We’ll Never See the Artwork from These 12 Pokemon Cards Again (Here’s Why) Some Pokemon card art just isn't common anymore. And then, there are the cards that have been outright banned from reprints.

I did a deep dive into the history of banned cards from the Pokemon TCG, because I couldn't find everything I wanted to know in one place. This took ages, but it was so interesting to do!

I’ve still never tried that one but it definitely seems great for playing with a podcast or audiobook!

Very hyped for Inkonbini as well! Great month for management sim lovers lol.

Thanks so much! Hope you enjoy the demo as much as I did!

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream Is The Spectator Sport of Life Sims & Your Mileage May Vary (Review) The new Tomodachi Life delivers on quirky humor and creativity, but it's not going to be a home run for everyone.

My review for Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is live!

I wanted to love this one, and for a few hours, I did. But for me, it just got a bit too repetitive and didn't offer enough gameplay variety.

My 9 Biggest Winners From The 2026 Triple-I Initiative Showcase I strive to cover indie games whenever possible here at Big Nerd Gaming, but I also don’t cover them as charity. I cover them because they often deserve the coverage. This also means that I d…

The Triple-I showcase has become a true "must watch" for me, and the latest showcase once again lived up to my personal hype for it.
