up, mate! Ever wondered what happens when a bloke tries to be a good dad and ends up getting totally sucked into a video game meant for the ankle-biters? Well, that’s pretty much what’s gone down with yours truly on this week’s episode of Walking with Pete.

We kick things off with a bit of a yarn about the good old days of gaming, from conquering virtual worlds in Civ 6 to the base-building chaos of Red Alert. But then, things take a turn when my little tacker, Noah, gets his mitts on Minecraft thanks to those crazy supermarket giveaways.

Next thing I know, I’m not just showing him the ropes, I’m knee-deep in blocky landscapes, building epic castles with secret tunnels and battling blocky zombies! Turns out, this game ain’t just for the kids – it’s got this old fella completely hooked. And yeah, between you and me, I might just have my own secret Minecraft world on the go now… don’t tell Noah!

So, if you’ve ever found yourself more invested in your kids’ games than they are, or if you just fancy a laugh at my expense, then give this episode a listen! You might even pick up a bit of Aussie slang along the way.

Keen to hear my Minecraft meltdown? Tune in now!
