It's time for the next post in my quest to do top 10s for every gaming system I've owned! Today, it's time for the Game Boy Advance! Many great memories with this one, even though it didn't have anything that will likely be on my all-time top 50. bignerdgaming.com/2025/09/15/big…

Had a great time with Julian and Justin talking all sorts of different games as usual. Special props to Julian for inadvertently shaming me into finally launching the podcast after months of inaction. Check it out!

I enjoy soulslikes... until I don't. Usually, I get to a certain point, and the grind isn't enjoyable for me anymore. Especially with all I have going on and all there is to play. But damn it, I'm going to beat Silksong. Here's why. bignerdgaming.com/2025/09/19/sil…

Game #31 of 2025 completed: The Drifter A thrill ride of a "point and click" narrative game. Plot never gets dull. Shockingly cinematic and top-notch voice acting. Only held back by a lot of back and forth puzzle solving. Highly recommend!

A good excuse to re-up my piece about why any talk of people boycotting Yotei from either side is completely useless and a non story. bignerdgaming.com/2025/09/05/eve…

Idyllic JRPG intros have their flaws. But there's a magic and nostalgia attached to them that almost no other genre can match for me. It's easy to get whisked away into their peaceful and pleasant worlds. And I'm simultaneously transported to being a 13 year old again as well.

I had a lot of perceptions of what a point and click adventure game was heading into The Drifter. The game smashed those perceptions in many awesome ways. The game only let me down when it stuck too hard to the usual genre format. My review. bignerdgaming.com/2025/09/23/the…

Last bump. Thanks to all those who checked it out today! The blog also hit a very cool milestone today! I thought it would take many years to get to this point. Eternally grateful for all the support.

I kind of already wrote a Silksong review last week. I was very close to the end when I wrote it. So now that I have beaten the game, I instead offer some reflections on why it was my first soulslike completion. Also, a deep lore dive on my love life??? bignerdgaming.com/2025/09/25/hol…

There are a lot of elements of Silksong that annoyed me. But the stuff that is good is SO good that I just couldn't stop playing it.
