Well, my tiny vacation has come to an end, and I am sad. It was only five days, and most of it was spent doing homework. Really, most of it. I spent more time doing homework than I spent sweating, and I was practically sweating the entire time. I guess what I’m trying to say is: I’ve got a lot of homework.

But I’ve also got a lot of deals for you! Best Buy is having a buy 2, get 1 free sale on games that are priced at $29.99 or higher. There are no specifics other than that on the site, and it says that it’s in-store only, so get thee to the nearest Best Buy if there are some games you want to grab up!

Speaking of in-store, GameStop is selling ModNation Racers: Road Trip for $9.99 today only, and only if you go to the store. I’m going to pick up this Vita game as soon as I’m done work… that is, if my store still has it in stock. They better!

Amazon’s also got a bunch of new deals up this week:

• 17% off Lollipop Chainsaw for PS3 and Xbox 360
• 17% off DiRT Showdown for PS3 and Xbox 360
• 50% off Major League Baseball 2K12 for the PS3, Wii, and Xbox 360
• 29% off the MLB 2K12/NBA 2K12 Combo Pack for Xbox 360
• 40% off the PS3AC EX-01 Wireless Headset

But wait… there’s more! I’ve also got three game-related t-shirts for you today! (more…)

Tomorrow is the Fourth of July! For normal people, that means grilling meat, watching fireworks, getting drunk, and being a sweet meal for mosquitoes. For me? I don’t know what it means. I’m hoping it means I can do some laundry, order some Chinese food, and watch this week’s episode of True Blood. Oh, and play some board games, and maybe check out Dungeonbowl. Nothing says national pride more than that.

Anyway, deals! What’s up for today? First of all, Amazon’s having a sweepstakes – the Seattle Gamer Weekend Sweepstakes, to be exact. The winner will get a trip to sold-out PAX Prime in Seattle (squee!), and the first two losers will get PlayStation 3 consoles. Suckers!

Deals at Amazon this week are:

• Up to 33% off of Brave: The Video Game for just about every platform imaginable
• Up to 33% off of Thrustmaster V.I.P. and S.P.F. Case for PSVita
• 17% off Dragon’s Dogma, which includes a Resident Evil 6 demo code for the Xbox 360
• The Sims 3: Katy Perry Sweet Treats on sale for $15.99 on PC
• 25% off of Dynasty Warriors NEXT on the Vita
• 30% off the Chimaera 5.1 Wireless Gaming Headset

That’s some pretty good deals right there! And there are also two pretty fantastic game-related shirts today as well… (more…)

Not really much going on today, folks! Amazon is still having that Warner Bros. Summer Vacation sale, in which select WB games are up to 25% off. Also, there’s a Dragon Age digital sale, with games in the series going for ridiculously low prices. Get on board and scoop ’em up!

There aren’t really any other deals today. I have been trolling the Internet the last few days and there have been no good deals. I’m getting antsy for some deals, actually – I wish I could find a sanely priced copy of Pokemon: Platinum, for example. But alas, what I really want is Hermione Granger’s time-turner, to turn back time and give me what I need to cram everything in my schedule.

Or, you know, I could just post these around my office, like Geekadelphia‘s Eric Smith did to his:

In other news, there are three game-related shirts today, and two of them are Zelda-related: (more…)

Today is one of those days that I want to curl up in bed with a controller and play Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One while eating ice cream and having my cats circle me like vicious sharks, waiting to pounce and eat my precious dessert breakfast. Wow. Was that really specific? Like it’s something I think about on the regular? Well, maybe that’s because I do.

Anyway, what’s up with deals today? That’s a really good question. The answer to that question is that there are really no good deals out there. I have looked into the Internet, and I have found it wanting. Unless your ideal dream is to save $30 when you buy a Linksys router and Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, that is. Because that is a thing.

The good news is that there are two game-related t-shirts today. Woohoo! (more…)

Woo! Today is a Gold Box video game event over at Amazon! That means there might be some good deals… well, might be, but let’s just say I’ll believe it when I see it.
