  • Gaming Roundup: The Games I Recently Abandoned

    Gaming Roundup: The Games I Recently Abandoned

    I used to be really bad about completing games. I’d abandon at least 50% of the games I played for most of my life. There were a few reasons for this. Part of it is how often I used to have to emulate back in the day. It’s just so easy to turn away from…

  • Discounty Review- A Supermarket Sweep

    Discounty Review- A Supermarket Sweep

    A review code was provided by Keymailer and PQube Games. One of the most famous pictures of the 1980s has to be of Boris Yeltsin’s trip to a random American grocery store in Houston, Texas, back in 1989 (picture at the bottom of the review). Yeltsin was a Russian politician, which was a communist country…

  • Wheel World Review: Tour de Chill

    Wheel World Review: Tour de Chill

    Back during the peak of Lance Armstrong mania, I spent one summer absolutely obsessed with the Tour de France. Some kids have a yoyo phase. Some kids have a scooter phase. I had a “wake up at 6am and watching competitive cycling” phase. The Tour de France is an incredible race. It might be the…

    BigNerdGaming’s Top 10 Games Of The 2020s

    When people talk about gaming in the 2020s, there’s a lot of doom and gloom these days. Development takes longer than ever, so it takes 4-5 years to get games in the same franchise. Developers are facing a level of layoffs that probably hasn’t been seen since the 1983 gaming crash. The increased costs have…

  • Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Review- Craving Tough Love

    Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Review- Craving Tough Love

    As someone who reviews almost every game that I play, there’s a point in the process where I kind of start mentally writing my review. Once I’m deep enough in a game, there usually isn’t much that is going to change. The game kind of gets locked into the score and thought process I have…

    The Biggest Things I Learned Through Video Games At Age 36

    I do two posts a week with this blog religiously. It’s not easy sometimes. If you follow the blog closely, first off, thank you, but second off, you’ve probably noticed how often I find almost any idea and turn it into a list. Part of that is because I’m just a list sicko and love…

    Boys Don’t Cry During The Death Stranding 2 Ending

    Note: There are spoilers for the ending of Death Stranding 2 in this article. They are marked, and the article should still function roughly the same with or without them. But there’s one thing I knowThe blues they send to meet meWon’t defeat me, it won’t be longTill happiness steps up to greet me Raindrops…

  • BigNerdGaming’s Top 10 Indie Games of the 2020s

    BigNerdGaming’s Top 10 Indie Games of the 2020s

    I always want to stipulate something before I highlight indie games. I don’t ever have indie game liste because indie games are “lesser than” and need their own category to stand out. I do it because indie games just existing is always an incredible accomplishment. We have teams of 100s pouring years and millions upon…

  • Three Reasons Why You Should Keep The Timer On In Hell Clock

    Three Reasons Why You Should Keep The Timer On In Hell Clock

    You can read my early thoughts on Hell Clock here as well. Hell Clock launches today. This is a game built around the War of Canudos in Brazil back in 1896. But essentially, this is the closest thing to if Diablo or Path of Exile was a roguelite. There’s plenty of loot, build options, and…

  • Three Early Impressions: Hell Clock

    Three Early Impressions: Hell Clock

    A review code for this game was provided by Keymailer and Mad Mushroom. When my wife and I went on our first date, we both pretty much knew afterward that we were going to marry each other. Neither of us had ever felt that way about anyone before. Sometimes, both parties connect immediately, and it…
